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.

    I agree

    with many other writers who don't even bother reading Mr. Manjoo anymore. I find his writing tedious and his analysis often self serving as opposed to insightful. This latest tome is just another sad example.

    I gave him another shot because of the subject matter and all I can say is- based on the weak excuses and group-think offered as substance in Mr. Manjoos' piece - that I am now, more than ever, convinced that the 2004 election was stolen, on purpose, just as it was in 2000 and will be until we stop making sorry excuses for the mess we are in.

    This article is nothing more than another "journalist" who missed the story in 2000, missed the story in 2004, and now, because they can't admit their culpability, seeks to deny the truth so as to continue to claim a smug superiority. This is the sorry fare of the NYTimes, Washington Post, and weekly newsmags that serve as apoligists to reaffirm their own tunnel vision; one would expect better from Salon.

    Let's deal with the truth, people: They stole it in 2000, in 2002, 2004, and they're not going anywhere. "Journalists" like Mr. Manjooand and Salon would serve democracy and debate better by facing those facts and publishing the truth, while they still can (i.e. before Mr. Gonzales at Justice comes calling.....)
