Update on the Election Fraud story about which I posted earlier. It seems that Mark Crispin Miller wanted to comment on the Salon story “debunking” Rolling Stone and Robert Kennedy. Salon refused to print his letter to them, and essentially cut off all discussion on the topic. Well, I’m “Not Ready to Make Nice” on this one. Go here to read Mark Crispin Miller’s open letter to Salon.

Excerpt:

What explains this eagerness to kill all conversation on an issue of such grave importance? This is not a question just about Farhad Manjoo and/or Salon, because your way of dealing, or not dealing, with this all-important matter has been typical of the entire US political establishment throughout Bush/Cheney’s reign. This general silence has prevented us from facing an enormous threat to our democracy, which is now at unprecedented risk.

Original Rolling Stone article which is causing all the fuss: Was the 2004 Election Stolen?

Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters in Ohio from casting ballots or having their votes counted — enough to have put John Kerry in the White House. BY ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

BTW: Omerta is the mafia “law of silence”. Read Crispin’s open letter to know why I added this.
