Civil disobedience?

We've been doing that in Chicago forever.

Seems as though election poll shenanigans are increasing in frequency. My county had its in famous butterfly ballot and then we switched to the Diebold touch screens, and this year using optical scanners. To only further aggravate the situation, both major parties are sending legal teams to monitor our elections because our supervisor is expected to be absent for the vote, potentially grounds for contesting the result.

How different from the exit polls would the outcome have to be for voters to concede that their candidate lost? Of course, some men you jest can't reach. But everyday Americans, for example.

Now wait just a doggone minute here, mister! I know Obama ain't no a-rab, his daddy was from Kenya (but he did go to the "local schools" in Jakarta. Also too, Indonesia is a predominantly Muslim country. But it's probably real likely and probable like that he coulda might gone to a secular, or even Catholic school. Locally. In Jakarta. Indonesia.) But heck, I'm still gonna vote for that one, 'cause, well, he's so dang purty. Plus he talks real good too.

Palin Booed At Philidelphia Hockey Game.

Well, that pretty much puts it in the bag and cinches it shut. If hockey fans, in Pennsylvania, drown out the Palin supporters and keep it up the entire time she's on the ice, I think America has spoken. Hockey fans! Whoa.

This is what it's about for me. Racists. Defeating them.

Racist monkey guy (listen to that laugh about 19 seconds in).

Racist monkey guy before rally

Racist Monkey guy knows he's on national TV (CBS)

That's it for me. When it comes right down to it, I want to defeat, belittle and yes, inflict violence upon racist cowards like this. The world economy helps Obama win, fine. Whatever. As long as fucks like this guy have to think twice about being proud of their infantile racist worldview in public.

So if a group orchestrated this registration fraud out of moral ideals, is it civil disobedience?

No. But really I can't be bothered to link to the definition of civil disobedience yet again, or get into a pointless argument with the remedial class.

Oh, c'mon...Right away with the namecalling? I'd rather be remedial than fucking juvenile.

Yeah, whatever. We've been through it all before. Like I said I can't be bothered. You brought it up and stuck your tongue out, you can't pretend you have the moral high ground.

There's a difference between voter registration fraud (rampant) and voter fraud (rare, on the verge of mythical).

Voter registration groups pay their people to register voters, so you get a lot of John Smiths and even Micky Mouses. It's a problem, but not the same thing as multiple John Smiths or Micky Mouses VOTING... which just doesn't happen.

Seemed a legitimate question. A point, even. By your logic it seemed to me to be an act of disobedience.

How is it not?

And don't say you can't be bothered. It's sunday and you're on the internet....

You ain't got shit to do...

And the way you made your point, and sticking your tongue out? Seems more like trying to restart a fight in a pretty juvenile way to me.

If it was anyone else, I could be bothered, but for you, read my previous post. Look up civil disobedience for yourself and work out why it doesn't fit the definition for yourself. I'm not getting into another pointless argument with you just because you don't know what civil disobedience is. When you have worked it out, perhaps you can then tell the rest of the class.

Little fishy took the bait, now spit it out!

I say it: Voter registration fraud fits the Kradlums definition of civil disobediance.

You can't even spell civil disobedience.
