>>If only O'Reilly or Hannity were half the man that Dan Rather is and 1/4 as professional. Your days of criticizing quality while you harbor all the schlock in the world are over.<< Hannity and O'Reilley did cover the diebold lie, there was nothing there they moved on. Did you ever stop to wonder why the writer of that piece never tells you what position the "whistle blower" held? Nope, your vision is that it looks like it can hurt Bush, so screw the details. It will turn out he probably some Left-wing maintenace jack that has absolutly NO knowledge of how voting machines work...egg on the democrats face AGAIN. Don't you guy's get tired off wiping scramble from your face? >>Your days of criticizing quality while you harbor all the schlock in the world are over. << ?? How so? Answer this.... Why would Diebold, that makes hundreds of millions of dollars in DOD certified products risk that business to "fix" an election....Oh and by the way, the operating system is Microsoft WINDOW's...and Bill Gates is a democrat. I canhear the crowd control at this wreck: all right...everyone move on, there's nothing here to see....

Ted, this is not good: "Marshals', witnesses' accounts differ on jet bomb threat claim" cnn.com Dave Adams, a spokesman for the Federal Air Marshal Service, said Alpizar had run up and down the plane's aisle yelling, "I have a bomb in my bag." However, no passenger has publicly concurred with that account. Only one passenger recalled Alpizar saying, "I've got to get off, I've got to get off," CNN's Kathleen Koch reported. "She was just saying her husband was sick, her husband was sick," said Alan Tirpak. When the woman returned, "she just kept saying the same thing over and over, and that's when we heard the shots." Another passenger, Mary Gardner of Orlando, said she also overheard Alpizar's wife. "I heard her say, 'He's bipolar. He doesn't have his medicine,'" Gardner recalled Passenger Mike Beshears recalled Alpizar running off the plane clutching a bag, chased by a man in a Hawaiian shirt. That man turned out to be one of the two air marshals. Beshears said he did not hear Alpizar say anything. "He just was in a hurry and exited the plane," he said. ... She said she was comforted after an airline pilot seated beside her said air marshals were on the plane and aware of the situation. She said she was comforted after an airline pilot seated beside her said air marshals were on the plane and aware of the situation. [ Yet they killed him ] A neighbor, Janice Tweedie, called Alpizar "very friendly and helpful to people around the neighborhood ... a very pleasant person, he and his wife both."
