The DNC has issued a long statement, mostly accusing "For decades, Republicans have engaged in systematic voter suppression and intimidation, from throwing minorities off the voter rolls to ripping up Democratic voter registrations. We make no apologies for fighting these tactics by exposing the dirty tricks when they happen, and helping educate local officials and activists about past Republican tactics so they can prevent them from occurring this year."
They also list what the DNC insists is the complete "section of their field manual titled "How to Organize to Prevent and Combat Voter Intimidation" referred to on the Drudge Report, which focuses on how to detect, prevent, and combat voter intimidation practices."
But the lines are still in there: "2. If no signs of intimidation techniques have emerged yet, launch a "pre-emptive strike" (particularly well-suited to states in which there techniques have been tried in the past)."
Most people would say, "if no signs of intimidation techniques have emerged yet... then maybe intimidation isn't going on." But to the DNC, it's just a sign that it hasn't happened yet. And it is an opportunity to "launch a pre-emptive strike," complaining of voter intimidation. Folks, this is the boy who cried wolf.
Apparently there need not be evidence of wrongdoing for these folks to accuse others of wrongdoing.
Geez. They want to run education but they don't know grammar.
You know, it just occurred to me that Soros is behind all this voter registration and creation of this intimidation guide. It also occurred to me that we are going to have foreign observers here.
Putting on my tinfoil for a bit, let's say we do have massive disruption and demonstrations which get out of hand.
How many National Guard do we still have in the country and not in Iraq at this time? Wrapping my head firmly in aluminum, is Soros attempting a coup? Do we have blue helmets in our future as the left attempts to take control?
Just a thought...been a long, rough day and my brain is probably addled ( :
True.
Exactly. If you want to know what the Democrats are doing, just listen to what they accuse the Republicans of doing.
I dunno. I think your first post was right. They ceased to amaze me long ago. same s***, different day syndrome.
And let me guess ... even though there is no proof to these claims, the Republicans will still have to prove they didn't do it, ala the fake CBS memo.
PROVE IT!!!! That is a slanderous allegation if I ever heard one.
We don't have the time for it even if we wanted to do it. A small anecdote. I was living in a very "old Dem" precinct back toward the end of my single years (early 90s). My next door neighbor, a very odd retired man who had been some sort of unionista in the day, was a polling place volunteer. So I go in to vote,at about 7PM, an hour before close, on my way home from work. While I am filling out my cards, I overhear him joking to another volunteer something to the effect of "now is when all the Republicans come in since they work like dogs." And I was proud of it! ;)
Seriously, they cannot get away with levelling these false charges again. The RNC needs to draw a line in the sand and call them on this.
The Dems are making a number of assumptions, which are simply not true:
1. That everyone will accept their charges as fact, without any proof whatsoever.
2. That they can participate in these kinds of activities and pin it on the Republicans.
3. That they can trot out scores of dubious "witnesses" with claims of intimidation and disenfranchisement, and everyone will automatically believe them.
4. That those "millions of disenfranchised voters" would only vote Democrat.
5. That their unfounded charges will cast doubt on the outcome of the election (but only if their candidate loses).
Similar charges can be made about the Democrats, and they could be just as true, but you will never hear about this from the main stream media:
For decades, Democrats have been involved in systematic voter fraud, registering non-U.S. citizens, multiple voting by the same individual, voting from the dead. We make no apologies for fighting these tactics by exposing the dirty tricks when they happen, and helping educate local officials and activists about past Democrat tactics so they can prevent them from occurring this year.
We must be vigilant aware of their tactics. We cannot allow the Dems to turn the fountain of Democracy into a third world country.
HAHAHAHAHA! You are so cute. Seriously, what is truth?
there's a frightening thought.
It's called transference. It is a sign of a mental disorder. Sociopaths engage in it.
Nasty, evil Democrats. Next thing you know they'll start accusing Republicans of killing their babies.
No they won't do that, they think that is just fine.
Another non-denial denial.
These scum are unbelievable. They enrage me to no end.
This is what children do.
Exactly! That is why P.J. O’Rourke assessed liberals this way: “At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic, and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.”
Foxnews interviewed someone off the Civil Rights Commission that investigated the allegations from 2000 election. They found no evidence of voter intimidation. Also said that the felons purged were mostly white so that showed no racial discrimination either. So, why are they still yelling about Bush stealing the election? Why these tactics to cause distrust in our election process?
They are dangerous people.
A couple of days ago I saw a well groomed looking 50ish apparently professional guy on his way to work. Two bumperstickers on his Range Rover: 1) "Kerry/Edwards 04" 2) "Redefeat Bush". So, our "leadership" here in the corporate world include factions of folks who think like this. Imagine the possibilities.
