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 has an agenda, but I do not like paying for it.

    To quote another letter writer, who has summed up my thoughts: "When someone, like Manjoo, denies the reality of something I have experienced personally my inclination is to ignore them, and I certainly will ignore Manjoo from now on. I don't know what his agenda is, but he's got one, and it doesn't have much to do with the truth. Kennedy is far from perfect . . . .and he's far more credible than whatever the rightwing serves up through Manjoo.

    I was sorry to see Salon publish this deceptive piece."

    AS a paying member of Salon, I must now question the wisdom of supporting someone who misses the entire point of the Kennedy article. We must question the election, the MSM will not even let a whisper of this out, except in references to tinfoil hats and blogs. The vast majority of the American populace do not want to even admit that such a thing COULD happen, it is most important to ask DID it happen, and how could it happen. Manjoo seems to have a real personal agenda here, and frankly Salon is supposed to be a little more objective. An article with more encouragment for the questioning, and less worrying about the detailed analysis, which can come later would have been more appropriate at this point.
