If John Kerry had been elected President, Billy the Burlap Boy would have gotten up and walked, I tell ya'! He woulda' walked!!
That joke was going around in 2000, and Al Franken closed one of his appearances on an evening news show last year by doing the same bit, only in reverse (with a straight but smirking face).
Is it hugh too?
The "vote on different days" thing is a very old joke. I've heard it my whole life.
thxs
John Kerry was too busy to have heard it. He was in Vietnam, you know.
Onion ping ... check out post 49 ... )
i can't believe that idiot communist sympathizer came as close as he did to taking the white house.
It is common behavior among socio-paths. They work so hard at telling their lies that they come to believe them as truths themselves. That is why they can be so convincing. After point they don't even know they are lying.
Is this for real???
Yes. James Taranto wrote about it in OPINION JOURNAL, either yesterday or today. I am pretty sure that is the source used by Larry Elder.
Ping for SF71 see post this replies to, and all the rest...
OMG!
JFK served in 'NAM???????
Three PH's--what a HERO! (/sarcasm)
DAMN!
;-)
So.. people have been sending out these fake e-mails every election day for years and years, but the Onion stole the joke for an article, so Kerry must have used the Onion as his source?
It sounds more like he collected some examples of the fake e-mails and is trying to interpet them as devious tricks rather than stupid jokes. The Onion doesn't have anything to do with it.
Of course, if I were a Democrat I'd be pretty insulted that he thinks his voter base is stupid enough to fall for that kind of thing.
I remember news reports about flyers circulating in heavily Democrat-populated areas giving these wrong instructions about when to vote.
The fake flyers were also discouraging people who had traffic tickets or family members who were felons, and a variety of other things like that.
The Onion did run a satire piece where they posted a picture of a fake billboard telling Democrats to vote on Wednesday.
But Kerry was referring to the flyers that were found circulating, not the Onion article information.
Ketchupboy is just using the democRAT modus operandi -- repeat a lie often enough and BINGO! It becomes the truth!
I think the Onion and Jay Leno and a few others did gags about this story after the flyers were made public.
But Kerry was apparently referring to the source material, not the comedy routines that were borne out of the source material
Welcome to FR. I challenge John Forbes Kerry to produce a voter who was disappointed because he showed up at the polls on Wednesday. It is a typical non-issue put out by the RAT bastards to divide us by race and keep their base angry.
January 5, 2005
(Washington DC) - The well lubed Democratic Machine is in full thrust. Millions of voters are set to march in Washington DC tomorrow to protest the certification of electors. The other shoe has finally dropped and Bush's 2nd Inauguration may not happen. The brilliant non-partisan Representative John Conyers, Jr., Ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee has released the long-awaited Status Report Preserving Democracy: What Went Wrong in Ohio. This report weighing in at over 100 pages threatens to shake up Washington DC and rock the world with rock-solid evidence of how Bush stole Presidency for the second time.
Among the most damaging evidence from the report includes:
-While Republicans sat comfortably in their country club and had voting machines brought to them to cast their votes while eating caviar, Democrats had to fight the bitter cold and rain to go to their own polling place and some even had to wait in line to vote.
-Evil Hitler wannabe Uncle Tom partisan Bush supporter Secretary of State Blackwell actually insisted that voters be registered to vote, similar to tactics used by the Nazi's in the 1930's.
-Exit polling data which has never been wrong in the over 4 billion years the earth existed of roughly 1200 Ohioans did not match the actual vote of over 5.7 million voters. Non-partisan Berkley statisticians calculated the odds of this happening approaching nearly a google-plex to one, which happens to be the odds of Richard Simons being straight.
-The Bush-controlled corporate monster Triad, who provided Ohio's corrupt voting machines, actually provided information to elections officials to assist them in their recount, thus insuring the recount would match their corrupt results.
-While the honest Democrat challengers randomly selected precincts with a perfect mix of all races and politely challenged voters without any partisan motives, the brown-shirt Bush supporters concentrated their vote challenge efforts in Democratic areas, and used their disruptive bigoted tactics to intimidate mostly in minority areas.
-There were thousands and thousands of intimidated voters who were scared by these Gestapo tactics into not selecting either candidate for President. These spoiled ballots alone could have given the real winner, the honorable war-hero patriotic Senator John F. Kerry, the election.
These numerous unexplained unprecedented highly-illegal irregularities are sufficient cause for both houses of Congress to reject Ohio's electors, thus giving John F. Kerry the majority of electoral votes cast and thus making him the President-elect. Disregarding theses illegal Ohio electors, and ignoring the apparent vote of 5.7 million people is the only way to restore our Democracy and rebuild the lost confidence that everyone has with our corrupt voting process. January 6, 2005 is set to be a historic day for America, perhaps even surpassing July 4, 1776. Yes, help is on its way!
