Note to moderators: While this may ostensibly be considered an "election reform" issue, it needs to be in GD because it concerns all DUers who have supported or support Bev and her organization as "the good fight" against the RW attempts to corrupt the voting process in this country, whether by faulty voting machines or bogus claims of fraud. Here Bev comes down against the Keith and his view that the GOP has been perverting the entire justice system to keep minorities from voting.Listen to what Keith reported here about Gonzalez:

I have to say this. It contains spin and is propaganda-laden, but since the
specific propaganda tactics are pushing the Democrat platform, it seems that no
one wants to review Olbermann's conclusions with very much rigor.
I saw it on TV last night and frankly, it just about made me gag.
He tucked a blatantly racist comment in there that only a myopic white liberal
could love. Something about a threat to clamp down on voter fraud being an
intimidation tactic for African American voters. What bullshit. And this
implies exactly WHAT about Black Americans??? An obvious ploy to get white
liberals heatedly Democratic, but exploitive and insulting to the black
community, what else is new.
A classic example of taking a situation with Republican abuse of power and
tucking in skillful editorializing to induce listeners/readers to draw
additional conclusions that support the political strategies of the Democratic
Party. One does not necessarily track to the next.
Members of the Democratic Party have explicitly told me they view election
reform as a "gold mine issue" meaning: It raises funds. There is an intense and
often inappropriate effort to control the issues and steer the issues toward
Democratic Platform agendas.
Those involve, by the way, continuing the techno-berserko methodology that has
us in so much hot water to begin with.
Sorry about the rant, but when I heard Olbermann last night, I literally
couldn't sleep. Maybe it's because I spent so many years writing publicity
talking points. I recognized the propaganda tactics the moment I heard them,
and was sickened to see precisely the same mind-manipulation methodologies
being used on the left as we have seen used by the right.
Never forget that the Constitution has no place for political parties who wish
to insert themselves and their platform between you and your voting rights.
Your relationship with your voting rights is direct, and all the two parties
are doing is getting in the way and taking people's eyes off the ball.

Is there now ANY doubt that Bev and her organization have ZERO to do with honest voting reform? Bev has realized that the cash cow she had tapped on the Left has dried up. She is now trying to milk the right for support by promoting their lies under the guise of "voting reform".
(My thanks to Troublewinter for finding this).
