RFK Jr & Greg Palast discuss "caging"
Bobby Kennedy of GoLeft.tv and Air America Radio's Ring of Fire talks with investigative reporter Greg Palast of BBC America. Greg Palast uncovered a voter fraud scheme known as "caging", that was carried out by Republican operative and Karl Rove aid Timothy Griffin. Griffin had been appointed to replace one of the eight fired US Attorneys, but was forced to resign when Congressman John Conyers received Greg Palast's startling information.

Previously undisclosed documents detail how Republican operatives, with the knowledge of several White House officials, engaged in an illegal, racially-motivated effort to suppress tens of thousands of votes during the 2004 presidential campaign in a state where George W. Bush was trailing his Democratic challenger, Senator John Kerry. Review at: Truthout

Bill O'Reilly

Faux News has had a crazy hate-on for us left wing bloggers. That far-left concern routinely posts vile thoughts such as Tony Snow should die from cancer, the pope is a primate, and Israel deserves to be attacked.

Faux where is the out rage; Christians United for Israel's for the calling of death of Billions? Was this oversight on your part?



On July 16, Christians United for Israel's annual Washington-Israel Summit.
