At what point do we define the cross over from imagination
to propaganda?

C'mon, stating that the "most-despised caste were
intercepted on their way to the polls by state police," with
the assumption that they would ALL have voted for the
opposing party is not only narrow, illogical, and completely
un-provable, it's also extraordinarily racist and seemingly
designed to be not just inflammatory, but incendiary.

I have numerous friends of the above titled "caste", most
very technical - all very skilled in their chosen field, who
are Very insulted at the media slant that they are too
uneducated to know how to read a ballot, too ignorant to
know how to read and research the facts behind the political
figures involved, and too complacent/lazy to think for
themselves.  Some voted Democrat, some Republican, a few
Green, and even a couple Libertarian - the one thing they
all agree on is that they will not "overcome" as long as
they are continuously kept separate by the machinations of
the media.

Please, don't help buy into or continue to feed the modern
media myths.
