"Paging TruthIsAll" - an article - A blast from the past

While doing some research, I stumbled across the following article written on November 11th, 2004 (among the 20,000+ I found regarding TIA in just two searches).

Most of the prominent left-leaning bloggers are downplaying the various and sundry allegations of election fraud in Bush v. Kerry -- perhaps nervous that lending credence to any "fringe" tall tales may hurt their ability to garner more mainstream credibility.
