BradBlog: RNC Political Director Cites Report by RNC 'Voting Rights' Front



RNC Political Director Cites Report by RNC 'Voting Rights' Front Group to RNC Email List!

Report from 'American Center for Voting Rights' (ACVR) Used as Political Smokescreen to Deflect from Real 2004 Election Irregularities...

Cynical, Deceptive GOP anti-Election Reform Agenda gets Underway as Baker/Carter Commission Convenes...(And apparently ACVR Knew About it Before Anybody Else! Go Figure!)

Blogged by Brad on 3/30/2005 @ 2:04pm PT...

It'll be little surprise to BRAD BLOG readers who are by now aware of the phony "non-partisan" "voting rights" group recently created by high-level Bush/Cheney/RNC officials, but the coordinated strategy...
It'll be little surprise to BRAD BLOG readers who are by now aware of the phony "non-partisan" "voting rights" group recently created by high-level Bush/Cheney/RNC officials, but the coordinated strategy for smoke-screening what really happened in Election 2004 now seems to be in full swing.

In an Email sent yesterday by the RNC Political Director, Mike DuHaime, members of the huge RNC Email list are pointed to the 31-page hoax report created by the three day old Talon News-like, tax-exempt, self-proclaimed, "voting rights" group, American Center for Voting Rights (ACVR).

-snip-

But perhaps even more sinister, is that the emergence of this group from nowhere seems to have been well-coordinated with the newly announced Baker/Carter Blue-Ribbon Commission convened (by organizations still-unkown) to investigate and report on Election 2004 problems and solutions.

The ACVR, in fact, was the first known group to trumpet the creation of the newly seated Commission, posting a News Release in support of it just hours after the announcement of the Commission's existence hit the news wires.

-snip/more-

1. Bring it on! This is CLASSIC ROVE. Distract and attack.
We should welcome this. Yes, let us talk about election problems.
Please take and run w/ the repug non issue, issue. Say, "By all means
let us study the '04 election."

Rove always attacks @ strength.

Kerry War Hero ..... here comes the swift boats.

F - 9/11 the movie ..... talk about Mike Moore

* is AWOL ...... talk about Dan Rather.

The repugs message sucks ..... manipulate the media and message .... Fox,
Gannon, Armstrong Williams, phony news products.

Conyers Report ........ Fucking "Thor" Hearne comes up w/ phony
election stuff on demos to "muddy the waters." Not this time/.

We can not pass up this chance .... take the fight to "them."

This Rove & Creative response concepts.

2. I think election fraud 2004 is Bushco's "tar baby"
The more they kick and punch it, the more stuck they get.

Another way of putting it: "The best way to kill a bad product is to promote it."

So why don't we help them dig the hole?

6. The ACVR is run out of a post office box and is totally faux, as BradBlog
found.

What a crock!
