Conservative pundit Michelle Malkin appeared on Fox News on Monday alongside anchor Megyn Kelly to discuss what Kelly called reports of "voter fraud on a massive scale with the intention of keeping Democrats in office."
Malkin seemed to be throwing her support behind anti-voter fraud efforts like the one started by the conservative website Pajamas Media and the effort by the website Election Journal, which includes an iPhone app.
"We are all voter fraud police now, and I think that the confluence between social media, citizen media and outlets like Fox News of course are making it more difficult for them to operate, but they are doing it any way because after all the modus operandi of these groups is by any means necessary," Malkin said.
Conservative organizations have continued to raise fears about voter fraud ahead of the midterm elections, as TPMMuckraker has reported. Last week, FreedomWorks CEO Dick Armey floated the idea on Fox that Democrats were only ahead in early voting because of voter fraud.
Malkin also mentioned the work of the Tea Party group King Street Patriots. Democrats in Texas have alleged that poll watchers trained by the group's True the Vote effort have been intimidating voters in heavily minority neighborhoods.
"I think an environment where ACORN has been so exposed as the leading group when it comes to voter fraud that some people may get complacent about this," Malkin said. "There are many ACORN off-shoots and big labor organizations that are operating under the radar screen that people need to be vigilant of. Those groups are operating in Arizona, California, Colorado and Texas where you do have hotly contested races," Malkin added.
But at least one statistic on screen seemed to undercut Malkin and Kelly's message. An on-screen display notes that there were just 100 convictions for voter fraud between 2002 and 2008, even after a massive push for convictions during the Bush administration (an effort which continues today).

See Breitbart, pimphoax, bradblog for details.

Long term memory to you would be what?
months?
Care to explain 12122000? Of course not.
Your very own nation:
Doesn't it make you the least bit curious that bush43 2004 'found' 8 MILLION Fundies? His overage in the vote.
A lil bit? Google Rove Diebold Cincinnati Counties, for details.

No. I would have been surprised if he hadn't. They were there all along,just waiting for a carney to come around and fleece them.
Just like your Muslim brothers do with your own fundies. After all,fundies are believers,not thinkers.

So....if 8 million had not shown up (and you and the pundits can't say where they came from;}, you, sp, would've been surprised.
How convoluted can one get. ;}

I don't know. Every time you have reached what I think is a limit,you surprise me and raise the bar a notch.

You don't know. But you refuse to go there to find out. You watch, but will not acknowledge.
Here's the plan. Master. Slave. But it will not work:
"The goal is for none of us human beings to have any legal rights vs. the corporation, but for it to have total rights vs. us. The goal is for none of us to be “employees” of the corporate entity, but just deputized laborers. Have you seen the impoverished day laborers who stand in a parking lot waiting for some guy to come around in a pickup truck? The goal is for all workplaces to become like that in essence, just piling into the pickup truck."
You do hate Corporations don't you? Just curious. ;}

I've probably been saying this longer than you have.
You do hate Corporations don't you?
Of course not. Your hatred of capitalism is one of the places where your train leaves the tracks. If it wasn't for commerce and profits driving development and opening new fields of endeavor and education,we would still be living in the Dark Ages.
Corporations have made life safer and more comfortable than any form of government ever conceived. Because of corporations and the desire for profits those of us in civilized western countries don't really have a class of poor people. Most of our working class people own their own home,2 cars,take vacations,send their children to college,and retire relatively young. All because of business and profits.
Which is where you really want to go with your communist ideals,even if you can't see it.

Good. Finally. ;}
Now we're getting somewhere.
So you see think you can have corporations w/o capitalism?
#14. To: All (#13)
Of course not. Your hatred of capitalism is one of the places where your train leaves the tracks. If it wasn't for commerce and profits driving development and opening new fields of endeavor and education,we would still be living in the Dark Ages.
Because Corporations didn't arrive until after Private Banks. And SCOTUS 'legalizing' same with a backdoor summation of a 14th Amendment Case.
And I see no reason for Private Banks.
#18. To: mcgowanjm (#14)
And I see no reason for Private Banks.
Of course not. You want the government to own them.
