This is just too funny! Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has been on a vote fraud shtick for at least two years ever since he began writing about how the Republicans "stole" the 2004 election (somehow they didn't bother to "steal" the elections in 2006). This year he is claiming that the Republicans are again trying to steal the election via "voter suppression." What Kennedy means is that when Republicans dare to challenge the vast number of fraudulent registrations submitted by ACORN, that is somehow "voter suppression." So how to explain the very obvious false registrations submitted by ACORN around the country in such large numbers that the FBI is investigating them? Kennedy has an answer that will induce bellylaughs. Before we get to his money quote laugh line, let me set up the scene where Kennedy was appearing on CNN's Larry King Live last Friday along with radio talk show host, Michael Reagan. Here is the transcript (emphasis mine):
LARRY KING: Bobby, let's discuss the article you've written in "Rolling Stone."
Allegations of -- do you fear a lot of voter fraud coming?
I know that today the Supreme Court went on your side and sided with Ohio's top election officials in a fight with the state Republican Party over voter registration. The judges overruled the lower court ruling that ordered the Ohio secretary of state to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.
What are your concerns?

I get it! I don't think you clearly understood what I wrote, though. The Democrats are saying that the Republicans are trying to suppress the vote by calling out ACORN's fraudulent registrations. Again I ask the question, how are Republicans attempting to "suppress" the vote by pointing out voter registration fraud. And why would a legit voter be concerned or "suppressed?
ACORN has been “victimized” by the same type of workers they and their ilk force the rest of American employers to hire.
I noticed this earlier. With Clinton/Gore/Kerry we had tons of silver linings and stuff we could parody. There’s little to make fun of this time.
It’s like saying the team doesn’t suck, it’s just the players.
Bobby, your dad’s speechwriter wrote what KERRY read before Congress. Lies.
If Dems are so concerned about eliminating voting fraud, they could champion one simple thing that would prevent a ton of it: photo I.Ds. It’s curious though that virtually every major Dem (including the governor of my state of Wisconsin, James Doyle) I’ve heard spout off on voter fraud is against voter I.Ds.
I agree. This is what long term heroin abuse will do to the brain. I can’t imagine why anyone one would listen to anything any Kennedy would have to say, particuarly this one.
