DON’T LET THE AP GET AWAY WITH THIS!

Mark Crispin Miller writes:

Everyone knows that the real issue of electoral fraud is voter caging and voter suppression. Its the only reason why Bush “won” in 2000 and 2004. Yet our corporate media, especially CNN and AP (forget about FAUX News), is now in full attack mode on the issue but with a focus on the Democrats and ACORN for the handful of fake voter registration cases that have surfaced.

The Associated Press “Goldfish” story (see below) is a classic example of the bait and switch game the mainstream media plays when it comes to this critically important issue. Ultimately, they want to make the public believe that the only form electoral malfeasance that takes place is perpetrated by the Democrats, when in fact the GOP is guilty of removing hundreds of thousands if not MILLIONS of legitimate voters from the rolls in battleground states. Of course, they’re doing it right now to try to rob Sen. Obama and the people again of a fair victory.

Don’t put up with this fake news scam! The Republicans have gotten away with voter suppression for too long — with the help of the mainstream media.

Call the Associated Press’ New York office now and tell them that YOU are not being duped by their lies. Please forward this to as many people as you can.

Our goal should be to have at leat 10,000 flood the AP office with calls today and all week long.

Ron Fournier, head of the AP’s Washington bureau, is very tight with Bush’s chief adviser Karl Rove: Fournier has written columns (see below) echoing Rove’s tactic to call Obama “arrogant” which is a Republican code word for “uppity” which they have also used against Obama.

Obama walks arrogance line
By RON FOURNIER, Associated Press Writer Ron Fournier, Associated Press Writer Mon Mar 17, 1:57 am ET

WASHINGTON - Arrogance is a common vice in presidential politics. A person must be more than a little self-important to wake up one day and say, “I belong in the Oval Office.”

But there’s a line smart politicians don’t cross - somewhere between “I’m qualified to be president” and “I’m born to be president.” Wherever it lies, Barack Obama better watch his step.

He’s bordering on arrogance.

The dictionary defines the word as an “offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride.” Obama may not be offensive or overbearing, but he can be a bit too cocky for his own good.”

Is it the role of a an AP reporter to lecture Barack Obama. Another former AP reproter/international correspondent par excellance Mort Rosenblum is doing something more meaningful–launching a new journal of great reporting and photography tomorrow night. I will be ther. Its called DISPATCHES. Look For It

ANOTHER GOOD MAN GONE.

More bad news. On the day of my friend Danny Cassidy’s funeral in San Francisco, I heard that while I was away my childhood pal Bob Easton, once of the Bronx then of New Mexico and now of the next world succumbed to cancer He outlived his diagnosis by three years, traveling the world and living every day. My love to his wife Kath and family.

Its at times like these that I seek solace in Leonard Cohen’s anthem: For some it’s a ring tone. For me, it rings true:

“Anthem”

The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.

We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
of every government –
signs for all to see.

I can’t run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they’ve summoned, they’ve summoned up
a thundercloud
and they’re going to hear from me.

Ring the bells that still can ring …

You can add up the parts
but you won’t have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum
Every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.
That’s how the light gets in.
That’s how the light gets in.

Another day in the search for light. Less news. More blues.
