(Compliments of ALG Feature Syndicate) If there's one thing undecided voters need to weigh in the waning days of this presidential campaign, it indeed is Barack Obama's desire to give taxpayer-funded goodies to union bosses, the welfare state, and ACORN. Meanwhile, Obama's campaign continues to raise questions about the integrity of his online fundraising process. The bare minimum security opens the door to all kinds of potential fraud and federal campaign violations. An experiment by PowerLine readers highlights the extent of the problem. (Update: < em>HotAir has tons of mounting evidence.) Yes, you have correctly sensed a theme developing.... … [Read more...]
Yes, Virginia, ACORN’s Voter Registration Fraud Leads to Vote Fraud
Update: Blue Collar Muse answers more liberal efforts to shift blame from ACORN, and provides a boatload more evidence. And Palestra documents more sinister voting activity connected with the Obama campaign in Ohio. It's hard to keep up with all the evidence pouring forth. A liberal denizen of my comments section likes to repeat the claim that ACORN's repeated acts of voter registration fraud are harmless, that I shouldn't waste my time writing about it, and that he is so bored by the topic that he just has to keep commenting on it. Yes, the same ACORN under FBI investigation that prominently endorsed the deceptive issue campaign Protect Colorado's Culture of Corruption Future. But then you look at New Mexico, and you see where … [Read more...]
Why Barack Obama’s Ties to ACORN Should Really Scare (or Anger) You
It was good to see ACORN brought up in tonight's debate. My frequent attention of late to the topic has brought on Lefty critique (22 comments!) that the group has never actually been convicted of electioneering fraud. But we'll leave that dispute aside for the time being. Investigative reporter Stanley Kurtz points us to the deeper problems:On ACORN, I continue to be stunned by Obama’s denials of his extensive ties to this execrable group. The fact that ACORN came up at all is good. Most folks still don’t know what ACORN is, how bad it is, and how deeply it’s tied to the financial meltdown. John McCain needs to make sure the public learns about ACORN and Obama. Obama’s dissembling on his ties to ACORN shows that he recognizes … [Read more...]
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. … [Read more...]
Voter Fraud ACORN Opposes Colorado Amendment 49, Ethical Standards
ACORN, the increasingly notorious voter fraud group, is part of the Colorado C-3 Roundtable going around "educating" voters about various ballot initiatives. Among the initiatives ACORN hates and opposes (and which the Roundtable won't invite supporters to share their side of the debate) is Amendment 49, the Ethical Standards initiative. This amendment "will prohibit governments from bundling money from public employees’ paychecks and delivering the funds to special interests, like unions. These special interests use the money to lobby the same politicians who just delivered the cash to them." So why is ACORN part of the virulent opposition? We could start with its own ethical lapses, which include not only voter fraud but also an … [Read more...]
CNN Documents ACORN Voter Fraud: 2,100 Registrations All Phony
Though they couldn't bring themselves to identify ACORN's connection with Barack Obama and the Democratic Party (via Powerline): 2,100 voter registrations in one county, and they are ALL fraudulent? Has Barack Obama answered any questions about ACORN? … [Read more...]
Obama Asked Vote Fraud ACORN to Help “Shape” Presidential Agenda
A few days ago I highlighted the connections between Barack Obama and ACORN, the group infamously known for two things: 1. Lawsuits that blackmailed banks and other financial institutions into making untold amounts of bad loans, a practice that fed the cancer underpinning the current market crisis. 2. Massive voter fraud in key election battleground states. Barack Obama used to work for ACORN, filed at least one lawsuit on behalf of ACORN, and gave $800,000 from his campaign to ACORN. Yeah, some skeptics say, but really how connected are they? Compliments of Elmumfo - by way of Okie Campaigns - we are treated to further enlightening of what Obama thinks of ACORN:In December of 2007, Obama told ACORN activists: "...but let me even … [Read more...]
Fraudulent ACORN’s Fallout: How Far From Barack Obama’s Campaign Tree?
Update: From Michelle Malkin, more compelling information on ACORN fraudulent activity, plus federal judge calls out Ohio secretary of state for election law violations... If you haven't been paying attention, it's time to tune in to the story of the Democratic presidential candidate (Barack Obama), widespread voting fraud (ACORN), and detestable past actions that fed the current financial crisis. Are you with me so far? I don't need to retread all the facts because so many others already have. Let's start with this editorial in Investor's Business Daily:A radical group Barack Obama used to work for is committing voter-registration fraud in several states, ahead of the election. What does Obama know about this scam? It goes … [Read more...]
‘Blockers R Us’
I came across a great site that features anti-democratic tactics of Leftist organizations: blocking efforts to collect signatures, frivolous lawsuits, and other threats to free speech. Occasionally highlighted is the efforts of a group called By Any Means Necessary to try to shut down Colorado's Civil Rights Initiative. The radical fraud group ACORN is also regularly featured there. Stay tuned to this site, especially as the election approaches. … [Read more...]
