"Rove ran Ohio election results from a computer in the White House"

[underpants]

Okay I must have missed this crazy conspiracy theory*.

I have heard that said at least three times in the House by Republicans who say that is a belief that Democrats hold.

Anyone know where this came from?

*the NYT and Fox News "conspiracy theories" stories about DU (read:all Democrats) was no accident as I have heard that phrase,"conspiracy theories", more times than I can count today.

1. I know that isn't true, but Republicans do count the vote

Look up Diebold

3. Oh I know all about Diebold

I just hadn't heard this theory, which has made it to the floor of the House of Representatives of the United States of America, before.

2. The vote counting boxes called the WH it is in the secret code

7. Gee, why would they mention something we didn't?

could it be to DISCREDIT the case? I hope more people in states where there were problems file law suits...

8. why is it...?

that when I google that statement and variations of it..."NOTHING" comes up...

So where did he get that statement from...could it be...wait for it..."A LIE"...I think so...

Here's what I suggest...if that line is ever used against you in a discussion...or a jab from the righties...ask them to prove where that statement came from...not who said it today...but where he got that quote from...?

Watch them avoid the issue...

9. Where did you hear that?

Excellent point.

Some people? WHO is saying that?

[LoZoccolo]

10. "The UN is setting up the New World Order."

"UPC codes are the Mark of the Beast."
"Weather warfare was used to spring up tornadoes on our farming areas."
"Color-coded reflective material is being put on traffic signs to guide the invading UN armies."
"The Clintons had 50 people killed."
"The little strip in the paper on larger bills is there so the government can track your money."

Why don't we ever hear these right-wing conspiracy theories?

11. They have their own publishing houses for that

And we did hear some of them in the early days of the RW radio.
