Or so proclaims The Brad Blog who reports that Kennedy, an environmental lawyer who hosts a weekend radio show on Air America, Ring of Fire, has an article coming out in Rolling Stone Magazine (appearing tomorrow online, and Friday at the newsstands near you) that claims the Republican Party conspired to steal the 2004 election in Ohio:
A damning and detailed feature article, written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for Rolling Stone and documenting evidence of the theft of the 2004 Presidential Election is set to hit newstands this Friday, The BRAD BLOG can now confirm. The online version of the article will be posted tomorrow (Thursday) morning.
The article — headlined on the cover as “Did Bush Steal the 2004 Election?: How 350,000 Votes Disappeared in Ohio” — has been several months in development and will contend that a concerted effort was undertaken by high-level Republican officials to steal the Election in Ohio — and thus the country — in 2004!
Kennedy told The BRAD BLOG this morning that “the best evidence says the Republicans succeeded” in their plan.
He writes in the 10-page long article, and confirmed to us today, that evidence shows Ohio Sec. of State J. Kenneth Blackwell was “certainly in on” the scheme, and there are indications that the effort went all the way up to the White House.
Kennedy is a highly respected spokesperson for environmentalist causes, but this is the first time he’s taken a prominent position on the Topic that must not be named at a certain well known Orange colored blog. It’s a significant story in itself that he has staked his name and reputation to the position that our last Presidential election was fraudulently stolen by Republicans. I, for one, will be anxiously awaiting the opportunity to read and dissect what his article has to say on this subject tomorrow. I fully expect (as I’m sure he does) that the long knives of the Conservative Smear Machine will be in action early and often to attack his character, his sanity and his patriotism.
Nonetheless, it is extremely significant that he is taking this step now, prior to the 2006 Fall elections, and in a forum (Rolling Stone) that reaches a decidedly large and youthful audience. I wish him well, and as soon as the story is available I’ll be pouring over it with my eyes and posting my reaction here at Booman.
