Keith is on and he's going to be talking about the new..

[Solitaire]

F word= FRAUD!

:)

[Patsy Stone]

1. should change title to Blackwell will be on n/t

[Stand and Fight]

3. Say Again?

Are you saying that Blackwell is going to be on Countdown?

[Patsy Stone]

4. yes

[Stand and Fight]

11. Hmmm.......

This should prove to be most interesting -- to say the least. What a spin this is going to be.

[Solitaire]

18. I missed him say Blackwell will be on, but he

definitely said the new "F" word is Fraud.

[Patsy Stone]

34. You can edit your own post.

People would probably like to know about Katherine Blackwell.

[Wordie]

20. Yes. Changing the title to show Blackwell to be on a good idea.

I was going to post about Blackwell myself, but changing yours works just as well.

[liberal al zib]

170. Keith Olbermann is the smartest

journalist in history. We should all frame his picture and hang it on a wall in our homes.

[seito]

2. Did they say Blackwell was joining him? n/t

[New Earth]

yes, unfortunately

[Patsy Stone]

5. yes

[ezee]

6. Blackwell will be on

[Clark2008]

89. Not only is Keith the only MSM covering the story

he also knows how to ask some tough questions.
He didn't let Katherine Blackwell weasel out of much.
And, I have no problem with Blackwell being on - that's the REAL definition of "fair and balanced" news. The reporter asks the questions - tough questions of all - and lets the respondent answer instead of yelling over them a la Hannity or telling them to "shut up," a la O'Lielly.

But, he did look awfully sad when he was reporting on Dick Ebersol. See, reporters can really be human and have concern for friends/fellow humans and still act in a professional manner throughout the rest of their show/job/duty.

[Patsy Stone]

103. He is upset.

He didn't even throw the wad of paper at the camera at the end.

[David Dunham]

7. Guys. Bush more actual votes than Kerry. That's the bottom line.

No amount of fraud changed the result of this election.

[Patsy Stone]

8. Thanks!

Fact: Gore, more actual votes than Bush.
Who is in the WH now?

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. Prove it

Good luck.

[texpatriot2004]

10. It's not over! We'll see.

[IAMREALITY]

12. Yup. Nothin to See Here. Move Along Folks

Nothin to see here (bodies laying around all bloodied, burning wreckage spewed across the entire area, firetrucks by the dozens and cop cars everywhere, sirens blaring, people screaming,) Move Along now everybody, nothin to see here. Everything is fine. Just move along now...

[rodeodance]

17. Jessie Jackson to be on-per KO

[flyarm]

61. REPLY TO YEP..NOTHING TO SEE HERE

(See Note 1)

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article. I.
Section 1.
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Clause 3: Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. (See Note 2) The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.

go ahead..goggle it...do you think you can read it???

[IAMREALITY]

88. Flyarm

What in the world are you doing? Did you even read the post? Do you not understand the concept of sarcasm? DON'T EVER REPLY TO A POST OF MINE LIKE THAT AGAIN.

I will consider this an honest mistake and complete misinterpretation on your part. BUT DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

Thank you.

[noclonyofthechimp]

94. I noticed that. Don't think your post was read just misunderstood???

[flyarm]

158. my sincerest apology..i really mean it!!

ohhh my i did totally misunderstand your post , i read it incorrectly !!!!!!!!!..i don't know why either, i thought it was someone being nasty to dems , i totally mis read it and i am ever so sorry!! i sincerely hope you accept my apology! fly

[IAMREALITY]

160. No Problem!

It's all good. I knew you misread. All is forgiven :)

:pals:

[flyarm]

168. no kidding i feel really bad@@@

i don't know how i read that so wrong, but i sure did!!!!!!!!!!
again my apologies!! guess i am so used to posting and getting my brains beat in..i just react to dispell attacks ..and i just simply did not read this right!!..my humble apology!!!!!!!!!!!!fly

[intheflow]

171. You have now completed the DU gauntlet.

You have done well, Grasshopper. Welcome, Newbie.

:pals: :hug:

[liberal al zib]

163. Take it easy tough boy or girl

[intheflow]

98. flyarm

This was rude. Poster was obviously being sarcastic. You'll be put on ignore lists if you keep posting flamers like this. No one will want to play with you. And what fun would that be?

