EYEWITNESS ALLEGES DEMOCRAT UNION VOTE FRAUD IN WISCONSIN (From Fox News)

[proud2BlibKansan]

This is how desperate Walker's supporters are. Talk about a ridiculous accusation.

On WMAL’s The Chris Plante Show today a Michigan resident by the name of "Mike" called in to discuss how he had infiltrated a Michigan Union's organized bus convoy, en-route to vote in the Wisconsin recall election for Democrats.

The caller claimed that Michigan’s “Democrat Unions” had organized a convoy of 4 buses, filled with Michigan Democrats, with the intention of voting for Tom Barrett in the Wisconsin recall election.

Caller “Mike” describes “Greyhound size buses, filled to capacity” with a good amount of “freebies” available, “They treated me to lunch!”

The caller also points out that the organizers did not tell union riders that it is illegal to vote in Wisconsin if you're from another state.

1. pre-emption... and they'll be the one's trying to steal the election

because pukes have no respect for democracy.

[wingzeroday]

36. I am just gonna

trip off of this lulz for a while...FOX is trying to say that Unions are engaging in fraud but according to their own article:

1. Unions are feeding people.

2. Their guy on the phone is claiming to commit fraud FOR WALKER.



Maybe I am the only one

[Ian David]

2. Since when is a caller to a radio claiming something, actually news?

Are we going to award a Nobel Prize based on callers to Art Bell's show?

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Gives me lots of ideas for calls to radio shows.

[Ian David]

13. Call the guy's show and tell him that Democrats are engaging in Satanic rituals on the bus. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. LOL!!

[Tx4obama]

3. Mitt Romney handed out free sandwiches in WI, complaint was filed, and election board said it was ok

So, if there was free lunch on the bus then nothing will come of it.

[AverageJoe90]

7. Extremist Repubs are hypocrites. 'Nuff said. nt

[notadmblnd]

4. well he should be able to name names and have audio and vidio

Otherwise, he's just talking out of his ass.

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. I searched and can find no reference anywhere to which unions he's talking about.

You'd think he would know THAT.

But this story is spreading over right wing blogs. I went to the source to post it.

[1StrongBlackMan]

29. Sure it does ...

it was the "democrat union." LOL.

[shcrane71]

5. And it starts, remember the paid-for GOPer cronies who made scenes in Florida in 2000?

Deja vu all over again.

[Ian David]

6. And they can keep it quiet, because every single union worker at the Chrysler plant is a Democrat?

That so couldn't happen.

Hey, this is my 66,666'th post!

[Marr]

8. I've heard more amazing things from random callers on Art Bell.

Will Fox be reporting on those as well?

Seriously, the only bit of news here is that Fox still manages to be treated like a legitimate news source when they regularly do this sort of thing.

[HereSince1628]

11. Well, I'll take that seriously...or probably not.

[We Want Peace]

12. pot meet kettle?

I read that Koch brothers were sending buses to Wisconsin...hmmm...anyone have that link?

[boxman15]

14. What a load of shit.

It doesn't surprise me that an idiot would call into a show and allege something like this, but why would Fox News report on it? No other sources? Really? If fraud was actually an issue, wouldn't there be hundreds more union members calling in or letting reporters know or videotaping or something? As Barrett has found out, not all union members are Democrats, ya know.

Fox is a joke of a news organization.

[HooptieWagon]

15. Did he spell "bus" with a backward B?

[Ian David]

16. Nobody asked him what bus line. What's the number of the bus above the driver.

What is the name of the person organizing it?

What is the name of anyone organizing it?

Can you name ANYONE else on the bus with you?

Can you name anyone in the union who works for the Chrysler plant in Michigan?

What kind of soda machines to they have in the break room at the Chrysler plant? Coke or Pepsi or something else?

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. 4 buses would be fairly easy to spot

Pretty much a no brainer.

Republicans are so unimaginative.

[Ian David]

23. He should have said space ships from Planet Xenu that look like DC-9's brought them. n/t

[HooptieWagon]

34. True that.

4 greyhound busses with Michigan plates drive up to a polling place.and a bunch of guys stand in line to register. Right, like.no ones gonna notice. Not to mention, they have to supply an address and proof theyve lived there for 28 days. Very unlikely.

[KharmaTrain]

18. Yeah...Right...

So you have a bus of 100 union dudes...and they pull up at a polling place and all walk in to vote? And the rushpublican precinct judge doesn't notice something strange? Yeah, right.

The rushpublicans are so hard-wired to non-existant voter fraud they have to make it up. As someone upthread says...sounds like a pre-emptive shot incase the results don't swing their way.

[gkhouston]

19. Oh, this is delicious. Why not simply broadcast,

"Koch brothers shit-scared their money's been wasted in Wisconsin"?

[magical thyme]

21. did he describe his fake id?

The one they provided him with that claims he resides in Wisconsin?

Or how he bamboozled the poll people to fake a residence or a listing on their registered voter rolls?

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm in little, rural Maine. We stand in the appropriate line (A-K, L-Z). When it's our turn, we give our name, they look for it in their alphabetized list of registered voters. I usually have to point mine out for them. They cross it off, I walk by, enter a booth and vote.

How the hell do you fake that?

[Scuba]

22. Yeah, I talked to a guy who said the Koch's were sending in buses to vote for Walker...

... tens of thousands of buses. Yeah, they were all gonna impersonate Wisconsin residents and vote for Walker.

And my guy's not Fox News - he's credible!!!

[Initech]

24. I'm calling bullshit - this is just Fox trying to rig an election again.

Like they did in 2000, 2004, and 2010. This is the same Heritage Foundation bullshit tactic they've been using this whole time and they're trying to pin it on us!

And what kind of dumbass calls them "democrat unions?" It's Democratic!!!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. Of course it's bullshit

Mike doesn't even give his last name. LOL

[Robbins]

26. What Is going on

They are getting worried.There Is hugh turnout.Exit polls are already saying union members voting Is bigger than In 2010.

What Is going on Is early spin for the possible loss.That Is what they will claim why they lost.And they will use It for fundrasing.

[1StrongBlackMan]

27. Before I read the comments ...

Let me point out:

4 "greyhound sized buses" = 200 people. Seems like alot of effort, assuming these people actually voted, for so little result.

[proud2BlibKansan]

31. Well duh.

Republicans can't do the math.

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. Well now I can set my watch to FOX time

color me shocked, I tell ya.

[DearAbby]

30. "Hello, Plante?"

This is Mike, calling from Air-Force One. On a secret mission to foul up the recall election, Why? Because I am a dick. no, wait..I am not a dick...no wait...let me check....


ah...I'll get back to you, okay?

[jsmirman]

32. Well I spoke to a voter who actually received the "you don't need to vote" call

talked to her an hour ago.

She was a very real person. A teacher. She was upset to receive such an outrageous phone call - she mentioned that 4 or 5 of her colleagues reported the same thing at work today.

This is real. This happened. I'm a real person and she was a lovely person who didn't deserve to have her vote attacked in that manner.

They are vile scum.

[wingzeroday]

33. lol wth

Fom your article:

"CALLER MIKE:

I'm gonna vote for Scott Walker...

PLANTE:

You're going to Michigan? You're going to Wisconsin from Michigan?

CALLER MIKE:

No, we're going to Wisconsin. We're from Michigan."



LOL

[marmar]

35. The buses were driven by ACORN !!!!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

37. How could Mark leave that out?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

38. Does Faux ever talk about Mitt Romney committing voter fraud

when he voted in Massachusetts claiming his residence in his son's basement while he was actually residing in California? I'm betting his tax returns bear that out.
