Yeah, I remember your thread. The new break in inspired me to make a new one about it.

If the bloggers would report on this more it'd force the mainstream media to pay attention- but perhaps there is too little time left.

The Dan Rather story- forced by bloggers, took a long time to come up front and be confessed. Election day is really close.
 
Let's break this down.

First of all, the AFL-CIO is the ones doing the protests: basically they bring a whole ton of people into campaign offices and make asses of themselves. I don't particularly like this tactic: it's utterly pointless, just gets Repbulicans more fired up, etc. But it's on the public nuisance side of legal, given that campaign offices are open to the public. Someone got their wrist smashed in one such incident, which is entirely the fault of the protestors IMHO. That's precisely WHY such protests are a bad idea: they can always spiral out of control, and get bad press.

Second of all, the theft is serious, but there's no evidence of who did it or why. The news stories try to play it up as some devious sneak attack, but hell, I almost had a laptop stolen right out of a campaign office by a homeless person that walked in and grabbed it. All sorts of crazy stuff happens on campaigns. All the time. You just don't hear about it because theft out of an office is pretty damn common thing.

And in reality, you don't hear very much about a LOT of the crazy stuff that goes on, done by either sides supporters. If there are any large incidents, people try to play it up to make themselves looks like they are being systematically wronged by a vast conspiracy (which is what the recent spate of stories, desperately trying to tie together a bunch of totally unconnected incidents, is all about), but the reality is that neither side can control what some random hick does, and often it is just local nutcases acting on their own. This happens every year: people steal each others lawn signs, leave threatening notes, etc. I don't know about the Republicans because I'm not there, but Democratic campaign offices are vadalized, our building signs stolen and support wires on the building cut and all sorts of stuff. All the freaking time! Sometimes offices have to hire security guards for even more serious things that are done. You don't hear about it on the national news because we don't piss and moan when they do it to us: it's pretty routine.

The only really serious incident I've heard recently are the shots fired into the Republican HQ. But these incidents are a little suspicious. First of all, they happened when the gunman knew there was nobody inside. Second of all, this same Republican booster always seems to be on hand to give a quote blaming Democrats for being evil monsters. And this same guy has a history of being involved in some pretty suspiciously similar incidents where some nasty Democrat runs in, does something bad to him, and disappears, and then he makes it into a big media story (like the one where his daughter's sign was supposedly ripped away) Given that the same things happen to him every year, he's either got remarkably bad luck, or he's staging these events for propaganda purposes. It's pretty far from inconcievable that somebody might do that. Hell, Karl Rove himself was famous for creating nasty attacks and rumors against his OWN CANDIDATE and then blaming the other campaign for "playing dirty" and "going negative." Of course, Rove has done worse things too, like starting whisper campaigns that this or that candidate is a pedophile. Real nice guy.

you know kerry is trying to pull a nixon.
 
Nah, i doubt it. What I do find funny though is that stolen lap tops really piss bush supporters off, yet being lied to and sent to war on false pretenses doesn't seem to matter much.
 
Well, we don't really have a 'conspiracy' theory- the thing on the computer's was for voter registration drives. What that could screw up is the planning for getting people to simply vote (and the same thing hit for the democrats, with the same info)

What's curious is why are campaign HQ's so easily broken into and so frequently targetted?
 
Kerry has nothing to do with plan this, I bet on it.

Radical supporters might, but he's smarter than that.

It's not getting coverage because it's BS. Just reporting this would start stupid speculation like we see here, and that serves no one.
 
Voter registration? You mean when the Republican Party pays people to pretend to register voters and then throw their registration forms in the trash so they can't vote?
http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=2421595&nav=168XRvNe

You're confused: it's the job of Republicans to KEEP people from voting, not to get them to vote. That's what made people so mad at Katherine Harris of Florida, what makes people so mad at Kenneth Blackwell in Ohio, what should scare anyone who lives in an area where right-wing Diebold makes the electronic voting machines that could instantly had one or another candidate the election without anyone being the wiser. That's why Republicans regularly get fined for being involved in election day phone jamming, or handing out flyers to African Americans reminding them to vote on Nov. 3rd.

Thats right. I don't want you to vote.
 
Yeah, obviously this is Kerry's fault because in America it's 'guilty until proven innocent'.

Considering how many people totally hate Bush, The number of suspects must range in the multi-millions.

I don't know what you may or may not want. But if you've ever given money to your party, you've paid for such voter suppression efforts, and your party is overwhlemingly rife with such efforts across the nation.

Yeah, 527s are the way to go instead.

I'm disenchanted with both parties. They are both equally corrupt organizations that should be immediately disbanded.
 
What 527s do isn't illegal. Fooling people into thinking that they've registered to vote while you go and toss their registrations in the trash IS illegal, not to mention abhorrent to democracy. Trying to compare the two as if they were equivalent is outrageous.