[jamboi]

146. That was a wack response, flyarm. But I enjoyed reading the constituition

again. Thanks for that part of it. The original poster was obviously being sarcastic, so you're all on the same side of the question. No need for fighting.

[99Pancakes]

156. Are you in the correct Party?

Maybe I should ask:
Are you in the Right Party?

[bobbieinok]

14. lots of info at DU that W vote padded to 'win' pop vote

[Stand and Fight]

15. Six words for you.

Prove it beyond a REASONABLE doubt.

[Twist_U_Up]

21. ???

where have you been?

or are you saying that he cheated just a little ?

[dzika]

23. No Amount of Fraud Should be Accepted

That's the bottom line.

[Straight Shooter]

28. "no amount of fraud changed the result of this election"

Oh, my, the things we can be led to believe when we don't want to see what lies dead at our feet. I prefer to poke at democracy with a sharp stick, see if it will make an effort to stand up for itself.

I suppose apartheid doesn't count as fraud, dirty tricks don't count as fraud. :eyes:

Tainted election. GWB and Rove, the pickpockets in the voting booth.

[bettyellen]

33. We know but any amount of fraud/ +/or suppression must stop!

[Karenca]

45. No he didnt---Bush's votes were padded.

End of Story.

[darthdemocrat]

102. Guy. It's about the electoral college, not the popular vote. -eom-

[carolinalady]

142. Yeah it was all about the electoral college----Fix the vote-win the

college but then MOST OFFENSIVELY--fix the popular vote and discourage a repeat of 2000 cause we (Repubs) ain't so sure we can win in the courts this time!

[darthdemocrat]

176. Agreed... lest he go down as King George the Litigious -eom-

[LiberalAndProud]

116. Is this your opinion, or just repeating the line? How do we KNOW

if the result would change? It is a question of confidence in the system. I have none. I had none in 2000, but I thought it would have been fixed by now. In 2000, I truly thought we were dealing with ignorance, not intent. Now I am not at all sure.

[The Backlash Cometh]

143. I think you're missing a verb. Let me help you out:

"Guys, Bush <stole> more actual votes than Kerry <got>."

That's better.

[jamboi]

144. Actually that total vote number is questionable now too. How much fraud R

we dealing with? Maybe enough to not only shift the all important Ohio to Bush, but the popular vote too. We don't know and more than a few of us are wondering about fraud nationwide now. Also in the U.S. since we live by the constitution we don't go off the popular vote, we go with the electoral college which means that enough fraud to flip Ohio is enough to flip the national election. So its quite possible we may elect President Kerry. We don't know yet and won't know at least until Jan. 6th. That is if we stick to the constitution and don't go all the way towards Banana Republicizing the U.S.

[johnaries]

155. Ummm, don't think so! Isn't that what we're trying to find out?

Maybe he did, but maybe he didn't. We don't know right now, and I would like to know. THAT'S what this is all about!

[Patsy Stone]

13. His voice is trembling.

He's really upset. Sorry, Keith!

[Stand and Fight]

19. Patsy... Update us.

I live in a stupid town in Oklahoma and the cable company refuses to carry MSNBC because it is too liberal. So, I can't watch the show. What's being said? I don't want to have to wait until our boy Keith O. posts. Thanks so much.

;)

[Patsy Stone]

25. He did a story on Ebersol

They are friends, and he was really upset. In the middle of the report he must have received news that they found the body of Ebersol's second son. Also, there's a story on OLB's henchmen Zawahiri.

[Clark2008]

145. I saw that and it nearly made me cry

because my healthy, happy little boy was climbing on me at the time.

Man... I can't imagine. I just can't imagine.

[liberal al zib]

167. You should move to a blue state.

[Ducks In A Row]

26. why is his voice trembling, what's he saying?

[Stand and Fight]

30. Ebersol

Word has it that Keith Olbermann was his protegé; that is, Ebersol was his mentor. So, they were probably pretty close, and word just came out that his son was likely killed. (Ebersol's 14yr old son, that is. Sad.)

[jdj]

32. damn, did Bushco go after Ebersol to get to Olberman>?

