Stakes Raised in Ohio RICO Action against Obama’s ACORN Fraud Friends

ACORN’s systemic problems with voter registration fraud have led to the filing of a RICO action lawsuit in Ohio (H/T Maggie Thurber). RICO refers to cases of racketeering and organized criminal activity – the stuff of John Gotti and company. The stakes have been raised.

Also from Ohio, an independent Cleveland newspaper documents Barack Obama’s associations with ACORN and his campaign’s attempts to cover up the facts and rewrite history.

I may have to rethink my dislike for Ohio.

    A RICO act lawsuit by a right-wing think tank which currently employs former Ohio Secretary of State and Bush 2004 state campaign head Ken Blackwell, who was himself sued 16 times for election-related problems.

    Zzzzzzzzz….

    For being bored by a topic, Matt, you sure are obsessed with commenting on it. Hopefully, you weren’t reading this while driving or operating heavy machinery.

    Nope. Sitting at a computer. Your desperate attempts to make up a problem where one doesn’t exist bore me. Keeping you honest keeps me awake.

    You know you don’t have to take my word for it. (We did welcome CNN and the Cleveland Leader into the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy recently.)

    Nevertheless, I’m truly flattered to be the recipient of so much attention. I hope I can expect a Christmas card, too. And maybe I could send you a new gift copy of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, in case your current copy is weathered and worn.

    CNN and the Cleveland Leader are reporting that ACORN has been convicted of voter fraud? That’s breaking news, can you provide links?

    Who said they’ve been “convicted of voter fraud”? It makes one’s head spin trying to argue with you, Matt. I guess my Christmas card isn’t coming, after all.

    So CNN and a Cleveland paper reported that Republican party organs have alleged impropriety on the part of ACORN? Let me break some news for the 2010 election cycle – they’ll be complaining again then, just as they have in every election cycle in the last 10 years. Some more breaking news for the 2010 election cycle – there still won’t have been any successful prosecutions of voter fraud against ACORN – because the problem IS MADE UP.
