Lies, Damn Lies and Democrats

Daylight come….and you want go home.

Calypso artist Harry Belafonte, a featured speaker at the march in Atlanta commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, referred to prominent African-American officials in the Bush administration as "black tyrants" and compared the administration to Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany.

Belafonte issued what he called a wake-up call to George Bush, warning that Bush had better sign the extension to the Voting Rights Act that Congress is expected to pass. The audience chanted: “What do you want?... Voting Rights! When do you want it?... Now!” Prominent Democrats in the audience including Nancy Pelosi and Al Sharpton cheered. What these activists failed to notice is that President Bush said over a year ago that he was prepared to sign the voting rights extension.

The truth means nothing to these folks.

When asked about the prominent Blacks in the Bush administration, Belafonte replied: "Hitler had a lot of Jews high up in the hierarchy of the Third Reich. Color does not necessarily denote quality, content or value," "[If] a black is a tyrant, he is first and foremost a tyrant, then he incidentally is black." It appears that Belafonte is a liar and a bigot too. "Day-O" Harry.


Voter Fraud and Intimidation in the 2004 Presidential Election

The American Center for Voting Rights recently issued a comprehensive report on the 2004 presidential election. The results contradict Democratic claims of Republican misdeeds. “While Democrats routinely accuse Republicans of voter intimidation and suppression, the evidence shows that Democrats waged aggressive intimidation and suppression campaigns against Republican voters and volunteers in 2004.” Some examples:

Paid Democrat operatives slashed the tires of 25 Republican get-out-the-vote vans in Milwaukee on the morning of Election Day.

Misleading telephone calls made by Democrat operatives targeting Republican voters in Ohio with the wrong date for the election and faulty polling place information.

Intimidating and deceiving mailings and telephone calls paid for by the DNC threatening Republican volunteers in Florida with legal action.

Union-coordinated intimidation and violence targeting Republican campaign offices and volunteers.

NAACP National Voter Fund worker in Ohio paid crack cocaine in exchange for a large number of fraudulent voter registration cards in names of Dick Tracy, Mary Poppins and other fictional characters.

The list goes on and on, all Democrat misdeeds while Democratic leaders accuse Republicans. There was nothing like this perpetrated by the GOP.

And the Democrats are fighting against voter identification cards; wonder why?


NARAL takes the prize

When ranking the lie-meisters it’s not possible to overlook NARAL Pro Choice America. Their latest TV ad opposing Judge John Roberts is just one long lie.

When Roberts was an assistant to the U.S. solicitor general he argued the government case that obstruction of an abortion clinic entrance does not violate an 1871 Federal civil rights law. The Supreme court voted 6-3 against a Virginia clinic and others that said the group Operation Rescue had denied women their right to abortions by blocking access to clinics. Roberts’ arguments were valid.

However the NARAL ad accuses Roberts of condoning violence against women despite the fact that the case had nothing to do with violence. The violence shown in the ad is from another case several years later having nothing to do with Roberts.

Furthermore, Roberts had written very strongly that any such violence is illegal and he urged the first President Bush to not even consider clemency for any of those convicted of violence against abortionists.

Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee, called NARAL's claims “false and outrageous.”

That about sums up the Democratic leadership as well.
