OBAMA TRANSITION TEAM LEAD, JOHN PODESTA, WORKED WITH FLORIDA ACORN IN 2004
ACORN website ^ | 24 September 2004 | acorn

I submitted a google search engine request for:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=podesta+acorn+2004

The original link at the ACORN website has been removed - I found it's sitting in the Google cache, however.

More evidence the Obama campaign is cleaning up web pages they don't want you to see.

Obama will have to find a way to wipe those pesky Google caches. They interfere with the effective operation of the memory hole.

ACORN is OBAMA is ACORN.

People won't figure this out until after the election...which basically means that the FIX IS IN.

AT least that's what Podesta and the the rest of the ACORN-holes are thinking today.

We must FIGHT!!

In the words of a famous sitcom character: Surprise, Surprise, Surprise.

Look a bit deeper and you’ll find a whole lot of information you missed when it happened.

I contend that Obama met ALL the active Weatherman Underground members when he lived 2 blocks from Bill Ayers while attending Columbia. Somewhere the facts are out there. Just keep googling until you locate them. Then send them to McCain’s Team.

Excerpt of October 10, 2005 speech by John Podesta at University of Wisconsin-Madison:

http://www.campusprogress.org/tools/593/what-does-it-mean-to-be-progressive

"...What does it mean to be a progressive?

"It means supporting progressive legislation, such as Illinois’ landmark corporate accountability act, California’s efforts to provide citizens with low cost prescription drug coverage, and Arkansas’ initiative to enable the children of immigrants to receive an affordable education. It means supporting local and grassroots organizations doing the legwork in communities across the country, like ACORN’s campaign to raise the minimum wage, which has already seen success in Florida and Nevada.

"It means re-working our approach to foreign policy and national security, like the Truman Project is—a group of young progressives rethinking everything from military force structure to our relationship with Iran—or the Genocide Intervention Fund, comprised of some highly motivated students at Swarthmore, who are successfully raising awareness and funds to stop the slaughter in Darfur.

"It means supporting big, bold ideas and workable solutions to our most pressing problems like reforming health care, education and the tax system and finding a workable exit strategy for Iraq. The Center has put forward plans in each of these areas and is working with the media, legislators, and thinkers inside and outside the Beltway to forge ahead with them. And we are certainly not the only ones.

"Today, I want to challenge you to help renew a progressive vision for America and put it to work.

"Some of you already are.

Maybe you’re active in the peace movement.

"Or you’re involved in human rights work.

"Or you’re helping to build support for the labor movement.

"Today, I’d like to invite the rest of you to join them…

"Together, all of us, we have the power to take this country back.

"To make those three words “We the People” ring true for your generation.

"Whether you call them the new right, the old right, the far right or the not quite right, conservatism has had its chance.

"Now it’s your turn.

"Take it.

"Thank you."

I’ve been wondering if maybe acorn disenfranchised hillary voters in the primaries.

Kind of makes you wonder why the FBI hasn't infiltrated this group. If ever there was a seditious group that needed infiltrating, this is it. I'll bet that there are some real interesting conversations taking place amongst the leadership that are just begging to be recorded and handed over to a prosecutor.

The FBI has probably been infiltrated by them. Eight years of clinton left a lasting mark on the government.

Didn’t ACORN try to pay their people LESS than minimum wage in some western state? Seems it was posted here. I’m not surprised the bigs are running away from ACORN - I suspect there’s much we dont’ know..
