Being Squirrelly About ACORN

Obama supporters sure do throw names around like lier when anyone questions their candidate. Aren't we allow to find out if he has any fatal flaws that would exempt him from being a suitable President in charge of the worlds finest military and largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. I hear Joe Biden says he will be tested--if elected--within 6 months of taking office. John McCain has been tested and passed. We don't know what Barak Obama will do so I have a suggestion. Why don't we test him now. He has absolutely refused to turn over his birth certificate to prove he is eligible to run. John McCain turned over all his private papers and medical records. Obama won't let anybody know what his grades in Harvard were..must not be proud of himself. We know he graduated with no honors. He didn't "teach" constitutional law. He was a lecturer. Big difference. We don't know enough about him to trust him to be President. The big questions is how many Americans or our allies (perhaps Isralies) will die while this enigma is trying to "Prove" himself. Could be some of us or our families.

This is so disturbing - here is a man who was elected to be president of Harvard Law Review, taught constitutional law and now McCain has the gall to question w/not Obama was teaching the law? And here is a VP candidate who has a husband who loves America so much he was willing to spend a good deal of his adult life palling around with an organization that wanted Alaska for a country of their very own? Obama is right - McCain and Palin will say anything and do anything to distract voters from the real issues. I think the voters will not be fooled again.

Why did you not mention Republican ties to ACORN, other than your one reference to McCain?
And why did you not bring up the very serious possibility that the GOP has set up this whole ACORN thing?

I have been reading your blog daily for a while now. With articles such as this one, you do Democrats and Barack Obama a disservice. The truth is one thing, but understanding all the background stuff at play here is another.

I don't believe that you do understand, Jake Tapper.

The left cries 'smear' and 'racism' whenever anyone dares tell the truth about Obama and his collaboration with Ayers, Wright and Rezco. On the contrary - if Obama was a white Republican, with this history his candidacy would have been toast before it got started.

Just consider if the boot had been on the other foot and McCain's political career had been launched by an abortion clinic bomber; his mentor for 20 years had been a White Supremist Pastor, and he had paid nearly a million dollars to far-Right militias who strong-armed voters into fraudulent registrations would anyone even think twice about voting for him? Of course not.

The question is whether through expediency or ideological sympathy or a combination of the two, Obama has allowed himself to collaborate with far left and anti American thinking that threatens the basic values and existance of America and Western society.

(1) Obama lied about his collaboration with Ayers. Obama said Ayers was "just a guy in my neighborhood" when the truth was Ayers held one of the first campaign fund raisers for Obama in his home. Obama sat on two boards with Ayers, the Woods project and the Annenberg Challenge where Obama funneled thousands of dollars to Ayers anti-American school projects.

(2)Obama was a member of Rev. Wright's church for twenty years. Rev. Wright's church taught the racist and communist creed of black liberation theology. Rev. Wright: "God Da## America" "the chickens have come home to roost" the Sunday after 9/11, The US government is responsible for HIV among blacks are just a few of the hateful messages Rev. Wright preached from his pulpit. Obama claim that he was ignorant of Rev. Wright's racist and anti-American beliefs are just not credible.

(3)One of Obama's biggest campaign contributers was the convicted felon Rezco. Rezco helped Obama buy his million dollar home. Despite Rezco's help in buying Obama's home, Obama claims there was no quid pro quo with Rezco. Yet it is on record that Obama was instrumental in obtaining State funding for Rezco's slum lord projects in Chicago. Rezco in now "singing" according to many reports in the Chicago Sun Times and the speculation is that Rezco may be spilling the beans on Obama.

(4)Obama's web site claimed that Obama had no relationship with ACORN and than had to scrub the web site when irrefutable evidence came out showing Obama was an attorney for ACORN and participated in training ACORN leaders.

Obama's track record of being "Squirrelly" I would say lying about his true relationship with crooks, communists and terrorists shows that Obama lacks good judgment, is a liar, and points to Obama's true beliefs and leanings which are decidedly far left and out of the mainstream. Obama is unfit to be President.

Come on people! Yes, obviously there is a problem within ACORN but the bigger problem is the voter registration process itself. Don't blame the candidates for people outside their campaign. Demand that the registration and entire voting process itself be fixed. There are too many ways for supporters of either party to cheat and they have.

We won't have an economy or freedom or anything else if Osama wins!!! That is why you need to worry about ACORN, Ayers, and Wright, and all the other stupid things, and lies Osama has done. Everyone seems to want to ignore and the media is just as bad, what did they do pay everyone off...I'm proud of my country and I can't be bought!!!!!!!!!!!MCCAIN-PALIN ALL THE WAY

Written about the 60's radicals and Martin Luther King-

"to legitimize the radical social and political agenda to delegitimize traditional American social and cultural institutions --- those that support a free market economy, an anti-communist foreign policy, and a constitutional system that restrains the power of the state rather than one that centralizes and expands power for the reconstruction of society and the redistribution of wealth

not much has changed for this group- their approach changed over the years by infiltrating our universities and indoctrinating their children and attempting to do the same to ours in the schools. Obama reminds me of all those professors I hated so much in school- the far left elitists- who hate capitalism and individual freedoms

vote McCain

Obama supporters are just so blind and stupid. And 'THERE IS NO ONE SO BLIND AS HE WHO REFUSES TO SEE!"

Since it is obvious that ACORN has a pattern of voter registration fraud, why isn't ANYONE checking to see if this voter fraud changed the results of the primary? ACORN brags that they have gotten over a million new voters in the last 18 months...that means some of those "new voters" may have altered the results of the primary election..

