OBAMA CAUGHT IN FLAT OUT FALSEHOOD: "Obama Never Organized with ACORN"

The Obama campaign failed to cover its tracks before it asserted that, Barack Obama Never Organized with ACORN.

Barack Obama Never Organized with ACORN

Discredited Republican voter-suppression guru Ken Blackwell is attacking Barack Obama with naked lies about his supposed connection to ACORN.

• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN community organizer. • Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee. • Fact: ACORN was not part of Project Vote, the successful voter registration drive Barack ran in 1992.

Note Fight the Smears' very careful choice of words: "ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee." It is a matter of proven record, though--and according to ACORN--that Obama provided training services for its members. http://www.socialpolicy.org/index.php?id=838 (you need to register, which is free, to view the entire article. We also recommend that you download it as we have done in case Barry & Co. "disappear" it over the weekend.)

...Since then, we [ACORN] have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus, it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for State Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends. .

...Toni Foulkes is a Chicago ACORN leader and a member of ACORN's National Association Board.

Now, Barry, do you want to tell us again about how you "never organized with ACORN?"

We suggest that people visit the Social Policy site, register for a free account, and download the page in question before Barry and his friends "disappear" it as they did with the Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger endorsements on Barry's Web site, and the damning Trinity United Church of Christ bulletins from tucc.org (screenshots available at http://www.stentorian.com/Obama)

Congratulations, great catch.

Of course, the MSM will ignore it and it’ll get no traction, but we freepers appreciate it.

[Deetes]

BOOM

[Winged Hussar]

"Of course, the MSM will ignore it and it’ll get no traction, but we freepers appreciate it."

Two words: VIRAL E-MAIL (counting "e-mail" as one word)

[fhayek]

This isn’t the “ACORN” that Barry knew...

[Kevmo]

You can count it as 2 words, you can count it as 3 words, you can count it as a hundred words... it won’t matter.

Viral Emails don’t win campaigns. TV does. This will not hit TV until the history channel does a special archive program on this historic last election of our republic...

Oh, ok, I know it’s hyperbole but it could also happen. Read Revelation chapt 13.

[Winged Hussar]

Re: “Viral Emails don’t win campaigns.”

Barry was bleating pretty loudly about them a while ago.

[Kevmo]

Well, best of luck. I do my part. If it works, great.

I guess Obama is denying that he knows Madeline Talbot, Acorns founding queen and Bill Ayers friend. The woman hired Obama herself (no doubt recommended by Ayers) to train the Chicago ACORN branches Chief organizers.

Obama is an outright LIAR, trying to cover up his involvement with ACORN, and later his lobbying the Clinton Admin to cancel the planned gutting of the Community re-development initiative, and forcing banks to give loans to unqualified minorities.

He's trying to hide his involvement with longtime friend Ayer's and Ayer's scheme, launched through ACORN, to cause a melt down of the banking system and ultimately, the entire American economy.

Obama is pure evil. I wonder if all the "chi" hero posters are still hanging up in his campaign offices.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Falsehood?

I sometimes think simple is best.

The SOB Lied.

[Winged Hussar]

Obama lied, prevaricated, told falsehoods, mislead... he stinks by any name.

[Nathan Zachary]

"Obama started building the base years before. For instance, ACORN noticed him when he was organizing on the far south side of the city with the Developing Communities Project. He was a very good organizer. When he returned from law school, we asked him to help us with a lawsuit to challenge the state of Illinois' refusal to abide by the National Voting Rights Act, also known as motor voter. Allied only with the state of Mississippi, Illinois had been refusing to allow mass-based voter registration according to the new law. Obama took the case, known as ACORN vs. Edgar (the name of the Republican governor at the time) and we won. Obama then went on to run a voter registration project with Project VOTE in 1992 that made it possible for Carol Moseley Braun to win the Senate that year. Project VOTE delivered 50,000 newly registered voters in that campaign (ACORN delivered about 5000 of them)."

Contains more information for more juicy stuff to look up. pretty much confirms OBAMA is a liar, and desperate to cover up his ACORN involvement

[Dr.Zoidberg]

On ice he stinks, we agree there.

"Since then, we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office.

By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends."

oops, guess Obama forgot a few years of his entire life. Must be those cocaine after effects.

[Nathan Zachary]

Seems ACORN uses another tactic that essentially allows people to vote for the same person twice. it's called fusion voting and is legal in seven states.

Here's an example:

The mechanics of fusion are simple. It refers to the electoral tactic of two parties “fusing” on one candidate, meaning the candidate appears twice on the ballot under two separate party labels. “Vote Hungadinga for State Assembly,” we might say in New York, “but vote for him on the WFP line and send him a message about…health are,” (taxes, living wages, or whatever else the WFP chapter in his district thinks important). Election Day rolls around, and Hungadinga gets 45% as a Democrat, his Republican opponent gets 47%, and the last 8% shows up on the WFP line. The votes are tallied separately, but then added together, and Hungadinga wins 53%-47%. But he owes us 8% of his victory, and if we continue to organize year-round, he will feel obliged to deliver as best he can on our issues in the Legislature, which should in turn help us get still more votes the next time around.

Shady buggers, huh?

[Leisler]

Barry Obama, Barney Frank, Raines, all Harvard Law school, the Clintons, Yale Law School.

These are uber leftist lawyers. There is no there. Everything is flux. As Bill Clinton stated, even ‘is’ is up to question.

Sophist, elite, amoral, a-ethical with an army of welfare voters and unionized government workers, and a cadre of welfare state workers, welfare state industries, lawyer mandarins, high priests of social theories all funded by large financial institutions now fascist like locked to government power and law.

It’s ugly out there.

[Nathan Zachary]

Yep. Boggles the mind. You have to be very careful with who you deal with these days.

[Leisler]

What worse is McCain,Bush,Romney, HW Bush, Ford, Nixon, Trent Lott, Fat Dennis Hastert, the RNC, all are go along to get along with an occasional boob bait talk fest and hand holding about limited republican values. The GOP does an occasional tax cut, which are worthless when coupled with increase costs and decreased savings( give with one hand and take away all year with the other)

We are quickly becoming, if not already, serfs, peasants, volk, proles....pick any, or all.

The government schools are worse than no schools at all, in so much as they waste time, do not morally, ethically, politically, economically educate nor provide any useful historical framework...and...yet...convince the youths that they are educated and hence there's no real need to go looking at those dead white guy books in the back.( heck, I read that sentiment here on FR)

On the plus side, maybe 'I don't know much about economics' McCain will pull through and then not finish his term.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

Just an "oversight" maybe a little "sloppy" barry probably "misjudged" acorns intentions. nothing to see here everything ok

[Salvation]
