The claim was tens of thousands of black people were "disenfranchised". Disenfranchised by "cheap voting machones", until a FReeper did an analysis county by county in FloriDUH and showed that the Votematics were more likely in rich suburean white areas than the opposite. A University of Missouri and a University of Maryland prof did the same thing nationwide.
Mary Francis Berry, the PARTISAN chair of the US Civil Rights Commission could olny get three "disenfranchised voters" to testify at hearings in South Flori-DUH. All three were able to vote. One person complained about an unoccupied police car parked down the street from the poll. Intimidation they claimed. Yet he voted.
Another was in a roadblock. Passed inspection of their paperwork and went two miles to poll and voted.
The third was challenged as a felon, went to the Election Judge/Officals, resolved the problem and voted.
There were racial issues, but they were planted there by DEMOCRATS in search of an excuse to steal the election.
By the way, when was the last time you heard someone whine that the World Series winner didn't get as many hits as the loser?
The only black person that got disenfranchised was Maynard Jackson who should have been the DNC Chair, but Clinton stabbed him in the back to install his own bag man, Terry McAUliffe.
This is pure bravo sierra. Anybody have the URL of the (surprisingly) excellent series of articles in the Washington Post about the Gore loss? One of the articles explicitly mentioned that after the GOP street protests spread, he got on the phone with the unions to bus their members to DC to the Observatory protests.
Coincidentally, that weekend was notable for the actions of a Gore supporter who confronted and suckerpunched a 12 year old boy with a Bush sign and the sad scene of the Gore contingent refusing to say anything to the police when they were questioned about the incident.
I haven't posted on FR since those days (used to go as gogo) - can't even remember my old password so thus my new handle, but man Gore and his ilk seriously piss me off in how deceitful they can be. Everything he and his progeny are saying are lies. GOP bussing, my ass!
And Frum has the numbers all wrong. 4 dozen of us? More like 66 dozen at the height of Gore's attempted power grab.
We held up signs and chanted, but we stayed on our side of the street, a long way back from the residence. I don't see how it could have intimidated anyone. We were demure and well-behaved, as protestors go.
Did anyone hear the "whale sounds" Mrs. Gore said she played? I didn't.
As for Mrs. Gore's insinuation that we shouted things that were improper, the only dirty words I heard were from the side of the street with the pro-Gore people. They were few in number, but they made up for it in nastiness. One of them walked down the street in front of us at one point, shouting "F___ing fascists!" at us over and over.
Yeah, there was a kook with a megaphone out there yelling at the house:
Shame on you Al Gore, shame on you. Have you gone mad! Shame on you for sending your spiritual adviser the racial extortionist Jesse Jackson to the Supreme Court to intimidate our judges and threaten to burn our cities. Have you gone mad! Shame on you Al Gore. Shame, shame, shame.
What this Gore duaghter is saying is that There are Democrats who want to foment racial violence for political reasons WHOA! Nothing is 'racial' about "Get out of Cheney's House!"? Yet Democrats were willing to respond with racial attacks. This whole interview says a lot more about them than about their supposed enemies. They try to play the victim but they are very much in an 'us-vs-them' mode.
Nice guy, really, as I remember.
:-)
I'd listen to Dornan's show tomorrow though....
It's DemocRATS who bus in protestors (dba Rent-A-Mob). As for the "scary" remarks made by the crowd, I remember an incident a few years ago where a group of striking Union pukes beat the crap out of a guy who was counter-protesting. When soon-to-be disgraced ex-President Clinton was asked to comment about the beating, he grinned that dirt-eating grin of his and said, "Heck, I thought it was just good old-fashioned political debate."
Sorry. I meant why didn't Al just move into HIS own house.
