RFK Jr.: 2004 Election Was Rigged!
If any lingering respect survives for Camelot despite the battering its reputation has endured from Chappaquiddick Ted and his chip off the block Patrick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is doing his kooky best to put it out of its misery.
Flinging himself to the outer edges of the lunatic fringe, RFK Jr. is squawking that the Republican Party stole the 2004 election. In a cover story due out today from the sober and responsible folks at Rolling Stone Magazine, the noted environmentalist wacko whose field of expertise now extends to election fraud announces that Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters from casting ballots.
Ken Blackwell — now a Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio — is the key villain in Bobby Jr.'s conspiratorial fantasies. The blackguard Blackwell allegedly used his position as Ohio Secretary of State to purge eligible voters from the rolls, make the lines long at polling centers, rig a recount, and so forth. As proof of his theories, Kennedy notes that CNN had predicted that Kerry would win Ohio, and yet he lost.
The piece is the fruit of four months of investigation, during which time Kennedy had use of the research facilities of Rolling Stone. I believe these consist of three bongs and a coke spoon.
Previous RFK Jr. research yielded the remarkable discovery that Hurricane Katrina was caused by Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour's insidious attack on the Kyoto Protocol.

You might look back a couple of RS editions ago where RFK, Jr. was squawking in a one-paragraph blurb about some "issue" that does not readily come to mind at the moment, but was equally as ludicrous. Windmills off Nantucket? I think so. You've got windbag Teddy to supply the air and this idiot to tilt at them.

Just watch, he'll be the frontrunner for 2008 in no time. Poor ole' Russ Feingold should've found a higher cliff to jump off of.

Democrats NEVER lose an election. You need to understand that the election is ALWAYS stolen from them.

It looks like Bobby got himself a new tin-foil hat!

If anybody should know about voter fraud and conspiracy it would be a Kennedy. Do you think if Old Joe was still around RFK JR would have that lobotomy like his aunt?

George Bush murdered 3000 people on 9/11 and got away with it. Hope you're happy you stupid fuck!

Thanks, Kiw, for demonstrating what conservatives are up against.

Actually, he's what anyone who loves freedom is up against. But these days, that's pretty much just Conservatives.

I see that KIW still hasn't signed up for the prescription drug benefit... better hurry!
We've seen a disturbing trend these last five years where lefties insist that exit polls, or even opinion polls provide THEM with legitimacy and a mandate while denying the legitimacy and political mandate that the actual election polls do.
And they call conservatives "un-American" as that witch, Ketchup Lady Heinz Kerry did to V.P.Cheney?

At least the Kennedy's know a LOT about stealing elections. Just count the number of dead people that voted for JFK in 1960.
