Its one of the nastiest voter suppression schemes weve seen: this week, in Black and Latino neighborhoods in Ohio and Wisconsin, an anonymous group started running outrageous billboards which try to scare people away from voting.
Allowing an anonymous advertiser to create an atmosphere of fear around voting just as the early voting period begins is unacceptable. Clear Channel has rejected billboard ads many times in the past. Please join us in demanding that Clear Channel immediately take down these offensive and dangerous billboards.

(sort of kidding - still think we could have protests under the billboards. Signs could read Here's SOMEONE VOTED WHO WASN'T SUPPOSED TO: ROMNEY in MA MEANWHILE what's the fine for TAMPERING with Voter Registration?)

(7,887 posts)So it often puts the same words in a different light and we've had a lot of trolls lately. Everyone is a bit frazzled with all that going on plus the debates.

(7,515 posts)of what you said...not your spelling misadventure. I thought you were saying I had foolishly stated the obvious. I'm new to DU, as I'm sure you've noticed and there has been an abundance of posts criticizing newbies...I thought yours was another such post.

(7,887 posts)Then we can reference back to this OBVIOUS ODIOUS misdirection that they are "protesting too much" "making much ado about something" that RARELY happens except when rethugs are in charge of elections or election materials.
