ACORN?! Don't talk to me about ACORN.

It's the same old shit every two years and the GOP only gets away with it is because their idiot followers are too stupid to remember the last time.

We should remember that it was for refusing to prosecute non-existent wrong-doing by ACORN that led directly to Bush firing several states' District Attorneys after the 2006 election cycle.


The Republican voter fraud hoax
Donald Duck and the Dallas Cowboys won't steal the election for Obama. Acorn's only crime is registering Democratic voters
Brad Friedman, guardian.co.uk, Monday October 13 2008 20.30 BST

Barack Obama and the Democrats are stealing the election. Massive voter fraud is being carried out, even as we speak, by their henchmen, known by the innocuous sounding Association for Community Organisations for Reform Now, or Acorn. Clever bastards.

The only problem? Despite the screaming wall-to-wall coverage of "Democratic voter fraud in 11 swing states" as seen on Fox News and even the once-respectable CNN, none of it's true. None of it.

In just the last week, we've had a phoney stunt raid in swing state Nevada (where Acorn had been cooperating with officials for months, concerning problem canvassers they'd long ago fired); a Republican election official in swing state Missouri tell Fox News that she's being beseiged with fraudulent registration forms from Acorn (in a county where they've not done any registration work since August); a Republican sheriff in swing state Ohio, who, the very next day, suddenly requested the names and addresses of hundreds of early voters (with evidence of exactly zero wrong doing, but lots of Democratic-leaning college student in the particular county, and John McCain's state campaign chair as a partner in the investigation); and a screaming front page headline in Rupert Murdoch's New York Post about a guy who claims he was somehow tricked by Acorn into registering 72 times (but read the article closely to note he says he registered at the same address each time, which, even if true, would allow him - you guessed it - precisely one legal vote.)

It's an old Republican scam, but it's never been carried out with more zeal than this year. The Republicans have been putting so much time, money and resources into the propaganda leading up to this over the last four years, we should have expected no less.

Think about how many machine votes they have to flip to win, a few million I'd say. seems like they'll get caught for sure. McCain has to win every toss-up state to win, what are those odds, 100-1 or higher?

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.

Like I said in my election fraud thread ... the repukes are using ACORN as an excuse if they are unable to steal this election ... they will try and spin the stupid into believing that voter fraud exists when it really doesn't ... :roll:

Acorn didn't turn in the names of the Dallas Cowboys. They got those names from the raid on Acorn's office.

Well as long as ACORN says they are innocent, it must be true.

I like the war on drug thing too.

Here is a right wing version for ya.

Chicago Daily Observer | A Rotten Acorn

Rotten ACORN & Voter / Bank Fraud View From The Ridge…

Lets just ignore it all, pretend that there is nothing here. Everyone knows that liberal groups are the pinnacle of perfection. Something that we should all aspire to.

And why do people who want to vote need help to register? Are they too stupid to figure it out? I doubt that, I bet they can handle paperwork at other govt organizations.

How is not doing it for them equal preventing them from doing it themselves?

Are there roving bands of racist pigs beating them up to prevent them from voting?

Are they recruiting for one party or candidate over another? And they get tax payer money to do so.

Its all a bogus money maker for someone, probably not the ones they target.

But hey, ignore it all, just chant diebold, diebold, diebold.
