In an open letter to John Tanner, Chief of the Voting Section of the Dept. of Justice, Bob Fitrakis of the Columbus Free Press responds to the unrequested and blatant whitewash “report” that the DoJ published last week on disenfranchisement (or a lack thereof, as the the DoJ “report” characterized it) in Franklin County, OH.
Fitrakis has been on the ground since Day 1 (and before) in Ohio, and knows whereof he speaks.
The more one looks at the outrageous “report” from the DoJ, the clearer it becomes what a despicable obfuscation that particular piece of propaganda was meant to be. For our money, the DoJ “report” represents perhaps one of the most chilling set of tea-leaves we’ve seen so far as an indication of just how cooked this DoJ now is, and to what lengths they are prepared to go in order to mislead the American public and media away from the truth.
We’re not particularly prone to hyperbole, but we find this small indication of what the DoJ is now made of to be particularly troubling. Anyway, read Fitrakis’ rebuttal to get a sense of how outrageous that “report” actually was…
Go Bob Firtakis! I believe all of us should print a copy of his comments and hand them to anyone who shows any interest at all in the stolen election of ’04.
Last night at a 4th of July party, I discovered yet another of my Repub friends who now believes that the election was stolen, and is unhappy about it.
I want her to now see Bob’s latest.
Yep.
Ok, I thought this might be funny IF it were not so typical and sad.
The State of Ohio is under Code Yellow for Terrorist activity. On the State site it has:
I really am literally speechless at the current Police State of Ohio. It makes me really sad. I wonder if this Terrorist threat is a recurring theme in the news there.
This link comes from:
Ohio State Government Click on the Homeland Security Link so prominently displayed at the top of the page. (sigh)
I wonder what terrorists they are afraid of or maybe it’s the people themselves. Keep Ohio in a constant state of Terrorist threat. This is just sick.
Great letter, Bob Fitrakis!
Jpentz, it IS sickening, but remember all those chemical plants along the Ohio River, excellent and infinitely destructive targets. I’d really start to worry, now that BushCo’s "credibility on all fronts is tanking…
However, there is a WHOLE lot of open land and space in ohio. takes hours and hours to drive past huge vast farmland in a lot of the state.
That IS a terror tactic by their government to keep them scared and down.
Seems like America’s eyes are slowly opening. This country cannot cut down the shrub fast enough. Impeach and jail the Bushmeister, his cheater posturing brother, Hal Cheney, Rove, Rice, Gonzalez, Blackwell, the fakis bushit voting organization and all other deserving "American agenda" scums asap. Reopen the 911 case to investigate government involvement. Review all the damage the Bushit administration policy have done and do a quick reversal. New Presidential election this November is the answer. The real question is stupid white racist America ready for a cool black president. A real American who could put this country back on track as a world leader as opposed to corrupted world loser? Sorry Arnold we ain’t changing any natural born citizenship requirements for a Bushiter.
Jpentz #5 –
I do, of course, agree with you. I was just making a sardonic point.
😀
Hope you don’t mind if I jump in here. I love reading your blog and am often one of the 6 or 7.
Could anyone explain the story on Jimmy Carter? Can’t he see what’s going on? I guess I’m grasping for some shred of decency….
Wonder if 6 or 7 of us should write Mr. Tanner in support of Fitrakis’ letter? The U.S. Dept of Justice website doesn’t exactly give one confidence in contacting them…

The Environmental Protection Agency is called "the Agency" because they no longer protect the environment. Maybe they can change the name of the Justice Department to simply "Just A" Department to fit in with our other current Bushit government agencies.
Funny, ain’t it!
Jimmy Carter likes to moniter elections all over the world! Yet he is not the least bit interested in the Ohio Election! Or the 2000 Florida Election!
Gee, I wonder why!
