Was White House involved in Dem NH phone jamming scandal?
Photoshop from The Aristocrats.
Oh stop frowning, Cavuto***, the America-haters at The New York Times are just "asking the question..."
On Election Day in 2002, when New Hampshire voters were going to the polls in a hotly contested Senate race, the phone lines in Democratic get-out-the-vote offices were jammed.
After the guilty plea from its executive director, the New Hampshire Republican Party paid to settle a civil lawsuit filed by the state’s Democrats.
There is reason to believe, however, that the phone jamming ploy may have been coordinated out of the White House.
Democrats say there were 22 phone calls between New Hampshire Republican officials and the White House Office of Political Affairs on election night and early the next morning.
[New Hampshire Congressman] Hodes says that rather than trying to learn the truth, the Justice Department has engaged in unlawful interference to block the investigation. Read more...
***Nah, I don't expect anyone on Fox to actually cover this story. But I do wonder why news like this fails to increase my respiration any more.
Cavuto=Giant douchebag.
Is that the really banner at the bottom? President Bush: Completely Mental?
I like it. I'd like it better with an exclamation point, but it is Fox.
It's a photoshop from The Aristocrats. Sorry for the omission. -- Blue Gal
I like the chyron! Yes! Mental as anything.
it was a national security issue!!!
Is phone jamming when parties of people get jiggy with it by playing their downloaded tunes they use as cell phone rings?
Kind of like some lame commercials from a couple of years ago?
"It is shocking to think that anyone in the White House was involved in a dirty trick designed to prevent Americans from exercising their democratic rights." from the article.
If it were just about any other administration, I'd be shocked. In the case of Bush, I'd be more shocked if he hadn't. This is just another example of his hostility toward democracy.
President Bush:
Clintons fault?
More and more evidence is leaking out of a massive coordinated voter fraud. We need those White House emails!
One thing funny is how the "liberal" press jumps all over trumped up stories of voting fraud as per the Republicant's, but ignore what appears to be voter caging by Republicant's officials.
You know the White House was involved... they've been involved in all the shit all the time!
Toobin was found guilty of being a apart of this nightmare, and he was GW's Maine campaign chair. but he quit that post before he was officially charged. Sounds like a WH tactic that all indicted aides, except Safabian followed. Even Rove has the temerity to "resign".
Hope they get nailed on this scandal. Still think the Dems aren't getting things accomplished? In a strange poetic way GW is bringing morality back to the WH! By being indicted!
I wonder what demons are in Cavuto's closet? On second thought, better not to know - it would probably make me sick.
Questions Blog @ 4:
Of course the 22 phone calls are NOT being made available for the public...any requests
for them to the DoJ is denied under the cloak of "nat. security" BS...just another in a
long, long list of DoJ illegal activities covered up by Gonzo and this admin. But not to
worry, they can, and probably do, listen in and record YOUR phone calls.
Is the Pope Catholic?
Republican Governor of Mississippi Haley Barbour owns controlling interest in the company that did the phone-jamming in New Hampshire.
ysbaddaden @ 9:
Yep, same can be said about the "liberal" MSM as to illegal and/or questionable contributions
by certain individuals. The media is pumped up and full of Hsu's donations to Hillary but
not a word, except in the Utah papers, about Robert Lichfield's contributions to the
Romney campaign...and Lichfield "worked for" and was Romney's campaign chairman in
the State of Utah. Fair and balanced....I think NOT.
skinnergy @ 15:
No surprise there. Barbour's a scumbag.
This is old news in many respects.
Of course the WH was involved! Can you say Karl Rove?
As an Italian American I can confirm that Cavuto is not the italian verb "to squeal like a pig".
However, looking at him, perhaps it should.
99 @ 14:
Are bears Catholic?
Does the Pope dump in the woods?
And if no one is there to hear, does his farts make a sound?
Charles @ 8:
I can just hear it now..."It's not illegal if the President does it".
This was news about 2-3 years ago. Of course, its a welcome reminder of all the slime that was, is, and i'm sure, yet to come for the republicans wherever they go.
Oh, and Cavuto, making a face like a boy who got the smallest amount of Liberty Fries does not make you look thoughtful.
Liberal AND Proud @ 21:
Or if not that, then how about "It's covered by Executive Privilege"
Busholini IS a privileged executive.
Dr. Acula @ 25:
Or a pillaging asshole.
Cavuto is a filthy PIG (no offense to the Suidae).
KARL TURDBLOSSOM ROVE.. what else need be said?
RW @ 27:
Actually pigs are pretty intelligent, and piglets are the cuuutest thangs.
