Bill Sammon's book was on the NYT bestseller list for months. It is only ignored in the left wing media-where they have been whistling past the election fraud graveyard for over a year now. The left's main weapon is to revise history immediately-while it's still a media event. It is a very effective totalitarian weapon. Lenin and Goebbels, looking up from Hell, must be kicking themselves for not thinking of it in their day.
But, like all Carvillian propaganda, it's benefits are short run. At the end of the day, the story of 2000 is told buy the 100% "turnout" in Philadelphia, the "cigarettes for registration" crusade in Milwaukee, the illegal poll hours in St. Louis, the "Lets scare the old bastards to death and drive them into the streets" tactic in South Florida, the "Fuck the military, their votes don't count" court actions in Florida, and-worst of all-the obscene and racist propaganda campaign aimed black voters to convince them that they were "disenfranchised" by racist election officials and cops in an election where their turnout was up 50%.
That's the Clinton/Gore legacy, and it will keep the Democrats out of the White House for the next generation... |
