[Nordic]

unbefuckinglievable

Once again, the RW manages to split the American people right down the middle.

Go and vote if you want.

1. It's unfuckingbelieveable people take these CNN polls seriously. n/t

[Nordic]

7. they're an indicator

or are you falling into the "hands over the ears yelling "BLAH BLAH BLAH!"" trap?

Cognitive dissonance is for GOPers, not us.

Get real. The GOP propaganda machine is alive and well.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

9. An "indicator" of what, exactly? That online polls can be easily....

...manipulated by those voting multiple times, and that some people can be fooled ALL of the time.

Why don't YOU get real?

[Nordic]

14. it's just so nice to be attacked for passing along information

in the spirit of sharing.

Where in my post did I say I took the online poll seriously.

You are stating the obvious, and attacking me.

If you're in a bad mood about it, don't take it out on me?

Capiche?

[krkaufman]

23. You *did* imply that you took the poll seriously.

Here's your text...

unbefuckinglievable... Once again, the RW manages to split the American people right down the middle.

This comment expresses the opinion that the poll accurately reflects public opinion -- rather than it being a wildly unscientific, easily-freeped opinion poll open to anyone with Internet access (including members of Al Qaeda, who would likely want to skew the poll in favor of Bush).

[Media_Lies_Daily]

30. You expressed your personal opinion that clearly gave the...

...impression that you believed the poll was genuine. Would you like to read it again? Here it is:

"CNN poll -- 50% believe they're "forgeries"

Go and vote if you want."

[Nordic]

35. it's only credible as an indicator

that the GOP propaganda machine has an affect on people.

If it had zero credibility, the numbers would be more like 80 - 20.

The gop's interest is in splitting the electorate and fanning the flames of hatred among us.

[0007]

31. After the freeps get through with voting, the numbers will change

[Kanary]

44. I'm with you on this! There's a lot of DUers attacking DUers today....

There is always a lot, but it's getting to the point of ridiculousness.

There are very good ways of making use of anger..... attacking your friends is not one of 'em........

Kanary

[Media_Lies_Daily]

47. I never attack my friends...

...apply any meaning to my comment that you wish.

[underpants]

11. No they shape/direct opinion

They are at all accurate but that is not the actual effect of them-people hear that XX% say this and think that there must be something to it.

[Nordic]

15. exactly.

:eyes:

Duh!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

2. Oh, you mean the 50% represented by Freepers who voted...

...multiple times?

Online polls are just as credible as anything else coming from the NeoCon direction.

[Nordic]

10. did I say I thought they were credible?

No. I'm just passing along info.

Jeez.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

26. Yes, as a matter of fact...you did give that impression, and I'm not...

...the only one in this thread who had that impression.

[katym]

3. done...having problems with it going through :::kicks CNN::::: nt

[nostamj]

4. and the TRUTH is that 50% believe CNN

is telling them they're forged! and, CNN is 'the most trusted name in news' - so who are they to argue?

unbefuckinglievable LYING WH asslickers!

[Nordic]

8. stories that start "questions are raised about ......"

That's the red flag right there.

"questions are raised about George W. Bush's sexuality".

"questions are raised about Rumsfeld's sanity ...."

You can do that with anything. CNN does it, they did it with the Smear Boat Veterans and they're doing it now.

What's funny is my wife is furiously typing an e-mail right now to my in-laws (her brothers and sister), all of whom are Bush supporters, all of whom have drank the kool-aid and all of whom do NOT want to hear the truth.

[ProfessorPlum]

5. Well, that settles it then

We have left the world of objective truth far, far behind, if we were ever really there.

Welcome to the world where only the truths that you like are truths, and only then as long as you find them convenient.

It's nice to know that by posing the question, CNN lends credence to this whisper campaign by the Freepers. Thanks, CNN!

[proud patriot]

6. I voted

:hi:

[ChrisK]

12. What I guess I find funny is...

The folks had to use the Internet to vote..the same Internet thats been showing what Bush has been doing to this country and they STILL miss the mark.

One will believe only what one wants....

[tandot]

13. I've just seen it posted on freerepublic

all the media outlets have been overwhelmed with emails from those morons and most polls will be freeped.

It is a true shame that we can't organize like those idiots. Compare how long it took to discredit the SwiftVet liars for Bush and how fast their claim that those Bush documents are forgeries was repeated by the media. Eight hours?

Journalists don't seem to do their own "research" anymore. They now rely on emails from right-wing nuts.

[Nordic]

16. yes it IS a shame we can't organize like those dolts

Why is that?

They freep Yahoo stories immediately, even stories about our own WAR DEAD, which is just pathetic and disgusting.