Something like this happened in NM, as well just before the 2006 elections, when Democratic voters with Hispanic surnames were called and given incorrect polling places. I don't have a Hispanic surname, but I was called a day or so before the elections by someone with a blocked number who assured me that the polling place had been changed and he only wanted me to be sure that I was going to the right place. If I had gone to the place I had been told to, the relatively short window of time I had that day before work would have been wasted and I would have had to call in to work to vote (a whole other problem altogether.) As a registered Independent voter (nobody get excited; I tend to vote Dem, especially after this last election), I wonder how much of that had something to do with how I was registered and the fact that I am a student, registered through the on-campus efforts of NMPIRG?
A new day, a new crop of outrageous scandals, any one of which would have successfully gotten Bill Clinton impeached.
the White House's disdain for voters knows no bounds
Do Fish swim?
Oh stop frowning, Cavuto***, the America-haters at The New York Times are just “asking the question…”
Question: Would you rather urinate on an American flag, or burn it? (I couldn't resist.)
The reason it doesn't raise your respiration rate, is because after seven years of the same ol same ol corruption... It's to the point where.... it's just to be expected out of these asses....
They are like the neighborhood bully... Everyone knows his deal, noone likes him, noone expects him to change.... And they ultimately blame the parents as much as the bully... Are you Listening Babs and Georgie41? That last is meant for you two..
Now if out of the blue the Bush administration actually did something positive, like unilaterally begin a pullout of Iraq, or pushing for single payer universal health care or maybe forcing the business community to cough up a fair share of taxes, or maybe force them to install real pollution mitigation devices like smokestack scrubbers instead of selling pollution 'credits' back and forth like bubblegum baseball cards...
Well, you'd see more than a rise in respiration... The whole figgin rest of the world would feint dead away in shock......JD
Picture Caption: "I hate calories."
That could be their new secret weapon. Instead of "gay bombs" and voter fraud, if the GOP just did good truly deeds, we'd all die of shock. Opposition eliminated.
Is Bush mental? Hmmm...
Edwin@37;
That is just crazy enough to work... So of course they'll never buy it.... They'd never go for that good deed things... But boy, sure makes for a nice daydream huh...
As for the question... Is Bush mental??? Ummmm I vote HELL YES! Certifiable as far as I'm concerned..............JD
jeez am i surprised the White House involved in CRIMES!!!
White House connected to phone jamming? Perhaps another reason WH Counse/RNC e-mail was deleted.
Is Bush/Cheny really that smart enough to pull that off, though? If Cheny did it, smart as HE is, he forgot the elementry rule of dirty tricks/coverups...phone calls can be traced...the fools.
Haven't they learned anything?
God, at least the Nixon people were competent bag men.
The Bush people are just creepy incompetent douche bags.
StirFry @ 36:
Cavuto needs to wage a war against midnight snacks.
From the NYT:
"It is shocking to think that anyone in the White House was involved in a dirty trick designed to prevent Americans from exercising their democratic rights. Unfortunately, after this year’s revelations about the firing of United States attorneys for partisan political reasons, the possibility cannot be dismissed out of hand. "
Who writes this stuff? Who the hell would be shocked if the dirtiest,most corrupt Administration in history,(that got away with stealing two elections fixing the intelligence to start a war that killed over a million people) would stoop to a little phone jamming after the vote-caging in Florida in 2000and in Ohio in 2004?.
I don't have the time to dig it up right now, but BRAD BLOG (type that into a search engine and you'll arrive) has been on this like stink on shit for a long long long time now.
It is really a foregone conclusion at this point, but barely known around the country. BLUE HAMPSHIRE is another blog that has covered this extensively, as their senator (Sununu) is the one who benefited from it directly.
Didn't want to come off like I wasn't glad to see this brought up - - - I certainly am.
Breaking Story! Bush breaks more laws. Denies citizens their lawful rights and rigs elections. Americans too fat, lazy and stupid to care continue to allow their country be ruled by murderous felons.
You know if I didn't see this every god damned day, it would piss me off.
Was the White House involved? Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?
Come on people , isn't it time that we all get together and start calling and e-mailing CNN, MSBC, ABC, NBC and CBS en mass to tell them to start covering the news! If those media outlets get hundreds of thousands of call and e-mails they will start to take notice? they know that if those contacts were all made to advertisers there would be some serious money loss.
Website contact page. Send an email to as many as you can. Titled. Start Covering the NEWS! Stop spreading the Whitehouse lies!

If it's illegal, this stupid little frat boy and his crime family were involved in it. I'm so sick of these ne'er do wells I could puke.
Impeach these scum now. Wake up congress, unless, of course, You're in on the take. At least free speech allows us to say things like this, but the way things are going, a tasering or imprisonment may be our free speaking punishments. Have I mentioned lately how much I hate these people. POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
