Uncensored Gore

[Skeptic]

You haven't heard of coloureds being intimidated against voting and registering?

Of course I have; if you were a black man in the south who tried to vote, you might be visited at night by robed men.

But that was hardly a SECRET conspiracy, now was it? Everybody knew this was going on-- that's the whole point of intimidation.

Coloureds? Where (or what decade of the mid 20th century) are you from? Voter fraud in the U.S. pretty much evens out, the dems are as good at it (if not better) than the republicans. How many dead people voted for JFK in IL?

I was referring to the term used when it was an open practice, I believe. The Democrats are also famous for their manipulation of the system. The point is, it happens, and both sides indulge in it.

So, the point that if Nixon had not been accidentally caught, no one would have found out about Watergate, still stands.

Who says it doesn't happen? It happens everywhere on the planet that has free elections. Certainly doesn't help your case in trying to prove Vidal not a kook.

He was close to the Kennedy clan, IIRC, and was not at all pleased with what he saw. He is no more respect for the Democrats, I believe, than he has for the Republicans.

There was a recent scandal here in Australia, in which shares were bought in a printing company that mysteriously burnt down after it had been insured for $34 million, when the plant was only worth $4 million. The shareholders and those involved spanned all political parties. This is his real gripe. The power cliques that form.

Did I hurt your poor wittle feelings? Is that the cause of your incessant crying? I got news for you little girl, dont dish it out if you cant take it.

Where did I say or imply that you hurt my feelings? God, you're dumb. So many dumb people on this board wasting my time with this kind of nonsense.

Tony, look: When you reply in a hostile tone, asking what Vidal and his ilk think, that's not really an open question. You cannot later say, "oh, but I asked you."

This should not be difficult to understand... but then, I guess some people are just slow. Unfortunately, the slow people here can't stopped from running their mouth (or fingers).
