You can't make this up

OK this news just made me laugh.

Allen, Santorum, Talent Criticized for Conceding:

Velvet Revolution, which calls itself a "network of more than 120 progressive organizations," criticized several candidates who conceded defeat before allegations of voter fraud had been fully investigated.

Among the six candidates it argued should not have conceded were five Republicans: Sens. George Allen (Va.), Conrad Burns (Mont.), Jim Talent (Mo.) and Rick Santorum (Pa.) and California secretary of state candidate Bruce McPherson.
.....
Velvet Revolution said candidates should not concede before election officials were able to investigate claims of voter disenfranchisement and electronic voting machine failures.

"Candidates have no right to concede a race (or claim victory) if votes remain uncounted if recounts are being called for, if allegations of election misconduct exist," the group said on its website.
Isn't that great? Liberals are mad at Republicans for not being liberal enough. Velvet Revolution is being shrill and whiny because we aren't shrill whiny and threatening to sue everyone. These are the people that believe that the 2000 election and the 2004 Presidential elections were stolen despite all the evidence to the contrary.

I wonder if Velvet Revolution has an office in Washington State where an election result was overturned and all there is still controversy over the vote counting process.

And I wonder if they have investigated ACORN for registering 30,000 dead people in Missouri.
