Need any more proof that the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) which was formed by the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) is hopelessly compromised and utterly ineffective beyond repair?
Here’s the agenda [PDF] for their Dec. 7th “Public Meeting.” On Panel 2 for the “Assessing the 2006 Election” is, of course, the wholly discredited, democracy-loathing, high-level GOP operative scam artist and Bush/Cheney ’04 national counsel, Mark F. “Thor” Hearne. Again.
Apparently he has a bought and paid for permanent seat at the table, next to his St. Louis colleague and partner in Anti-Americanism, the outgoing EAC chair Paul DeGregorio.
You’ll note Hearne no longer even bills himself as being the founder of the phony, self-declared “non-partisan” “American Center for Voting Rights” (ACVR) anymore since his GOP front group astroturf organization — created solely to deflect from real Election Fraud concerns and push a contrived “epidemic” of Voter Fraud on an unsuspecting public so as to establish disenfranchising Photo ID restrictions at polls across the country — has been so thoroughly discredited. (You’re welcome.)
As I frequently say, this democracy ain’t gonna save itself. Particularly with cretins such as “Thor” doing all they can to game your American democracy for their own contemptible partisan interests.
“Thor?”
WTF kind of silly nickname… christ…
Anyone have this corrupt thug’s photo in dartboard size? Just looking at that guy makes me want to throw darts.
With this kind of “assistance”, who needs sabotage!
What is really maddening is that these traitors get PAID FOR THIS!
“Mighty Thor” What a joke of a human being
Great photo of that creep, Brad! He looks unnervingly like what I imagine as Ray Lemme’s last sight of a “human” face. I want my money back, but more than that I want revenge!!!
Ahhh! Our friend “Thor”…with the big forhead and beady cross-eyes from too much WASP “in-breeding”…truely, the “used car salesman” look…
SPRAY THE FCKER WITH THAT NEW TASER WAVE THEY PLAN TO USE ON IRAQIS FOR CROWD CONTROL THAT THE GOV SPENT 40 MILLION ON..OVER AND OVER AND OVER
OR GET IN THE RING MUTHERFCKER AND I’LL KNOCK YOUR LYING INBREED TREASONOUS LITTLE HEAD OFF!
I hear you Grizzley Bear Dancer…
Loud and Clearly.
Soon to be used on FREE SPEECH protesters albiet.
Can’t make technology like this go away, but perhaps we need to start wearing faraday cage clothing.
I swear to god it pisses me off, all of physics are being used to screw us over. power and frequency, or electronics.
We need a new constitutional amendment about physics being used to harass, to kill, to torture, to wound, to manipulate the constitution itself!!!
It’l never happen. fucking bastards have screwed so much shit up now we’ll be busy for years un-doing their fucking crap.
Beware of the Orange fences!
How much ya wanna bet…next thing we’ll find out about “Thor”…is he’s having gay sex with a male hooker, and buying “Meth” off him, too? Why wouldn’t that surprise me??? If I saw something like that, I’d just turn the page of the newspaper and think, “Yeah, I thought so…”…

Probably to his mind, the name fits the bill.
Thor, is the Viking god of thunder….famous for his war hammer that when thrown at his enemies returns to his side and the strike of the hammer causes thunderclaps, hence his claim to title.
Your modern day Thor apparently wields a hammer also, but not for the benefit of mankind as in slaying hostile forces. HIS hammer seems to be directly aimed at the destruction of your Constitution AND the voting rights of the American people.

You beat me to it about the beady cross eyes…..that was the first thing I noticed when looking at his pic. Great minds think alike… 🙂
This progressive concentration on facial features such as mustaches and on names never ceases to amaze me…
EAC votes not to review the standards of electronic computer vote counting machines,..

