Idiot rw blogger/wv columnist attempts to 'debunk' the RFK article

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Real journalism would have at least also looked at Wisconsin, where multiple-state voting likely cost Bush a state.

This piece of crap includes this gem from Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.:

''People waiting in line for twelve hours to cast their ballots ..."
12 hours? An American stood in hours 12 hours to vote?

Impossible. If someone stood in line for 12 hours to vote, he or she would be all over the national media the next day.

Christopher Dodd is a liar for saying it. RFK Jr. is a liar for putting his byline in a story containing that quote. And Jann Wenner is a liar for publishing it.

1. I didn't stand in my precinct with a stopwatch or a sundial, but the

lines were long and I believe the reports.

RFK Jr.'s piece wouldn't be provoking this much Red Reich theatrics if it were dismissable.

I think the man did a great job on that article. If the Republicans don't like it, good.

2. Media Matters' job right now:

To document news stories that came out the next day featuring people who stood 12 hours in line.

3. Great arguments...I am so convinced! (sarcasm)

This reporter doesn't remember anyone being on the news who had been in line 12 hours to vote being in the media the next day. Ergo Christopher Dodd, RFK JR, and Jann Wenner are liars. Wow. Is there an argument there? Evidence? No. Just ad hominem and straw men. Oh, and obfuscation about Wisconsin.

4. We get mention.

"It is not even close. Still the Kool-Aid drinkers at Democratic Underground are buying RFK Jr.'s urine and pretending it is lemonade."

What does this mean?:

"UPDATE: I forgot that some Kenyon College students did have to waite because of voting machine malfunctions."

This dude rants and raves, then whoopsie! "I forgot!"

THIS is classic:



The file name is "DonSurber/goodlooking.jpg". They truly are delusion.

5. That is one FUGLY dude!!

And while appearances shouldn't matter, his delusion--good looking??? He's good at looking at facts and turning out bullshit to suit his pathetic agenda, maybe--makes him fair game.

8. I agree - he brought this on himself.

They all have "that look" - you can pick 'em out on the street. And my guess is that when he's not making shit up and attacking Dems, he's hitting every porn site known to humanity. Just a hunch.

10. you should see the opther pics they run in the paper

sadly, that probably is his best

the guy's columns have single-handedly turned a once-respectable old school conservative-leaning paper into newsmax.

6. Wolf won't admit that he and the rest of the MSM failed the American

people on this. They simply ignored the evidence.

7. gee, and here I actually remember election day 04

And both CNN and MSNBC were showing looooong lines, impossibly long lines, in areas of Cleveland. I think there were more cities in Ohio where they had FOOTAGE (proof, idiot rw blogger!) of the ridiculously long lines.

These wingnuts must think we have absolutely no recall of events that happened not very long ago...it's Orwellian, really, how they rewrite history so quickly after the event.

9. Let this fool and others like him blather.

RFK, Jr's. article was statistically sound and well researched. These right-wing morons have no argument and they know it, so they must do what they always do - pander to their ignorant constituency. When all else fails, just start yelling "terruh-ists, WMDs, CONDITION RED, atheist commie fags will seduce your children! In short, say anything you have to, but never confront the facts!" With these halfwits, anything other than the truth they cannot bear is both acceptable and preferable.
