Oct 12, 2008 - *This was a great video. People need to know, things like this are happening in America. I just wish this issue was important to voters more often than every four years. There was foul play that may have won the presidential elections at least twice before. It never needs to happen again.

Oct 12, 2008 - Great work as usual, Greg. Your investigative skills are already legendary. But, I still have one burning question (okay, maybe its just cooling embers, but still)..... Ever hear of rogaine?? Honest, it's just a thought. It could be perhaps a big boost in your career. Who knows?? You might just get that corner office next to Heidi Fleiss.

grudgekeeper Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - This has always been more or less a well known issue here in the states. It is pretty embarassing though that its being shown to the world. All the critisism we have passed out about other countries elections and them being unfair its amazing we cant even make our own elections fair. This is a pretty disturbing thing.

essentialsun Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - Americas Greatness needs to come from 'We the People' not from improper fraudulent elections. Just remain supportive of each other as AMERICANS and we'll be fine, no matter who gets voted in.

breaks0 Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - It has? Maybe to those populations who are targeted (African Americans and some latinos). Believe me, most white people don't know, like the vast majority. That's why it's imperative to really make this film (and Greg's forthcoming article w/RFK, Jr in Rolling Stone) go viral. Like as Viral as either Taser Boy video (Greg Tie-in) or the Amy Goodman arrest video. It's too late to change the laws and felonies allowing this to happen, but it might not be too late to steal your vote back!

Oct 13, 2008 - If you watch the Election Files (also viewable here on YT) David gives a very detailed explanation to Greg as to why he was fired, as well as what he was asked to do under pressure from Rove, Senator Domenici and why ultimately Bush pulled the trigger on him. You might also wanna ask House Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers about this, he has all Greg's evidence. He just isn't doing much about it, even though it's an impeachable offense.

TheDecidicator Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - How would he know why he was fired? His "superiors" are not talking (not responding to subpoenas)...And Congress is letting them get away with not responding. You mean Rep. Heather Wilson. And Senator - Pete Domenici. Domenici was found unethical. Mr. Igesias sounds like a honest man...

Oct 14, 2008 - Republicans figure if they can scare enough voters and shave 5% off Obama's lead they can make up the difference. Any difference after that can be made up with hacked voting machines. Obama has to go into Nov 4th with a 10% lead. POLLS ARE WORTHLESS WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH REPUBLICANS. I'll believe the final poll on Nov 5th.

tuscantwelve Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - Good point, but any amount can be made up with hacked voting machines, which is what really scares the fuck out of me.

Tht1Gy Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - You're gonna bust his chops for hair loss? Give me a break!

Tht1Gy Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - ... Land of the free and home of the brave? Land of the the fee and home of the (wage) slaves!

toeg1 Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - Hey, All I'm saying is that a mop may be better served atop his dome, that's all. As far as this election is concerned, it's all rigged. The polls have to be at least a little closer, but that's doable. Bush was way behind Kerry as well at this point.

danger0usknowledge Says:

Oct 15, 2008 - Same here.

jynxvox Says:

Oct 16, 2008 - Damn. Shit is Fucked up.

karlmahlmann Says:

Oct 18, 2008 - There is a real problem with ACORN and massive voter fraud. The FBI is investigating. This video is mis-information. Its purpose is to confuse the issue and make it look like there is abuse on both sides. This video has no substance, just innuendo and smear tactics. The criminals who commit voter fraud should all be put away for a very long time.

SinzyG Says:

Oct 18, 2008 - The whole Acorn issue is a smokescreen made up by the republican party.

Tillerized Says:

Oct 19, 2008 - Another reason I'm glad I'm Canadian. I feel sorry for those of you who live in the US. We had a case of voter fraud in our election last week...we had nobody who could run our country so the election was a fraud.

10aces Says:

Oct 20, 2008 - Yeah, the BBC has an ulterior motive in deciding the outcome of the 2008 election. This video is much more reasonable than the ACORN propaganda that's been flooding into American homes recently. Lay off the Kool-Aid. Find yourself some wine.

MentalSelfMutilation Says:

Oct 20, 2008 - So.. which video's "part 2" of the first part? There's another that's 20 minutes longer than this and different..

angiersj Says:

Oct 20, 2008 - Smear tactics? There is actual tangable proof of voter disenfrencment.

Teedar Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - Remember, remember the 5th of November the day the election was bought, from fraud at the polls through homes foreclosed, was the day our country was lost.

Hereticbooks Says:

Oct 28, 2008 - ...BRILLIANT Teedar...taken from the British Nursery Rhyme regarding Guy Fawkes....nice one...truly...

Hereticbooks Says:

Oct 28, 2008 - I hope you don't mind, but I've copied and saved it...

baracine Says:

Oct 29, 2008 - The US are not a true democracy: 1. Presidential elections are rigged. 2. No unbiased medias. 3. Voters are intimidated and their right to vote is stolen. 4. Electronic voting machines leave the door open to undetectable voter fraud. 5. No one does anything about the abuses that can be detected and prevented. 6. Republicans are actually using political means to make sure that these abuses are perpetuated and become the law of the land: no voting rights for Blacks, the poor or Natives.

Hereticbooks Says:

Oct 29, 2008 - No one seems to remember that John McCain was Acorn's key note speaker in 2006? so what made him turn against Acorn? Perhaps because he's LOSING....therefore has to make up some vast conspiracy perpetuated by the other side?
