Greg Palast is an investigator of corporate fraud and racketeering turned journalist. Tribune magazine called him “the most important investigative reporter of our time” and he is best known in his native USA for his investigative work on how thousands of black people were not able to vote in the Florida ballot at the 2000 election in which George Bush was elected president.

So as you can see from his biography Mr. Palast specializes in fiction, tho I'm sure he's a featured speaker at the tinfoil hat conventions.

Talk about hysteria!
(The root hyster- comes from the Greek word for womb. So, the psycholological disturbance termed hysteria was originally believed to be a disease of women and resulted from some disturbance in the uterus.)

Cripes. Where I live, it's not even legal to ask voters for ONE PIECE OF ID when casting a ballot.

What a crock.

They're getting desperate.

And it shows.

Complaints by a couple of good ol' boys to legislation have never stopped the GOP leadership from rolling over dissenters.

I can't count the number of time the good ol' boys have been begging the GOP leadership for a guest worker program, amnesty for illegal aliens, and absolutely no fence on the border.

I can't speak for the rest of the country, but here in NYC where the Demon-rats run the schools, only fractions of classes graduate.

New York is actually churning out 4 times more morons than ever. Of course in defense, Randi Weingarten is carping about the teachers not making enough.

If I was the mayor, I would offer a raise as soon as an entire class graduated.

The way it is now, most NY Public School children earn a GED at Rikers Island.

Yes, Palast has been in the forefront of exposing wrongdoing and corruption, even though he could find absolutely no facts or evidence indicating such. This is truly and important distinction. He also has carefully avoided researching and exposing the obvious vote fraud corruption perpetrated by Democrat officials during the idiotic "Gore hanging chad recount" fiasco. He has effectively missed clues and indications of blatant vote manipulation via this phony gambit that a blind man could see. No wonder Poltroon Magazine has honored him with the "most least important investigative journalistic failure to ignore in 2006" award.

the Republican party's decision yesterday to "delay" the renewal of the Voting Rights Act has not a darn thing to do with objections of the Republican's white sheets caucus.

Wow, this nutcase refers to the KKK at least 3 times in this article; the only ex-KKK member I know of in Congress is U.S. Senator Robert "Sheets" Byrd, Democrat from West Virginia.

Oh, the irony of it all :-)

This person has touching faith. Generations may come and go, the Republican Party may switch from the assumption that tax revenue is proportional to tax rate to the assumption that tax revenue is weakly or even negatively influenced by tax rate, southern whites may drop their tradional allegiance to the Democratic Party and even join the party of Lincoln - but he has faith that white southerners will never be respectable.

Blacks may dominate voting districts in all our cities, and the reported turnout in Philadelphia may exceed the adult population of the city - but this foreigner knows that blacks are discriminated against in voting. He has faith. Facts? He don't need no stinkin' facts! He can make up facts anytime he wants!