I know it's oily-tinfoily, but with small planes falling out of the sky like rain lately, nothing would surprise me...

[Patsy Stone]

35. Tinfoil interferes with my computer montor.

:)

[Hobbes199]

36. That's very convenient

Coming from someone who apparently got rid of post #34...

;-p

edit>> darnit, #34 posted to quick, oh well.

[righteous1]

38. LOL Yea mine too

[Shopaholic]

70. Go read Keith's blog entry today on Ebersol--he used most of it

tonight to pay tribute to Dick Ebersol on-air. Also, as they came on the air the late breaking news was that they had indeed found the body of Dick Ebersol's 14-year old son in the wreckage--that had to be tough to deliver that news live on the air when someone was your friend.

[noclonyofthechimp]

81. He let this puke ramble way to long, but maybe so he wouldn't be accused

of being "partisan" on the subject.

[intheflow]

101. Self-deleted.

answered my own question.

[Hobbes199]

16. Don't get to see it until I get home...

Please let us know if he let's KHB off the mat or not.

[rodeodance]

22. "why is the news pushing all the bad news" --per Scarbourough tonight

while waiting for JJ--heard this

[liam97]

24. Should Kerry/Edwards really have the luxury to

just decide they don't want to entangle themselves in this mess? I am not at all into Kerry-bashing, but a very large number of voters worked to get him into the WH. Just because the process in messy can he just choose to abandon the political process? It is not about him, it is the American voters right that is in question. People should be putrting a lot of pressure on him - there should be a peaceful sit-in in front of his house or DNC office.

[Stand and Fight]

27. Yeppers.

Seems like he's not that concerned about those of us who supported him through all this. I don't know anymore....

[Ducks In A Row]

29. people gave money to cover recount costs, they should be allowed

to get that money back, at the least

[liam97]

31. But why don't we bombard the DNC fax maxhine

with faxes which voice people's grievances

[proudtobeadem]

39. Does anyone wonder about the timing of Zawahiri's tape release?

Funny how when the Sh*t's about to hit the fan it comes out?

[Broken Acorn]

41. Bingo

Raise the terror alert...funny how this is an old tape.

[proudtobeadem]

42. Exactamundo my friend!!

[Patsy Stone]

43. They have a pile of 'em...

it alternates between the tape and the traffic light colors. Speaking of which...it has been awhile...

[proudtobeadem]

47. Yea, "what color are you in the mood for today " Oh I think a nice yellow

will do, will go with my tie"

[Patsy Stone]

137. We're never gonna be blue/green y'know... n/t

[noclonyofthechimp]

91. I posted something about this earlier. The tape is old and probably

cut like the other one. The Washington Post released the whole video AFTER the election. The GOP is using fear mongering again because maybe one of the many reasons to impeach this chimp is going to come out!

[Patsy Stone]

37. Now we've moved on to Oddball

He did say "internets" though. :)

[Patsy Stone]

40. I think it's on after the upcoming break n/t

[rodeodance]

57. JJ says that a different outcome is highly unlikely

[Stand and Fight]

44. Sho do luv dem internets.....

What a flipping moron the Bush is!! Good grief. I used to believe we'd elected Charlie Brown as president until Charlie wrote me a strongly worded letter and demanded an apology....

}(

[Patsy Stone]

46. Don't dis Charlie Brown like that :( n/t

[Patsy Stone]

Said Jesse said fraud.
Clip of Jesse...winning and losing, fraud and stealing.

[Patsy Stone]

56. Mentioned Kerry support

64. What a dick.

[Patsy Stone]

65. OH MY GOD SUCH SHIT!!!

Blah, Blah, Blah.

Doing 10 minutes on why it takes fron 11/2-12/6 to certify.

[Stand and Fight]

68. And the spin begins n/t

[Stand and Fight]

49. I know.

I sent him a formal apology and a brand new football to kick around with Bush's picture pasted on it...

:crazy:

[Hobbes199]

52. Yeah, but most likely Rovy would be yanking that sucker away

as soon as Chuck gets close enough.

[Stand and Fight]

58. Actually...

I just had a thought and Rove's chunkiness kinda reminds me of ol' Charlie Brown... Dammit. I'm sure I'll get another strongly worded letter from Charlie now... Damn. Oh well, to hell with 'em.

:evilgrin:

[Karenca]

51. Chauncy Gardiner

from the movie 'Being There".

That is Pres. George W. Brainless.

[Patsy Stone]

135. No!

That was genius. * is stupid.

[bunny planet]

149. No Karenca is right. Chauncy was a very simple minded fellow, but others

misinterpreted his affableness and simple phrases as genius. They didn't recognize that he was just a dimwit. That is the point. This is what some red staters attribute to Bush. His simplicity,(stupidity) and his outward folksiness is interpreted as honesty and forthrightness.

:puke: :crazy: :silly:

[Patsy Stone]

152. No it's more than that...

and much more sinister than Chance G. Chance did not have a mean-spirited bone in his body.

This is more than one guy, we need a big group hiding the identity of its real leader, like the computer in Logan's Run, or The Leader from Sleeper to complete this analogy.

When I heard Dennis Miller say the reason he likes Bush is that he's "plain spoken," I almost fell off my chair. I thought, "It must be something in the air...the man who was told to get off MNF because no one in Alabama could understand what the hell he was talking about, appreciates *'s plain spoken-ness." Twilight Zone.

People are scared and his cabal is feeding and causing the fear. It doesn't matter if you're famous like Miller and that twit Ron Silver. His group of stormtroopers only tells you what to fear, who is to blame, and who will keep you safe from those wolves.

Evil is afoot...

[bunny planet]

157. Absolutely, Chauncy was harmless. Bush and his cohorts are evil.

The only similarity between CG and Bush is in people's misinterpretation of their true abilities and attributing qualities to each that they do not possess. I personally think we'd be better off with Chauncy as President, don't you?

Chauncy says 'I like to watch.' B**h would say 'I like to watch people die.':o

[Patsy Stone]

161. LOL

:) OK, that's f'n funny! Sad, but true and funny, cuz it's true.
Oy, we're screwed.

[rodeodance]

50. Fraud openly used for the first time today --KO says (?but who)

we have to wait till Urkranine fraud case is over.
I love those protesters in the Ukranine!!

[Solitaire]

121. I am still wondering, why people are not in Ohio..

protesting.

I think if there were thousands of people there crying "fraud" something would be done, and be done quickly.

Just my two cents.

[rodeodance]

53. Greens asked for recount in NMex and ?? where else?

[Hobbes199]

54. NM and NV

[rodeodance]

62. thanks. Blackwell is a dope!!--belittleing a recount!! complaining of $$

to the taxpayers (1.5 million give or take a few buckos).
Says the Greens are entitled to a recount---1956 law set the bill at 10 dollars --says this is outdate. complain, complain!!

Really is laying it on JJ!! --stiring up a hornets nest--Blackwell says of JJ!!
says his office is NOT taking any steps to stop a recount.
Blackwell seems real ticked off!!

[Stand and Fight]

66. Yeah...

Lil' shits like him are always ticked off when they are caught red handed.

[eaprez]

67. I don't understand his use of Franklin Country Columbus Ohio.....

...as an example of fairness...Kerry won Franklin County

[Hobbes199]

69. Maybe that's the bone they threw us, after rigging all the rest...

[Stand and Fight]

72. Exactly

That is his point. He won it despite the massive election day fraud.

:evilgrin:

[rodeodance]

71. Blackwell says they delivered a fair and free election.

Honary c0-chair of Bush-Cheney reelection committee. JJ had brounght this up in his talk. Keith asked him about this--but Blackwell not answering the question!!

[rodeodance]

75. "JJ does not have enough courage to run for dogcatcher" (says Black

well!!

Blackwell obviously has a bee in his bonnet about JJ coming to OHIO! te he te he

[Hobbes199]

78. Kick.

[Straight Shooter]

86. Bullcrap. Didn't Jesse once give the presidency a shot?

Too many years ago, but I think he proffered himself as a candidate.

Blackwell has no sense of history.

[Liberalynn]

107. Do

Rethuglicans' ever know anything about history ever? I mean other than what their mammy reads um from them that there Bible? And even then they can't get that straight.

[jsascj]

130. Guess they missed the commandment which states

Thou shalt not steal!

