New Kansas SOS thinks Ritchie stole Franken-Coleman recount

*yawn*

Credible, actionable proof, please, Mr. Kobach.

Eight people went to Ohio 2004. To investigate real voter fraud. I was one of them.

Democracy and electoral integrity died in Ohio (and elsewhere) 2004.

However, do not expect this issue to EVER be covered by the golden microphone.

Please, carry on with your Kabuki Theatre, pseudo democratic debate, discussion and “disagreement.”

Those who have the gold want you all to carry on with it.

Quick, look under your bed. An eeevil Republican. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

The golden microphone tells you to be afraid.

What Edward R Murrow said of Joseph McCarthy many many years ago still holds true to many people in government today.

His primary achievement has been in confusing the public mind, as between the internal and the external threats of Communism. We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men.

We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home. The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies. And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn’t create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it—and rather successfully.

I truly believe that all the republican party has left any more is fear. The only problem is that Americans seem to be becoming myopic. Fear is easy for uneducated zealots. Critical thinking and efficacious debate will lead to peace and prosperity.

McCarthy was right, of course. Murrow attacked McCarthy because he was afraid the senator would soon be exposing members of the press. But McCarty was most concerned about communists who had infiltrated the U.S. government.

He was quite specific in his charges, having cited 59 suspected communists in the State Department. He produced that list, plus 22 others. McCarthy helped uncover a communist spy ring involving Foreign Service officer John Stewart Service and Philip Jaffe, the editor of Amerasia, a pro-communist magazine. He targeted Owen Lattimore, a key State Department adviser and a Communist. McCarthy’s charge against Mary Jane Keeney, a Soviet agent who served as a State Department employee at the U.N., was proven correct. McCarthy was right about Annie Lee Moss, an army code clerk who was proven to be a member of the Communist Party.

In addition to Service, other State Department China hands who gave aid and comfort to the Communists were John Paton Davies, Edmund Clubb and John Carter Vincent. Soviet agents in high positions included Harry Hopkins, who was so close to FDR that he lived in the White House, Laughlin Currie, an economist who was a top Roosevelt aide, and Alger Hiss, a high State Department official who was at FDR’s elbow at Yalta and a key figure in getting the U.N. started.

This story just proves that RePublicans are Nuttier than Squirrel SH1T..

Nahhh. It just shows that Dennis is a frigging fruitlop.

LOLOL

Cary on.. Nothing of any interest to see here folks.

Grin

Wow

Dennis I did not realize how warped your mind truly is.

John Stewart Service: The Justice Department refused to indict with a vote of 20-0. Fairly damning against McCarthy.

Philip Jaffe: Plead guilty to obtaining sensitive documents and fined $2500. Not exactly a break through case.

Owen Lattimore: After years of hearings and investigations was completly and absolutely absolved of ALL accusations.

Mary Jane Keeney: Convicted of Contempt of Congress but that was overturned on appeal.

Annie Lee Moss: Now this one is a joke. At best she may have signed a petition that she did not understand that led to her being enrolled in the communist party, but at no time was she ever active in the party. Kind of like you, Dennis, with the human race.

Even through the test of time, McCarthy and his tatics have never been coroborated or validated. He will go down in history as a hack and a liar whose conscious betrayed him and led to his death by alchoholism.

I have held my tongue with you sir, even prayed for you. At long last though, my temper can no longer be held. You sir are a liar and a bigot, a true philistine. You need to just go away. Your views are simple minded and archaic. You have no right to reside with the human race. Simply put, sir, you are worthless! May God forgive me.

“Service’s case eventually came to the Supreme Court, which ruled in his favor unanimously.[13] The Court held that Service’s dismissal violated U.S. State Department procedures because the State Department’s Loyalty Security Board found no evidence of Service being disloyal or a security risk”

One of many examples of how Dennis has little regard for things like facts or the truth. Doesn’t the Bible say something about bearing false witness?

And how could he tell, all the way from Kansas, that the Minnesota courts missed so much? Did our system embrace that much transparency? Was there something only bitterly partisan republicans noticed? Or did they see only what they wanted to see?

Shall we start tracking republican voter intimidation, harassment, and disenfranchisement efforts with similar zeal?

Minnesota has shown twice now that it is the model for which elections should be conducted.

2 November 2010 was my 6th time serving as an Election Judge.Before I handed out Ballot Reciepts, I would ask the registered voter to verify thier address and DOB. Trust and Verify! I also made it a point to explain the ballot and how to properly mark it so that it could be read by the ballot machine.

The 2008 Recount was done in a manner that we all could be proud of. Mark Ritchie was above the fray and did his job with great care. AS he did this time around as well.

Mark Ritchie is a “former member of the communist party” according to the “senior legal analyst” at Fox News. Watch and listen at mediamatters.org. (http://mediamatters.org/research/200811200012

He never was.

Think about it – the “senior legal analyst” for Fox News puts this smear out there and to my knowledge there was never a correction or an apology. No wonder people like Dennis have so much misinformation.
