@CJGClark...Greg Palast
Thanks for keeping this citation alive. It seems we are the only ones aware of Greg Palast's work on many of the Bush stories. Yes, he is the one who broke the FL 2000 and OH 2004 election distortions. I have access to the database used to disenfranchise FL voters and can tell you that the data contained is so flawed that it is no wonder the results were so inaccurate. Phony/incorrect birthdates, criminal records and name misspellings, to name a few, are endemic. Greg's book, Armed Madhouse, was in the hands of Andrew Meyer at the U of FL when Kerry spoke, and is the source of the statements and questions posed by the questioner to Kerry on that occasion. As to Andrew Meyer's behavior on that occasion: how does it differ from that of such esteemed "journalists" as O'Reilly and Limbaugh and Coulter when "interviewing" people with dissenting viewpoints? How many times has O'Reilly cut a mic or told a subjet to "Shut up" or even threatened one with physical harm? I could go on, but I think I have made my point. It is best to balance inquiry with a broad viewpoint of the subject being discussed. If you want to accuse Clinton of misbehavior, be willing to look at Bush with the same discernment. Were Clinton's lies more or less damaging to the United States and its citizens? How many people is he responsible for killing, directly or indirectly by his policies? And, I am no fan of his since I do not support war for any reason. And, for what it is worth, I am a VietNam vet, 1968, and I can prove it. US56701250 is my dogtag #.
peace,