EAC votes not to review the standards of electronic computer vote counting machines,..
Old news… 🙂
The next day they passed the measure 8-4… with the caveat that current machines would not be required to be decertified even if they were untrustworthy.
It’s all about the money… the money wasted on the false promises 0f e-voting corporations… the money that is not there now to “upgrade” the machines to even use the faulty paper rolls… but the election officials will throw fits and sandbag any rulings that might intimate to the public that they failed miserably in their duty in allowing the problem to get this far.
I’m not hearing much kudos to New York for deliberately dragging their feet this far in defying the wrong-headed federal mandate to adopt these machines… 😉
ZAP: Actually, I wasn’t finished…maybe he likes to be called “Thor” by Hannity, when he’s locked in Hannity’s basement with a leather mask and ball/chain in his mouth.
“Thor” is a “rent-a-fake-expert”, to go along with other GOP fake news NVR’s, faking the status on the Iraq War, fake WMD’s to kill hundreds-of-thousands of innocents, fake stolen elections, fake everything from anything to do with our fake government. Fake news on FOX news, push fake news through the CMSM with Limbaugh and Hannity, fake ties between Sadaam and Al Queda…then when you point out this “fakeness”, they were calling us “unAmerican”, “unPatriotic”, “against the troops”, etc… How ironic, that the REAL people who are “against the troops” are calling US “against the troops”…the people who are pointing out the troops are dying for no reason.
Where’s all the pro-Iraq War people, who smeared us? Now that even the GOP shill Baker is saying we’re losing?
Someone should do some intensive background investigation on “Thor”, and you’ll probably find out this man should be in slammer.
Get “Thor” out of Hannity’s basement and into the slammer! Before he crops us somewhere else as an “expert”…
All these creeps look the same. “Thor” looks like Rick Santorum: the large forehead and beady cross-eyes from inbreeding.
How about some MORE GOP hypocrisy? Cheney’s daughter is in a lesbian marriage, and the gay couple is expecting a child. How does her father and the anti-gay GOP party reconcile this hypocrisy? What does FOX, Limbaugh, Hannity, and the evangelical leaders have to say about this? Nothing, because they wish it would go away, because of the hypocrisy of the party of used car salesmen.
I want Dick “big Dick” Cheney to say either:
1. I am against my daughter being in a lesbian marriage and it’s sickening that a lesbian couple is expecting a child.
or
2. My daughter has every right to be in a lesbian marriage, as well as having a child. I have been LYING to the voters all these years, simply driving the “anti-gay” wedge into the voters for political purposes. Personally? I am very happy for my daughter.
In the CMSM, are they interviewing Republicans and evangelical leaders to reconcile this hypocrisy? Is FOX news covering Cheney’s daughter throwing the finger to everything the religious right stands for? Is this story being covered by Limbaugh and Hannity?
The Republicans were never, are not, and never will be, “conservative”…they were always, and will continue to be, the party of the rich and corporate America. And they will continue to LIE to get votes.
I would like Dick Cheney to publicly denounce what his daughter is doing…OR…tell us he’s been lying all these years.
Well well well, lookie here! The chickens come home to roost! Comedian Chris Rock said, something along these lines, “If you hate gays, you’re daughter’s gonna be gay!!!”
Dick Cheney’s party has made a point of making things difficult for gays, and now? His daughter has to live under those rules!!!!!!!!
We love irony…here on the Brad Blog…

Just wondering…where does fat f*ck hypocrite Jerry Falwell and senile Pat “let’s take out Hugo Chavez” stand on this??? Corporate-Christ used car salesmen…
What’s the “latest”…from Robertson’s religious channel on this???????

Don’t forget the fake:
The Kiss My Ass Foundation,
The Eat This Institute,
The The Screw You Committee,
The Piss On You Trust,
The Up Yours Organization,
The You’re Next Society,
The Take That Center,
and of course the
The Election Assistance Commission
Actual organizations should be the more angry then I am, but they’re probably not.
By the way, I think Pat Robertson said “let’s take him eauwt”, (Transilation: Let’s kill him!)
Remember I said all these guys, Thor Santorum etc…, have large foreheads and beady crosseyes? Take a look at the picture of this guy…McCain hires the “Call Me” Ford campaign dirty tricks artist…take a look at what this guy looks like…

…and the award for “largest neo-con forehead” goes to…drum roll please…Tony Snow!!!
http://www.txcn.com/sharedconte...42606snow2.jpg
John “Captain Kangaroo” Bolton was quoted as saying, “You can lop 10 stories off Tony Snow’s forehead, and it wouldn’t affect anything.”
Tony Snow’s forehead is so large, he has to climb a stepladder in the morning to comb his hair! OOOH! OUCH!!!!!!
See Karl Rove, too, for another neo-con with a large forehead and beady crosseyes. What exactly is up w/dat???
