Liberals want us to believe Bush stole the 2004 election thanks to hacked Diebold voting machines. Yet these same machines in 2008 worked perfectly fine to elect Obama.
We start off by Shirley Sherrod-ing Trudeau's cartoon to make it sound like Trudeau's point was to accuse the GOP of voter fraud, when the real point was that the GOP is cynically using the tactic of calling for photo ID registration because it will suppress voting among demographics that are less favorable to their candidates. Which is true.
Then we carefully select a link to an article about voter fraud by Democratic candidates to 'discredit' the straw man point.
In the spirit of maintaining fairness and balance here is a link to a story about Republican voter fraud:
...when the real point was that the GOP is cynically using the tactic of calling for photo ID registration because it will suppress voting among demographics that are less favorable to their candidates.
No, more like living and legally residing young people, African Americans, etc., which is the point Trudeau was making. A point drowned out in the din of the echo chamber.
Well it does get loud here. But how are "legal" and "living" voters denied their voting rights?
Even the Baltimore example is particularly lame: voters were told to "relax" via robocalls. This is a far cry from ACORN's documented registration of dead voters.
Illegal robocalls and mailings pushing false information.
Targeted and nationally coordinated voter scrubbing campaigns.
50+ illegal forged absentee ballots affecting the Working Families Party primary ballot slot for the Rensselaer County legislature in upstate New York.
It takes a special kind of mind to wave away the first two items, while simultaneously swooning over the threat to our democracy posed by the third.

Translated for accuracy--"people voting illegally."

You mean demographic groups like dead people, convicted felons and illegal aliens?

Yes, well, here's my crazy line of demarcation: only one of those involved voter fraud.
When the Left does it: "non-existent". How's ACORN doing today?

Are you speaking to yourself, or what? Talk about the kettle calling the pot black.
OH SNAP, dude! What an awesome reply. Good call, too, skipping past all the criminal convictions.
However, your response would be more mature and convincing if you were rubber, and Democrats were glue.
KA-WHAM!
