re:"Phoney Chicago butterfly ballot....."
Ish you said, "This is from your posted site, it knocks you in the ass. Please don't bother me with your crap anymore-"
One more bit of crap and then I'll assume you're giving up on the phoney ballot story.
I can understand your desire to quit this discussion since you've been proven wrong at every turn including the one below. You've apparently got a short attention span because you chose not to read the next paragraph of the Koppel transcript. That's the kindest thing I can say. I have included that paragraph for you, I'm sure you can handle that much more additional reading......
More info on Karl Rove getting caught presenting a forged
Cook County ballot to Ted Koppel on Nightline, claiming it
to be from Jesse Jackson, Jr.'s Chicago congressional
race, (from the official ABC transcripts):
KARL ROVE That's right. Now, also, in addition to that, is
this same butterfly ballot, similar--very much similar to the
format being used in--in Florida, is also used in the other
races in Cook County, including the race for the congressional
district seat now held by Jesse Jackson Jr. I saw Reverend
Jackson on television today decrying the use of the butterfly
ballot in Florida. I've never heard him decry the use of it in
Chicago elections, or Cook County elections in which his son
was on the ballot and which his son won.
THE ORIGINAL CLAIM ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9,
AVAILABLE ONLINE:
, ABCNEWS: Nightline: The Nation Waits (Transcript)
AND THE FOLLOW-UP THE FOLLOWING NIGHT, FRIDAY,
NOVEMBER 10: Nightline replayed the exchange between
Rove and Koppel, this time with the truth:
BUSH SENIOR STAFF MEMBER It's the same butterfly ballot,
similar--very much similar to the format being used in--in
Florida. It's also used in the other races in Cook County,
including the race for the congressional district seat now held
by Jesse Jackson, Jr. I saw Reverend Jackson on television
today decrying the use of the butterfly ballot in Florida. I've
never heard him decry the use of it in Chicago elections, Cook
County elections, in which his son was on the ballot and
which his son won.
NOW HERE'S THE PART YOU LEFT OUT......
TED KOPPEL Yeah.
BUSH SENIOR STAFF MEMBER So there's a selective use of
this that--that is highly disturbing.
TED KOPPEL Now, in point of fact, it turns out that that is
not true. We checked with Cook County in Illinois, and they
have not used the butterfly ballot for that election. And
indeed we checked back with the Bush campaign, and their
response was that they had received bad information.
Feel fool-Ish?? |
