And, nope, not talking about "conspiracies" re: Hugo Chavez and Bushites. U.S. Embassy party, on the night of the 2002 coup attempt, with the coupsters there, and the entertainment was theater portraying Hugo Chavez as a gorilla. I couldn't make this stuff up, Stewie. The Bushites ARE conspiring to topple Chavez, and HAVE conspired to do it - and have done so repeatedly. I have studied this issue extensively, and this is my prognosis: U.S. military intervention, this year, first target, (Chavez alley) Bolivia (in support of a fascist split-up of the country). That is not a wild theory. That is based on extensive knowledge of past godawful U.S. activity in South America, current Bushite policy of supporting greedy, murderous fascists in South America and trying to destroy democratic countries, extensive news analysis, understanding of the stakes (which go beyond oil, and include the World Bank/IMF and other global corporate predators), events in Bolivia and other factors (such as, Rumsfeld's urgency is based on their diminishing strategic ground - for instance, Ecuador's leftist president has promised to kick the U.S. military base out of Ecuador this year; and, the Bushites are losing the political war - and are being ridiculed for their sloppy dirty tricks - in fact, they have almost no political ground left in South America - and they are desperate to regain control of the oil, to extend the "war on drugs" boondoggle, and to look like they are accomplishing something for their paymasters).
Screaming? I'm not screaming. I'm just warning - it's my educated guess that this is what's being planned.
Your accusations against Brad Friedman grow more extreme with each post. Now he's "fueling delusional paranoia." Is it delusional to be scared shitless of rightwing Bushite corporations 'counting' all our votes with 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code, and virtually no audit/recount controls? That's not paranoia. That's common sense. And if THIS isn't a "real" issue to the "Democratic base," I don't know what should be. How about the trillion non-existent tax dollars pouring into war profiteer pockets, amidst a $10 trillion deficit, with the approval of our so-called 'Democratic' Congress? But no, why waste our breath, when the candidate nominees and 'winners' of both parties are being determined by rightwing Bushite corporations with 'TRADE SECRET' code?
You think, if New Hampshire can somehow establish proper "chain of custody" on its Diebold memory cards and other election components, and can somehow prove that they conducted a proper recount, that that is somehow going to show that we can TRUST our elections to Bushite "trade secrets"?
Bradblog and others have already established sufficient cause to distrust this NH recount, and, even if we could trust its results (cuz they at least have ballots TO count, although they routinely DON'T COUNT THEM), that doesn't mean that, a) the count will be accurate in FUTURE Diebold elections in NH, or b) that it will be accurate anywhere in the country - with many states having ZERO audit (no ballots to recount, or, if they have ballots, they don't count them), and the best of states doing only a miserable 1% audit (totally inadequate in a "trade secret" code system).
I heard today that NH recount is being stopped, cuz Kucinich doesn't have enough money. They let Diebold "count" the votes. They pay them multi-millions of dollars for these crapass, extremely insecure and insider riggable machines. They don't do ANY audit - no automatic recount, not even 1%. And then they require that ordinary people PAY to get the votes counted.
What's wrong with this picture, Stewie? And why are you attacking Bradblog, and not Diebold and the corrupt politicians who sold our democracy to these REPUBLICAN corporations?
You are looking at things through the wrong end of the telescope--or rather, from the mirror world of Alice in Wonderland. And the real world looks strange to you - the real world of common sense, where people vote and the votes are counted in public view. Not half-counted. Not 1% counted. Not 3% counted. Not semi-counted, in a world of disappearing "memory cards." And not counted at the expense of ordinary people. But 100% counted, in public view - at our common expense (and a reasonable expense it is, too, compared to Diebold & co.).
The real world of common sense in which democratic countries do not slaughter 1.2 million people to get their oil.
You are throwing a lot of attack words at me (and at Brad Friedman). So I'm going to throw one at you: jabberwocky. You are guilty of jabberwocky - that is, speaking nonsense. Just like a Bushite bashing Hugo Chavez--or like a Bushite "swift-boater" attacking John Kerry--you dwell on one little fact--one tiny piece of a larger situation--a fact that you claim is wrong (with no links), and you extrapolate that tiny thing into a great big conspiracy about Bradblog "terrorizing" people into giving him money. What an insult to his donors! (Oh, they're just "easily fooled rubes," according to you). You're quick with the insults and the wild exaggerations, and unconvincing. And the sad part is that, even if you're right about your one little fact, I'd have to get it from somewhere else - a more reliable source - to believe it...AND it would not diminish Brad Friedman in my eyes, that he made some little mistake of fact or emphasis. What he's doing--that kind of public education and activism--is very difficult. Mistakes of fact or emphasis are a hazard of citizen activism, which often has to take place in crisis mode--and mean absolutely nothing as to the activists' sincerity or the rightness of their cause. Further, our war profiteering corporate news monopolies have utterly failed us in their blackholing of the extreme peril of our nationwide voting system. And Brad Friedman is a crucially important counter to their indifference, corruption and collusion.
Your accusations against him are nonsense, Stewie. Jabberwocky. Bushitism. And the "real issue" is why you are attacking him, and not Diebold and the people who brought us "trade secret" vote counting.
