Obama’s ACORN connection

By: Cao, Filed under: Demonrats , Obama @ 3:28 pm

Obama’s affiliations with radicals is more widespread than previous thought.

ACORN
is responsible for illegal voter registration in several states during the 2004 election:

In the 2004 election cycle, ACORN and its sister group Project Vote ran a nationwide voter mobilization drive that was marred by allegations of fraudulent voter registration, vote-rigging, voter intimidation, and vote-for-pay scams. ACORN’s get-out-the-vote activists were implicated in schemes that included the falsification and destruction of thousands of voter registration forms, and the registering of convicted felons even in states where felons are ineligible to vote.

In 2006, approximately 20,000 questionable voter registration forms were turned in by ACORN officials in Missouri — virtually all in the St. Louis and Kansas City areas, where ACORN purportedly sought to help empower the “disenfranchised” minorities living there. Similar allegations of ACORN voter fraud were made in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Colorado. Between 2004 and 2006, ACORN employees were accused of submitting fraudulent voter registration cards and forging signatures on ballot initiatives in 12 states.

In New York, they have done incredible harm:

In 1998, ACORN founded the Working Families Party in New York, which endorses candidates for political office. It endorsed Hillary Clinton in her 2000 Senate race. Canvassers from ACORN and its sister groups launched a statewide voter-mobilization drive that proved influential in Clinton’s victory. In November 2001, a coalition of radical politicians led by ACORN-sponsored candidates running on the Working Families Party ticket won a veto-proof majority on the New York City Council, giving ACORN de facto control of the New York City government.

With little opposition from Republicans or moderate Democrats, ACORN radicals pushed laws tightening their control over New York City government and stripping the Mayor of executive power. Their current platform calls for a rollback of welfare reforms; a crackdown on NYC police, including a ban on “racial and ethnic profiling”; and the appointment of a politicized Civilian Review Board newly empowered to prosecute police officers. ACORN also seeks to use its influence to raise corporate taxes, increase regulation, and empower unions with an array of new rights. ACORN seeks to prevent any corporation from being free to leave New York without an “exit visa” from the City Council.

On March 12, 2003, the ACORN-controlled City Council passed a resolution, by a 31-17 margin, condemning the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

We already know that Obama has the endorsement of Code Pink and Moveon.org, Hamas, Hezbollah, Castro, Ayers of the Weather Underground, his 20-year relationship with Jeremiah Wright, the God Damn America pastor, and his 20 year membership in the Trinity Church of Christ on Chicago’s south side which preaches black liberation theology. We also know about his paid blogger, Felzen, the communist flag man, and OBEY’s Shephard Fairey, who uses plagiarized images to promote his communist-loving Saddam admiring posters and who came out with the Che-looking or Lenin-looking Obama poster.

Stanley Kurtz uncovered previously unknown ties to Obama and ACORN; Obama even trains their leadership. It turns out Obama’s community organizing in “Project Vote” was in partnership with ACORN. This is a part of what Toni Foulkes stresses in the article entitled “Case Study: Chicago - The Barack Obama Campaign.” Foulkes is a Chicago Acorn leader and a member of Acorn’s National Association Board, and also tries in that article to impress upon us the ‘non-partisan’ organization, although it is obviously Obama supporting and Obama supporting and conducts pro Obama activities. Obama even conducts yearly leadership training seminars for ACORN.

Rick Moran points out in Obama’s Ties To ACORN More Substantial than first believed at the American Thinker that Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger both have extensive ties to ACORN. These two are considered “clergy”, but I’d like to know just what connection they have with Christian values, the Bible, or Christianity. They certainly don’t preach it, or teach it to others.

Malkin gives us an idea on this post:

Pfleger is, in the words of blogger Sultan Knish, “the white Jeremiah Wright”–another long-time Obama supporter endorser and angry, Farrakhan-defending, jihad-apologizing, Jew-basher who also once threatened to “snuff” out gun rights supporters in Chicago.

Obama will “change” our America into a country we will barely recognize, through terrorist style threats and intimidation from people like those behind the Mitch and Nan Show.

Obama’s affiliation with radicals of all different stripes is frightening, and it’s exemplified through the actions of his adoring constituents who think it’s funny to terrorize people.
