Monday, November 1, 2004. I Was Bushwacked.
Last evening I got a call from a woman who asked me to "support" the Southern Illinois University School of Journalism where I received my masters degree in 1982. She asked for a donation this year for more than the $100 I had given for the last few years. I told her that I wasn't able to give anything this year because, "I have given all the extra money I had to John Kerry and the Democratic party."
She asked, "Why are you voting for John Kerry?"
I replied, "What!"
She repeated, more emphatically, "Why are voting for John Kerry?"
As I hung up the phone, I growled, "It's none of your God damned business."
The Bush-Rove mafia have infiltrated everywhere it seems. Do the Bush-Rove Nazis really think that by challenging people they are going to get them to change their minds or their votes? I think this kind of confrontational behavior reveals a deep anger and frustration that these messianic people have. They hate everyone who doesn't share their fundamentalist, simplistic, freedom-denying beliefs. Well, they are not going to get any money from me and they are not going to win tomorrow.
What happened to me was not as bad as some of the hateful, ruthless, angry scams others have suffered. The Daily Kos reports of one in Michigan:
"In a recording of a phone call played for The Associated Press, a young woman says: 'When you vote this Tuesday remember to legalize gay marriage by supporting John Kerry. We need John Kerry in order to make gay marriage legal for our city. Gay marriage is a right we all want. It's a basic Democrat principle. It's time to move forward and be progressive. Without John Kerry, George Bush will stop gay marriage. That's why we need Kerry. So Tuesday, stand up for gay marriage by supporting John Kerry.'"
This type of filthy crap is another reason why Kerry will win tomorrow, and when he does I hope he puts Karl Rove in Abu Ghraib...no just kidding, Abu Ghraib is too nice a place for Rove.
But one thing you can be certain of is that when Bush loses he and Rove will blame the media, not their right-wing conservative ideals or Nazi tactics to rape the election process (which an excellent story in the Atlantic Monthly pointed out was Rove's MO--he stole one in Alabama by using the courts). If for some unfathomable reason you are still undecided, read the Atlantic Monthly story before you vote.
