Another outrageous outrage

Talk about pressing all the right triggers

They’re at it again, folks. The wingnuts are indulging in major agitprop.

According to The National Review, Free Republic, The Hill and other sources of wing nut ‘facts’, the NAACP and the ACLU have asked the UN for election monitors.

Their source? Another wingnut site called True The Vote which participates with enthusiasm in the circle jerk that comprises the wing nut blogosphere.

I must admit this is very clever of them. Three major wingnut triggers in a single piece of propaganda shows that these people may be insane and evil, but they are not stupid.

Well, I'm outraged... Not.

I was just checking this out over on FR and came up with the following logic fail:

"Early Cheating has already begun, in '08 went to vote early against the Kenyan in LA county CA

I was dismayed to see a line hundreds of people long 98% blacks, at least a dozen busses in the parking lot , county sherriffs for crowd control, no shortage of Obama T-shirts, The line was at least 4 hours long so I just left, came back a few days later to the same scene, evidently it is an everyday voter cheating festival"

Never mind the switch from '08 to the present as 'proof' of current cheating, the stupid racism, or that the poster offers no evidence whatsoever that these folks aren't registered, and has no problem with early voting since he or she was there to vote early.
Let's look instead at where this is happening-Los Angeles County, CA. Romney has approximately a 0% chance of winning CA and Dems are wasting their time and effort by bussing a bunch of supporters to the polls for early voting? Why? Haven't they noticed that Florida and Ohio are much tighter races?

re: #2 calochortus

I'd like to see an example of line that is 98% white people and 4 hours long. I guess black people are supposed to feel lucky just to be able to vote at all.

re: #4 philosophus invidius

Probably so.

Funny thing, despite the sheriff's deputies being there for "crowd control", when I Google "polling place riots" I get stuff like this. Other stories date to 1900 (Denver), around 1930 (Pittsburg), and of course all the speculation about black riots in 2012. I suspect the deputies' presence may not have been because they expected trouble from the people in line...

Indeed because they suspect creeps like the above quoted Freeper to be packing heat so he can act out a vigilante fantasy of keeping "the blacks" from getting any ideas about rioting, et al..

Not really surprising that the people complaining (True The Vote) about having international observers at polling stations are the same ones training people to harass prospective voters at the polls with non-existent photo ID and address verification requirements.

Holder: We’ve Droned 4 Americans, 3 by Accident.
In an extraordinary admission, Attorney General Eric Holder has told Congress that U.S. drone strikes since 2009 have killed four Americans -- three of whom were "not specifically targeted." For all the effort that the Obama administration has gone to in asserting that its drones only kill the people that the administration intends to kill, Holder wrote in a letter today to Sen. ...

Virginia Republicans Aren’t Flocking to Anti-Gay Lieutenant Governor Hopeful
WASHINGTON -- The Republican candidate for Virginia's Lieutenant Governor, Rev. E.W. Jackson, is getting a decidedly cool response from his state's Republican establishment in Washington, who weren't eager to associate themselves with the conservative firebrand's history of anti-gay and anti-abortion statements. Republicans have largely, and happily, lined up behind Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the GOP's candidate for governor. But Jackson's surprise win at ...

Fisheries Could Be in Hot Water Due to Climate Change
As our planet warms from excess carbon in the atmosphere, some of that heat is absorbed by the ocean. Fish and invertebrates are responding to warming waters by moving to higher latitudes or deeper waters where the water is cooler, and it was expected that these shifts would eventually affect availability of some commercially harvested species. "Eventually" may be now. Ocean warming has ...