I'm not suggesting we waste our time sitting around deleting cookies and voting over and over, but it shows the level of theire bee-like (lemming-like) mentality, and it DOES work to some extent.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. They are squeakier than we are.

[Catherine Vincent]

34. I think a lot of them are shut-ins, so they probably live on the internet.

[SarahB]

46. We cannot organize as well because...

We are not pod people or Borg drones with one unified thought process. Progressive people think things through and make conclusions for themselves.

[Hubert Flottz]

17. We're winning the popular vote!

Wolf prolly voted 5,000 times!

[wryter2000]

18. Voted

:kick:

[BrotherBuzz]

19. Fifty percent WANT to believe they're forgeries...

This is the same fifty percent that can't explain why the White House had copies. :crazy:

[KansDem]

20. Wow! 50/50

Yes 50% 22219 votes

No 50% 22085 votes

Total: 44304 votes

With "yes" ahead by 135 votes.

Looks like the November election...

[tom_paine]

21. I have long maintained there is no "lies" and "truth" in Imperial Amerika

Thanks, Busheviks and your Psychomanipulators.

This proves it.

Yes, the White house, yielding to a lawsuit, has released forgeries.

I'd say this was incredible and that the assertions (did the White House release foregries, will NOT be a question asked) make no sense.

But of course, nothing in Imperial Amerika is surprising.

Nothing.

No Soviet bootlciking, no Imperial Lie, would surprise me.

The Busheviks and their pals at CNNFAUXMSRNC etc, could sell the Jewish Blood Libel if they so chose and 50% would believe.

50%.

Make no mistake.

And even though this poll has likely been PROFESSIONALLY FREEPED with so much on the line and the "election" so close, it doesn;t matter.

People aren't necessary to the running of Imperial Amerika, a Virtual Nation, anyway.

[Gothmog]

22. Still 50/50

Keep on voting.

[amber dog democrat]

24. still 50/50 but the yes vote is ahead.

yes
  50%
24874 votes





No
  50%
24857 vote

[Cat Atomic]

25. Jesus- political debate in this country is so fucked.

Conservatives are allowed to define the debate here every time. If Cheney came out and said all Democrats are aliens from the Planet Fruitcake, the headlines would read "Democrats' origins in dispute".

[against all enemies]

27. Again they have changed the subject. It's not about the memos

it's about W getting preferential treatment and lying about his service. The press is out to help Bush in this farce.

[mmonk]

28. people on the right WILL believe

they are forgeries if they were told that by the people they follow. They still believe Hussein was involved in 9/11 for crying out loud.

[wildflower]

29. Trying to remember, did they have a similar poll about the Swiftboat ads?

And what was the result?

-wildflower

[Catherine Vincent]

32. Internet polls are unscientific. They're basically useless.

[Karenina]

33. This is *media masturbatory

BUSCHEIßE. Don't swallow that stuff. Es ist giftig.

The information provided on RATE THE ARTICLE-VOTE NOW sites is determind by how many of a particular persuasion are able to sit at computer repeatedly clicking a mouse. Heh? :freak:

[Carson]

36. Flame away, but

I see little difference between the forgery claim and many of the wilder conspiracy theories floating around DU.

Just my oh-so-humble opinion, of course.

[drdigi420]

38. the biggest conspiracy theories come from the right wing

IE:
Iraq and Osama conspired to take down the WTC

Black ppl conspire to rip off whitey via welfare


its all bullshit, but this is america, where image matters and substance is irrelevant

[Cat Atomic]

40. The difference is this:

Wild DU conspiracies don't get mainstream media play. They aren't mentioned in the mainstream.

Right-wing wacko garbage like this is not only mentioned, it defines the debate.

[wrate]

37. Last weekend I saw a conference on CSPAN with Krugman, Wilson....

and two other guys. One was the person who wrote the book named House of Bush, House of Saud.

One of them said (I don't remember who) that the only way of getting rid of * and the NeoCon mafia was a MEGA-Watergate. I know see he was right. Only a super scandal that meant jail terms for all this people will get America rid of them. Facts, truth, morality, fairness, integrity will not get this people out.

[Awsi Dooger]

39. 50% believe they are below-average forgeries

The other half can't read

[keischin]

41. What did you expect?

What do you expect from a news service that is being taken over by the Saudi Arabian "Kingdom Holding Company"

[SoCalDem]

42. That 50% probably would think this one is real

[vetwife]

43. Yeah but 50 percent believe CNN is a real news channel too .

48. I guess while you were constructing your very first DU post, you...

...failed to notice Dan Rather's commentary tonight.

Maybe you ought to catch up before you try post #2.
