Barack Obama's Involvement With ACORN Unearthed, Missing Article Discovered

While Barack Obama's connection with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has not gone entirely unreported, it has not been fully explained. Most media background pieces simply note Obama's involvement in a 1995 lawsuit on behalf of ACORN. Obama's own website, as well as most major media, fail to reveal the full depth and extent of his relationship with the organization.

Attempts to hide evidence of Obama's involvement with ACORN have included wiping the web clean of potentially damaging articles that had appeared, and were previously publicly accessible. Unfortunately, those behind the attempted cover-up failed to realize that in today's day and age, nothing disappears forever. There also exists another layer of the web, the hidden web, which is full of information included in proprietary scholarly databases where these very same "missing" articles can be easily uncovered.

Obama's campaign website states: Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.

Is that really a FACT, or just another lie?

Let's take a look at a quote from a 2004 article - Case Study: Chicago- The Barack Obama Campaign - written by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN Leader, which was published in the journal Social Policy. Did we mention that Social Policy recently pulled this particular article from their website, while leaving links to all other articles up?

There’s a picture of Obama with the ACORNS at the site.

After this article was found, Obama changed his lie on his web site. LIAR!!

Send this to EVERY Obama supporter you know. Ask them, if they care at all about what happened to the Hillary supporters during the primary!

The left in the US is no different than the left anywhere else.

We can be nice about their attempts to rule us (and lose like every other country that tried to be "nice" about it) or we can fight and destroy them before they destroy us.

Make no mistake about it, it's one or the other.

They are already pronouncing those on the right that get angry and want to fight as "out of control", "mob-like", etc. While they work to publicly destroy Palin and say simply awful and untrue things about her, while they commit voter fraud on a huge scale, etc.

People, this is the same tactic they have always used.

Their goal is to take your confidence -- to confuse your natural self-defense mechanism. They are using your ethics against you. There is nothing unethical about self-defense! There is nothing wrong with vigorously defending your freedom.

Unfortunately, even some "leaders" on the right are buying into it and making bizarre statements about how we should not be so angry, and not put up a real fight.

Folks, the left will take your "high-road" and shove it right up your a** -- don't buy into this.

If you "turn the other cheek" they will rip it off. They are relentless--you are a sitting duck if you don't actively work against their onslaught.

We either fight or lose to the left.

Hey, multiple links are just more exposure of the truth, and that's a good thing.

Sarah Palin said that she needs OUR help to get the MSM to report on the REAL issues. She’ll fight them, but she said she can’t do it alone. The article above is one of those issues! They need to know that WE know about it. Please help Sarah take on the MSM by sending a link to this article to the media contacts below:

Today, the cover-ups continue and language on Obama's fightthesmears.com website has been altered in order to make it look like he has been telling the truth about his ACORN associations all along.

Fortunately, we and many others online know how to do a screen capture and how to use a little something called Google Cache.

As of yesterday, Fightthesmears.com stated:

Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.

Sometime on Friday, the website was altered, and the text was changed to state:

Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee.

The mere fact that his campaign has now changed the language of the site shows that they have conceded the fact that their original remark was a bold-face lie. As a lawyer Sen. Obama should know the importance of language.

The original statement implied that he had no working connection with ACORN, whereas the new statement now insists that he has never been employed or hired by ACORN. It is good to see the truth finally come out now, but why were they trying to hide his association with ACORN, and what else is Obama lying to us about? Perhaps the biggest question now is how and why they got the Social Policy article stricken from most of the world wide web in the first place. What are they trying to hide?

obama is arguing semantics, OBAMA DID WORK WITH PROJECT VOTE WHICH IS OWNED BY ACORN.

[DiogenesLaertius]

I think the wallstreet journal is our best bet. Its at the crossroads of being an elite member of the WSJ while not being held hostage by liberal groupthink. Some of this stuff has to come out before election day and quicklY!

[Earthdweller]

Absolutely...thugs are thugs..no matter what color they are. Obama’s color is nothing but a distraction. He is a part of a criminal enterprise/movement that has taken over the real Dem party. It has to be stopped now.

[Techster]

bttt

[longtermmemmory]

acorn was not part of project vote

project vote WAS PART of acorn

and Bill Clinton did not have sex, only monica had sex...

[longtermmemmory]

you do realize the WSJ is more left wing than the NYT in its news division.

the editorial page is unique for the dinosaur media, the news division is typical left wing NYC liberalism.

[word_warrior_bob]

When they say he never worked for ACORN in any other capacity - LIE

Working AS THEIR ATTORNEY is a capacity. LIAR!!
