After all the stuff, nonsense, bullshit, lies, hoaxes, WSJ “editorials”, Fox “News” Alerts, Presidential candidate lies, phony “conspiracy” claims, and-wall-to-wall cable and radio garbage that we had to endlessly suffer through, for months on end, leading up to last year’s election, about supposed, massive “voter fraud” being committed — by Democrats, naturally — it turns out that in one of OH’s largest counties, an exhaustive investigation by a Republican Special Prosecutor, appointed by his former GOP prosecutor partner (the Hamilton County Prosecutor who was also a state co-chair for the McCain/Palin campaign), looked into hundreds of “serious” allegations of such “fraud” and found exactly one such case.
One case.
No, it wasn’t Ann Coulter. She commits her voter fraud in FL and in CT instead. But it was someone who had already turned himself in. His vote was never counted.
That’s it. One case. Out of nearly half a million votes cast in Hamilton County, just one fraudulent vote was found. The Special Prosecutor’s report is here [PDF].
After an entire season, using facts and reality-based information to fend off the insidious, America-hating forces of the evil Republican War on Democracy and their attempts to undermine the very core, the very heartbeat of our democracy, of our nation, for little more than attempted, pathetic — and ultimately futile — political gain, is anybody gonna apologize here? Anybody?
Rush? Sean? O’Reilly? John Fund? John McCain? John Danforth? Karl Rove? Tom Feeney? “Thor” Hearne? Todd Rokita? Jackasess at Powerline? Jackasses at Redstate? The entirety of the shameful, unpatriotic Fox “News” Channel? Anybody? Any of you liars and cowards and thieves and democracy-hating, facist-loving, Stalinesque, Saddamites have the guts, the courage, the sense of decency — the love for your country — to stand up and say you were wrong? That you are sorry?
Anyone? Anywhere?
Of course not. Especially not in Minnesota where not only have they found no such “voter fraud” epidemic — as committed by Democrats or ACORN or anybody else — but the Republicans are now trying to include actual fraudulent ballots in the results of the U.S. Senate race. Now that they need them in hopes of “winning”.
No apologies, of course, because they’ll all be back in two years and the same horseshit will be flowing loud and clear, once again from their democracy-hating souls, out to millions of Americans who are ready to believe — listening over the corporately-run, though publicly-owned airwaves — all over again and again and again. And again.
Not that they’ll wait that long. Measures claimed to supposedly prevent (non-existent) “voter fraud” — little more than measures meant to rob minorities, the elderly, students, and anyone else who tends to not vote Republican, of their Constitutional rights — are moving forward, as John Gideon noted last night, and even as we speak, in TX, in UT, in MS and wherever else you can find depraved, soulless, Republican cretins who despise America, its history, and all that it pretends, and tries desperately, to stand for.
I am ashamed to call you people my fellow citizens.
WOW, what a flame! I am with you 100% on this.
Thank you ever so much.
If the last administration had not done everything in their power to empty my bank accounts, including printing more money in their waning weeks, that has the potential to devalue the dollar by about 80% in 2009 and may cause double digit inflation, I would send you more money.
I sure seems like if the Republicans can’t steal it they piss on it.
Somebody has to get on the tube and show how much tax payer money they wasted for that horseshit.
Then wave that finding in front of the Indiana, Missouri and Florida Governor with cameras running.
Criminals.
Wow! Great post Brad. Your wording and phrasing seemed even more inspired than usual. Was “Saddamites” intended as the double entendre it seemed to be? Keep it up!
Wow… Brad’s in a mood today!
Keep on hammerin’ away, Brad. I agree with you all the way! We can’t let them forget what they said or how they acted, and we must keep shoving it in their faces and hold them accountable.
Yeah, Brad’s throwing heat lately! This is great stuff! Hey, Brad, I hear there’s an opening on the New York Times editorial page. Maybe you can get your Neocon friends to install you there?
Love the article. Maybe you’ve heard, but if you haven’t there was one case of voter fraud in Minnesota and it is halarious. You can read all about it here.

WoW! Righteous anger (and the emphasis is on ‘righteous’) is a beautiful thing to see in an eloquent posting. Thanx! I enjoyed it.
The feeling is mutual, Brad; I’m ashamed to call you my fellow citizen. You call names, you accuse conservatives of hating the country. I don’t hate my country. I love my country. But I’m not a conservative-hating socialist like you.
Hey, wait, O.K., were you using “socialist” as an epithet? I take exception to that characterization. Socialists rock. Conservatives rock. The people Brad’s ranting about are not conservative! They’re destructive. They’re trying to tear down our constitution and our democracy while merely calling themselves “conservatives”. Our country has turned into a vast lunatic asylum, largely because of the flipping maniacs Brad’s ranting about hereinabove.
I don’t think Brad’s a socialist. I think he felt himself forced to give up the brighter side of capitalism to do something about stolen elections and upholding the rights of citizenship.
But, goddammit, socialism, for its flaws, is light years better than capitalism! So, now, you just take that back about socialism….
fuggetit 99, Tush Lumpboil never explained what an “epithet” is to Keith on his entertainment show, you lost him there I’m afraid.
Very, very well said Brad. Everytime I see one of these rabid Republican’s bumper sticker which shouts “This is a REPUBLIC, NOT a Democracy!” I realize just what Democracy hating creeps these people actually are at core. They actually believe that the United States is Consitutionally mandated to be run by the ultra-rich Fundamentalist Christian white 2% of the population ONLY. The rest of the people are born to be their slaves in some dark-age feudalistic way. They are sick, and it’s sickening that they had control of this land for eight long miserable years. But that’s over now. At least for now.

I said nothing about conservatives. I, very clearly, referred to REPUBLICANS who hate their country and its Constitution. Real conservatives love both the Constitution and the rule of law. As I do.
So what’s your excuse? Or was your screed just an opportunity taken to call someone, who (clearly) you know nothing about, a name which you also seem to know nothing about?
