Was the 2004 election stolen? No.

In Rolling Stone, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. argues that new evidence proves that Bush stole the election. But the evidence he cites isn't new and his argument is filled with distortions and blatant omissions.

    Manjoo's VooDooDoo piece will be used as "Source" by Mainstream Media

    And what really pisses me off is that this piece of shit journalism will, in all likelihood, be embraced by the corporate mainstream news media as further proof that the 2004 election was, for the most part, "fair and balanced", which will serve to reassure their viewing audience prior to their tuning into the next showing of American Idol in which they will be anxious to cast their vote. Of course, the mainstream news media will not have had time to justify their reasoning or conclusion, probably alotting just a 15- or 30 second time slot at most in which they will simply reference the title of the piece as offering sufficient proof. (Break for commercial.)

    Good God, what's happening to our country?!
