A Gore supporter stands watch as the contested ballots arrive in Tallahassee.

I went to the anti-Bush protest Saturday. I got there late, around four pm, so I missed the wall to wall Rent-A-Nazis, who had been there until 3:30pm, then left on the dot, because the G.O.P. (Greed Over Principles) is too cheap to pay overtime.

At the protest, I ran into a family I met at the Gore rally held on Halloween. The family consists of a father, a mother and two daughters. One daughter, Natasha, is nine years old. Her parents gave me a copy of Natasha's response to the Florida election. Then Natasha’s parents told me what happened to Natasha the previous Saturday, when Natasha, her parents and her sister arrived for what was supposed to be an anti-Bush rally.

To find a place to protest, they had to walk down the sidewalk past probably one hundred pro-Bush demonstrators. Immediately, one asked Natasha’s parents if they were on welfare. Natasha’s father, who makes a six figure income, said they were not on welfare. But the Bush supporter said "You look like you’re on welfare to me." And almost instantly these hundred or so pro-Bush protesters started yelling at Natasha’s family that they were on welfare.

Natasha’s father told me that he told the pro-Bush supporters that Dick Cheney had voted to support Apartheid. Natasha’s father said the Bush supporters all said that Apartheid was a good thing. Natasha’s father noticed one Bush supporter was wearing a big fur hat. Suspicious, Natasha’s father asked him if he were a Skinhead. The Bush supporter acknowledged that he was indeed a Skinhead, and started a prolonged rant about how great Hitler was.

Gore supporters outside the Vice President's official residence in Washington.

Natasha’s family finally found a spot away from the Bush supporters and held up their pro-Gore signs. One of the Bush supporters took offense, and held his sign over Natasha’s father’s head. Not wanting to be associated with the sentiments on the Bush supporter’s sign, Natasha’s father raised his own sign above his head, in front of the Bush supporter’s sign.

The Bush supporter hit Natasha’s father on the head with his own sign.

Natasha’s father was arguing with the Bush supporter about this and missed the next part, but Natasha’s mother saw it.

One of the Bush supporters ripped the pro-Gore sign out of Natasha’s hands.

Then the Bush supporter hit Natasha.

(I asked Natasha’s parents: How old was this guy, who hit your nine year old daughter? They said he was in his forties somewhere. I wondered, hearing Natasha’s story, was this forty something guy who hit a little girl for holding a pro-Gore sign the same guy who had talked to me, who had asked me if he looked like a thug, who had insisted that he was "a nice guy"?)

More Gore supporters in Tallahassee.

The local NBC affiliate, who was on the scene, who loaned Natasha’s mother the cell phone to call the police, reported that the rally was broken up over an "altercation".

At no point did they report that the altercation was a forty plus year old man hitting a nine year old girl. At no point did they report that the Bush supporters had been told to go, because they were causing all the trouble, because they were getting violent. At no point did they report that the Gore supporters did nothing wrong.

This is the face of the GOP and their Corporate Media Attack Chihuahuas. To them, an adult man striking a defenseless child is just politics as usual.

STILL THE GORE QUOTE OF THE DAY: (From a CNN interview by John King 11/29/2000)
KING: This is obviously uncharted waters, unprecidented territory. One of the things happening as the legal challenge unfolds is the Florida Legislature, controlled by Republicans, is having a process of hearings now, and they’ve been quiet open about the possibility that if you succeed, if your challenge, your contest is upheld, and if they count those votes and the Courts say "Al Gore won Florida", that they will regardless of that, send to Washington a slate of Republican Electors directed by the State Legislature to vote for Governor Bush. What happens then?

Vice President Gore sends a message to the Florida State Legislature: "You gentlemen are severely testing my earnest commitment to an all encompassing bipartisanship that is badly needed for the healing of our sacred Democracy. Therefor I would like to suggest, and I’d like to suggest quite strenuously, that you reconsider your somewhat intemperate actions." (Translation for Smirk: "You assholes are so on my list.")

GORE: I can’t believe that the people of Florida want to see the expression of their will taken away by politicians. The people of Florida have the right to select the candidate for President that they want. If the politicians ever tried to take that away from the people, I think you’d see… I think you’d see quite a… a negative response to it...

...If the People of the United States of America, in their individual states, in this case in Florida, make a judgement through their votes, then that can’t be overturned. That’s not to be questioned. And again, when the elections are close and hard fought it’s even more important than at any other time to leave the final decisions not with the politicians, not with the people who control the election machinery, but with the people. That’s what our country’s all about. The revolutionary breakthrough, more than two hundred years ago that lead to our nation, the greatest in the history of the world, was the brave decision by our founders to place ultimate trust in the people of this country. And whenever the decisions about who’s going to lead America are made, they’re made by the people. And anybody who tries to tamper with that is running against the American spirit, the will of the people, and everything this country is based on.

Guess what!
Those fine fellows in the Florida State Legislature
ARE running against the American spirit,
the will of the people,
and everything this country is based on!
And guess who's egging them on?

You know what to do! Sign the petition:
IMPEACH JEB BUSH!!


So many petitions, so little time!
The DNC (can you believe it?) has a petition to
COUNT EVERY VOTE,
BECAUSE EVERY VOTE COUNTS
I don't have to tell you want to do!

Smirk says: "This is my bestest friend ever, Jimmy. Jimmy showed me how to play Donkey Kong. Jimmy showed me how to watch Pokemon cartoons on the computer! Jimmy showed me how to make a secure online contribution to the Gore-Lieberman Recount Committee. Jimmy said if that dumb Gore guy and that dumb Lieberman guy get enough money, I will never have to do any of the really hard President stuff, like uniting the country and restoring faith in honest elections. I told Jimmy to give two million dollars. That sounds like a lot, but it was Jebbie's Visa card."
