here's something interesting we've been covering along with brad friedman at the
brad blog and i'm you other independent media outlets
the connection between bain capital
and tag romney
with some of the heart intercity boating machine you remember the story of those
who can talk about it for a while
think progress which is actually a great website we use think progress as a
source for and number of different stories on the show we consider them
really to be kind of on our side
think progress put out a blog post
i don't know if i want to call it a smear but it's definitely very critical
of the brad blog and actually embeds our video in the article where we talk about
the concerns that the bane
the pain and tag romney involvement into the voting machines is there
they're calling it a conspiracy theory think progress is going on and on saying
that basically there is no reason for concern here there is no evidence that
tag romney is involved in changing ballot et cetera et cetera and it
actually says uh... there's there's actually a line here which says
dwelling on the possibility
that accompany tangentially related to the romney family need tamper with their
own product
distracts from the very real and far more insidious ways the conservatives
are trying to manipulate the election for example the voter registration firm
blah blah blah blah blah hot fabricating reports
i take issue with this and brad friedman was on tom harkin's the big picture show
on arty last night he said the same thing which is
we're not specifically saying that had romney has already done something what
we're saying is that the fact that of all of the millions and millions and
millions of people
that are involved in politics
ben ect prided equity and manufacturing machines and all these different things
the fact that the candidates
former employer and son
have connections to voting machines
that alone is a problem we shouldn't even have that we don't need to say tag
romney was sitting there with a screwdriver messing with the voting
machines we need to get to that point
and i'm a little bit disturbed that think progress is trying to dismiss this
as a conspiracy theory
yeah that the connection is there
it's all the evidence is out there
and
soon not bring this up tonight even say that this should be looked into further
addition to brunch the attention of the american people
ended up in the responsible the counter example is
imagine if idon't know barrack obama's
pakistani roommate from when he lived in new york i think for a couple of years
was connected to the voting machines in the same way do you think this wouldn't
be all over corporate news no time
he would be and just underscore the point
that both of you were making you know that the uh...
the point here is that just point out that uh... the election system the
electoral process in terms of voting should be totally separated from
special-interest it's clear that there is a nice joints not about a conspiracy
theory were pointing fingers and saying there is going to be fraud it's not
about fraud about the possibility of fraud annabel eliminating that i'm a
very surprised that think progress has taken this line
