Stolen stuff

Had to laugh about the civil rights march in Atlanta Saturday. The moonbats (I like that word, wonder who coined the term?) had some of their best out:

Judge Greg Mathis: "They (meaning Bush, et. al.) all need to be locked up because they are all criminals and they are all thieves." And you face a lot of those on your TV show. I'll give him props for actually having been a judge in Detroit, but I think this lefty culture thing and hanging out with Jesse and "San Fran Nan" Pelosi has really gotten to him.

Harry Belafonte, entertainer, called black conservatives "black tyrants." Obviously, racial preference stops when it's against the liberal orthodoxy.

My favorite, from Rep. Barbara Lee (also known as the only House member voting against fighting back after 9-11:) "The last two elections were stolen. They were stolen and so we will not rest until we reclaim our democracy and this is what today is all about."

And you know what? She's absolutely right!

Yes, the 2004 race for governor in the state of Washington (Rossi vs. Gregoire) was stolen by "found" votes after the fact in heavily Democrat King County.

And the 2000 Missouri Senate vote (Carnahan vs. Ashcroft) was stolen when polls in St. Louis were ordered held open for extra time in that heavily Democrat city. Thus, a dead man won a Senate seat (Carnahan and his son were among those killed in an October plane crash.)

So, those last two elections were stolen. Now I think she's incorrectly referring to Bush vs. Gore (no Florida recount, even those press-sponsored, went for Gore; and the Constitution provides that electors, not voters, elect the President) and Bush vs. Kerry (because of rigged exit polling.)

But we know how those turned out. And no word from her about New Jersey illegally substituting Frank Lautenberg for Bob Torricelli when the scandal-ridden Torricelli was tanking in the polls. Guess that was ok since it was after the primary election.

Anyway, nothing like a civil rights meeting for having a pot call the kettle black. Bet none of those elected officials there have ever gotten under 70% of the vote in the districts they call home, and it's all because of "us vs. them" rhetoric like this rather than a tangible result of doing positive things for their respective districts.
