Bobby Kennedy Jr's article in Rolling Stone Magazine is causing quite a stir among Democrats, including the local ones at Horsesass.org, the local Daily Kos lite blog. These lovely examples of fairness will consistently label the right wingers as cry babies when they complain about the fraud and flaws in the King County Elections Department, usually over the same issues they take outrage on in Ohio. Yes their gloating and whining over this piece sounds notably (but familiarly) hypocritical.
The piece by Kennedy is really nothing new. At it's heart it is a rehash of the same stuff we have heard ad naseum when Kerry lost in 2004. It is weak on new facts making it just another rerun.
In other words, like a Michael Moore film, it is unlikely to convince anyone who did not already believe it, and serves no purpose except maybe to rekindle the hatred of those suffer from Post Traumatic Election Loss Syndrome., whereby you embrace the belief that it is always easier to blame your loss on the other guy cheating then it is to concede that you may actually be in the minority and accept that you lost.
Simply put, they are sore losers.
My usual reaction is to tell them to get over it, which is strangely enough the same thing they told Dino Rossi when Christine Gregoire was handed the Governor's mansion despite all the flaws in the local election process.
Captain Ed has a great blog on all the flaws in the piece:
Tinfoil Hats On Parade
Bobby Kennedy Jr has a turgid expose at Rolling Stone which purports to blow the lid off the 2004 presidential election by claiming that 350,000 Ohio voters were prevented from reaching the polling stations. This, unsurprisingly, has excited the entire port side of the blogosphere. However, when one begins to read through the argument, supported by a slew of citations but no evidence at all, it sounds like a very tired rehash of all the conspiracy theories we heard between November 2004 and January 2005, when the Electoral College made the results final.
