Wait, before you troll rate me for the title, it's not ME who believes that. No, it's ultra-conservative crackpot
Adam Yoshida at it again. Yes, he's baaaaaaack!!!
Last we heard from this Asian male version of Anne Coulter, he was defending Don Rumsfeld (12/21), railing against "The Gay Attempt to Rape the Memory of Honest Abe" (12/19; no, I'm not kidding), and -- my personal favorite -- defending torture (12/16)! So, you ask, what has gotten Generalissimo Yoshida all riled up now? You got it, the "Democratic Coup in the State of Washington."
I know, I know, you're scratching various parts of your anatomy and thinking, "huh, there was a
'coup' in Washington state? I thought that was the NATIONAL election!" It's ok, you're just a bit confused because you forgot that -- as Yoshida helpfully points out -- it's Democrats who "commit electoral fraud with far greater frequency than Republicans do." Ahhhh. In addition, you must have forgotten that we Democrats are the "party of idleness, dishonesty, and treason," not to mention "moral turpitude." I personally plead guilty on that one; I keep thinking that those words describe the Republican Party. Silly me. Finally, you apparently have forgotten that it's Democrats who have both the "motive" and the "opportunity" to steal elections. To paraphrase Bill Clinton, Democrats steal elections "because they can." Thank god for Adam Yoshida for reminding us of all these facts.
What does it all mean? Again, Yoshida has the answer:
What we've got in progress today in the State of Washington is nothing less than a non-violent coup d'etat. The will of Washington voters is being overturned through fraud and the complicity of a media which is, as always, willing to cover up the wanton criminality of the Democratic Party. What's going on in Washington is the same thing which the Democrats try in every election: the perpetuation of a great crime against the people.
Wow, thanks for clearing that up, Adam!
On the plus side, at least Yoshida concedes that further recounts would do no good. In his inimitable style, which I've got to admit I enjoy in a sick sort of way, he says, "Further recounts won't do any good: the pool of ballots has already been contaminated. Trying to separate the dirty Democrat ballots from the rest would bear remarkable similarity to attempting urine from a swimming pool."
<snark alert> Gotta hand it to these right-wing nutjobs they sure have a knack for creative writing. I just wish that, in the future, they would tell us more clearly what they REALLY think on issues like this one. <end snark alert>
Anyway, here's the complete article. Enjoy!
The Democratic Coup in the State of Washington
"Why is it always the Democrats who steal elections?" a friend asked me recently, "isn't it that you're just a Republican and you want to blame everything on Democrats?" While that is, of course, mostly true it does not alter the fixed fact that Democrats commit electoral fraud with far greater frequency than Republicans do. This is not (entirely) due to the well-known moral turpitude of the followers of the party of idleness, dishonesty, and treason, rather it is mostly a product of a geographic situation which results in Democrats universally possessing the two elements necessary to commit a crime: motive and opportunity.
In a broad sense, Democrats steal elections simply because they feel like it. More specifically, I suspect, Democrats rationalize it to themselves through logic that was on full public display during the most recent Presidential election. Essentially, Democrats believe that they are the natural party of government and, if they do not win, that means that they've been victims of fraud or deception or that their voters have somehow been "disenfranchised." This is the driving force behind the increasingly wild conspiracy-theorizing over matters in the State of Ohio. Democrats can't accept that they lost because they don't believe that it's possible for them to lose. They tend to view their failure to win as ipso facto proof of fraud or malfeasance.
This is, of course, a humorous thing since it's well-known that Democrats are far more likely to engage in electoral fraud than Republicans. As I've already shown, they've got motive a-plenty for fraud (not to say that Republicans don't as well), the difference is this: the Democrats have opportunity as well.
The places where it's easiest to commit electoral fraud are, obviously, those with the most voters. In other words: inner city precincts. Those places, as it so happens, fall under almost-total control by the Democratic Party. It's hard to create thousands of new ballots in a rural county with two thousand people. It's easy to do it in Seattle, Detroit, or Columbus.
Combine motive, opportunity and immorality and, more often than not, you've got a crime. And so we have.
What we've got in progress today in the State of Washington is nothing less than a non-violent coup d'etat. The will of Washington voters is being overturned through fraud and the complicity of a media which is, as always, willing to cover up the wanton criminality of the Democratic Party. What's going on in Washington is the same thing which the Democrats try in every election: the perpetuation of a great crime against the people.
Simply put, at this point, any election result which puts State Attorney General Christine Gregoire in the office of Governor is, on its face, invalid. There's simply been too much malfeasance for any such result to be accepted. Frankly, at this point the actual ballots in Washington State have been so heavily contaminated that I don't think anyone can trust the results.
The stories of what's gone on are legion. And, of course, almost all of them involve King County: a locality controlled by a classic, old-time Democratic machine. Ranging from the initial discovery of 10,000 "misplaced" ballots, to the "enhancement" of ballots that the machines wouldn't read, to, finally, the sudden "discovery" of another 750 "lost" ballots, the whole thing has been closer to what you'd expect out of South Texas in 1948 than Washington State in 2004.
Frankly, when all's said and done, I won't be at all shocked if we discover that those final absentee voters all managed to vote in alphabetical order.
Now, I realize that among the final batch of "disenfranchised" absentee voters in King County was a King County Councilman. This, on its face, would seem to be strong evidence that those voters were actually excluded from the original count as a result of worker error. Very strong evidence. In my opinion, suspiciously strong evidence.
Frankly, I wouldn't be at all shocked if someone simply manufactured those additional ballots and make sure to put a prominent politician's name of the list of supposedly disqualified voters in order to create the appearance of the vote's propriety. It wouldn't be hard at all. Get a list of people who voted absentee and pick off seven hundred plus people at random and add their names to the lists while manufacturing a second ballot for each of them.
I'm not claiming that is what happened: I'm just saying that it could have happened. I really don't know. A month and a half is an awfully long time for ballots to be sitting around.
Further recounts won't do any good: the pool of ballots has already been contaminated. Trying to separate the dirty Democrat ballots from the rest would bear remarkable similarity to attempting urine from a swimming pool.
