Frankly I buy it. I just see it happenning so easily. But, I step down, as Politics (21st century Religion) is not my cup of tea.

I'm the last person to defend the Kennedys as a whole. Lots of weird stuff there. But Robert Kennedy Jr. is respected by just about everyone. The smear-by-association thing doesn't work with RFK Jr., JaTo. He is by all accounts a man of great integrity.
Rolling Stone publishes some serious articles. Can you provide us with some examples of false stories they have printed?

Logical problem with your point here: the election was certified a long time ago, before most of these facts were known. You need to factually address the substance of the article, JaTo, or you're just slinging mud.

What's he done lately, apart from keeping a wind generation project out of his own back yard, despite his Sierra Club background and sworn environmentalist leanings?
Integrity, indeed. He's a stalwart of "not in my back yard" integrity...
Pardon me if I find the author and the publisher a touch suspect and that's despite his obvious political stripes.

LOL! Can you provide me with an article in Rolling Stone that doesn't come from deep left-field? Lets just say I don't typically go to a music glam magazine for weighty political fare...
Why didn't The Atlantic or The New Republic pick this one up???

BS; there were 2 hearings soon after the election over this mess and there were plenty of rumblings from the Democrats over the exit poll discrepancies in many places.

That's what's wrong with society today.....
It's a "I think this way prove me wrong", mentaltity.
Instead you should develop your way of thinking through reaserch and then try to prove yourself wrong.
If you can't find information to dispell your theory after searching, then use that to develope your opinion.
I think contours suck,
Prove me wrong.

Prove me wrong.
Contours do suck. And, we spend money to make them even better suckers! My first mod was a KKM. Then my contour could suck even more. Some people aren't happy with sucking though. They feel Contours should blow. First they tried mechanical devices to blow into the suck hole. Then someone found a better way. Now there are Contours that have air driven things that blow even more effeciently into the suck holes.
I can't prove you wrong Bird! Youe are correct sir. At least in my opinion.
I can have an opinion can't I. Do I need proof to support my opinion?

C'mon, you guys. You're attacking me for raising this issue, but none of you have given ANY factual reasons for your opinions. Surely you must have some logical reasons.

Facts YOU raised? YOUR analysis? You're right, any ninny can blurt out an opinion just as any ninny can post a news article from a music mag from a Kennedy and say the case is closed.

This part is true. Now they just make stuff up. The New York Times, LA Times, and CBS have all been caught doing it since GWB took office. I believe that those are three of the biggest media outlets in the country, if not the world, right?

And it was posted on the internet so I KNOW ITS TRUE!!!
sad state of affairs when stuff like this can spread like wildfire through those that will say "open your eyes.. see the truth.. don't be so gullible" and all the while they are doing that exact opposite by spreading this crap.
Don't get me wrong, now.. If this had come up for Kerry (had he won the election) and 6 years later people said this.. I'd be saying the same thing.. its still crap (the equivalent of grocery store rack tabloids, really), regardless of who its about.
