Michael Savage caller: Romney's friend rigged Ohio, progressives winning on strategy



Jeff Kuhner, columnist of the Washington Times and president of the Edmund Burke Institute, filled in for Michael Savage on March 6, 2012. This caller claimed that SCYTL, a Spanish-based company owned by Mitt Romney's friend, rigged the Ohio primary. Also, the caller admitted that the "secular progressive left" wins on strategy.

(By the way, Kuhner was raised in Montreal, if you're wondering where he's from.)

Kuhner responds (1:42): "The secular progressive left tactically is way out ahead of the conservative right, and that's been the case since FDR." Why? Liberals use the language of compassion and make people "addicted to government" through stimulus funds, other public works initiatives, and general welfare statism. Kuhner ranted so much that I have to put his other shocking story in another thread. But it's interesting to hear how conservatives admit they are struggling to appeal.

As far as this SCYTL company, I googled that name with Romney and found mostly blogs and conspiracy theory sites. But Black Box Voting reports that former Ohio Secy. of St. Ken Blackwell used that company for election results in 2004. Kuhner dismissed the notion that Romney rigged the Ohio primary and that Santorum was the real winner. This year, PBS also interviewed an SCYTL executive in a NewsHour story about Internet voting.

European to me. The "ing" sound, a number of things do not sound like a French accent at all.

Croatian fascists "fleeing" communist Yugoslavia is code for Nazi-sympathizing war criminals escaping before justice was carried out.

Ohio again?!!! They allowed one president to steal his second election, why not again. Please watch Florida in upcoming cycle. Remember Harris, Blackwell and electronic voting machines. Democracy?
