Patterico's Pontifications » Guess Who Else Refused to Accept the Results of a Presidential Election?
Revisionist history. "Americans face a stunning situation this morning: a presidential candidate who refuses to accept the results of a presidential election. I’m speaking, of course, of Hillary Clinton. As Jim Geraghty notes in National Review this morning, Hillary told fundraisers in 2002 that George W. Bush was “selected, not elected” in 2000. If that phrase sounds familiar, it’s because it’s been a recurring theme for Democrats for almost 16 years now. It’s a mantra that has been repeated by everyone from Joe Biden (who said Al Gore “was elected president of the United States of America”) to Jimmy Carter (who said there is “no doubt in my mind that Gore won the election”) to Jonathan Chait (who wrote a piece titled “Yes, Bush v. Gore Did Steal the Election”). Yes, Democrats have been rewriting the 2000 election for years, saying that Al Gore really won. But until the last 12 hours or so, I never heard their new revisionist history: that Al Gore in fact graciously surrendered power. The very same Chait who still alleges fraud in 2000 is claiming that Al Gore conceded, end of story"

Huh. I was wondering why nobody was mentioning AlGore. Jonathan Chait is so unapologetically a liberal shill, this does not surprise me.
