    O'Keefe's Latest Fraudulent 'Voter Fraud' Video Even More Fraudulent Than We Originally Reported
    O'Keefe's Latest Fraudulent 'Voter Fraud' Video Even More Fraudulent Than We Originally Reported
    On Tuesday, we dismantled the latest absurd attempt by pretend journalist and real federal criminal James O'Keefe to demonstrate the rampant "voter fraud" that he and his Republican Party claim to be so pervasive in these United States so as to require polling place Photo ID restrictions guaranteed to prevent little, if any, voter fraud at all, while serving to deter hundreds of thousands of legal (disproportionately Democratic-leaning) voters from being

    Unlikely Supreme Court Will Overturn 9th Circuit Prop 8 Unconstitutionality Ruling
    Unlikely Supreme Court Will Overturn 9th Circuit Prop 8 Unconstitutionality Ruling
    Guest blogged by Ernest A. Canning On Tuesday, Feb. 7, in Perry vs. Brown [PDF], a divided three judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeal ruled that California Proposition 8's ban on same-sex marriage violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The majority opinion decided an issue that was so narrow and so tightly crafted to meet the criteria of a 1996 U.S.

        Brad, I totally agree with your take on this and I think it could have implications here in WA state later on if it goes the way you think. Our legislature just passed same-sex marriage and it will be signed into law next week. The right ...wing has already jumped on this and the Mormons are financing a petition drive to start as soon as it's signed. If they succeed in getting a ban on the ballot, and if it wins in the general election (with all that outside money it may), then it too will end up in the 9th circuit. If the case is drawn on similar lines, it will most likely go the same way as CA, don't you think?See More

        ‎@ForThe Earthy - I've long said its over for the opponents I marriage equality. At this point it's just a matter of time and a question of how many folks thy wish to punish and for how long. But this is a fight the good guys won because, i...n the end, rights will always win out. That said, that particular piece was written by The BRAD BLOG's crack legal correspondent. So kudos (and/or blame) should go to him, not me :-)See More

    O'Keefe Releases Another New Video Fraudulently Purporting to Illustrate 'Voter Fraud' in Minnesota
    Convicted federal criminal James O'Keefe and his band of co-conspirators at his ironically named Project Veritas outfit have another new video in their "Voter Fraud Investigation" series out. So that means, naturally, they're misleading the public again. This time, O'Keefe's video portends to show some of his courageous, unnamed and unseen cohorts at various voter registration centers in Minnesota, asking whether they can have voter registration forms to take home to "Thomas

    Nevada is No Iowa: Silver State's GOP Caucuses Fail
    Iowa's "First-in-the-Nation" Caucuses managed to publicly tally some 122,000 hand-marked paper ballots at 1,774 caucus sites within an hour or two after votes were cast, in such a way that any problems or typos in the state GOP's reporting of the results could be quickly verified by many different sources as inaccurate, thanks to the thousands who were able to oversee the hand-counting on caucus night. This year Iowa had the tightest

    The chief election official in the very first state in the nation to implement polling place Photo ID restrictions --- under the guise of preventing "voter fraud" --- has been found guilty of three counts of felony voter fraud today. In an early morning verdict following 12 hours of deliberation, a jury in Hamilton County found Indiana's Republican Secretary of State Charlie White guilty of three counts of voter fraud related to

    Hilarious. For some odd reason, the latest super-secret Koch Brothers Winter Seminar, once again near Palm Springs this year, decided to up its already tight security big time. Not that that kept ace reporter Lee Fang from finding out about it and heading out there, as detailed in his new exclusive today: The summit, organized by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, was cloaked in secrecy....

    EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Officials Confirm Criminal Election Fraud Investigation of Gingrich Campaign
    Had the same thing been carried out by a worker for the now-defunct ACORN, Republicans --- and even Newt Gingrich --- would have called it massive "voter fraud". But the 1,500 acts of fraud, by Gingrich's own admission, were carried out by a worker hired by his campaign, so it seems the media have barely noticed it. Nonetheless, The BRAD BLOG has received confirmation from two different state agencies that the 1,500

        ‎@Johnny Beacham: the guy who weaponized pepper to turn it into a spray, denounced the use of pepper spray by the Davis campus police (as well as other instances of its use during Occupy events), citing the laws that state that it's to be u...sed on someone only when that person is about to inflict physical harm on someone else, or on themselves. The Davis police lied about the reason for pepper spraying the protesters, claiming the police felt threatened. The protesters were simply sitting on the ground, not moving, and unarmed, as is normal in many protests. The crowd supporting the protesters was behind the protesters, and there was ample unoccupied space in front of front of this group of protesters, where the police were free to stay or even leave if they chose. After the pepper spraying, the support crowd pointed out to the police that the police were under no threat, and were free to go. Upon hearing this, the police talked among themselves a minute or so, decided that was the case, and then they left. The Davis campus police accomplished nothing except to antagonize a nation. If the campus police had acted normally and within the law, they'd have simply arrested the sitting protesters, who wouldn't have resisted in any significant way.

        So no, the Davis protesters didn't "deserve" to be pepper sprayed. It was completely outside the lawful use of pepper spray--it was what's called a grossly asymmetrical use of force. Kind of like what's happening in Syria right now.        See More

    The fully-militarized, post-9/11 Big Government Police State in these United States continues unabated, even as we've had to turn our attention here, of late, away from the Occupy Movement to cover the pretend democracy known as the 2012 Presidential Race. Because there has yet to be any accountability for the unprovoked violence against peaceful Occupy demonstrators by the Oakland Police Department last October, nor for its Acting Police Chief Howard Jordan, who...
