The following is from the blog Always on Watch. Apparently Silverfiddle is a contributor. I thought his blog was Western Hero, though the last post there is from 2017. While ALL the recent AOW posts are by Mr. Fiddle. Looks like he's taken over.
In my comment the line "admitted republican strategy" links to a blog post on bluenc. I used this link because it was one of the first results when I Googled for the Paul Weyrich video. The video is right there at the top of the post. And really ALL I wanted Mr. Fiddle to look at. Instead he dismisses what I wrote by pointing out the post is from 2011. So the f*ck what?
The Paul Weyrich video is even older. Paul Weyrich passed away in 2008, but driving down the voter populance remains the primary republican strategy. Why they hate mail-in voting.
I should have went to YouTube to find this video initially.
| Paul Weyrich, "father" of the right-wing movement and co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, Moral Majority and various other groups tells his flock that he doesn't want people to vote. He complains that fellow Christians have "Goo-Goo Syndrome": Good Government. Classic clip from 1980. This guy still gives weekly strategy sessions to Republicans nowadays. The entire dialog from the clip:
"How many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome -- good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down". This video was produced by People For the American Way. Posted to YouTube 6/8/2007. http://www.pfa :) |
Mr. Fiddle disallowed new comments, so who knows how he would have continued to deny the fact that republicans engage in voter suppression. He still could have used the "it's old" canard to dismiss my point. Despite the fact that republicans attempted to use the pandemic as an excuse to suppress the vote bigly. And, when that didn't work out quite as planned, their Orange Turd leader shifted to lying about how Democrats were going to use mail-in ballots to steal the election.
This is a lie the pro-Dotard blogger Minus FJ really likes. The "GOP" doesn't suppress the African American vote. It's actually incredibly easy for Black people to get to the polls to cast their ballots for the candidate of their choice.
The following SNL Video makes light of that lie, showing just how "easy" it is for urban denizens to vote. As a commenter on the YouTube page points out, one of the stroller's mention that they are from Texas, "...is a direct reference to Harris County (Houston) TX. -1.4 million voters relegated to ONE drop-in ballot box! Voter suppression personified!"
Keep tooting your propaganda horns, conseratives. We know you lie. Why we will continue to fight to make voting easier. And you will continue to fight to make voting harder. Fortunately changing demographics favor the Democratic Party. Though we should expect their "extensive voter fraud" bullshit to continue. Which they will use (and are using) as an excuse to make voting as difficult to impossible as they can.
btw, "Demoncrap"? What's a "Demoncrap"? Is Silverfiddle a QAnon adherent who believes Democrats are pedophiles who drink the blood of children? I would have said no, but you'd need a pretty extreme reason to believe Democrats are demons, yes?
