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.

The Tea Party movement wants to know what you think of it
On one of my quasi-regular visits to the Fox News website, I came across the following ad:
At first I thought that the Yes/No thing was a put-on. I figured clicking anywhere would take me to the same page on the website being advertised. But it turns out I was wrong. Clicking on "No" takes you to this page, which I've screen captured in part below:
Nice to know that my vote was counted, though I don't exactly know who's doing the counting, or why. And I guess I support "The Rule of Law", and have no problem with "Life, Liberty And Pursuit of Happiness". Does that make me 28.57% Tea Partier?
Oh yes, and not to be picky, but there shouldn't be an apostrophe in "it's".
Now, clicking on "Yes" brings you to this page, which I've captured in part below:
Really guys, you don't need to Capitalize Every Word. Interesting how Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer are mentioned -- I guess they've given up Christine O'Donnell's chances at getting a Senate seat in Delaware given her dismal poll results. Can't win them all, I suppose.
So, what, do I give the site credit for its democratic approach to advertising? I guess so. But that website really needs work.
