RNC's Mike Duncan claims Democrats/Obama/Biden are tryng to steal elections
By John Amato Friday Nov 14, 2008 4:00pm
There is a coordinated effort by Conservatives to play the "Obama is stealing elections" game since they've been resoundingly rejected by the American people. The RNC is actually sending out fundraising letters which are blatantly claiming that Obama and activists are actively stealing elections away from Republicans. Mike Duncan, soon to be exc-RNC head is called out on this lie by CNN's American Morning host John Roberts who thought Duncan was way out of line too.
Roberts...but this fundraising letter clearly said that they are trying to steal these election victories.
Duncan: Well, we have to be careful. There have been a lot of reported irregularities in this election going back to ACORN when....
Roberts: Is it accurate to say that they are trying to steal these elections or did that language go too far?
Duncan: John, haha, I've not got that in front of me right now, but I want to make sure that we are vigilant and allow anyone to irregularly out influence the outcome of this election and we have to have resources to do that.
Roberts: It just seems to me to steal these election victories is pretty charged language and you should have something to back that up.
Duncan: Do you want anyone to steal an election?
Roberts: I don't want anyone to steal an election. but if there's no evidence that anybody is than it's hard to reconcile with how you put that language in a fundraising letter.
So he's telling us that the one and only Mike Duncan, the head of the RNC doesn't know what his own fundraising letter contained in it after he signed it and sent it out. What a liar.
Orrin Hatch is also engaged in similar behavior.

somebody is stealing elections...
Projection and deflection seem to be their only prevailing MOs. To the point that I am now certain that if a GOP blames anything on any one is because he is guilty of it to begin with.
Yeah, it could not possibly be that we just endured what could be considered one of the worst presidencies at the hands of the GOP, nooo sire bob, it could not possibly be that.
@#&* the Republicans. Vote early and vote often.
"Roberts: I don't want anyone to steal an election. but if there's no evidence that anybody is than it's hard to reconcile with how you put that language in a fundraising letter."
Wow, how did a pea-brain like Roberts suddenly discover the importance of evidence? CNN has never promoted evidence-based journalism.
Wow, I noticed that too. Imagine - a MSMer actually taking a rightwing idiot to task with facts.
Never thought I'd see that...
Roberts used to be a VJ on MuchMusic in Canada, of all things. He makes Peter Jenning's qualifications (high school dropout) look good.
Holy crap you're right! I remember him on MuchMusic way back in the late 80's! He had long hair and totally looked like a rocker.
Hilarious
The ironing is delicious.
In the Republican mind, it is considered actively stealing elections away from Republicans. This theft occurred by someone putting forward a better candidate who ran a better campaign and got elected. The audacity!
Did I fill out my ballot with my left hand? Someone on the left must have made me do it and I ended up voting for democrats. The democrats must be doing this to all righhanded voters. Wahhh, they are stealing elections.
Project much, Mr. Duncan?
The Republicans do not want people to vote. This year the Republicans didn't and we all got our wish. :)
republicans are so damn immoral. They know full well that they mean and what their written words say and yet, in an almost freudian process, as if seeking forgiveness, expose their stupidity with their worthless responses when they are called upon to just own up. Such juvenile behavior!
won't be happy until they have a full civil war in our country. Then they can say "see what happens when you put a 'you-know-what' in charge?" Only thing is we ain't buying what they are selling.
I swear, they want it to be Birth of a Nation so badly they can taste it.
Didn't this Rovian bullshit just get rejected at the polls yet the Rethuglicans are still trying it. Falsely accusing the Democrats of what the Rethuglicans are guilty of. If anyone should know about cheating election theft is the party of Bush v Gore, and Florida and Ohio recounts. Unlike Bush, Obama won with political capital and I hope he spends the hell out of it!
I hope Obama is planning a trip (or two, or three) to Georgia before the runoff. I will be very disappointed if he doesn't go.
I keep saying this...and I'm probably going to keep saying this:
These Republican flacks, hacks, hangers-on, gangsters, criminals and idiot fellow travelers in the MSM are not going to stop. Obama has not even been sworn in yet and the volume is already up to decibel hell levels.
These fuckers must be countered and ridiculed at every turn. Do not give them an inch...not a fraction of an inch...Nothing. Zip. They wanna play rough? Then let's show them some Very Rough. Humiliate them. All day, every day, if that's what it takes. Force them to finally slink back down the rat holes they crawled out of...
Yes! That's exactly what I have been doing. Gets them to STFU real fast when they are countered with facts.
I agree with you Shotojamf- These Repugs need to be bitchslapped back into reality- What bothers me as that there are some liberals who feel we should turn the other cheek and take 'a high path', and let the right wing spew their venom without there being a rebuttle from the left. THAT would be a big mistake.
Of course Katherine Harris and Brother Jeb were far from being partisan when they did their part to the election for that America destroying chimpanzee
saying 'Vote early and vote often' recently and then having a big laugh at his own joke. Sickening.
mutton-head, say "eye!"...
from this chick, fastfeat. Aye Carumba!
if he won't go willingly...
i guess they don't remember katherine harris down here with her thumb on the scale.
Thumb? Her and brother Jeb had their fucking foots on the scale and America has paid a heavy price for it ever since.
Ah yeah, Jeb & Katherine were f--king together and f--ked the whole country over. Then they got Jeb's daughter to bring over the drugs you know for after they finished screwing the country.
If you want to know one of the reasons the world is so f'd up, look at the RNC.
I certainly hope my Conservative, Limbaugh-fan uncle believes this. It'll be a real blast to tell him to "just get over it" at Christmas.
