NPR'S Tavis Smiley Carries OH Election Fraud Story!!!! Listen, its good:
Edited on Tue Dec-14-04 01:57 PM by jamboi
This is decent coverage from NPR reporter Janet Babin in Cleveland. This could be the start of MSM warming to the story. Blast this all over the web!

Listen here:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4225107

Write here to thank Tavis tavis@npr.org

He's about to leave NPR, so this was perhaps a parting shot.

"Tavis Smiley has informed NPR that he will not renew his contract and that his last day on The Tavis Smiley Show will be Dec. 16, 2004. Smiley is a remarkable talent who holds an important place in public radio history. NPR wishes him well. The show's regular Friday host, Tony Cox, will fill in for Smiley. NPR will launch an aggressive national search for a new host who can build upon the success of the show."

13. dupe - I posted this yesterday...
right here in this forum:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x149184

with the Subject:
NPR (Tavis Smiley Show) audio on "Ohio Voting Irregularities"

The scroll rate was pretty fast yesterday, and it got all of two replies, including one from jamboi....

...so, did I do something wrong with my post? I'm a newbie and am trying to learn the ropes, so constructive criticism or procedural corrections are welcome. :-)

15. Sorry, didn't mean to step on your post. So much yesterday that I forgot
Edited on Tue Dec-14-04 01:56 PM by jamboi
about it. I think I only vaguely remembered your post and I watched a bit of his program last night in hopes of finding it but missed it. This morning's thread on how NPR's not covering it got me to look again and rediscover it. So you should get the credit for starting the ball rolling on this. Thanks!

Also though by reposting I can use my influence to draw additional attention to it. Thanks for posting it and keep up the great work.

17. glad you did
I don't mind...I was disappointed when the original was ignored, so I'm glad you gave it new life with a more exciting Subject line.

19. BLACKWELL SAYS THE ELECTION RESULTS WERE
"INSPIRING"? I had not heard that quote before and am still laughing.

20. Yeah, he also made reference to...
"the collaboration of hundreds of Democrat leaders" (for fraud to occur)

Uh, Mr. Blackwell. Isn't that "Democratic leaders...?" More Karl Rove Republic values?

And why we're on the subject, isn't it possible your state's fraud occur in the tabulator and not in the individual precincts, thereby making it unnecessary for the collaboration of "hundreds of Democrat<sic> leaders?"

21. He has done this before
On Olberman, I believe.
It is deliberate and insulting.

23. He also said something to the effect of "glitches happen..."
But did not say why just about EVERY glitch in this election has resulted in a Bush gain...

24. yup I just felt sick when i heard him say
the election in Ohio was perfectly inspiring. What a con man

Like when he put out the article : "How Ohio pulled it off"

its like he is saying "ha ha you cant catch me, I can do what ever the F----k
I want and no one can stop me....."

28. This is a great story, thanks for the post, it breaks my heart
to hear that Tavis is leaving. Why couldn't NPR support him the way he deserved to be supported? We don't get Tavis in our market in our red state, though I *have* requested it. People around here could have really benefitted from listening to him.

:cry:

29. Write to him! Maybe we can get him on a new liberal MSM network that
we need to build.