No, you're all wrong. Obama was only eight years old and could not have been involved. Those acorns were gathered by crows who stole them from the squirrels.
Rev. Wright only chaperoned Obama and Michelle's first few dates,and tripped and fell under that bus, so there's no there there.
Bill Ayres coached one of the
children's t-ball games one time, but he didn't know a foul ball when he saw one so that was a very short time . T-ball season is real short in Chicago.
That simple. No connection. So there.

Sniffs of McCain camp desperation. I heard Obama once sat next to a kid who stole a carton of milk in the lunch room in third grade. Get on it, FoxNews!

The supposed pics of McCain at an ACORN event are FALSE..don't believe the false statements and propaganda articles generated by the left.
Liberals usually are so filled with guilt over their prosperity that they attempt to make it up to everyone else in their misguided attempts at "LIMOUSINE LEGISLATION".

Florida would not have been close in 2000 if the Democrats had not sent lawyers in to challenge and invalidate Military and absentee votes. These votes are overwhelmingly conservative and would have benefited Bush. Just who is the party that disenfranchises votes? The Dems. So don't give me that lame old line about Republicans trying to surpress minority votes, they just want to make sure dead people, felons and duplicate voters are stopped from turning an election.
Just check out Washington state Governor's race. The Republican won, then won the recount and then lost the second recount as more 'votes' were found in boxes. Not to mention that thousands of military votes were not counted because they were sent to another state and did not arrive soon enough to be counted. But the 'found' boxes continued to be located and then counted until the Dem had enough votes to steal the election. The military votes arrived before the boxes were 'found' but still were not allowed to be included in the vote totals.
Seems to me that Dems only want their votes counted not anyone elses. Voter suppression is the Dems MO.

ACORN treats their bottom-tier employees like garbage, demanding impossible quotas -- find 10 unregistered voters and get their applications each day, or be fired. They also offer a bonus if you acquire 100 apps in 5 days. Far more get fired than wver see the bonus.

Their employees are so in fear of losing their jobs that they break the law to keep their numbers up. Then ACORN can claim credit for a large turnout they had nothing to do with, and thereby snag more funding. And ACORN has been telling the media that their workers aren't held to quotas! Why lie?

Founder Wade Rathke hid his brother's embezzlement of a million dollars from the ACORN board for 8 years!

ACORN smells wrong, but many gullible Dems still flock to their defense.

The Obama campaign shouldn't stretch the truth, but they are right to put as much distance as they reasonably can between their candidate and ACORN.

Since it is obvious that ACORN has a pattern of voter registration fraud, why isn't ANYONE checking to see if this voter fraud changed the results of the primary? ACORN brags that they have gotten over a million new voters in the last 18 months...that means some of those'new voters' may have altered the results of the primary election..
Come one Jake Tapper, investigate it!!

As Acorn picked these voter drive workers, they most likely picked people who had nothing else to do- no day job. So ACORN gave them a bunch of voter registration forms and told them to come back with signatures in order to get paid. There's probably a reason why these people don't have a job and part of it could be that they are lazy ( and maybe even a little stupid). Given a choice between accosting people or filling out fake registrations in front of the TV (while watching football), they choose to sit in front of the TV and earn their money by filling out fake forms.
ACORN is then required by law to turn in every registration form they receive even if they know it is fake. The board of Elections only has the authority to weed out the good from the bad based on Social Security numbers and other factors. If they don't add up, the Board of Elections just doesn't register the voter, There's no harm of voter fraud. It takes more than an phony application to register a voter.
If you pick the worse people (frankly) in society to work for you and allow them to work independently, they will screw up everytime. ACORN needs a central office and people need to come in to fill out the forms. That way they know they have a real body for every form that gets filled out.
Some of the ACORN forms were filled out by Mic E. Mouse and Donald D Duck.

jackie,

The down and out you are talking about are the American middle class. they just lost one trillion of their retirement and many have lost their homes and jobs. Do you believe just poor people lost their homes and thier jobs. Look at Michigan, Penn., West Virginia, it's not the down and out Obama's is looking to help.
It's probably people like you. How rich are you? how secure is your 9 to 5?

In twelve years how many sermons did Rev Wright give? How many hours did he spend on the pulpit over those years? How many minutes of negative tape have you heard from rev Wright? Since his sermons were regularly taped and sold, what happened to the other eleven years and eleven months of tape? Maybe he had 625 good sermons and one bad sermon. The republicans want you to color him by his one bad sermon. His live interviews after the news broke didn't help but I think he had a bad day. His life isn't about hating whitey. the Catholic who later preached at his church was white. He deals with whites on a daily basis- got a little too frustrated and lost it as black preachers sometimes do.
He needed to apologize for his comments but he made a fool of himself. Wright put his ego ahead of Obama's goal to lead the nation. I'm not sure what to make of Rev Wright

Wow this is pretty silly.

ACORN offers people a chance to register to vote. After someone completes the form they review it and if it looks bad they mark as bad but are REQUIRED to still send it in to election officials. Then republicans accuse them of fraud because they submit bad forms?

How do republicans attempt to get more people to vote?

oh and btw: FoxNews just reported that the 800G was paid to an different organization with a broader mandate and that this organization distributed about a tenth of that to ACORN.

The problem with be dishonest for what ever excuse is when the truth comes out your trust points drop.... Then when the truth come to light on several issues, then a prudent person would be wise to think twice about their choice... OF course some people take a little longer comin around to accepting the facts and admiit that they have been out foxed.... Some of us saw the pattern after the second amendment flip flop, and the government spying tactics flip flop. AND you can rest assured that OBAMAS ideas on creating Social Services to help those down and out pretty much got squelched with 700 or I mean 850 billion dollars price tag of the rich and the greedy S. O. B.'s who beneifited from the Freddie Mac and the Frannie mae fiasco.... Those who benifited from that big scam, might be able to redeem them selves just a little, if they return all those bonus and extra bucks they gleaned when they cooked their books...
