Bad puppies, the Florida conceit

History Snatchers


and he did ...
Brent Baker here discusses HBO's 'Recount' movie which premiered Sunday night.  Starring Kevin Spacey as the the hapless Al Gore, it's Liberals indulging their conceit that they never lose elections, they are only stolen.  Like the stupid puppies they are, we are continually obliged to shove noses into pee stained rugs, until they learn.  Which will be never, alas, which is why injecting sodium pentobarbital is the preferred and humane method.

Anyway, this week some Libtard will approach you wearing a  sh_t eating grin, and ask if you saw "Recount?"  Liberals learn their history from Hollywood, so they'll want to bitch-slap you with the "real truth."  Slap back with this, for all the good it will do.  Or just whack them with a 2X4. 

The lead of an April 4, 2001 USA Today story headlined, “Newspapers' recount shows Bush prevailed,” by reporter Dennis Cauchon:

George W. Bush would have won a hand count of Florida's disputed ballots if the standard advocated by Al Gore had been used, the first full study of the ballots reveals. Bush would have won by 1,665 votes -- more than triple his official 537-vote margin -- if every dimple, hanging chad and mark on the ballots had been counted as votes, a USA TODAY/Miami Herald/Knight Ridder study shows. The study is the first comprehensive review of the 61,195 "undervote" ballots that were at the center of Florida's disputed presidential election....

That look was followed in November by an analysis by a consortium of media outlets, including the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, CNN and AP. It determined that George W. Bush still would have won under either legally possible recount scenario which could have occurred: The Florida Supreme Court ordered recount of undervotes statewide or Gore’s request for a recount in certain counties. The New York Times led its November 12, 2001 front page article, “Study of Disputed Florida Ballots Finds Justices Did Not Cast the Deciding Vote,” by reporters Ford Fessenden and John M. Broder:

Uh......watch the film before dissing it,huh? You have your facts wrong....right down to the character Mr. Spacey plays.

Liberals never let actual facts get in the way of The Narrative. In their universe not all truths exist, only those that support their worldview. A quote from Alice in Wonderland sums up the left quite well:

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"

"You have your facts wrong.."

Joanne, are you referring to the election or the movie?

Rodger the Real King of France said...

Joanne is right, Spacey played Gore operative Ron Klain. I dropped HBO so I can't watch it, so I have to go by what people like Spacey say ... like

“the movie is done from the Democratic point of view.” and “It does seem that on the one hand the Bush people were trying to stop votes from being counted and the Gore people were just trying to get votes counted.”

If that's true, then the entire movie is misleading. No. It's a fabrication.

As the republican political agent (forget who and too lazy to look it up) who was involved in the election and consulted on the movie said..."they won the movie but we won the election."

Do they show the part where the DNC sued to have all Military votes from Florida thrown out? You see, each ship is an official balloting station, but they do not do time stamps. Therefore the votes of the Military were not to count. Of course it has been this way forever. But if you have to squelch the voice of those that defend you while you sleep, no biggie for a democrat, if helps you reach your goal.

If I have the chance to watch this movie I'll do all in my power to miss it....I did all the chokeing and pukeing I intend to, the first time around....Watching Hollywood bullshit with the intentions of disputing their facts? is like arguing with the famous village idiot.Their are certain directors not worth the price of admission and as far as movies with anything to do with History..well..I prefer mine 'neat' as in unwritten.

sorry....unre-written

Rodger the Real King of France said...

Marine from S. Florida makes an excellent point. At least 1,527 valid military ballots were discarded in Florida by Democratic vote counters. Had they been counted the automatic recount would not have been triggered in the first place. We won't mention the net Bush votes lost when VNS called the election for Gore while the panhandle, in the central time zone, was still voting.

It does seem that on the one hand the Bush people were trying to stop votes from being counted and the Gore people were just trying to get votes counted.

Yeah, right. I was a Floridian on active duty during that election. I was out of state at that time, so I voted (as I had done for over 20 years) by absentee ballot. I noted that Al Gore tried to throw my vote out. I was livid at the transparent deceit of the Democrats. Still am.

In 2004, many were saying that was going to be the most important election in their lifetime. They're saying it again this year.

They are wrong. The most important election in our lifetime was in 2000. (Some would argue 1980, but c'mon, even Rodg's dog would have beaten Carter.)

And don't think for a minute that the THREE recounts were not all about Palm Beach/Broward. These areas got recounted by themselves with complete disregard for the rest of Florida. Strangely, they were not too concerned about the precious rights of people in Lakeland J-ville.

What beautiful irony. Back then EVERY vote must count or throw it all out. Hey, aren't there some uncounted votes in Florida NOW?

For the last several years I've thought of Hollywood as a sick dog who time after time regurgitates and then eats his own vomit. This Tinseltown cur does this over and over,never wavering from his formula for boring mediocrity.If only he could be broken from this taste for a diet of carrion, filth, and corpses of rotten political ideas,and returned to a diet of fresh meat that kept him nourished and his coat shiny back in the 30's-50's.....I believe writers have always tried to indoctrinate readers (movie viewers)and I don't fault them for that if it's not so overbearing as to be pure propaganda and lies. As the years have gone by, Hollyweird, which has always leaned to the Left,has finally deterioriated to the point that they have driven away nearly everyone who isn't some sort of lunatic left winger, pervert, or tenny booper in age or at least, mental state.There are movies that I wont even bother to watch these days and I presume that makes me a closed minded movie bigot...So be it. I got it legitimately after consuming years worth of cineramic puke.Well, Hollywood, television and the press (papers & mags) are paying the price...I think sometimes that the internet is going to kill them all. That's probably just wishful thinking. Hell, I guess I really don't want that after all, but let's just say, "I want what I pay for" and the media hasn't delivered for a LONG time.If I wanted indoctrination in wackiness I'd join the Communists or one of those religious cults....One of the few encouraging things I've seen lately is the growing awareness of the public of the biased and unreliable media.

Yowza, JMcD, excellent. You owned me on "ceramic puke", but I'm still digesting.
