In reply to the discussion: Wasn't sure whether to believe the Anonymous/Rove story,until the reaction telling us to shut up @it [View all]ljm2002
(10,751 posts)...no, not really. I mean, if anyone here were defending the (purported) Anonymous letter with one-half the vehemence of those who are denying its authenticity, you might have a point. But many of us are just saying, hey, it's possible there is something going on there. We don't know if the letter is authentic. But we do know that Karl Rove melted down; we do know that the Ohio machines crashed briefly at nearly the same time that it happened in 2004, when Rove had a similar reaction to the vote totals -- but there was a very different outcome that time. All of which is SUGGESTIVE but hardly PROBATIVE.
I just don't get the need to try and squelch discussion. If you really think a particular discussion thread will make "us" "look bad", then a more effective response on your part would be to ignore it altogether, since each of your replies kicks the thread back up to the top, and the number of replies in a thread tends to suggest the level of interest in a topic.
Just a friendly suggestion.
