FREEP IDEA! (Florida)

"An online journalist, Robert Perry, drew an analogy to the Democratic convention in Chicago in 1968, where some activists were prosecuted for crossing a state line to provoke a riot," Perez said. Those defendants became known as the Chicago Seven.

Isn't "online journalist" just another word for a "web hack"? What keeps all of us FReepers from being called "online journalists"?

The Chicago 7 brought guns to the party, they knew in advance that they planned to get things up in arms.

There was an LA Times journalist who went to cover the Elian Gonzales story in Miami (she later went inside the Church Of The Nativity standoff). While at a protest in Miami, she started throwing rocks at the police. This was an attempt to start a riot (and fabricate journalism).

The Republican observers did not like how the counting was being done behind closed doors (where ballots could be altered).

[weegee]

I don't see any mention of the overseas military vote. I don't see any mention of the banked phone calls (from Texas) on election night to ask Florida voters if they mis-voted (if voters knew afterwards which hole they punched then they knew enough to punch the correct hole). The Rat mobs were rent-a-mobs but I don't see any allegations of such activity.

[weegee]

Does this video show how to stack multiple ballots together and punch the (Gore) chad? It would be very informative to show how dimpled chads are created.

[weegee]

Non-partisan my a**. The only way this is non-partisan is if they include the Green and the Red parties (Communist Party, Socialist Party, Socialist Workers Party, etc.) along with the Rat Party. It is definitely a Republican smear.

looks like only the AFI is interested in showing this after election day. I wonder if it will be on a double bill with some other propaganda. Perhaps The Eternal Jew or Triumph of the Will.

[weegee]

At least the "AP" story stated that it was heavily biased:

Although the highly partisan film accused Republicans of "stealing" the election, the directors also said the Gore campaign should have been more concerned with counting every vote, instead of merely finding the necessary votes to win the election.

[anniegetyourgun]

These folks will never get over it. But amazingly enough, when their prez is about to be impeached they were so ready to "move on."

[Teacher317]

but of course the DNC knew exactly how that lie would play in the inner cities where they frightened young children so much, these children cried...fearing the President Bush would make them slaves.

I can personally affirm this. My black students said it repeatedly when the election fiasco was still undecided. I even asked them if they were enslaved when his father, GHWB #41, was president... and they said YES!

NEVER underestimate the power of emotional control over child-like minds.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I don't know how to respond to their tactics....to frighten children to that extent for power's sake...how could they have fallen so far? David Horowitz gives many other examples of terrified and confused children who were told by the Democratic Party that Republicans were evil racists, slavemasters and bad. That's terrorism, bearing false witness, child abuse. Love thy neighbor?
