Obama Demands Probe of Investigators Probing Criminal Group ACORN
Capital Research Center ^ | October 18, 2008 | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 10/18/2008 1:36:38 PM PDT by vadum

"Accuse your enemy of what you do." -old Communist saying

* * * * *

ACORN has friends in high places.

Barack Obama's campaign is --strangely enough-- demanding that a special prosecutor look into the investigations of the massive vote fraud that is being perpetrated by the radical group ACORN to determine if the investigations are politically motivated. The New York Times reports:

Seeking to portray law enforcement investigations into reports of fraudulent voter registrations in several states as an extension of the controversial firings of United States attorneys, the Obama campaign on Friday called for a review by a special prosecutor.

Bob Bauer, general counsel for the Obama campaign, sent a letter to Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and Special Prosecutor Nora R. Dannehy, who is investigating the attorney firings, requesting that Ms. Dannehy also look into the whether F.B.I. investigations of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn, were politically motivated.

In a conference call with reporters on Friday, Mr. Bauer suggested that there was “an unholy alliance of law enforcement and the ugliest form of partisan politics.”

“There is ample reason for us to be concerned about Republican involvement and we believe this ought to be included in the special prosecutor’s mandate,” Mr. Bauer said.

Given that Obama goes way back with ACORN, this attempt at misdirection is particularly audacious and clever. People who don't track these issues closely may be fooled.

It took 30+ years of planning by Ayers and his associates to form and fund ACORN and Obama, and they aren’t going to let the con fail without a fight.

Communist sc*mbag.

Look for a total perversion of the Rule of Law in an Obama Department of Justice.

Anyone who speaks a work against an obviously criminal Obama Regime will be halled before an IRS audit, charged with “hate speech,” you name it.

There should be a special prosecutor appointed to investigate whether the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the prosecutors investigating ACORN was politically motivated. Ya think?

There are many people besides the president of the United States who have sworn an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic.

The time is coming when they may be asked to honor that oath.

Yesterday Polestra.net found out one of ACORN's workers in Ohio registered and voted, even though he is not a Ohio resident. When contacted the guy freaked out and refused to speak to Polestra... it wasn't long before the Obama person in charge in Ohio called Polestra to try and scare them off their investigation of this guy....

So, you tell me. IF Obama is not involved in ACORN why is HIS guy in Ohio trying to scare off an investigation of illegal voting by an ACORN employee in Ohio? Now THAT is what the NYT SHOULD have on their front page today.

Obama is standing on a sinking ship.

He refuses to tell his followers that there is not enough lifeboats to spread around.

What we need to find, attack and bring to the public’s attention is HIS lifeboat, where is his “getaway” retreat, offshore? Does he have secret millions stashed in a foreign bank?

Does he have a place that will welcome him after he is totally defeated after the election?

Anyone with this kind of following and available money is not a total idiot, they know very well failure IS an option so they will have a contingency, I really do not think he will come back in 2012, its all or nothing right now.

To defeat him is to chase him to ground, allow no retreat, allow no quarter.

Best way of finding a needle in a haystack is sometimes to burn it down.

We're flushing him out! He might not want his daughter punished with a baby [would not lift a finger to spare his own grandchild's life], but at the same time — Obama DOES love his precious ACORN enough to do battle for it. He defends ACORN harder than his own grandchildren!

From what I've seen, Crist is a bit of a RINO and represents much of what's been wrong with the Republican party for the last several years.

Crist gave felons the right to vote when he was inaugurated. Crist did only one thing as Fla AG. He solved an easy to figure out 50 yr old civil rights case. In St. Pete where Crist is from there is a radical group known as the Uhurus. Maybe they vote for him or something. Crist is similar to Obama only had more job titles as a figurehead.
