Fox News this a.m. The push is beginning. Obama as underground weatherman/Acorn activist.


Fox was pushing connections between Obama and The Weatherman, with a terrorist "mentor" (Bill Ayres) and as someone who worked for Acorn in the past, between Obama and voter fraud in swing states.

He'll be lucky if Fox doesn't imply he's both a traitor and terrorist before it's over.

1. Desperate actions by a morally bankrupt community.
They have nothing of substance so they've devolved to this. I hope O takes them off the air after he's elected.

3. I wouldn't want him directly taking them off the air...

But if he works with Congress to re-regulate and break apart the massive media conglomerates and re-establish the Fairness Doctrine, the effect would be the same.

Would want even a well meaning totalitarian action.

6. Fucking Tom Ridge
Came out and said that the Obama campaign should explain Ayers support for the Obama campaign. He said it THREE times and was never called on it. But that's not surprising.

7. We can't ignore it, this has been bouncing around the right echo chamber
and it's getting louder....bleeding into the mainstream. This was in my mailbox this morning:

It’s time to shut down ACORN, work against voter fraud
By Ross Balano, Midwest Voices Columnist 2008

Federal authorities are investigating the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, otherwise known as ACORN, in at least ten states including Missouri.

Thousands of fraudulent voter registrations have surfaced after having been submitted by ACORN. In some parts of Ohio, over half of the registrations submitted by ACORN are at least questionable. ACORN even admits that it is unable to insure there is no fraud. In the Kansas City area, one name, Monica Ray, registered 20 times.

It is time to put a stop to ACORN and restore some integrity to the election process.

So now we know what a “community organizer” is. ACORN is a left wing organization that Barack Obama used to work with. They pay people to solicit voter registrations and quotas must be met. This is a formula for fraud. The only thing that matters is how many registrations are submitted, not how authentic they are.

snip>>>>>

Groups like ACORN are trying to steal the election. They are threatening to turn the whole process into a joke and action must be taken immediately.

ACORN and other groups like them must be shut down.

Photo ID should be required of all voters. Give them out for free. Come to the homes of those who cannot get out to get one. Make them an ID on the spot. Provide rides for anyone who needs one to get to the polls. But no ID, no vote.

Eliminate early voting. Eliminate mail in voting. Eliminate absentee voting except for the military and special cases. The constitution is specific about when and how the election should be held. Let’s get back to the basics and restore integrity to the election.

snip>>>>>>






Acorn has been demonized...The game is afoot. Are we ready?

8. It does not matter what Pox says anymore. Proof: McCraps won debate with 83%. They are
talking to the choir, sometimes literally. They are not reaching anyone who might switch from O to the other one.

:nopity:
