Fight Fire with Fire - The FRAUD FLOAT
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Tue Dec-07-04 11:10 PM by mikelewis
In the weeks before the election Glenn Beck told his listeners to instruct the "dumb" democrats that voting for John Kerry was to be held on Wednesday. I distinctly remember hearing him say this several times during many of his shows. People would call in asking if it were legal and he would say things like, "well, technically, no." Um sorry dick head, technically yes. I guess Clear Channel does have high ethical standards. They have a professed alcoholic Glenn Beck and a confessed drug user Rush Limbaugh as their premiere spokesmen for ethics.

Now, I read this excerpt from commoncause.org
http://www.commoncause.org/atf/cf/{FB3C17E2-CDD1-4DF6-92BE-BD4429893665}/REPORT_TO_NATION2.PDF

“Hi, I’m calling about things that were going out in
people’s mailboxes saying that Democrats were to
vote tomorrow and Republicans were to vote today
and not all the news media is telling people the
correct things that these things are going around and
are incorrect. I just wanted to know why that wasn’t
in the news – that people were sending these things
out. On all the news media channels.” – Voter in
Franklin County, Ohio


He even had a campaign to construct a John Kerry waffle-head float that would ride around Franklin county delivering this message.

Also in Franklin County - the infamous "Project Longface"

This is a campaign inspired and commisioned by Mr. Beck to intimidate the voters of Columbus. It even states this on his site.

"John sent in this picture of Stu intimidating voters in Columbus, Ohio."

"We had rain, we had Stu, we had angry Kerry supporters, we had a car accident - but nothing could deter us from our goal of disenfranchising as many voters as we could. And we succeeded!"

"We emerged from the bunker at 7:30am, spreading our message of disenfranchisement, indecision, and UN love to the Columbus rush-hour crowd. I think I shed a tear when we finally hit the streets. Our Waffle-head, this painful labor of love, was finally spreading its wings and soaring into the consciousness of voters everywhere."


Now, I think fair is fair. Can we construct a 700 foot tall Fraud Float and sail it through the streets of Cleveland?

I'm very serious about this. Imagine the media attention it would get. I bet you'd get the MSM freaking out.

Sincerely,
Michael Lewis
