Obama Supporters Deserting over ACORN scandal: “Say it Ain’t So, Barry.”
IsraPundit ^ | 10/11/08 | Bill Levinson

Posted on 10/11/2008 9:26:27 AM PDT by Winged Hussar

Obama's FORMER supporters at My.BarackObama.com say "Obama let us down" by Bill Levinson

We have little doubt that the people who posted these entries will soon have their My.BarackObama.com accounts disabled by Obama's moderators (and at least one did), in which case we are delighted to welcome them to PUMA or the GOP, whichever they prefer. Since their pages will doubtlessly be taken down as well, we will include the Google caches for reference. What we are looking at is what organizational science calls "loss of commitment," and its result is total organizational disaster. The original "Say it ain't so" is, incidentally, from the 1919 Chicago "Black Sox" scandal.

ACORN By Lindsay - Oct 9th, 2008 at 7:37 pm EDT

This ACORN stuff is really really bad. As a voter, I really need to know that Obama wasn't funding an organization that willingly engaged in voter fraud.

This could be a game changer for me.

Obama Lies About Acorn (cache)

This one was deleted by Obama's moderators, but not before Google cached it. The user's account was disabled as well

CURIOUS By K from Portland, OR

...We now have the problem of questioning 1) voter registration and actual voting in these states; 2) Obama's responses to criticism. And if we have to question all of that, then how can we take at face value anything this ticket says?

For my part, I feel very let down. I feel a total lack of trust in this team, and in what has been voiced in the various sound bites and rhetoric.

...This is a campaign of change? From what? to What? This sounds like Chicago politics as usual.

“This guy has the worst character and judgement ever and we want him in charge of OUR money?”

His character and judgement are a direct result of manipulation by his directors. None of his actions are of his own creation. He acts/reacts as told by party leaders.

He is a communist atomaton.

I truly believe there were a lot of Obama supporters who thought he was a beacon of Change and Hope! I did to at first, I really took a look at Obama and said wow maybe he is going to stop all this Govt. Corruption. He sounds like MLK...he will bring peace and dignity back to America.

I hated people in Europe thinking we are such haters and money lover and warmongers...I thought he would bring a level of respect to the White House! and then....

I saw something that really bothered me...I saw with my own eyes...Obama flip off Hillary during a campaign speech..then I saw it again....and then the song by Ludacrus....his connection to Rezko..didnt bother too much but then..Michelle was a lawyer involved...her speech....Rev Wrights speech..Obama never heard him talk like that....? The Pfluegers speech on Hillary..WHAT! Obama says nothing...then the financial crises....Black Caucus...Ayers....Franklin Raines..Johnson....Farrakan.....Meeting with Iran leader.....(i got off the Obama boat to Kenya...after Rev Wright)....and now his connection to ACORN AND ODINGA!

What a lie...what a let down.....he used his country and his so called Black brothers...to promote his own agenda...

He used the youth to promote change....CHANGE AMERICA....

as stated by Louis Farrakahn.

Sorry..and Welcome. Peace be with you!

I’m wondering exactly which ACORN scandal they’re finally irked about. The one where ACORN used intimidation and racketeering practices to make banks provide risky loans to unworthy borrowers, leading to our current economic meltdown? Is it the one where they defrauded their own stockholders to pocket millions for their leaders? Maybe it’s the one where their lobby contributions to corrupt politicians like Frank and Dodd prompted them to turn a blind eye to an obviously looming crisis? Or maybe the scandal that’s finally shedding light on the organization’s complete lack of standards and oversight to assure they stay within the law when pursuing voter registrations? It could be the scandal that we’re just uncovering where they’re now selling legitimate Social Security numbers straight off of registration forms to third parties for malicious intent? No, I’m guessing it’s their organized practice of forging, duplicating, fabricating, bribing, encouraging multiple registrations, and completing forms for corpses, children and pets. It took a while, but I guess people are finally seeing the light of the thug, Anti-American tool of corruption that is ACORN—and Barack Hussein Ubama is knee-deep in its operation.

CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!

McCAIN TAKING THE ABUSE AND INSULTS FROM OBAMA AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK IS OUTRAGEOUS!

WE’RE NOT TURNING THE WHITE HOUSE KEYS OVER TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA- NOT IF WE ON FR, RUSH, HANNITY AND FOX HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!

FReep McCAIN/ MSM OUT.

HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS??

.

McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.
The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just ain’t gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.

FReep ‘EM OUT!

CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!

Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!
Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!

Some Dems here in OK have already walked away along with the Hillary supporters who are now helping highlight the fraud from ACORN.

There are Dems I know here that are disgusted with the Obama/Dean/Pelosi/Reid camp that has taken over the Democrat Party. Even the state party in OK has been taken over by a far left person. Their candidate for Senate is a far left liberal.

Whenever I get made at the GOP, I look at their party and realize that theirs has been taken over by socialist.

Welcome to FR.

You will discover that the people who post on this site are not monolithic in their views- sometimes there are heated discussions between social conservatives and small-l libertarians (of which I am one).

And, as long as one does not stray too far into "tin foil hat" territory, there's an amazing tolerance for a diversity of opinion in what gets posted and commented on here- unlike places you've undoubtedly gone, like DU and Kos, where any deviation from the lockstep thoughtstyle of the Left will get you banned in a heartbeat.

People *do* get banned here, but it's fairly uncommon, unless they're outright trolls.

Occasionally a long-time poster gets banned, but it's infrequent enough to where it's newsworthy. That should tell you something.

Some may call you a troll and disruptor because you just joined, and while trolls *do* register (and especially lately as there appears to have been a directive for 0bots to post talking points as widely as possible in order to dilute the concentration of factual posting regarding 0), my personal take on new posters is to watch and see.

"By their posts you shall know them".

And I myself am not immune to this:

I tore somebody a new one before looking at their posting history and suffered a case of "poster's regret"- So I hit the "Report Abuse" button and asked the Admin Mods to remove my post.

Anyway, kick back and enjoy. And if you were involved in the campaign (either officially or as part of the grassroots) and have any illuminating information from those experiences, we do have a "Bloggers and Personal" category where such things can be posted. Just try to exercise quality control if you consider doing so, as a lot of them aren't worth reading.

And hang on, it's gonna be a bumpy October.

Obviously fake Obama supporters. Look at the words, like "totally lost confidence." Really? That is not how people express themselves who are confronted by doubts about something in which they have a high emotional stake.
