Finally- AMGers present a believable case of voter fraud.

AMGer “taxfoe” admits to voter fraud.

Is he joking? Maybe, but sketchy half-truths and innuendo never stopped a Republican “investigation” of voter fraud before.

Someone call Secretary of State Charlie Summers, stat!

I’d also say someone should call Charlie Webster, but I worry he wouldn’t understand. Because he’s a little slow.

Here is what taxfoe said:

Washington has some pretty restrictive rules about party affiliation/registration and voting. I don’t recall the specifics but it does take some advance planning to vote. After voting in WA in the morning, business took me to the substantially less restrictive Nevada where I ran into a get-out-the-vote brigade near the hotel I was staying. I took one look at the angel on my left shoulder and one look at the angel on my right shoulder. Only the angels know for sure.

For one of my last elections in Maine, I went in to vote (Portland) and, as my name was being checked off the list, I noticed my dead brother’s name was still on it as was that of a brother currently residing in Oklahoma. I didn’t want to push my luck so only two of us voted that day. I used a laundry receipt to establish my ID as the other. I checked in with the clerk A, voted, walked out, came back in, checked in with the other clerk B who, in keeping with her alphabetic duties, told A which name to cross off and I voted again. I didn’t know her personally but she knew my family and did what, I’m sure she fealt, was the best thing, given our recent tragedy.

Guess what this AMGer is talking about?

AMGer “pmconusa” posted a five paragraph exposition on the state of our civilization. It is pretty intense:

What you are witnessing is just the next stop on the road to extinction. If you look around you will see where we are going because others are further along the road and others, like the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Mayans, the Incas and the Romans have already disappeared. We are not satisfied with what nature provides but compete with each other in our gluttony to consume more.

Whoa. That’s heavy. Feel free to sit down and have a cup of dark tea while you ponder the impending extinction of America.

Have you managed to absorb all that yet?

Good, because there is more.

Like it or not the earth’s resources and natures continuing bounty are finite. In order to get what we need and protect what we have we stake out our territory and supposedly provide for its defense by establishing an elite group (government), allow it to make the rules for our protection and go about our merry way assuming that group will be satisfied with just having their needs satisfied but we don’t protect ourselves from the very ones we enabled to protect us.

Oh my god. He’s right. I’m not protecting myself from the very ones I enabled to protect me. How did I not see this before?

While the rest of us go about our merry way using up what nature has provided, the government has taken care of themselves and their friends at our expense. Countries no longer war with each other to get what they want because the price is too high. Instead, their disgruntled inhabitants migrate where the opportunity lies and as long as there is a surplus their encroachment is not suspected until it is too late. In less than two or three generations there will be no more ethnic Russians, in three most of Europe, including the United Kingdom will be governed by Muslims whose themselves or their parents migrated from the middle east or Africa where all but the oil has long been insufficient to sustain their populations.

A world with no more Russians? Holy Shit. Muslims governing Europe? Wow. Sound the alarms.

Wait- will there still be Russian Muslims??

Closer to home you have the story of the American Indian. Not a homogeneous race, but several races scattered all over the North American continent. They were stripped of their property by force or by cunning. They were slaughtered or isolated in enclaves as are the Palestinians today and they will soon die out, or be absorbed to where they no longer have an identity apart.

Those poor American Indians. They are just like the Palestinians, sans rockets.

Okay – sarcasm off. Guess what this weird speech was about? I’m serious, just take a moment to try and guess.

You are never going to believe it. But go on, guess.

No, that’s not it.

Not that either.

Are you ready?

It is about fricking K-Marts closing! I’m serious! K-MART! The Romans, the protectors we enabled who we need protection from, the Palestinians, the Indians, the Russians and the Muslims… All of that is tied together with K-MART closing some fricking stores! I’m not making this up.

The stores are in retreat because their customers, whom they rely on for survival, either don’t have the money to spend, cannot earn it where they are, or have moved to where the work is.
We have one last opportunity for hope and change and it isn’t Obama and the Democrats. Nor is it the Republicans. The rules laid down in the Constitution are sufficient if we put enough teeth in them, get both the President and the Supreme Court out of the legislative business and severely punish legislators who disobey the rules. Then we go after the state governments and do the same.

I’ve read a lot of bullshit Constitutional Ron Paul-esque arguments over the years on AMG, but this one takes the cake. This grown man (or woman) is saying that if we had followed a strict interpretation of the Constitution we wouldn’t have to worry about our local K-Mart closing. And apparently the Russians would be better off too (they might still exist?), but that’s not as important as the goddamn K-MART!

You. Cannot. Make. This. Up.

Michelle Anderson uses high-tech facial recognition software to find the conspiracy hidden beneath the cloak of the dark plot to overthrow stuff… oh no wait, it is just a video where someone thinks all black people look the same.

The topic of this thread was brought to my attention through the comments of intrepid readers, and it is so good it just has to get its own post. Thank you all for finding it.

