Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election

Mark Crispin Miller talked about his book Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election and Why They’ll Steal the Next One Too (Unless We Stop Them), published by Basic Books. Professor Miller argued that the outcome of the 2004 election, in many states including Ohio, was manipulated to favor George Bush and the Republican Party. He talked about the evidence for this charge and talked about the reaction that Senator John Kerry had when presented with the evidence. Professor Miller also argued that the Republican Party had been taken over by religious fundamentalists who see their opponents as evil and whose ultimate goal is to bring about Armageddon. He also answered questions from the audience.

This was the keynote presentation of “Communication in Crisis,” an interdisciplinary conference on communication and culture at the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. close
