Republicans Heart Voter Suppression

Josh Marshall has big news on the New Hampshire phone jamming case in which two Repugs have been convicted and in which big fish James Tobin has been indicted. It appears that the Republican National Committee has paid some $700,000 in Tobin's legal fees. I guess loyalty among Republicans is priceless. Its ceretainly valued above integrity.

But where is the outrage at the long list of Republican disenfranchisement efforts?

In 2000, we had widespread voter irregularities in Florida which favored Repugs. In 2004, the Repugs attempted their dirty tricks again only to be caught red-handed.

But what do we get from the right? You get pieces from bloggers like Rightwingsparkle claiming voter suppression by Republicans is just a myth. Ironically, the piece is titled Just Repeat the Lie and contains this doozy of a lie:

In fact out of the six-month investigation by the U.S. Commission of Civil Rights and also an investigation by the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Dept. They found there was absolutely no truth to any of those allegations, not one person who was intimidated or had their vote stolen. There was no disenfranchisement, no truth to any of those allegations. You didn't know that??? Well that's exactly what the democrats wanted. Better for them to spread dishonest rumors than to be happy that no suppression was found.

Well ... uhmm ... actually ... the Civil Rights Commission found widespread irregularities and disenfranchisement including specifically detailed instances (as contained in the link above regarding Florida 2000).

So I pointed out Sparkle's misrepresentation in her comments section and received this reply: Macswain, your link showed nothing but the material the commission looked at.

Of course, this is a blatant falsehood that leaves one to ponder whether she is dishonest or delusional?
