Not much time for comment, so here’s my interview from over the weekend on Air America’s Ring of Fire with Robert F. Kennedy & Mike Papantonio. I’m sure you guys will have plenty to comment on. We discussed Busby/Bilbray, Diebold, and the DNC/DCCC fears about jumping into the fight for electoral integrity and taking on these god-forsaken awful e-voting machines.
More on all soon. Plenty to say and write, but little time to say it or write it for now… 🙁
— Brad on Ring of Fire, 7/8/06 [MP3, Appx. 15 minutes]
UPDATE: Forgot to add, reliable sources tell me that Catherine Crier of CourtTV’s Crier Live — who filed an extraordinary video editorial recently on the dangers of E-Voting — will be covering Busby/Bilbray, Clint Curtis and the NH/White House Phone-Jamming convictions tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 5pm ET/PT!
Give ’em hell, Brad.
Yep, Brad sizzled.
And, too bad the whole show’s not up…. Bobby said some stuff earlier in the show that made me cry. He has a gorgeous soul.
Does anyone know what is affecting Bobby’s speech?
Floriduh
I can’t remember what it’s called, but it is a genetic disorder he inherited from his grandmother… something like that. HE HAS A RADIO SHOW ANYWAY! Is that hip, or what?
Thanks 99. I banished Floriduh from using my computer so there won’t be any more confusion. From now on, it’s just little old me.
Whoever #3
Mr. Kennedy has the same voice problem Diane Rheme has, but I don’t know what it’s called either.
Brad came up with quite a revelation in this one. A lot of people told him Busby was supposed to shut-up about the machines by the DCCC.
DCCC, take your last breaths, it’s too late! The people are taking power from the machines. Get out of the way!
Brad, you can tell that “Ring of Fire” already is beyond the proof stage of e-vote fraud, already accepts that fact, and is interviewing you on the next level. That is really saying a lot, thinking about how far it’s come from a year or two ago. I think it’s “mainstream” to accept that e-vote fraud is occurring. No more “tin foil hat” crap! What’s that saying? “First they laugh at you………etc…
The conspiracy theorists are the ones WITHOUT the tin foil hats.

Great interview Brad, speaking of the Dems ignoring the problem have you heard from Russ Feingold since you spoke with him??
Re #9 Note : The dummy head models (bustless bust)look like William Shatner . . .
LOL
It’s the housewife Shatner, the baker Shatner, and the pirate Shatner
Dang, I gotta redesign my tin-foil-hat!

Chicken Burritos With Marinara Please
Can I get guacamole instead of marinara, 99?
Well, yes, Chris, but if you don’t get the pass phrase right, someone will mistake you for a KAOS agent, and THAT is, well, uh, right now, is not a good thing…. Up to you, of course…. 😛
WHAT THE HELL???
So wait, the DCCC is aiding and abetting this cover-up? This is vomitous. And Francine Busby just listens to them and accepts her “defeat”? What horseshit!!!!
If any of Busby’s people are reading this, let’s spell it out for you: you guys need to do whatever you can to convince Francine to UNCONCEDE. There’s two options here: the DCCC has a deal with Bushco (which they will of course renege on)–or they’re just FRICKING IDIOTS.
Either way, listening to them makes no sense. This is about the future of the planet here. Pussified, boot-licking “Democrats” have no place in America 2004. You will be weeded out and replaced with people with guts, with the bravery to say, “You know what? Your system sucks. Blow me. I ain’t playing ball.”
We’ve known for a while the Democratic mainstream is part of the problem. Now we know it’s policy. God help us all.
Francine Busby, grow a set and stand up for yourself, for what is right and for America. FUCK the DCCC. Fight back!!!!
Er, I meant 2006. Boot-licking toady Dems had a rather large place in 2004, sadly.
One commenter; one screen name!!!!! Just like one man; one vote! It is a top priority rule! –99 🙁
Has there been any confirmation of the dccc thing? That is disturbing, if true.
— Chris Hooten
Whether the DCCC has an official or unofficial policy about its candidates not challenging elections based on faulty or vulnerable machines is irrelevant.
The American people are getting raped here. It’s not about partisan politics. The DCCC must hear us loud and clear…”No candidate will receive the support of VR without pledging IN ADVANCE not to concede any election if questions remain about voting machines.”
We know the background to this. HAVA mandated that machines had to accommodate the handicapped. The architects of HAVA made an implied or actual promise to the companies that if their machines conformed to this requirement, they’d be recommended to the states with financing help provided. Nobody in Washington bothered to ask, “Are these machines hackable?” They only cared that blind people could use them.
Pretty ironic, isn’t it? Blind people can use the machines, but Congress has blinded itself to the monster it created.
good job, Brad!
JUDGE OF JUDGES #9
I don’t know about all that technical specification stuff involving the foil hats. I bought two sets of ear buds. Both sets had a range of 20 to 20000 hz. One set sounds pretty good, and the other sounds like crap! What’s that all about!
Those head models aren’t William Shatner. They couldn’t possibly act that badly! But I love Shatner anyway.
Brad:
Not the DNC too! Say it ain’t so! I guess it has to be or they would have said something by now. Never mind.
Crap!
RLM #21
Iv’e always thought the ironic thing is that we’re ALL blind voters on these machines.

My digital tv guide is saying that CourtTV is showing a marathon of COPS. Any word if the Crier piece is still going to air at another time/date??