[Stand and Fight]

76. Damn Rethugs...

Of course he won't answer the question. It's a tough and direct question.

[WMoses]

79. Blackwell...

...had complete control of that interview.

No hard questions were asked of him - missed opportunity.

[MelissaB]

84. I agree!

Somebody needs to hold his (Blackwell's) feet to the fire, but this seems to be Keith's style of interviewing.

[Rose Siding]

95. KO just learned that his friend and mentor's son is dead

Would you be at your snappiest under such conditions?

[bunny planet]

150. That's right. Just what I was thinking while watching it.

KO's heart just wasn't in it tonight when he needed to hammer Blackwell a little harder. I mean he had just heard on air it seemed that his friend and colleague's son was dead, his voice was shaky when he relayed that news just a bit earlier. So it's understandable that he didn't go after Blackwell the same way he might have done had this tragedy not happened. KO's style seems to be more sarcastic than pure aggression though and he did try to pin some stuff on Blackwell. Sleazy people like Blackwell don't come across well no matter how much they smile into the camera. He revealed more about himself than the questions asked of him indicated, at least I thought so. It's obvious he's ticked at JJ, and he did admit, however begrudgingly that the recount will go forward. I bet he'll wish he hadn't said that. All in all, I thought just getting the F word said on national TV by a national figure, and JJ is a national figure, was important. Great news about recounts possible in NM and Nevada.

We should write to KO and thank him again, as I do every night. It was particularly difficult from a human perspective to go on with tonight's show. Let's thank him.

[Straight Shooter]

80. Did Blackwell bellyache about bush's dog & pony show on USS Lincoln?

I'm sure he didn't, and that campaign photo-op gone belly-up was a waste of over a million dollars of taxpayer money.

Blackwell needs to get over himself.

[Patsy Stone]

82. Jesse "running around the block to lead the parade"

wasn't it?

Just wants to count those votes, damn him! And it's so expensive!

[rodeodance]

96. Blackwell wants to get OHio taxpayeres upset about the cost of the

recount--and no dounbt many will be!!

[darthdemocrat]

114. Let him tell Ohio taxpayers $ was wasted on crap voting machinery -eom-

[Straight Shooter]

141. Bwahahahaha! $$$ on crap voting machinery

Best. Comeback. Ever.

[darthdemocrat]

106. Outdated, eh?

He sure didn't care about the old Byzantine rules for the election when it came to the weight of the paper on registration forms, did he?

[rodeodance]

115. good one!!

[life_long_dem]

127. The real cost is about 12 cents per resident.

If you only count registered voters it's about 18 cents per person.

[Chimpanzee]

162. Way to go Jesse - stir up a hornets nest!! yahooooooooo

[jdj]

174. But are they tagging him as Bush/Cheney relection head for OH?

that is the most important fact, people need to hear this and know about the conflict of interest.

[Stand and Fight]

59. Go to:

[rodeodance]

100. I tried several times--but kept getting an error message.

but thanks

[demo dutch]

73. Blackwell seems desperate!

The guy is a crook!

[Stand and Fight]

83. Anyone ever hear of effigy?

We should hang this fucker and all the Bushies in effigy! Just like they did during the our American Revolutionary War. Hell, if we could get our hands on 'em I'd say TAR AND FEATHER!

[kk897]

173. Blackwell effigy

I'm quite sure you wouldn't have meant it this way, but I'd like to point out that hanging a Black man in effigy---even if it is Blackwell---would be horribly culturally insensitive, I think. I mean, you know, lynching and all that?

Maybe not such a good idea, but I appreciate and share your anger and frustration (especially since I'm an Ohioan).

[zann725]

132. Despite all his bravado, Blackwell DID seem defensive & nervous!

Keep him sweatin'!:kick:

[latteromden]

74. Mmhmm

*snort* Blackwell, as his voice cracks and he stumbles, that he did not meet with Bush on election day. We're sure.

[RFSea]

77. Shoot the Messenger

Katherine Blackwell is doing his best to shoot ALL recount messengers

He is proud of his election system that leaves folks in line for over six hours, in some cases...

