1. sad, isn't it? n/t

[babylonsister]

2. Great toon, and we were rooked.

But the election was a lot closer in the U.S. We should have rallied against the SC for even being involved.

3. Which time?

:shrug: :shrug:

4. I remember Tom Delay's thugs banging on the glass doors..

.. of the Dade County election center.

It was after that that everything went
downhill.

12. and that part wasn't shown to the public ... while the "sore losers" were shown

out in the streets ... with the "liberal" media waiting to capture video of the rioters overturning cars and setting buildings on fire ... which never happened ...

5. I've made the point over the last three days

and when they repeated that in 2004... it was me, and a hundred others wondering WTF over, where is everybody else?

My lesson... if you native born don't care... why should I?

Truth be told when it happens again, and it will, I will be there, with the same 100 idiots who still believe enough to do that.

7. I hear you. Native born idiot who protested both 2000-2004 thefts.

It's more ignorance than complacency. Although complacency may be what keeps people ignorant.

6. That certainly the F**k isn't funny, but it deserves a REC!

Oh, so sad but true!! Everyone just said, "Good thing they don't just shot the Liberal any more."

8. If you're trying to make me cry,

I am. But not because Americans don't have the courage of the Iranians.

It's because the last two times it happened to us, it was too smooth for anyone (aside from a small group of people highly attuned to the vagaries of the process, and how they could be exploited) to even question.


"Wow! I guess that the 'values voters' came out in force, and overwhelmed my simple democratic impulse.

"I'm glad I have an explanation, because it's all so very complicated in America."

13. the whole reason to have the gay marriage initiatives was to provide this

excuse. it was planned well in advance. i keep saying that the reason alan keyes was forced onto the ballot in illinois was because they couldn't get a gay marriage initiative on the ballot here. it worked out our way in the end, but still, that was the plan.

9. KnR. They're both great. Danziger is the best. nt

[elmaji]

10. Yes but it wasn't stolen at the ballot boxes.

It was stolen in the courts, and in the hearts and minds of the people.

Otherwise they would of stood up and done something about it.


edit: and 2004 wasn't stolen at all. There was voter disenfranchisement, but I think Bush would of won anyways.

The think that moved that election were the swiftboaters.

14. Welcome to DU. I recommend that you read "Witness to a Crime"

by Richard Hayes Phillips. Then let us know if you still have the same opinion.

11. uhm, have you ever seen the movie Fahrenheit 911?

Watch it from 6:27

"They pelted Bush's limo with eggs. And brought the inauguration parade to a halt. The plan to have Bush get out of the limo for the traditional walk to the White House was scrapped. Bush's limo hit the gas - to prevent an even larger riot. No President had ever witnessed such a thing on his inauguration day."

It's not accurate to say we didn't riot in the streets.

[Echo In Light]

15. Little wonder such people NEED to refer to it as "home of the FREE & BRAVE."

Just keep telling yourself, "It's only a movie ... it's only a movie ... only a movie...."

16. I don't think it's a good comparison at all

In Iran 80 % of the voting populous voted. The vast majority did not vote for the winner of the election. He was projected to possibly come in third. In the US the vast majority didn't vote at all in 2000. Of those that did only slightly voted more people for the losing candidate. Even more to the point the vast majority didn't vote in the state with the election problems. By the way the election process works most of Americans votes were counted perfectly fine in 2000 even if the total end result of the process sucked. Even with all that Bush still had to give his inauguration behind bullet proof glass and had terrible popularity rating up until that day in September whos date I never remember.

17. When I hear "Election Fraud" on the radio I think "FINALLY"

they are bringing it up! then they start talking about Iran. pathetic. Those cartoons are hilarious, that is how we have to get our news now.

[GeorgeGist]

18. Only after Bush supporters rioted ...

and the

Supreme Council

agreed that Bush's civil rights would be violated if all votes were counted.
For obvious reasons, they claimed it was not a precedent to be followed.

[AtomicKitten]

19. I thought today that the Iranians have put us to shame in the regard.

We should have stood up from that suckerpunch and shut America down. That judicial coup d'etat should have never been allowed to stand.
