MORE ACORN

12:40am
I have to reiterate things sometimes, and now, it's about the ACORN deal, AGAIN.
I know TPM is very liberal, but still; it's bottom line information, that is not, not not gettign mentioned. CNN, who is usually very good; has been the worst culprit here; being extremely misleading. ACORN is an organization that gets their money from grants, etc. So they have a vested interest in meeting their "quotas". They are operating, often, in inner city neighborhoods, and relying on "volunteers" or people they pay based on performance. So is there a massive left wing conspiracy to rig an election through ACORN? Um, I'm going to say not likely, because if you register Kentucky Fried Chicken at 123 Sesame Street, Anytown, USA, then I'm doubtful KFC's showin' up to vote. It has been stated repeatedly that this is massive voter REGISTRATION fraud, NOT VOTER fraud. Those are very different. Historically, there has been no evidence of ACORN related mass voter fraud, in any election. These are, usually, very low income people out signing people up to get paid. It's unfortunate that it gets turned it to this massive Obama conspiracy.
From the link:

"That's not because ACORN hasn't submitted hundreds or even thousands of fraudulent registration forms in several crucial swing states. They have -- though it's worth noting again that in many states, they're required by law to submit any forms their canvassers collect.

But to reiterate the main point: according to experts, fraudulent registration forms almost never lead to lead to fraudulent voting. If ACORN submits a form with the name Mickey Mouse, Mickey is unlikely to show up to vote on election day.

In other words, there's a crucial distinction between voter registration fraud and voter fraud -- and there's essentially no evidence whatsoever of the latter."

MONDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2008.... CONT.

"Oh.... SNAP", as I just heard this referred to.
Michelle Malkin, self described Conservative Journalist, who just yesterday posted a story about the "false narrative" created by Obama supporters, making fun of the supposed "mobs", saying, Oooh, it's "scaaaary", and Oh "Please.". WELL, today, here's what she has to say, in her post entitled: "SIGH: McCain and his friends at....... ACORN." She says:

"If you want to know why see-sawing John McCain has had to be goaded, prodded, begged, and dragged into spotlighting Barack Obama’s radical ACORN roots, here’s your answer:

Turns out John McCain had no problem calling ACORN members his friends during his ill-fated illegal alien shamnesty crusade.

Ugh."

NOW, in yesterday's post, where she is particularly furious with conservatives and Republicans speaking out against McCain's perceived endorsement of the hate fueled campaign rallies, she does show quite a few TERRIBLE things that have been posted; said, etc. about McCain, Palin, and even Bush. I "rebuke", "reject", and all of the other proper words that should be used to distance oneself from many of these things. I do NOT think that a horribly inappropriate bumper sticker or photo "collage" is the same as incendiary riot inciting comments of "terrorist", "kill him", etc. Particularly when those statements are not IMMEDIATELY disowned. SEE MY COMMENT FOR MORE...

Buzz word of the day.
Probably Buzz word of the week.
Acorn's website is here. BARACK OBAMA HAS NEVER WORKED FOR ACORN OR WITH ACORN. He worked for "Project Vote" out of law school, which was NOT affiliated with Acorn.

Obama DID represent ACORN in a lawsuit against the State of Illinois, ALONGSIDE the U.S. Department of Justice. So the U.S. Department of Justice,, using the argument that Obama "defended ACORN", would be just as guilty by association. Attorney's are paid to represent their clients. And those elected to various Boards are often required to serve with those they do not necesarily agree with. Think of a school board, or a City Council.
