Watched MSNBC today - 1st time since black tuesday.
And lucky me, it was Pat Buchanan hosting Scarborough's show, with Shitstopher Hitchens.

Hitchens was assailing the "inaccuracy" of exit polls and pushing the spin that EXIT POLLSTERS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ALLOWED NEAR THE POLLING PLACES.

So in other words, THEY KNOW about the fact that exit polls are showing big discrepancies only in states where the touchscreens are used, and they want to try to discredit them, before the exit polls help make the scope of their crime obvious to all.

What a rat bastard.

1. yeah.. I think every rightwing pundit is pushing this meme
It makes me VERY suspicious that they are pushing this so hard now.

Methinks they doth protest a bit too fucking much.

2. I'd take it one step further:


VOTING is a threat to the accuracy of the results.

4. You got that, and that is why BBV is such a danger to this country
it HAS to go...now, because the companies sure aren't going to allow a paper trail for verification. BBV should be our #1 cause the next 12 months...

3. Well, the exit polls certainly seem accurate enough
when touting "moral values" as the movitating factor for lots of RW voters. Did that come up? Didn't think so.

5. Nevada doesn't use touchscreens
and the exit polls were way off there also
