WSJ’s John Fund charges Franken with election fraud (!)
Although that “(!)” is, in fact, uncalled-for, since the GOP–the party of election fraud–
has always charged the Democrats with doing that sort of thing. It’s exactly the same pathology,
or strategy (hard to say which one), that has the party’s multitudinous sex addicts, straight and
gay, always charging that the Democrats are one huge humping mass of drooling pervs.
This sort of thing would just be laughable if types like Fund, who’s done a lot to help his party
steal elections (through his involvement with “the American Center for Voting Rights,” a
propaganda front established to promote the myth of Democratic “voter fraud”), were not
so often treated as a genuine disinterested “expert” by the MSM. Him they’ve had on time
and time again, to blather about (Democratic) “voter fraud,” while freezing out all those
true experts–and there are dozens of them–who serve neither party, and who really
know the subject well.
In any case, about the Franken/Coleman race: If either side committed fraud in that election,
it certainly was not the Democrats, but–as ever–the Republicans. As there is evidence
that Coleman “won” through fraud back in 2002 (the same year that Don Siegelman, Max
Cleland, John Sununu and Tom Strickland also “lost” under suspicious circumstances), so
is there evidence of (further) fraud on his side in that too-close Senate race last year. And yet
we now have Fund perversely bellowing that Franken cheated, even though there’s not a
shred of evidence to back it up.
(Fund compares Al Franken’s “stolen” victory with Christine Gregoire’s “stolen” victory in
the 2004 gubernatorial contest in Washington State. Although that “theft” is Gospel in Rush Limbaugh’s universe, the fact is that, there too, the only solid evidence suggests that it was
Dino Rossi, Gregoire’s Republican opponent, who tried to “win” through fraud.)
Now, wouldn’t it be nice if Sen. Franken were to make an issue of such civic crime? Certainly
Paul Wellstone would, if he had not been so decisively–and conveniently–eliminated
from the running just before Election Day, 2002. And Franken has pledged tearfully to honor,
and continue, Wellstone’s legacy:
So let’s be optimistic, and assume that Franken’s long and staunch refusal to discuss the GOP’s
election fraud (like Obama, he has always held that Bush and Cheney won their re-election
fair and square) doesn’t mean that he won’t ever change his mind, or even open it a little.

WSJ Whackos in Denial: ‘Franken Stole It (and So Did Gregoire in ‘04!)’
Debunking evidence-free, sore-loser wingnuttery from John Fund and fiends. Again…
In an unbylined Wall Street Journal editorial (why a liar and sore-loser like WSJ/GOP operative John Fund is so ashamed to put his name on his own writing we’ll never know…okay, maybe we do), the once-respectable paper shamelessly asserts: “Mr. Franken now goes to the Senate having effectively stolen an election.”
Since the sore-losing, sour-grapes, tin-foil hatted conspiracy theorists of the Wall Street Journal have taken the opportunity to propagandize the transparent Franken/Coleman election results by comparing them to the 2004 Washington state Gubernatorial race, where the Democratic candidate Christine Gregoire defeated Republican Dino Rossi during a long, sloppy post-election contest and court case, let’s remind folks for the record, here in the reality-based community, what the judges in each case found in regard to the keyboard wingnut claims of “fraud”…
