Remember the UK Guardian's attempt to influence voters in Ohio? Sure you do!

Read about how that stunt has backfired, as reported in a British newspaper:

This is a very competitive county, where the undecided vote is very small. What the Guardian has done is firm up the Republican base. What a gift."

Very Happy

And the Brits say WE have no sense of history? More than 200 years after the intelligent, independent thinkers all left and came here, they still don't get it.

In all fairness, The Guardian is known to be a stridently liberal
(ie, commie) rag...and doesn't reflect mainstream views. Rolling Eyes

The Guardian is griping now because their bigwigs were bothered with 700 protest E-mails. I wonder where they came from? Laughing

Foxnews had a story on this last night. They put the letters on the screen and had a nice, polite British woman reading the ones from the paper and a rough, mean sounding American guy responding with ours. Everytime they would go to our responses, half of what he was saying was bleeped out. It was actually really funny to listen to. Smile

Time for the re-enactment of the Boston Tea Party, where they throw Kerry overboard!

Can't we just deport Kerry and his "Komrads" to Great Briton after the election? Twisted Evil
