BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA -- John Kerry relied on info from the ONION for his voter irregularities BS
Larry Elder show | 4-11-05 | dfu

This is just too good. Larry Elder was just talking about John Kerry and his whining claims of voter irregularities that cost him the election. After all, he just had to turn around 60,000 votes in Ohio and we would have a first lady telling people to shove it from the White House.

One of Kerry's claims is that messages were being given to DemocRAT voters that Republicans vote on Tuesday and RATS on Wednesday. Well, John, it was not a dirty trick. The info was satire and published in . . . . . . . . . . THE ONION!

Yes, Kerry is relying on a satirical piece to claim something that didn't happen. Good grief. We are so lucky that this idiot and traitor is not residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

John Kerry, the haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat, who by the way served in Vietnam*, showed up yesterday at a Boston event, where he was "using crutches as he recovers from knee surgery," reports the Associated Press. He was also using emotional crutches as he recovers from last year's election:

"Last year too many people were denied their right to vote, too many who tried to vote were intimidated," the Massachusetts senator said at an event sponsored by the state League of Women Voters. . . .

Kerry also cited examples Sunday of how people were duped into not voting.

"Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls that if you've ever had a parking ticket, you're not allowed to vote," he said.

Where did Kerry come up with that idea about leaflets saying "Democrats on Wednesday"? Probably from this story, which appeared a week before the election:

With the knowledge that the minority vote will be crucial in the upcoming presidential election, Republican Party officials are urging blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities to make their presence felt at the polls on Wednesday, Nov. 3. . . .

"You can't walk through a black neighborhood here in Miami without seeing our 'Don't Forget Big Wednesday!' message up on a billboard, tacked to a phone booth, or taped to a bus shelter," Monreal added. "The Republican Party has spared no expense in this endeavor."

Before Kerry embarrasses himself further, someone ought to take him aside and explain to him that the Onion is a satirical publication--as is ScrappleFace.com, which came up with the idea first.

* And who by the way promised 71 days ago to release his military records.

Thanks, it's a bit old, but Kerry brought it back up. The sad part is, John Conyers was not even dumb enough to mention the 'vote on Wednesday' in his 'report' which I satired slightly.

Thanks Finny! For the heads-up.

Would you forward Elder my data if you have any e-mail access?

I would love to have this info propogated, just to turn aside a Dummie (or especially Kerry, who spouts that "60,000" number constantly).

I think RUSH did this Tuesday / Wednesday gag years ago.

As I recall it, he played a voicemail from Hillary (or someone with Hillary's voice) telling him not to forget to vote on November whatever -- the day after the election. I'd guess it was in '96.

You don't seem to have a problem believing a claim that is demonstrably false.
