Recently found this encouraging note at DU:
Open Letter to All Election Fraud Hunters:
You are a small group with little coverage except negative. You are up against huge obstacles that are trying their best to thwart your work, and their methods are becoming more and more criminal with each day. You are fighting a group of people who think and act like organized crime: Perpetrate the massive crime, hide the evidence, and destroy those who persist in fighting--sometimes professionally and sometimes literally.
You are fighting belligerent officials who have power and are abusing it, either by illegal actions or misuse of legal powers. But you have brought their actions out now.
You are putting your livelihoods in jeopardy by espousing what is called a "conspiracy theory." But thanks to your work, each day, it is becoming less of a theory and more nearly a fact.
You are fighting an apathetic or complicit press that dismisses you without examining your side. But now the press is being forced to acknowledge you.
And now, some of you have been personally harassed. But there are people who want to protect you.
In the face of this, you still persist, because you know that your work is too important not to. The truth is far greater than the cowardly acts of those who are in every way small and petty. If people determinedly seek the truth, then the truth will win.
Thanks to your work, the votes in Ohio, Florida, and elsewhere WILL be investigated. No matter what happens on or before the 6th, this is not going to die until the questions are answered. It has started already in Florida, and Ohio has effectively re-created the November crime scene by the actions of officials in most counties during the attempted recount. The facts are trickling out and these events will be investigated. I would prefer that it be before January 6, but I have faith that you all are so determined to find the truth, that your efforts will continue past that day if need be.
You are not conspiracy theorists or "tinfoil-hatters." You question what is said to be established "fact" and seek proof in all matters. You do not immediately swallow every piece of information that appears to fit your case, despite what is said of you. You investigate and explore the validity of everything that comes your way, because your agenda is to find the facts. You want to be right above all else. Some people do not realize that this is about finding the facts. They attribute lesser, partisan motives to you.
But they are wrong. They are wrong and you are right. Seeking the truth is NEVER wrong.
Whatever the investigations uncover, and whenever they uncover it, you are still in the right for what you have done. You are the true HEROES, and you deserve the respect of all who claim to be patriots.
Here's to you!

One post added to the above pretty well says it all:
We ARE Woodward and Bernstein!
It's really quite sad at this point.
And they wonder why we refer to them as wacko lunatic nutbags! Sheesh!!!
A Pathetic kook...pathetic kook...pathetic look...pathetic kook.
This is reminding me more and more of "A Beautiful Mind." Or maybe even "Fight Club."
Time for the "How to build a tin-foil-hat" show. (illustrated humor/satire)

You know, the "selfless persecuted patriot in search of the ultimate truth" would play better if you were looking into these instances in more than just states that Democrats lost (OHIO). For instance, I hear nothing of voting fraud in Wisconsin where a politicians son chopped up tires, or in Illinois where over 4,000 votes have been found to be fraudulent not to mention that city pols had 10-20 absentee ballots sent to their houses under different names. (There explaination...we are a boarding house. Unfortunately, no one can find these people or have any record of them even existing)
Bottom line, I'll stand up for any organization that wants to fix the problems with fraud across the country. Personally, I think anyone on the right who even considers vote fraud is a disgrace even if it means we lose every race in the country. I believe that given a fraud free election, Repubs will win every time.
Jimmy Carter is the last truly elected Dem...Clinton, lest we forget, won because of little Ross Perot - both times. He never secured anywhere near the votes of the collective right. Dems know this. They can't win unless the media and the courts give it to them.
One thing I've learned from lurking around left-wing sites is that they fervently believe that the MSM is pro-Bush! I nearly fell out of my chair the first time I read this.
Yeah, if you have to go out of your way to deny that you're a tin-foil hat kook, guess what? You're a tin-foil hat kook! It's kinda like you know "it's the money" when someone says "it's not the money!"

How about this one?
What's the MSM?
MSM stands for "mainstream media," the more traditional TV networks and newspaper/magazines.
