Anyone hear repuke John Lund re: "Voter Fraud" on MPR today?
This guy is a conservative who wrote a book called "Stealing Elections" and was spewing RW talking points on Minnesota Public Radio today. He blames election problems on "voter fraud" and of course pins that squarely on Democrats. He is a total puke and I was sickened to hear him on public radio.

Here's a link to audio:

Here's a review of his book:

1. wonder why they don't cover other sides to the story??
might be more effective than adopting R censorship and whining approaches to media management by mob.

2. MN PR is sucking up to Tomlinson, "the new boss."
This is just another reason to give them no money...

7. One possibility....coordinated press strategy by Republicans...
raises the question, are they worried about something that may come out, simmering and ready to boil. This is in the category of wish fulfillment influencing my read of the situation. However, why even bring it up unless there is a need to deal with something preemptively. Fund and the WSJ editorial cult are part of the right wing press machine which, if nothing else, is disciiplined and aggressive. Why else would he raise these points?

8. My thoughts, exactly.
Did you listen to the program? This guy was rude and kept insisting on forcing his points with a lot of urgency. He interrupted and said "No, no, no" when the interviewer tried to interject something that he apparently thought might contradict what he is trying to "prove".

9. Didn't hear it but this is good news. He's on point, preaching the gospel
Who knows, maybe something's brewing. It would be silly fo raise election fraud from their side unless it was pre-emptive. Lets hope!
