"Unprecedented" - The documentary that proves the 2000 election was stolen
Edited on Mon Nov-24-03 03:51 PM by Q
"Unprecedented" - The documentary that proves the 2000 election was stolen

- Buy or borrow a copy of this movie. It absolutely proves that:

- Gore won

- Republicans and Bush operatives cheated and manipulated the election process

- Bush is an illegitimate president

- Don't move on. Inform yourself instead.


-----------------------------------

Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election is the riveting story about the battle for the Presidency in Florida and the undermining of democracy in America. Filmmakers Richard Ray Pérez and Joan Sekler examine modern America's most controversial political contest: the election of George W. Bush. What emerges is a disturbing picture of an election marred by suspicious irregularities, electoral injustices, and sinister voter purges in a state governed by the winning candidate's brother. George W. Bush stole the presidency of the United States… and got away with it. " …the movie highlights those on the front lines —from the African-Americans who were turned away from the polling booths for assorted reasons. In one memorable scene the filmmakers freeze-frame a 'protest' against the ballot recount, identifying participants as staff members of Republican elected officials." --Elaine Dutka, Los Angeles Times - http://www.unprecedented.org/UnprecedentedFirstPage.html

1. watched it this weekend
some friends and I were talking that since this documentary showed the truth that it would probably "disappear" and not be shown again. Nevertheless, it was very well done.

2. I'm watching it again right now...
- A compliation of facts that add up to the absolute truth that the 2000 election was stolen by the Bushies and the Florida Republican party.

- This film should be shown in history classes.

6. I saw it last weekend
Not since "Eraserhead" have I been so enraged by a movie. I knew the election was stolen (anyone with an IQ over 10 is aware of that) but to see all the mechanics of the theft, one by one, was almost more than I could tolerate.

12. The local public access cable channel has shown this
several times in the past year. It makes me so sick and sad every time I watch it. Rot in hell, * and your evil, thieving, traitorous minions.

Maybe DUers could see about getting this broadcast on their local public access cable channels?

7. not much new information
if you're up on Palast and others but...

still powerful. and for an audience that hasn't heard about the 60,000 'scrubbed' voters and other repuke sleaze... certainly an eye-opener!

8. Actually...it provides information that many Americans know...
Edited on Mon Nov-24-03 03:59 PM by Q
...nothing about.

- When you watch the film...make sure to check out the 'special features'. Therein you'll find more in-depth information on:

The Voter Purge

Media Malfeasance

Response to a Stolen Election

Critical Perspectives

Rise of Corporate Dominance

10. i don't think you read more than my subject line...
???

of COURSE this is new to most Americans.

but there is NOT much new to the better informed DUers who have read Palast, Dershoqitz, Conason, Tapper, etc etc etc etc etc

I STILL recommend seeing it for the visuals and stunning hypocrisy and other outrages that were caught on tape

11. I really did read your whole post...
...but it was misleading in the sense that 'Unprecedented' offers perspectives, interviews and new information that Palast and others haven't covered and can't be seen in the mainstream media.

14. well, i read too much
and spend too much time here.

didn't learn a thing from the movie, but still think it's important to see, esp. for people who think that the FL vote scandal was about those stinking chads...

that was DISTRACTION

the real scandal was the scrubbed lists. and a tiny fraction of americans know that 10s of THOUSANDS were denied their votes.

Gore would have won by 10s of THOUSANDS if they had been ALLOWED to vote.

I'm not 'down' on the movie a bit. but for people who KNOW the story, it is motivational rather than educational, that's all.

9. Vidal: "The rich will do anything to keep their hands on this country"
- In retrospect...America deserves George W Bush* if they won't fight for Democracy.

- What the Bushies and the Republican party did (and will probably do again) was illegal and unConstitutional. Most Americans are either ignorant of this fact or they just don't give a shit.
