The "Bulletgate" links

Despite the recent paucity of posts on this blog (blame it on the summer workload), Michael Turton's Friday blog roundup kindly links back to me in reference to my multi-part "shootdown" of the deceitful pan-blue document known as "Bulletgate."

"Bulletgate" is a bunch of lies that were packaged by Taiwan's opposition political parties and distributed to members of the U.S. Congress as part of a propaganda campaign designed to convince the public that Taiwanese president Chen Shui-bian had himself and his running mate Annette Lu shot the day before the 2004 presidential election here in order to "win sympathy votes" and steal the election. If not for the pan-blue echo chamber that Taiwan calls its "media," it would have been the pan-blues shooting themselves in the metaphorical feet (shoved deep into their big mouths and wrapped in "black gold"). Instead, outlets like the China Times are still trying to make readers think that they're in the minority if they don't believe that Chen and Lu's 2004 election victory was all part of a vast pan-green conspiracy.

The info to which Michael refers is semi-hidden over in the sidebar and in the archives, so in case anyone has followed his link here looking for it, I'll make it easier for you to find.
