c'mon, that's silly.

only Diebold steals elections, and they do it for republicans

Well, okay...we already have an ACORN joke thread, but we can always make up more.

I thought it was the Supreme Court. Does anything not steal election?

 
Relatively Obscure [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 02:03:43 PM  
Clearly, all elections are faked by Diebold and ACORN, so there really isn't any point in having elections, anymore. All contests should be resolved via footrace and/or high scores on Pac-Man.

 
Rev. Skarekroe [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 02:05:51 PM  
Of course they did!
There's no way McCain/Palin could have lost otherwise! They clearly had it in the bag!

 
DamnYankees [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 02:06:16 PM  
Why would they even ask that question? Seems like a strange dichotomy. I'm not impugning the results, I'm just curious what motivated them to ask that specific question.

 
MaxxLarge [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 02:07:23 PM  
Lemme get this straight...

So, Bush's brother, the Supreme Court full of party appointees and GOP supporter Diebold all colluding to steal an election for Bush is implausible and a tin-foil-hat conspiracy theory. But an under-funded, largely volunteer-run grassroots organization that registers poor minorities for the vote and can barely keep the lights on at its inner-city offices was more than capable of yoinking it for Obama?

"Republican" is just synonymous with "hypocrite" now.

 
GAT_00 [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 02:07:37 PM  
And I will do nothing to discourage this belief, because for all the time you spend going on and on about ACORN, you spend less time ruining the country.

 
LordZorch [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 02:08:07 PM  
You could have run a lolcat and a squirrel against McCain/Palin and seen the same result....

It's quite an interesting study in a meme though. I never even heard about ACORN until last year, probably the same for most of the guys asked. It shows you how effective Fox has been at getting out this story.

But the nuts seem to make up a growing majority in one of the two clusterfarks parties.

You realize you just admitted that your party's nominees sucked so bad they couldn't have been elected, not the other way around, right?

I'm actually keeping a list of the ones that aren't.

Well... I plan to keep such a list anyway. I'm having a little trouble getting started.

how else could a knee-grow become president?

seriously, though, i wonder how they think it happened. voter registration fraud ≠ voter fraud. you can register mickey mouse a thousand times - it doesn't mean he'll vote even once. and ACORN was bound by law to report those bad registrations.

my theory: 20% of the american electorate self-identifies as republican. that number alone requires a near palin/beck level of wingnuttery. then you cut than number by nearly half and you have the basement-dwelling, mouth-breathing, spittle-flecked, red-faced über republicans. the ones who change their depends every ten minutes after shiatting themselves from a new GOP terror point (ZOMG TERROR TRIALS IN NYC!!! *poooooooohhhhhh*).

 
sweetmelissa31 [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 02:16:08 PM  
On election day 2008, I went out to vote for McCain/Palin. Once in the voting booth, I was accosted by an ACORN/union thug who told me I was going to be sent to a FEMA labor camp where I would have to perform forced abortions and gay marriage ceremonies with Nancy Pelosi, unless I voted for Obama. I would say more, but I fear they are watching me.

They are ignorant, and proud of it. There's little you can do to overcome that if they refuse to deal with reality and facts.

They're smoking crack.

The election of Obama was directly repudiation of Bush and his policies. The GOP is totally lost of they think ACORN did them in.

If you have the inclination, read "Manufacturing Consent". Or at least read the cliff notes on it. It'll explain just about every ridiculous you've seen in the newsmedia your entire adult life.

The sad part is, a lot of those Republicans who actually accept that reality, because it was because Bush/Cheny weren't "conservative" enough.

Heh.

Dude, I'm telling you, this conspiracy theories of theirs is flat-out the plot from the first Meatballs movie. The lovable but underfunded ragamuffins from Camp ACORN inexplicably end up besting the better trained and organized Camp GOP from across the lake in the summer games, complete with Joe Biden starring as Bill Murray's character, Tripper.

they asked the question because it is relevant.
the fact that such a large number of people believe something which is basically INSANE and patently false only proves that the question was "valid" or relevant.

would have be interesting if they had asked the same people if in 2000 they thought that bush had stole the election or if diebold had stole the 2004 election in ohio for bush.

would have been interesting to see what those answer were in contrast to the mccain/acorn questions.

nutcases are nutcases, doesnt matter if they are libruls or goptards.

Well, I can't blame them for canceling Arrested Development. I think I'm the only white person in America who thinks that show isn't funny.

Now, if I find out ACORN canceled Defying Gravity...so help God, I shall have revenge!