Michelle Anderson has discovered CONCLUSIVE YouTube proof (don’t laugh, I said “conclusive YouTube proof” and I mean it!) that the entire Occupy Wall Street movement is a sham orchestrated by George Soros and a single black actor playing roles as protestor, cop, banker, Othello, and a perhaps a small border collie. It is in the form of a video she posted in a thread about Occupy Maine.

Okay, so I made some of that up. But the video is really incredible. It is narrated by one crazy, paranoid doofus who is going to prove that Occupy Wall Street is just a bunch of actors. How? By matching the faces of people protesting in online videos with headshots of people he thinks, for whatever reason, are actors.

If you watch for five minutes you will realize that, according to the narrator, all black people are the same guy. Many don’t look alike at all, but this guy insists they are the same person. “See! That black guy AGAIN! This is a conspiracy!”

The video is 20 minutes long, so good luck getting through all of it. I couldn’t. I will give a special mention to the first reader who publicly admits he or she watched the entire thing. The narrator guy is so crazy he must be angling for a job at the next Maine Republican convention. I can see his proposed platform plank now – readjust the census to correct over-counting of Maine’s African-American community. Obviously, there is only one black person in the entire state and he is probably only here because he is on George Soros’ payroll. It’s all part of Soros’ plan to get the New World Order into Maine’s Government so it can help us harmonize zoning along Route 1. How evil!

The narrator is also an expert in “micro expressions,” which are emotional signals only the narrator can see that tell us what protestors are REALLY thinking. His ability to see the real meaning of everything has obviously been very useful in his career as Guy Analyzing YouTube Video In Mom’s Basement; he has, after all, truly reached the pinnacle of the profession.

Just when you start to get your head around the whole ‘nationwide protests are being promulgated by a single black actor’ idea, the video gives you something that makes the single-actor-theory seem comparatively rational. Get ready for this one. This is where it really just goes crazy and doesn’t look back.

Cliff is Evil and oh, Congresswoman Gifford was shot by an actor paid by George Soros

The narrator points out, not five minutes into the video, a man in the crowd at one of the Occupy Wall Street events. The narrator says this man calls himself David, but is really named Cliff. Because people in the global conspiracy are clever like that. Huh? Cliff? Sorry, I’m David. You must have me confused with someone else. Muahahahaha.

Cliff, you see, is friends with a guy back in Arizona who is an actor. And not just any actor, but the actor that played Jared Lee Loughner in the mug shot below. The guy who shot Congresswoman Giffords, if you believe the Guv’Mint line. The fact that Cliff/David is at the protest shows that the Soros tentacles are moving pieces around the chess board, thus proving the accuracy of the conspiracy theory. Got it?

According to As Maine Goes, this man is an actor who knows Cliff in Arizona, who goes by the name David because he is tricky like that, who was hired by George Soros to orchestrate a nationwide protest against Wall Street. Seriously.

Now, some AMGers don’t buy this whole giant irrational conspiracy thing. Chris Coose, for instance. He says:

That video in post #64 is likely the most far out conspiracy bit of media I have ever seen. Mr. Goldbug is serious when he teaches the viewer the NYC cops are Move On actors and correct me if I am wrong, the Rep. Giffords shootiing was a Soros staged event.
This guy has clearly spun a bearing but what is even weirder, we have a forum moderator passing this stuff offf as somewhat legitimate.
This is conspiracy theory on bath salts which I thought was prohibited here.

But he is immediately met with resistance. “Vikingstar” sums it up nicely:

I haven’t had a chance to watch the video yet. But, given the choice of accepting Michelle’s judgement or Mr. Coose’s, well, that really isn’t a contest , is it?

Because you mean that Michelle has less credibility than a lungfish? Right? Because you can trust Mr. Coose, who has never posted anything like this video throughout his entire AMG career nor shown any paranoid tendencies? Right? That’s what you mean, isn’t it? What? No? It isn’t? You actually mean the opposite?

Oh my god.

So not only does a moderator get to post crap like this, but if you question it you are immediately swept aside. They don’t even need to watch the video! It is just self-evident that Michelle is right.

As I’m writing this, I’m letting the video play in the background. I’m now at a part where the moderator says (as if what he has already said isn’t mind-blowing enough) “Okay, this is the part where I kick a hole in the Matrix.” I don’t know how many more holes the matrix can take, buddy. So what is it? Oh, he found two different views of the same spot where protestors are sitting, then standing. You might think that is simply because people got tired of standing and sat down, or vice versa, but this guy has a better idea. It is part of the staging. The global conspiracy is staging all these shots, but they forgot to hire a continuity intern. Thank God for all of us that the Global New World Order has really low production values!

Michelle takes Chris Coose to task at the end of the thread:

So, what? You decided to emphasize what I said? That that some of the video is “out there”? Well, thanks. I guess your repeating it is helpful to those who will only listen to left-leaning haters as opposed to those of us who consider all information before figuring out what is and is not valid.

