KEITH OLBERMANN: Conspiracies Theorized, or Conspiracies Invoked? [DU Suicide Watch!]
MSNBC ^ | December 27, 2004 | Keith Olbermann

SNIP

Last Thursday night, his [Kerry's] lead attorney on the ground in Ohio, Daniel J. Hoffheimer, issued a statement that constituted the third or fourth eyebrow-raiser from the Kerry camp in the post-election period.

In announcing that the Kerry-Edwards group would join the bid in Federal District Court in Ohio to preserve all "evidence" from the election and recount there, Mr. Hoffheimer said, on behalf of the senators, that such preservation was necessary because, "Only then can the integrity of the entire electoral process and the election of Bush-Cheney warrant the public trust."

This evening, after several Web columnists and bloggers joined me in questioning the bluntness of the phrase (one even wildly claiming this was a precursor to a Kerry "un-concession"), Hoffheimer changed his tone.

"I would caution the media not to read more into what the Kerry-Edwards campaign has said," Mr. Hoffheimer advised us by e-mail, "than what you hear in the plain meaning of our comments. There are many conspiracy theorists opining these days. There are many allegations of fraud. But this presidential election is over. The Bush-Cheney ticket has won. The Kerry-Edwards campaign has found no conspiracy and no fraud in Ohio, though there have been many irregularities that cry out to be fixed for future elections. Senator Kerry and we in Ohio intend to fix them. When all of the problems in Ohio are added together, however bad they are, they do not add up to a victory for Kerry-Edwards. Senator Kerry's fully-informed and extremely careful assessment the day after the election and before he conceded remains accurate today, notwithstanding all the details we have since learned."

Well you have to admire the blind faith they had for Kerry. They have no clue what is going on, but they believed Kerry was doing some brilliant behind the scene work.

Mr. Hoffheimer sounds like a reasonable man. It's a refreshing change of tone.

I'm not a psychiatrist, but I'm pretty certain they're exhibiting some serious denial of reality over there at DU - it warms my heart to see them going bananas over this :o)

What a bunch of idiots. Hoffheimer is probably just afraid of being sued. Or having the folks with the butterfly nets come out after him.

I honestly have trouble believing that the Dems are so psychotic they are really doing this.

I was drawn here by the title of the thread. I only came in to watch the DU suicide. Boy, am I disappointed. Post #2 was fun, but I was really hoping for something more graphic.

I have just been over a DU and they are in serious meltdown over the Olberman statement. A few are still in denial and trying to act like they still believe that Kerry will be president but most are either furious or looking to jump. Most of them until today really believed that Kerry was working behind the scenes on his "plan" to take the presidency.

The columnist talking about "unconceding" is Will Pitt from DU.
Go read his original thread on the subject from last week.

It's hard to believe that anybody could be that nuts. I guess they were emboldened by the fact that they were even taken seriously with their Florida stunts in 2000. And of course, their recent Washington State theft has given them a real thrill, so maybe they're so pumped up they've become irrational.

Actually, scratch that. They've always been irrational. But now they're irrational and proud of it.

They said that Kerry's lawyer said not to read more into this than exactly what they are saying, that there are a lot of conspiracy theorists out therre, that basically Bush won and this election is over! I really couldn't believe my ears.

In the words of Will Smith in Independence Day, "Welcome to Earth."