Hey, I like this title. Maybe I can become a freelance RNC fundraiser copywriter!
what I do at my night job, PLEASE...
does anyone on the msm really listen to these guys?
they all follow the same pattern
obfuscation, denial and attack
It looks like the clip noted above is from CNN, so it appears that the MSM is spending airtime on this shit. Hence, it needs to be countered.
Fuck these bastards. Ridicule them. Humilitate them. Send them home with black eyes, crying to their mommies (or Karl Rove, as the case may be). But DO NOT LET UP ON THEM. EVER.
Roberts: It just seems to me to steal these election victories is pretty charged language and you should have something to back that up.
Duncan: Do you want anyone to steal an election?
Roberts should have immediately asked Duncan if he’d stopped beating his wife.
remember the term.
And, were I a betting man, I'd bet Duncan's wife hasn't stopped beating him.
I've invested heavily in Pampers, Luvs and Huggies, and WOW, I am set for life!
and right on schedule. I expect all the reputable media outlets to sing the same ideas in unison.
I also see that in my new Rolling Stone even moderate repubs are sounding off... what with David Gergen telling everyone that this is a "center right nation" and suggesting that Obama should govern accordingly.
where were all these rational assholes during the last 8 years?
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has now gone so far as to set up a "Minnesota Recount" conspiracy theory blog. The site is devoted to the advancement of making and reposting unsubstantiated claims from around the wingnut 'sphere --- and that would include liar John Fund's Wall Street Journal --- that Al Franken and the Democrats are in the process of "stealing" the U.S. Senate race in Minnesota...

Interestingly, most of the comments from readers say to take off the tin foil hats and let the votes be counted. Drop on by and add your comments.
I'm just glad we have an honest Democrat as Secretary of State (Mark Ritchie) and not the last one, Mary Kiffmeyer, a Repub who tried to bar American Indians and students from voting. Courts overturned her, but heaven only knows how many students didn't show up because they thought they couldn't vote. American Indians living off reservations couldn't use tribal identification according to Kiffmeyer. Really, of all the people Kiffmeyer tried to disenfranchse - American Indians?! She did all she could to keep people from voting and those darn liberal judges just kept standing in her way.
What a joke. They are experts at stealing elections so they think the democrats want to steal an election. Oh please, Roberts really made him look boorish.
Look people am old, not McCain old but old. Everyone talks about MSM. Can someone please tell me what that is? Don't laugh but it doesn't sound so good. Let me in on it so I can give my 2 cents worth. So you smart young bloggers tell me please. Help me become a bright bulb in a crowd. (Ha)
In any case MSM = Main Stream Media, or Mass Media as it used to be known.
Duh, I feel stupid. LOL. I now know that Tyler is the brightest bulb in my crowd. Thanks kiddo
I hate acronyms myself, sometimes I need a freaking encyclopedia to decode what them kids are saying these days because everything is written as: LOL this, ASAP that, and SOL them.
LOL! Try being in the military!
What did they do? Call their daddies friends on the US supreme court and ask a huge favor?
That McCain admitted Obama won.
make sh*t up. That is the republican way. They were defeated by some 8.5 million popular votes. Obama received over twice the electoral votes they received.
Karl Rove stole the election in 2000 and 2004 and he stole them in a couple of precincts which threw the electoral college votes for the states of FL in 2000 and OH in 2004.
Elections are not stolen by the numbers that turned out to vote the republicans out of office.
If the repuglicans want to ever have as chance again, they should take a long look in the mirror and realize that the people have rejected their methods of lying, fear, and smear. We do not buy their idea that we are stupid as they are.
That thing up there won't play, and until it does, I can't quite believe a good CNN Bushie like John Roberts actually, properly, handled this creep. It doesn't feel a bit real.
Maybe it just won't play for me because I'm boycotting CNN.
:)
I haven't watched network news in years, since they dumped Dan Rather and replaced Bob Scheiffer with Katie the lightweight. ABC was in the tank for Bush all the way and NBC was not much better. CNN echoed Fox far too much, and I nearly gave up on MSNBC with hacks like Chris Matthews until I found Keith Olbermann. And, I actually sought out shows with Rachel Maddow's commentary until she got her own show, she is truly a breath of fresh air.
A few years ago, at the height of the reports and arrests of catholic priests for child molestation, the response of the catholic cult's defenders was that police prosecution the pedopriests and the media reporting child molestation were "anti-catholic" acts.
The republican whine sounds exactly the same now.
As I understand it, the Minnesota race is being decided by a STATE-MANDATED recount. Since when does following the LAW to decide an election become stealing?
The GOP needs to change their symbol from an elephant to a smoking pile of bullshit considering how much of it they produce.
Duncans obviously are afraid of competition. Classic Duncan game: Hollering "Stop, thief!" at someone else to get the law chasing someone else while the Duncans 1-pick pockets 2-steal identity 3-steal and scam real estate
4-suborn judges 5-kill old ladies for antiques
The Southeast is full of "crooked Duncan" stories. If you don't like mine, I'll find you plenty of other folks with stories of their own.
The poor ethically challenged soulless things believe they are the sole owners of the political machinery. Talk about an entitlement-program attitude!
"RNC's Mike Duncan claims Democrats/Obama/Biden are tryng to steal elections"
What a joke. After the last 2 Bush elections, they have the b*lls to say that. Give me a break. That statement made me laugh out loud. What hypocrites! Do they really think everyone runs elections they way they do??? Another "Do as I say, not as I do." Time to lay this Republican party next to the Whig party. (right where they belong)
Ahhh yes....."I See", say the blind men. It truly is the GOP, errr, the RNC!
Why is it the Repubs accuse the Democrats of their own tactics? No. Democrats don't steal elections, Repubs are the ones turning away people from the polls like elderly nuns that don't have driver's licenses.
