Cinti Enquirer (Warren County ring a bell) politics blog has lede with RFK
got to work on this thread and show that the facts are more compelling than truthiness anyday.

PS the Enquirer also failed to investigate Hackett v Schmidt in which 91 Clermont County precincts were tabulated late due to wet ballots, giving Schmidt a narrow win

1. The Cincinnati ENQUIRER is a flunkie for whichever Rethug goon is
running in virtually any race at all, city, county, state, or federal.

A very conservative newspaper, better off avoided altogether. If you're ever in Cincinnati, pick up the POST instead. It's a lot better.

As if you had any doubts, that article conclusively proves that RFK, Jr. is a Moonbat nutjob.

Fits right in with the rest of the Left these days - believe any lie that harms President Bush, all for political gain.

The Democrat Party has lost its soul, probably during the early nineties.

All of you coloreds in Ohio need to vote for Ken Blackwell this November. He's a man who can get a job done! Just look at the terrific job he did helping President Bush, The Decider, to win Ohio in 2004. He kept some of the criminal coloreds from voting in Ohio. He did it for your own good too. You need to learn to pull yourselves up by your own bootstraps, and not get ahead because of affirmative action or head start. Ken Blackwell will teach all you coloreds to care for yourselves for a change.

That's our Emma. Using reason and logic to construct an airtight argument. By the way, Emma posts these messages between her shock treatment appointments. ZZZZZZZZZZZaaapppp goes the medula oblongata!

Emma, when they're giving you the juice, don't open your mouth to scream about Bill Clinton - you may drop the rubber gag.

So Emma,
What exactly is a Moonbat?
Look in the mirror. You live in the state renowned for fraudulent votes including those cast by dead people.

Hilarious "Phil Heimlich Blows His Nose" campaign commercial on Pepper's website.

Where exactly do you live Emma, the moon? I haven't heard the term "coloreds" in 10 years. What color are you? And if RFK didn't pull all these facts together, who else would? We can no longer rely on the media to dig because they don't spend the time or money on investigative reporting. And reporters who question the government get labeled unpatriotic or conspiracists.

Congressman John Conyers did a report on all the anomolies across the state of Ohio Ken Blackwell hasn't done his duty to account for. Bob Fitrakis is an international election observer who has documented how ythe GOP stole the election with Blackwell's help. You can see this at freepress.org or bobforohio.com

This was also covered by the BBC. It would be nice if we had a real newspaper that would investigate this.

To purple moonbat:

There are others on this board that spoof other people's identities, I assure you, I wouldn't use those kind of remarks on other minorities.

Only a Liberal finds pleasure and justification in using words like 'coloreds', 'uncle toms' or 'koons', and you can find them doing it repeatedly on this board.

Emma you are a moron! Liberals don't use language like that and Bush stole the election.

7. Way to go DUers we've had some good comments approved on this blog
Bookmark this blog, it's SW OH and it's going to be ground central for preventing a Blackwell governor.

My latest:

I think the reality is that a lot of whites across the political spectrum don't have a problem with the suppression of poor and minority voters. That is ad because that is not democracy and it's not too different from the early requirement that only landowners could vote.

Reality is that the poor are much more likely to "stay with" rather than "live at" a particular address. When I did walk lists for Kerry in urban neighborhoods I found people who were staying with a sister, an uncle, a grandmother or a girlfriend. So the GOP sends out registered letters to newly registered minority and low income registrants and when the letters are not signed for declares these citizens to be suspected of vote fraud and added to a list of voters to be challenged. If you've never been evicted or served by bill collector's you may not realize that registered letters are rarely viewed as a good thing in low income neighborhoods, not to mention the fact that these letters came from the GOP, so surprise surprise, the GOP got what they wanted and it's called "Jim Crow version 2.0" or lets accuse minorities of being complicit in voting fraud. They then enlisted and paid GOP "vote challengers" $100 and dispatched them to low income and minority polling locations. At a precinct in Mt. Auburn, Howard Wilkinson writes:

http://www.enquirer.com/midday/11/11032004_News_mday_voting03.html
<b>
GOP Challenger Becomes GOP Poll Judge

At the Holy Name Church Parish House in Mount Auburn, where two overwhelmingly Democratic and African-American precincts vote, a person who was to have been a GOP vote challenger was named at the last minute to fill a vacant position as one of the regular Republican precinct judges who are always on hand to monitor voting.

Voters and vote monitors complained that the GOP precinct judge was questioning every voter about his or her address and "being a jerk about it," Burke said.

Burke and Tony Reisig, a Republican administrator at the board of elections, were dispatched to the Mount Auburn polling place to talk to the poll worker.

"We made it clear that if he did not stop, he would be pulled out," Burke said.
No further information was given to indicate if the GOP worker was pulled or if he ceased his inquisitory behavior.</b>


The reality is that Ken Blackwell's actions were designed to prevent minority and low income voters from being able to cast a ballot or to have their ballot count. How else does a voter reporting to a precinct in a multiprecinct polling location who waits in the wrong line and votes 20 feet from the precinct they were supposed to stand in line for deemed to be casting an unlawful provisional ballot that Ken Blackwell insists not be counted? 500 people in Hamilton County who voted at the right location/wrong precinct had their provisional ballots discarded.

Since when is preventing franchise something to proud of?

In 2004 Ken Blackwell did not want African American votes to be counted at the same percentage as white votes because he knew those votes were likely Kerry votes and Ken Blackwell worked first and foremost to get Bush/Cheney reelected. This same Ken Blackwell wants Ohio blacks to vote for him because he is black.
