Anonymous vs Karl Rove

[rstrong]

Here's a couple very interesting stories:

The first is about Anonymous's accusation that Karl Rove unsuccessfully tried to rig the election in 2012, and successfully rigged it in 2004 (in Ohio, not Florida.)

Anonymous, Karl Rove and 2012 Election Fix?

While not at all conclusive, the second story explains why it needs to be taken seriously.

Why Anonymous’ Claims about Election-Rigging Can’t Be Ignored

Interesting, rstrong. I suppose such might explain the meltdown Rove had when Ohio was called for President Obama on election night ...

Interesting stories.....if proven true, it's bad news for our entire system and the GOP in particular. If only true by bits and pieces, it's still a fine conspiracy theory that I feel sure the wingnuts would seize on and mercilessly make accusations and exhibit faux outrage over should the roles be reversed.

If true, the wingnuts will be saluting the Republican party for its patriotic efforts.

Conspiracies can be real or imagined. It's the imaginary wingnut conspiracy theories based on no evidence whatsoever that generate the derision from the liberals.

The following are imagined wingnut tin-foil-hat conspiracies:

1. ACORN fraudulently registered voters. False. There's not a single case of ACORN fraudulently registering a voter.

2. Obama wasn't born in Hawaii. False. He has -- not one, but -- two certified birth certificates from the state of Hawaii, the authenticity of which was vouched for by the Republican governor and the Republican head of the health department.

What those two imagined wingnut tin-foil-hat conspiracies have in common is not one shred of evidence that supports them.

And the more false "proof" that gets shot down, the more desperately the wingnuts cling to their delusional conspiracy theories.

Still waiting on proof that Clapper changed his story.

See what I mean? Who here says they believe such a theory? Gullible must be the default for you.....

hardly anyone mentions that reagan (more likely daddy bush) negotiated with the terrorists before taking office - while still citizens -

and gain no one mentions that the records to these crimes were supposed to be made public a few years ago but lil bush's 1st order of business after his appointment to the office of president was to have daddy's records sealed forever
