Someone today in class asked me what was going on in Ukraine. Indeed, what is going on in Ukraine? You hear about election fraud but just what the hell happened? When I saw one news story (can’t find it anymore), all I saw was mention of discrepancy in exit polls. I was going to completely trash this so-called election fraud. Glad I wasn’t so quick on the draw.
This is a must-read: Revealed: the full story of the Ukrainian election fraud. (Note: Found this via Patterico’s Pontifications, which found it from Captain’s Quarters.
But check out this MSNBC article, Talks fail to resolve Ukraine election dispute. Priceless. All we see is mention of election fraud. So, so, people, tell me, why is the American media hiding this? Why? A quick google search on “ukraine election fraud” and none of the American articles reference the obvious travesty of democracy.
I’d like to emphasize something else in the article. Notice the headline, and then notice the picture of happy people with their arms thrown up. Talks fail… *CHEER!*
Well, people, if Yanukovich pulls this off, you can fear for the future of democracy. I know both candidates are urging for violence not to happen, but shouldn’t you fight if an election is so obviously stolen? A government that no longer represents the people should be overthrown. I only hope that a new election will be held.
Compared to this, Afghanistan’s election went ahead without a hitch.
