Conservative radio maggot Laura Ingraham has asked her listeners to call and jam a voter protection hotline.
Seriously, Republicans really, really hate democracy, don't they?

“It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about diseases that are so difficult.”
- Laura Bush, on Michael J. Fox appealing for voters to vote for stem cell research advocates
You've probably heard about Rush Limbaugh poking fun at Michael J. Fox and his Parkinson's (video here). Real class act. Then again, he's a junkie, so we should know what little to expect from him. Not to mention a guy who gets busted for Viagra possession on his way to an island known for young boy sex.
More on this issue, including Limbaugh's BS, FAUXNews keeps pretending he was acting, actors and athletes run an ad against stem cell research. Wait? Aren't Republicans AGAINST actors and athletes interfering with politics? Never mind.
And of course, Colbert's take on the Limbaugh angle.
This, of course, is just another part of Republican dirty tricks and dirty election ads.
NPR is also carrying a series on the language of the administration, post 9-11. If you are tuning out politics, at least check that one out.
Plus an older article by Bruce Schneier, effectively titled "Refuse to be terrorized."
"I have to admit that, gosh, I learned an important lesson - never to offer a helping hand to anybody ever again"
- Jim Gibbons, who unfortunately will probably end up Nevada's governor anyway
So, this plays out like a "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" ad. You're loaded and have been drinking with friends, as well as an off-duty cocktail waitress. She, after three hours of solid drinking, gets up to leave. You escort her to the parking garage, which is never a short walk. She stumbles, you help her so she doesn't fall.
At least that's your side of the story.
She says you tried to sexually assault her.
Did I mention you are married?
And almost twice the waitress' age?
Did I also mention you are running for governor of Nevada?
Here's the story thus far, including a politically motivated sheriff and a lot of "he says, she says."
As for Gibbons, he just thinks he shouldn't help people anymore. Then again, he's a Republican; he stopped worrying about helping people a long time ago.
But hell, it could be worse. Marilyn Musgrave has long been a foe of gays, and considers fighting against gay marriage to be more important than anything else. Anything. Watch her reaction, and her supportive goon squad's overreaction to being asked to choose between saving a soldier's life and stopping a gay marriage (video). Granted, a loaded question, but this lady is just plain filthy.
That's not as bad as what happened to a constituent of George "Macaca" Allen in Virginia. When trying to ask his senator a question, he was knocked to the ground by a gang of four Allen staffers. Here's his side of the story and some video. Gotta love the reporter's pro-Allen bias. What liberal media?
And so it goes....
