If this election was going to be stolen, then the dirty deed had to be done under cover of darkness. These demonstrations were clearly designed to intimidate and to prevent a simple count of votes from going forward. Shortly afterwards, one of the commissioners said, and I quote, 'We would be up there now counting,' end quote, if it weren't for those objections. He then joined his colleagues in deciding to give up the effort to count the ballots altogether. This is a time to honor the rule of law, not surrender to the rule of the mob.
Every demonstration is orchestrated, by someone, or some core group of people.
To allow only un orchestrated demonstrations would be somewhat disingenuous, to say the least. The New York Times attributed the turnout to the influence of Cuban-American Radio Mambi. As usual, the liberal media completely missed the real story, which is that a good part of the national reaction to the Gore coup was indeed spontaneous, entirely unconnected to the regular Republican party apparatus, and was organized largely over the Internet by a virtual community of conservative and libertarian activists. It is, in large part, due to the cyber-activist angle of this story that the Old Media missed it. These guys hate the Internet, they hate conservatives, and could care less that a virtual community of right-wing activists is burgeoning in cyberspace.
