- endcoprophagy, on 10/14/2008, -4/+1How about pointing out how this shows Obama was involved with ACORN? I see what looks to be the top part of the ACORN logo in the center of the lady's shirt (on the left hand side of the picture), but I can't tell for sure. How about a link to the story, too? http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/7203

The Republican Voter Fraud Hoax - http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica ...
"Here are the facts. Acorn verifies the legitimacy of every registration its canvassers collect. If they can't authenticate the registration, or it's incomplete or questionable in other ways, they flag that form as problematic ("fraudulent", "incomplete", et cetera). They then hand in all registration forms, even the problematic ones, to elections officials, as they are required to do by law. In almost every case where you've heard about fraud by Acorn, it's because Acorn itself notified officials about the fraud that's been perpetrated on them by rogue canvassers. Most officials who run to the media screaming "Acorn is committing fraud" know all of the above but don't bother to share those facts with the media they've run to. None of this is about voter fraud. None of it. Where any fraud has occurred, it's voter registration fraud and has resulted in exactly zero fraudulent votes.
You'll hear that Donald Duck, Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, Mickey Mouse and (new this year) the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team have all had fraudulent registrations submitted in their names. That's true. And we know this, why? Because Acorn told officials about it when they followed the law and turned in those registrations, flagged as fraudulent.
What you won't hear is that federal law requires anybody who does not register to vote in person at the county office to show an ID when they go to vote the first time. So, unless Donald Duck shows up with his ID, he won't be voting this November. You needn't worry, no matter how much even John McCain himself cynically and dishonourably tries to mislead you.
If it quacks like a duck, in this case, it's likely another Republican Acorn voter fraud lie. They haul it out every two years."
And why are the republicans going after ACORN?
"The only actual crime here is that Acorn managed to register some 1.3m low-income (read: Democratic-leaning) voters over the past two years. The rest is, pretty much, just made up.
But in the bloody and desperate trenches of the Republican war on democracy, that's more than enough to kick in a last minute surge of lies that may - with the help of a compliant and lazy corporate US media - wreak enough havoc, scare enough voters, confuse enough people and plant enough seeds to call an Obama victory into doubt on November 4."
" - Keyhole, on 10/15/2008, -0/+2The reason that ACORN has to turn in EVERY voter registration card they got filled out is so that they can't discard any of them and thereby trying to effect an election.
If they were allowed to throw these fraudulent registrations away, you would never had heard about them, but, if they were allowed to throw "any" voter registration card away, they would be able to throw away the registrations of people who they think might vote against their preferred candidate. - SAR2009, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1We really don't need a schizo with access to "the button." Every time this two dimensional empty suit flaps its gums, it contradicts something it said or wrote before when that particular lie or truth was to its advantage at the time. It can't even keep track of what it has said, it lies with such pathological abandon.
