Bull shit

Keep those Niggers from voting!This scares the shit out of me. A new bill designed to make voting easier is just what the Bushmen need to keep blacks from voting.

"The massive Harvard University Civil Rights Project study released last year found that it was 50 percent more likely for a black vote to be [rejected] than a white vote. In Florida, the U.S. Civil Rights Commission found that a black vote was nearly 10 times as likely as a white vote to be rejected.

"The first elections with computers produced vote-count horror shows that make one yearn for hanging chads. In 2002, Comal County, Texas, tried out new computer voting machines - and three Republican candidates each won their respective offices with exactly 18,181 votes. “Isn’t that the weirdest thing?" County Clerk Joy Treater asked at the time. “We noticed it right away, but it is just a big coincidence.”

Inflammatory language + link to opinion piece + ground already covered lately = lousy post.

Holy shit... that'll get your attention.

It will also keep people from paying attention to the content of your post-- well, me at least.

only piece Im sorry for is 'ground already covered lately', but if I didn't see it, there is bound to be a fair amount of people who didn't either.

but if I didn't see it

I would argue that this isn't justification for reposting recently posted stories.

I agree that some issues are very important and need to be discussed, but only a week has passed since the last time this was discussed and it's not like the opinion piece you've provided adds anything new to the table.
