In reply to the discussion: Excuse Me... But In Many Ways... This ENTIRE SITE Was Founded Over A STOLEN ELECTION [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)For most people this was a minor, though fun, attack on Rove, something I personally have zero problem with. When ever Anonymous has evidence of their activities they have produced it.
This would have disappeared from the internet though if it wasn't for the out of proportion outrage including by the likes of Kos, whose policies on his so-called 'liberal' blog from way back were to instantly ban anyone who even mentioned election fraud. Thousands of people were banned from that blog as a result, thousands more left in disgust.
He is an election fraud denier, always was, and the question is what is he trying to protect? He has never explained his reasons for attempting to silence any discussion of election fraud.
So you are incorrect to say there is no effort to silence people. Kos is attempting to do so as he always has.
Thankfully election fraud deniers like Kos were ignored by those who care enough about this democracy that they never gave up working to prevent it. And it is mostly due to their efforts that all the attempts to prevent people from voting during the last several elections, that stealing elections has become far more difficult, not that they haven't tried as we know.
People like kos are an impediment to getting something done about our electoral system, where each election we have to go to extraordinary means to ensure that our elections are NOT tampered with.
That is ridiculous in a democracy, that people have to fight off fraud and voter suppression to be able to exercise that most basic right.
So seeing Kos weigh in once again, attempting once again, to silence people, raised the question 'why is this minor, amusing side show becoming such a huge issue to some people'? And that remains the question.
But if Anon's intention was to make election fraud and Rove an issue, had it not been for the likes of Kos et al, they would have failed. So I guess we should thank them for their desperate attempts to make it go away which only resulted in keeping it alive.
Kos never was very good at this, though, so no surprise there.
