Letters to the Editor

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. By Farhad Manjoo [2006-06-03]

  ...has to put up facts, not smears or accusations.

  The real problem is that we live in a 50/50 nation. National elections are so close that suspicion of fraud is inevitable. If the Democrats had won, you better believe the Republicans would be crying fraud, and probably a lot louder and with more tears.

  What Democrats SHOULD be doing in this divided country is making the case for the Democratic party and for liberalism. Frustratingly, neither the activists nor the mainstream Dems seem to be at all interested in making this case: the activists want to indulge their paranoid fantasies regarding Bush and the mainstream Dems seem bent on repudiating liberalism itself.