He is obfuscating bi-partisanship over his obvious conflict of interest being Rash on Heiney '04 chairman, and Ohio SOS -- He takes a few more shots at Jesse Jackson stating he couldn't get elected to dogcatcher in his state

What an arrogant turd, albeit expected given his political affiliation

[Stand and Fight]

87. Yeah, enough of Blackwell...

What is the good Reverend Jesse Jackson saying?

[rodeodance]

90. Blackwell took a lot of shots at JJ!! ---sad--but this is taking a page

from the Rove/bush campaign--demean the messenger

[proudtobeadem]

93. That's because he has something to hide

[rodeodance]

97. maybe the fact that he was honorary co-chaiman of the bush /cheney

campaign?

[bleever]

85. Recap: "Keef, Jesse Jackson's a stupidhead, and

this was the best election ever, Keef."

[Patsy Stone]

110. Keef! Keef!

I kept looking for his bunny teeth...

[life_long_dem]

136. Keef, axe me anyfing. I ain't not gonna lie. JJ aint my homey.

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
He is a lying thug and I am a little upset.

[IAMREALITY]

138. I posted this on the other thread, but probably better here

As far as what Katherine Blackwell said it was just Blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah.. You know, same old stupid everything was perfect rhetoric.

I don't care about that though, it was what was expected. What I dooooo care about though, is HOLY SHIT are we getting to this guy! I was laughin my ass off so much! He was so transparent. Trying so hard to seem in control but he simply just wasn't. He would keep sayin Listen Keef, Ok Keef, Keef listen LOL then he would smile the fakest smile you've ever seen! (ya know kinda like bushies in the debates!) You could tell this guy is flustered and nervous. He was attacking Jackson so bad like he hurt his feelings or something. I don't know, it just cracked me the hell up. I'm tellin you guys, he is friggin starting to crack. Too fuckin funny

[Patsy Stone]

140. He almost took his dolls and went home.

He was so mad at Jesse. For having the nerve to come to Ohio and make all this mess in his neat little plan. Damn those Democrats who want to spend so much of YOUR MONEY counting those votes that we've taken so much time to cook for Our Leader.

Aaargh...

Poor Keef was very upset and I think he had so much more on his mind than us. And rightly so.

[kk897]

175. oh to have been a fly on the wall

backstage at Countdown!

[bleever]

147. And Hannity's been ordered to get out the smear gun, too.

This is going pretty well, I think.

[ValleyGirl]

154. It's always a good sign

when the Coulters,Hannities, Limbaughs and their cult start stirring from their caves/coffins/underneath rocks to snarl & snipe at the good guys.

[Patsy Stone]

164. Think we poked at the fat lion

with the stick long enough, eh?

I wanted to start a pool on when the machine would start whirring noisily. I guess JJ did it.

[ValleyGirl]

151. omg LMAO! n/t

:)

[Truthbeknown]

92. Keith should have mentioned the e-voting

No paper trail problem,also the long lines and few machines in the high dem areas

[proudtobeadem]

99. Maybe he's saving it for next time?

[politicasista]

104. Unfortunately Bush cheats his way back into office...

He always gets his way. This is such a joke. Let the Kerry bashing of not fighting hard continue. :cry:

[rodeodance]

105. Fox tv is talking abou JJ right now!!

[Stand and Fight]

111. Yeah

And they've got Lawrence Guyot, Civil Rights Activist, and some Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson... A fucking sell-out if ever there was one.

[rodeodance]

120. Hannity is Bush's lapdog----a stupid one at that!!

[rodeodance]

113. Jesse Lee Peterson on Hannity--

is on Fox right now.
www bondinfo.com
Saying that whenever the Dems lose--they blame the Reps.
Peterson is demeaning Jessie Jackson for getting involved (similar to what Blackwell was saying on Countdown a few moments ago.
Both quests are black.
Guyot---civil right activist-- is talking aslo (the other quest).

