"There is an explanation for this tone, and for the constant claims that Gore is trying to "steal" the election, when all he asks for is a full and accurate count which he may well lose. It is that, fundamentally, Republicans don't believe that a Democrat like Gore belongs in power - no matter how many votes he gets." That should be a shocking statement to make about a democracy, yet it is an accurate description of a wide vein in Republican thinking." Couldn't have siad it better myself guardianunlimited.co.uk

<<The invincibly ignorant. >> Is that what you call him now? I thought it was The Head Goron. I can understand why you would change his title after reading this: With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2000; 9:27 AM ET Nadler Missed 'Whiff of Fascism' in New Hampshire Manhattan congressman Jerrold Nadler garnered big headlines over the weekend, when he announced that he smelled a "whiff of fascism in the air" after Republican protesters got angry at election recounters in Miami-Dade County who tried to conduct their recount in secret. We want to congratulate Nadler on the return of his olfactory senses, which didn't seem to be working nearly as well earlier this year in New Hampshire. Nadler had traveled to the state to campaign on behalf of Bill Bradley, then in the midst of a serious primary challenge to Vice President Al Gore. He was accompanied by retiring senator Bob Kerrey, a bona fide war hero who lost a leg in Vietnam. As the two stood in the snow, making the case for Bradley within earshot of a rally for the vice president, pro-Gore demonstrators surrounded them. "Go home, fatso," one of the Gore brownshirts yelled at the rotund congressman. "Get outta here, you cripple," another heckler taunted Kerrey, after kicking mud on the senator. Though Gore pit bull Chris Lehane was spotted just feet away as the ugly moment transpired, two days later the vice president protested he hadn't heard a word about it. Reporters on the scene said the husband of Gov. Jean Shaheen, who headed up Gore efforts in New Hampshire, was in the middle of the crowd that attacked Nadler and Kerrey. Somehow Congressman Nadler missed "the whiff of fascism" that animated Gore supporters that day. Needless to say, the vice president never apologized for the actions of his supporters.