That is a real LOL right there. Don’t hate on Michelle. She is just at home, studiously taking notes on this video. She is open minded. George Soros hired the Jared Lee Loughner actor. Hmm, interesting. I will ponder this carefully while I listen to Glenn Beck. All you fact-based liberals can go back to your fake protests and your fake shootings of Congresswomen and your fake Kenyan Presidents because, after all, Michelle has one of Maine’s most read websites to moderate. She takes it very, very seriously. Her reputation is on the line, after all.

Ugh.

GOP debate crowd boos American soldier asking a question.

Just watched the Fox News/Google debate online. Only at a GOP debate could the crowd boo an active duty soldier and no politician on the stage nor any moderator nor even any analyst afterwards even acknowledges it happened.

If a Democratic crowd booed a burnt apple pie we would hear about it for days.

It’s cool.

Our local Tea Party is now pushing a children’s book. Yes, now your child can learn to read while simultaneously learning about death panels, the dangers of vaccination, and the 75-year Ponzi scheme known as social security.

It could have made a great ironic gift for many young Maine moms and dads, but the $20 price seems like a reach. This is too bad, because I know several parents that I could just see gagging on their own bile as they opened it at their kid’s next birthday party.

I love the cover. “It’s cool.”

Charlie Webster fails on WGAN, but doesn’t seem to realize it.

In today’s edition of “Things You Won’t Find Linked On As Maine Goes,” here is some audio of GOP Chairman Charlie Webster losing the argument over his voter registration witch-hunt on WGAN this morning.

Both hosts let him have it, and argue Charlie into a corner, but Charlie refuses to let anyone sway him from the confusion reigning in his mind.

If anyone here still has AMG access, you would be my hero if you put this audio in a new thread.

Only sissies can object to LePage’s tantrums, right?

Governor LePage, as everyone reading this site surely knows, spent some time last week yelling at reporters for sport.

Argggh, he said, summoning his inner Voldermort, you cretins lie about me! It makes me so angry! You don’t ask for my side! Why don’t you bother calling me sometime, so I can once again refuse to comment! Then you can run stories that just have long blank white spaces where my statements would be, if I made them! Arggh! It is so unfair that you print things despite my decision not to say anything about them! Oh, and did I mention you’re all liars?

On AMG this went down just dandy. They don’t care that he 1) was needlessly angry and berating on camera, and 2) was actually incorrect and, some would say, lying, because of course all the news agencies called his office for comment and were told that the Governor would not be available.

Who cares about that stuff? The lamestream media deserves it. And yes, someone on AMG did actually say ”lamestream” media.

Melvin Udall went above and beyond the call of duty, as always, showering his fellow angry old man Governor with praise and insisting that anyone who thought his raised voice, finger pointing, and invasions of personal space qualified as a tantrum-esque were just sissies:

EI (and Numbnutz): If you consider LePage’s taped moment “a tantrum,” you must have had parents that praised you when you pooped your pants or broke a glass or spilled a half-gallon of milk.

Uh-huh. Or, we had parents who praised us when we didn’t blame the lamestream media, or anyone else but ourselves, for pooping our pants.

The fact is, LePage pooped his proverbial pants on camera and he’s trying to blame it on everyone but himself.

The thread then devolves, as so many do, into Naran defending anything an everything the Governor’s administration does, thinks, argues, says, considers, and breathes. She links to another lamestreamer, Steve Mistler, who wrote a news piece wondering where is all the evidence of voter fraud we have heard so much about. So far, all we’ve got is a list from Charlie Webster of 206 people who might have been paying out of state tuition while voting in Maine, which is not illegal or fraudulent at all, but that doesn’t seem to bother anyone on AMG.

Oh, and the head of the Maine College Republicans voted in Maine despite not meeting the high Charlie Webster standard of legality. I have seen very little discussion of that little factoid. Shocking, I know.

Department of Marine Resources chief resigns, and says things are even worse than you imagined.

Normon Olsen, Governor LePage’s appointment to head the Department of Maine Resources, resigned yesterday.

Today he published a scathing letter explaining his decision.

It turns out that anyone with wild accusations could get an audience with the Governor, but Olsen, a cabinet member, could not. The Governor directed Olson to make certain constituents happy or he would be fired by Labor Day, but wouldn’t name the constituents.

Worst of all, when Olson finally did get a meeting with LePage to discuss plans regarding Marine Resources he discovered a petulant, petty Governor who, among other things, ordered that Olsen not collaborate with Portland in bringing back groundfish boats because Portland was against LePage. LePage said he would rather build a port somewhere else.

Refusing to help Maine’s largest city because it voted against him. Nice.

The letter really is a must read. It shocked me, and I already had some amazingly low expectations about LePage’s day-to-day behavior. Even I wouldn’t have expected LePage explicitly direct a cabinet member to not engage in job-creating activities merely because those job-creating activities involved a city that did not vote for him.

Terrible, terrible, terrible.
