Thread Name: BS: Kerry is an arrogant asshole
Subject: RE: BS: Kerry is an arrogant asshole
Old Guy, you are the sneaky liar. You are simply plagiarizing lies from all over the internet.

For example:

Only two people complained to their respective precincts about the ballots while the election was going on. It wasn't until the Gore campaign unleashed a massive telemarketing scheme asking, "Did you have a problem with voting and the ballot?" of thousands of Florida voters they called did people begin to complain. "If you did, then you must report it because it is crucial to the Gore campaign," the telemarketers told voters.

Was written by Jonathan Cribbs, editor in chief of the Loony "Patriot Press."

And

"Even before polls closed on election night in Florida, Gore-paid telemarketers made thousands of phone calls to Palm Beach Democrats suggesting and encouraging ?complaints? of voter confusion. Remember the ?outrage? claimed about ?inadvertent? votes for Pat Buchanan? This included both direct and reverse claims of racism: 1) blacks would never vote for Buchanan (except that his running mate was, in fact, black, and 2) Jewish voters would never vote for Buchanan; after all, they claimed, he?s an anti-Semite!"

Was writtn by Dan Frisa of NewsMax.com

So where is your evidence for any of it? It isn't exactly from an impeccable source. Even if it WERE a reliable source, you ought to cite it, not just regurgitate it. Otherwise you are a just pretending to be something you're not, a sneaky no-good slime and perhaps even an arrogant asshole.

Finally, the last bit is also irrelevant. Buchanan had little support in the Jewish or black communities, and polls showed that both before and after the election. The suspicious fact was that many more votes were cast for Buchanan in black and Jewish neighborhoods than either pre-election polling or exit polling suggested. People either thought they had voted for someone else, or systematically lied to the pollsters.

Finally, of course, Buchanan's antipathy toward the black and jewish communities is well known. In his autobiography he supports segregation; he has publicly accused Carol Mosely-Braun of grandstanding on the confederate flag issue, saying that the flag has nothing to do with slavery and that the civil war didn't either; he was enthusiastically supported by David Duke and other famous white-supremacists; Zhiranovsky considered him a kindred spirit and wrote him a letter suggesting that Buchanan and he could deport the "troublesome tribe" of Jews to some unfortunate third country, etc., etc. Few Jews and even fewer Blacks would vote for him.