[noclonyofthechimp]

108. exactly. He let him just "run a muck" he must have had a reason, but

he obviously is very upset over the plain crash of his former boss and close friend

[bunny planet]

153. I wish he'd asked Blackwell about the provisional ballot ruling that came

through against the people of Ohio at the 11th hour. Remember provisional ballots were supposed to be counted afterwards, no matter which precinct they had been filled out in, if election officials were able to find that a voter had registered somewhere in the state. I think Ohio's ruling on provisional ballots (Blackwell's nefarious work) was different than in all other states in that it required provisional ballots to be thrown out and discounted, even if the voter's registration was found, if the voter had voted in a precinct that did not match the one they resided in. I thought that was the whole purpose of HAVA adding provisional ballots, to accomodate those that had valid registrations but were for some reason attempting to vote in the wrong precinct. If they were found later, when the provisionals were being counted, not to have been legally registered, then the PV could be tossed. Blackwell was allowed to toss the provisional ballots cast in the wrong precincts even if a valid registration in the state was found for the voter. This was achieved with a last minute sleazoid ruling. If this is a different way of handling PV than the rest of the states, doesn't that make it illegal, since HAVA is a federal law? Is it just me, or is this a glaring irregularity in Ohio?

[Stand and Fight]

109. Truly...

This really is beginning to seem hopeless.

[bklyncowgirl]

112. Blackwell came off like an arrogant angry jerk.

Said Democrats ran elections in some counties. Well golly gee. Maybe Democrats can be crooks too.

[Shopaholic]

119. I will say that by letting him rattle on and on he looked somehow

less credible perhaps than if KO had been going in for the kill with this idiot--maybe that was his strategy, perhaps??

[bklyncowgirl]

131. I agree. With almost no pressure from Kieth he was squealing like a pig.

Jesse hit a nerve. Blackwell was pissed, agitated and nervous.

A nice little political pig sticking on the Reverend Js part. The good part about pig sticking is you know you you got a hit when the piggy squeals.

[intheflow]

118. No mention of Warren County lockdown on election night?

That the FBI denies it ever contacted Blackwell about elevated terror alerts?

[rodeodance]

122. not that I recall

[rodeodance]

125. btw--anything new about the Warren cty lockdown??

[JennC]

123. I had been sooooo hopeful he would have to explain that.

[Stand and Fight]

126. No,

The FBI denies having ever contacted Warren County elections officials.

[intheflow]

134. That's what I said.

And--DAMN! You keep posting at this rate and you're going to catch up with me tonight! LOL

[henslee]

124. Keith used the word "internets" on the Harvard/Yale story! No doubt

a defiant nod to his fans.

[rodeodance]

129. sweet

[henslee]

128. The more B-well gets to talk, the better. Let him go on record about

whatever he wants to ramble about. More to pick apart. He did vow that there would be a recount. He also took quite a nasty snipe at Jackson -- the dogcatcher remark.

Wish Keith would have stuck up a little for Cobb/Bad. Maybe said something like "don't you think they are to be commended for pushing for the verification of U.S. voting apparatus?"

[Solitaire]

139. I think Keith did a good job, in spite

of his personal sad news.

I think he came off very even-handed.

You know, live to fight another day. Let's see what the next day brings.

:")

[henslee]

148. Totally Forgot Ebersole Also, something Keith did that was powerful

was segway from the Ukraine election fraud right to Ohio. It was effective.

Again, I could not get over how B-well really demeaned the "clergy" vocation.

[Patsy Stone]

133. Questions he should ask next time

I'm sure that he was not on form. He was upset and I think we all need to chill a bit on KO.

1) Missed asking him how a recount could take place in 7 days, and if it matters to him that he'll probably miss the safe harbor.
2) Missed asking him about Warren County, Ohio
3) Missed asking him about the counties that were suing to prevent the recount.
4) Missed asking him about the 80lb. paper incident.

If you're reading this, Keith, thanks for your good works. I'm sorry about your friend.

[Karenca]

159. We should all write Keith and Thank him. .Here's his email:

[liberal al zib]

165. Keith Olbermann for President

[jagsd01]

169. Ohio Recount--more media attention

The Note, ABCs political email clipping service I get each AM, mentioned the Ohio recount and noted" we'll let you know when it is time to tune in".....

[intheflow]

172. Hi, jagsd01.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

Do you have a link to sign up for this news service? Would you please cut and paste the whole clip you received? If you do, I'll post it in a new thread for you since you can't post yourself yet. I think this is important for DUers to know.
