Barack Obama's Fight the Smears Web site had to make some adjustments when one of the alleged "smears" turned out to be true.

The political blog Gateway Pundit reports that Thursday the Web site read, "Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity."

But the Cleveland Leader newspaper discovered documents proving that Obama did work as a trainer for the voter registration group. The Obama camp claims its candidate trained for the position but was never hired.

The Web page now reads, "Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee."

There was also an interesting report on Barack Obama's funneling of donations to racist Chicago groups:

Barack Obama reportedly authorized money for education programs with extreme anti-American views during his time in charge of Chicago's Annenberg Challenge — the organization co-founded by '60s domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

National Review columnist Stanley Kurtz writes that in 1996 the Coalition for Improved Education in Chicago's South Shore received a $200,000 grant from Annenberg. That group was part of the South Shore African Village Collaborative which Kurtz calls thoroughly "Afrocentric" and held what he called "a carbon-copy of Jeremiah Wright's worldview."

Kurtz says the group's curriculum was centered around the rites of passage movement — a form of black nationalism. One sympathetic study conducted by Nsenga Warfield-Coppock in 1992 and published in the "Journal of Negro Education" says the movement came about because American socialization is "genocidal to the African-American community," and that African-Americans need to "counter the potentially detrimental effects of a Eurocentrically oriented society."

Yep. Plus the added bonus of a risk of racial mau-mauing.

Hey, c’mon! Barack now says that he trained to train ACORN workers, but ACORN never hired him. Of course, if ACORN wouldn’t hire him after his training for that job, we sure shouldn’t hire him for a job for which he has NO training!

Even the AP does also say that he “and two other lawyers” worked for ACORN on a 1995 lawsuit. Guess they couldn’t find any qualified lawyers that time.
