In reply to the discussion: Excuse Me... But In Many Ways... This ENTIRE SITE Was Founded Over A STOLEN ELECTION [View all]markpkessinger
(8,392 posts)Like you, I really have no idea whether the Rove/Anonymous story is true or not. But also like you, having seen what happened in 2000 and 2004, I certainly can't dismiss out of hand the possibility that it might be true. But here's what I haven't been able to understand about those who seek to quell a discussion of the story: why is it that the folks who shout loudest trying to tell others to shut up about it seem to think the significance of President Obama's victory is somehow lessened by any consideration of the possible truth of the story?
I've seen comments to the effect of, "President Obama kicked ass," and "anything to give credit to someone other than the President." Huh? Look folks, nobody is saying the President didn't kick ass, nor does it take anything away from the President's victory if an attempt was made to steal the election and that attempt was thwarted. Why are people so threatened by a mere discussion of the topic?
