Dan Ahouse runs the show for Hinchey down in D.C. Please help the BIG MO take on Kkkarl and the Orwellian right wing press. Please vote in this online poll. Dan's email message is below.
Thank YOU, DU!

Friends:

As you may know, Maurice has been outspoken over the past week about
his opinion that the White House political operation, led by Karl Rove,
was behind the leaking of false documents to CBS regarding George Bush's
military "service." His comments and unwillingness to back down from
the premise that a White House with a clear history of manipulating the
media could be behind this action have resulted in him being targeted
by a right-wing smear campaign.

One of our local papers, the Daily Freeman, has been conducting an
online poll asking readers if they agreed with Maurice's assertions. Until
recently, the response has been relatively equal. However, this
weekend, the right-wing bloggers began to flood the poll and now the results
are vastly one-sided.

I'm writing to ask for your help in stopping this manipulation of
public opinion about our Congressman. Please forward this information to
anyone interested in standing up to the right-wing distortion and ask
they they register their opinion in the poll. You can vote at
www.dailyfreeman.com .

1. Done

Poll currently running 2-1 against Hinchley

[H2O Man]

2. Done.

I think that this would be of interest on GD, where there has been a series of pro-Hinchey threads. Last week, we targeted a upstate NY newspaper (Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin) and got their assistant editor David Rossie to write a great editorial for the Sunday paper, on this topic. This may have gotten more attention there.

Now, where can I vote in a poll to say I think Rove is connected with Gannon?

9. sometimes the greatest crimes are solved because someone exercised their

KEEN PERCEPTION (rather than the mere FACTS that judy woof-woof in her interview with congressman Hinchey last week wanted to exact from him) and saw through a pattern of behavior or invisible posited clues that no one else saw through or thought to put together...

I believe Congressman Hinchey is guilty of, if anything, KEEN PERCEPTION and uses it to very insightfully and correctly conclude who was after the CBS/DAN RATHER/planted STIERCOL'S MILITARY SERVICE.

Here, if you care to read it, is the link to yet another example of keen perception
http://www.onlinejournal.com/Commentary/022205Simon-Noble/022205simon-noble.html

the four last paragraphs of which basically state,

"if you were to ask me , I could immediately identify for you old Prescott Bush and his father-in-law, George Herbert Walker,who are known to have financed Adolph Hitler and his war machine, and whose progeny, from Poppy to Junior to Jeb, follow the fascist line of thought of their predecessors, plus the aid of Karl Rove, unprincipled man, propagandist par excellence, pompous in his own self importance, and Machiavellian in his pursuit of the ends without regard to the means, as well as a master slanderer whose values enmesh with those of the Bush family so perfectly that the Bushes have made very good use of his nefarious services.

And then, as I thought further about the Klan, the Bushes, and Poppy's preferences for covert operations and his penchant for 'the boogie man is gonna' get you' sort of thing, the image of the hooded Klansman came to my mind which then turned it to the image of the hooded Abu Ghraib prisoner.

Wow! What a twist on the old Southern tale.

The flavor of the Klan is truly embedded in this perfect twist of the old Southern tale of power and abuse at Abu Ghraib, in which the Bush penchant for covertness together with the brutality of the Klan is present and authorized by Bush and his administration in a way that this time, and in the far away land of Iraq, it is not the criminals who wear the hoods to keep them from being identified by their victims, it is the victims who wear the hoods which prevent them from identifying the criminals—just as black Southerners were prevented from identifying the hooded Klansmen who committed crimes against them.

What an incredible twist of an old tale borne out of the Bushes' twisted minds.

if you were, say, your average freeper - that is to say ethically challenged - you would figure out that you have to clear your cookies to vote twice (or three times, or). I would never suggest stooping so low, mind.

Please, tell a friend - it's just this kind of "poll" (that can be so so easily hacked) that becomes a kind of easily portable truth to people.
"'Course Rove didn't do it, look at this POLL!"

If we are going to take back our government, we will also have to take back the media.

Well, if both sides are stuffing it, then it should be ok, right?
