Did Obama Buy Votes?

This, from the Boston Herald, no less...

ACORN (Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now) has endorsed Obama for President. Considering the term "community organizers" is in the title, would you expect anything less?

During the primaries, a subsidiary of ACORN (CSI - Citizens Services, Inc.) was paid $800,000 by the Obama campaign to register low-income voters.

Community Organizing at its finest... "Rub raw the sores of discontent" (to quote from the community organizing handbook)

On a sidenote, the founder of Community Organizing, Saul Alinsky, dedicated his last book, "Rules for Radicals" to Lucifer for being the first radical in 1971.

  1. LOL, a quote from an ACORN representative:

    "ACORN spokesman Brian Mellor told CNN he believes the investigations are a government effort to suppress votes.

    “We believe their purpose is to attack ACORN and suppress votes,” Mellor told CNN. “We believe that by attacking ACORN, they are going to discourage people that have registered to vote with ACORN from voting”."

    If that's not spinning the situation in another direction, I have no idea what is. Clearly trying to defend an indefensible platform.

    ROTFL...you have gotta be kidding me. More from the article:

    "On Tuesday, authorities in Nevada seized records from ACORN after finding fraudulent registration forms that included the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys."

    I don't know how anybody can expect to 'spin' something like this? Clearly fraudulant efforts are being made with respect to voter registration and clearly it's favoring one candidate over the other. Is that not voter fraud?
