Excuse Me... But In Many Ways... This ENTIRE SITE Was Founded Over A STOLEN ELECTION

[starroute]

218. Are you really comparing Bev Harris to Anonymous?

Bev was able to pass as a credible voting activist, which is why she was able to mislead people and tar the entire subject.

Anonymous passes as a bunch of unidentifiable wacko anarchist tricksters.

The debate here is about whether Anonymous could possibly be telling the truth -- or something close to the truth -- and what it would mean if they were.

When you find somebody stating as a fact that Anonymous kept Karl Rove to steal the election -- as I saw someone doing on another thread this morning -- you have every right to smack them down.

But that I see as the core question here -- whether a number of peculiar statements and behavior on the part of the GOP before and during the voting can be seen as the result of a plan to steal the election -- isn't even affected by whether the Anonymous claim is true.

That question does need to be discussed. But what I see going on now is an attempt to head off any such discussion by labeling it conspiracy theory. And I suspect that same attempt would be happening even if the Anonymous letter had never entered into the picture.
