I actually saw the guy mentioned in the article (or someone saying the same thing) on the news, talking about how accurate exit polls are, and how they were used to determine if third world elections were fraudulent, and how the exit polls showed Kerry winning. He said it all deadpan, without the obvious follow-up, and I hadn't heard anyone else say anything about it until now. I saw bits and pieces of another show in which they were discussing the 2000 election, and how many of the vote-counters were given nice cushy federal jobs.

This is just soooooo disturbing to me.

Book, as disturbing as possible acts of voting dishonesty can be, Robert Kennedy, the heroin addict, is a lousy liar. His cousin, Michael Skakel, was legally and justly convicted in the murder of Martha Moxley (d. 1975, age 15.)

http://p210.ezboard.com/fcampyskakelfrm71

After the conviction, RFK, drug addict, wrote an article about the murder which was full of innuendos, half truths, and blatant lies. It was "fact checked" and printed in the Atlanta Mouthly.

http://p210.ezboard.com/fcampyskakelfrm71

He pulled out the most ridiculous "suspects" and tried to cast any kind of light on anyone who might get his cousin off and many suspect save members of his family should his cousin decide to come clean.

http://p210.ezboard.com/fcampyskakelfrm71

He character-assassinated innocent people who are dead and can not defend themselves and some who are still living and have been the target of his selfish motives from 1975.

HE LIED.

HE LIED.

His latest, which he started spewing several years ago, is that there were two "real killers" at large, and while he claimed to have found them, did not turn their names in to the authorities until forced to do so mere weeks ago. According to HIS OWN CLAIMS, HE PROTECTED TWO BRUTAL MURDERERS FOR YEARS.

http://p210.ezboard.com/fcampyskakelfrm71

That means he is either a low life liar or a low life protector of killers. Either way he is a low life and a disgrace to his father's name.

http://p210.ezboard.com/fcampyskakelfrm71

This is how he stood behind a leaked draft of his "article", the "leaked" draft which contained even more viscious lies which were conveniently cut out before the "article" was printed when attorneys spoke up. Unfortunately, before he was shut down, a copy was, oh so conveniently, "leaked."

Quote by Robert F. Kennedy, heroin addict, disgraced attorney and fucking liar:

"You write down stuff you hear. You have older memories. You write them down. You check it later. I don't confirm or deny I wrote it. I won't say I wrote it."....Robert F Kennedy, November 15th, 2002

On that basis, he conducted a witch hunt to find anyone who would pay the price for his cousin's crime.

And keep in mind, he spent almost no time in the court room. What time he did there was spent reading the newspaper. He is uninformed and ruthless in his quest to get what he wants at costs to anyone else.

Please do not think that because he got it into Rolling Stone it has any semblance of truth. The man is a known liar who has the connections to get his word printed, no matter who gets burned in his wake.

PLEASE before you read ANYTHING this monster reads, think twice. He is a liar.

I actually didn't notice who it was written by at first... I did later, and found that interesting, 'cause I don't particularly follow politics much (and therefore fully admit I'm clueless).

This particular article was interesting to me because of what I mentioned at the beginning. I saw someone on the news make a similar claim the day after the election, in the briefest of ways, without actually making any accusations (even in his tone/expression), and I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it never did. This is the first thing I've seen that makes mention of that, and more.

A few people have been posting this around in their LJs, and I've read the threads on the ones I've seen. One comment cites a Salon article that apparently rebutts the above article - I'm trying to get them to email it to me, since I don't like signing up for sites in general, and you have to to read it. If I can get a copy of it, I'll post that, too.

Yes, please post it if you can. One of my goals in life is to make sure people know about this animal. He destroys lives at the drop of a hat to get what he wants.

On the other hand, I think I posted the link a few too many times. My bad. When I see him get 'air time' anywhere my blood boils.

I haven't read this article. I skimmed parts of it. I'm sure at CAMPy someone will read it and comment. It's sad and unsettling that he gets access to the press because of his name. He's a monster.

Here's a cute story about him. He advertises himself as an environmental attorney. He was doing a press tour once--rampaging about people who owned SUVs destroying the earth. {He owned one at the time. He thought it was okay for him, just not okay for everyone else. He really does have an incredible sense of entitlement.}

But I digress. He went on a radio talk show and ranted on and on about this. The host let him finish then asked if it was true he had flown in on a private jet and asked if it wasn't environmentally unsound to fly around in a private jet. He said he only used it for attending environmental events. No joke. He said that with a straight face. THEN told the guy it was a low blow.

And he knows all about blow.

Sorry about the spammed link. I'll try to delete some. I just like spreading the word about this guy. My sister thought the Skakel article was true because it was printed in the Atlantic Mouthly. If you check the link, the situation is complex. It was hard explaining to her just how horrible he is. I just like people to know whom they are dealing with.

p.s. i don't follow politics much at all. I only know about RFK because I have friends he has hurt. I would have believe him too. So I get very angry that he is allowed press room and afforded respectability because of who he is and the political clout he inherited.

hopefully that link will cut through the having to join stuff. If not lemme know and I'll copy and paste the whole article and e-mail it to ya.

Personally, Kennedy is a schmuck BUT in this instance, after reading the supporting articles he cited and doing a bit of research on my own. I agree with him. Kerry should have won. I have no doubt about that. Kennedy can continue to be a schmuck and that's ok... but I'll still agree with the last election being *highly* rigged towards the Shrub.

He's not only a shmuck, he's an attorney. From one of the articles he cited:

"It takes me about three times to explain" why the fraud allegation is untrue, said Kimberly Bartlett, community outreach specialist for the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. "You have to ask them why no top Democrat is making these charges."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A41106-2004Nov10.html

If he had proof, he could do something about it. He has the background, the money and the court system. Why doesn't he see wrong and try to right it? He can't. He has no proof. Robert F Kennedy doesn't act on proof. He acts on "indications."

I am a bleeding heart liberal and am appalled at the fact that we would elect George Bush once, much less twice (if we did.)

But, RFK wrote an appalling and false article in the Atlantic Mouthly for personal gain. He followed the article up with a press blitz and stood up and defended his statements against all evidence and with no debate. He knew his article was a lie and he continued to defend it. In the letters to the editor, fallacies and lies were pointed out. He never retracted or changed them.

His press push was not done with independent sources. He hand-picked places that would let him spread lies unchallenged.

To me, to be a qualified journalist one has to stand up to scrutiny and take responsibility for one's words. Until he does, not one word he says is valid. If Jimmy Carter published this, I would be all over it. Jimmy Carter did not. Why?

As I said, RFK is an attorney. If he has proof, he has options to rectify it and the responsibilty to do so. If he doesn't, then he's not much better than the people who perpetrated the scam.

"...as a former prosecutor, I understand the laws of evidence..." ~RFK

He understands the laws of evidence. When he doesn't use them, why would anyone believe him?

Thanks for the link Celticmistress and thanks, BookofMirrors, for posting this and allowing me the opportunity to educate people on RFK and his tactics.

I think the conversation re: election irregularities should continue but RFK is as useless as Limbaugh when it comes to believability in any discourse.
