More scaremongering, courtesy of Fox News

Another item from Fox News that ran today. William Gheen, head of on outfit called "Americans for Legal Immigration", claims that the Department of Justice is going to help encourage illegal immigrants to vote. He cites the "Democratic political machinery" is all set to rig this election in the face of a popular "revolution":



It is strange that Fox is spending so much time dwelling on voter fraud. The Republicans was almost surely take the House and much of the Senate, so couldn't the voter fraud allegations be turned the other way?

On the other hand, you might argue that they have nothing to lose. The poll numbers do indicate huge gains for the Republicans, so any other result could be fodder for conspiracy theories. And it's probably a good idea to maintain their base audience in a state of fear, both so they'll go out and vote, and also so that they'll continue to monitor the station for future news on those dastardly Democrats post-election.

  1. Missouri is famous for having "dead" voters in the cities, misleading signs, and outright fraud.

  2. Consider for just a moment that you might be doing the same thing that you are accusing Fox News of doing. Maybe you should just try to understand why people in this wonderful nation could be really afraid of.

  3. Thanks for the comments. I'm not saying that voter fraud does not happen, but what I am saying is that you shouldn't make allegations of fraud when there is no evidence, like Mr. Gheen is doing. I'm sure that MSNBC is making similar claims but the other way around, mind you.
