Onion: Republicans Urge Minorities To Get Out And Vote On Nov. 3

Edited on Wed Oct-27-04 12:49 PM by RichV

Hilarious article!

MIAMI, FL�With the knowledge that the minority vote will be crucial in the upcoming presidential election, Republican Party officials are urging blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities to make their presence felt at the polls on Wednesday, Nov. 3.

"Minority voters should make their unique voices heard, especially the African-American voting bloc, which is always a major factor in every election," said Florida Republican Party voter-drive organizer Mark Monreal, as he handed out flyers at a community center in the mostly black Miami neighborhood of South Farms. "That's why we put up hundreds of brightly colored banners featuring Martin Luther King Jr. and the 'Vote November 3' reminder. We needed to make sure they know when we want them at polling places."

5. A little too close to home

How many people will see this, think it's for real, and not vote?

7. It would be funny, but......................

they've actually tried this before. It was in Philadelphia I believe. Telling them to get out and vote the day after the election was over, that's just plain wrong, and VERY stupid.

10. Ah, stolen election humor....makes my head explode!

Onion 2000: Gore demands a recount of the Supreme court votes - ha!ha!ha!
Considering that it's an ACTUAL GOP dirty trick - where exactly is the fun?

11. Love the Onion. Remember the "Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and

Prosperity is Over" after the 2000 (s)election? Were they ever ahead of their time or what.
