 Murder, Spies & Voting LiesPosted on Oct 29, 2008
Patty Sharaf’s new documentary “Murder, Spies & Voting Lies,” featuring election integrity journalist Brad Friedman, tells the story of Clint Curtis, a computer programmer who says a prominent Florida Republican asked him in 2000 to create software that could be used to rig the vote. Al-Jazeera’s Riz Khan takes a closer look.

Speaking with Friedman after the broadcast, he revels in the irony that it took a foreign news organization like Al Jazeera to finally break this story, when American organizations like ABC, CBS, NY Times and the Washington Post have all known about the charges for at least four years, but refused to publish them. This story has been viral on the internet during that time, especially on Bradblog.com and has at times even overloaded his servers and temporarily broken his blog.

Having been a network executive and seen first hand how every gimmick and trick in the book is brought out to enhance the November ratings for the network news, it’s astonishing that this isn’t big news.
If CBS wanted to put their division back on top, all they would have to do is run this story as a multiple part series and they’d be the number one news broadcast.
As David Letterman said about McCain’s excuse for not showing up: “This doesn’t pass the smell test.”
In other words, why in a transparent commercial world where ratings are always king, why wouldn’t they cover this story?

Listen to what Obama is saying: “This is not over. Power does not give up easily.”
Expect the worst over the next 10 weeks. They will lie, cheat, and steal to keep a black man down. And they don’t give a shit about us. Sarah Palin is giving cues to her Heggians and Dobsonites. After the election keep your eyes open. The Republicans have studied Rwanda. They know that with a small percentage of the population and a compliant media they can keep power. Bush would be only too happy to call a state of emergency. The code word is “Southern Strategy.”
Keep vigilant. This election has to be fair. Otherwise democracy is dead.

This is no Joke , This is not Political Hijinx, This is TREASON.
Report thisArrest Them, prosecute them and Lop their Heads Off!Otherwise all battles and Wars as of the Revolution were in Vain. Every life that was lost , all treasures sacrificed was For Nothing! We might as well have stayed a colony of the English Monarchy.What is more an ‘UnAmerican Activity’ then Stealing an election from the citizens of a Demcoracy? What is more Terroriszing than Seizing Power, rights and Freedoms out of the hands of these citizens.
These slaps on the hands has done nothing to stop this High crime, so a High crime Punishment MUST be levied!I am not a avid supporter of The Death penalty but to preserve a Free Democracy for my Descendants….I will make an Exception! Same Sentence should be for those who Conspire with the actually culprit too.
EXECUTE for This Fundementally Treasonous Act! No benefits of the doubt,No appeals, no Pardons, no commutations, NO MERCY! Just one Head rolls off that Block and I’m betting this UnAmerican Activity STOPS Immediately! After 7 yrs of BS rhetoric and faned outrage has done nothing, it’s time to respond swiftly and Harshly
