ACORN’s Vote Fraud is Bad, but Attempted Vote Fraud is OK, says Jesse Jackson Jr.

One of ACORN's champions on Capitol Hill, Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Illinois), has an illuminating article in Arianna Huffington's gossip website, the Huffington Post.

After the names of several Dallas Cowboys football players showed up on voter rolls in Nevada, Jackson argued that "Obviously it’s not right for a fake ‘Tony Romo’ to be registered in Las Vegas...but remember the basic point — it’s not voter fraud unless someone shows up at the voting booth on Election Day and tries to pass himself off as ‘Tony Romo.’"

Meanwhile, Seth Colter Walls of the Huffington Post hasn't responded yet to our blog post that proves that Barack Obama worked for ACORN's Project Vote way back in 1992. The HuffPost and the Obama campaign have been trying without success to argue that Obama never worked for ACORN because, they say, Project Vote had nothing to do with ACORN back then.

And an article in the Politico today suggests that the ACORN-Obama link is somehow new. No, it's not. We reported on it in our profile of Barack Obama in the June Foundation Watch, and it was reported elsewhere previously.

It has also been widely reported that the Obama campaign funneled about $800,000 to an ACORN subsidiary called Citizens Services Inc. It is quite odd for a presidential campaign to make a donation to a charitable organization, and it's even stranger to give that donation to a group that is in the vote fraud business.

So, it's OK to attempt to commit vote fraud as long as you don't succeed?

That's exactly right!
And so long as no meaningful method of verifying registrations is allowed, there is NO WAY TO FIND OUT.

That must be the exact talking points from the DNC, since Alan Colmes of Hanity and Colmes made exactly the same argument yesterday...

Twilight Zone stuff...

this is what gets me

we know voter fraud is going on and we know the Dems do this.

here is what does me in
in some of these swing states how do we know that counties run by Dems will investigate this properly, we don’t know and this is the problem.

Surely republicans should look at these Dem areas and investigate this.

ref cheating

We went to a Greek festival in my town st Augustine Florida this weekend

Now the local kids like mine were asked if they wanted to make crafts and then sell them

My kids paid 10$ each of their own money and I paid 8$ for the table

We were told that food and drinks were not to be sold at all only crafts and arts

My kids spent a week painting and doing thing.

we set up and get ready to sell

My 10 year old looks over and sees a black girl from his school with a table who arrived an hour late, she was with her family

Now she was selling little snacks from the dollar shop and my son went and told the organiser who was student at flager college.
She said to him that it’s OK not to bother with them
he said again that they were told no food and drinks and that many of the other kids had done a lot of work where as her mother went and bought a load of cheap junk food from the dollar shop and selling it for 3 to 4 times as much.
plus she never paid for the table

He came back to me and told me all this and asked why they never went by the rules and what was the point of going by the rules

you know what, he was right.

That kid with her family had now just told her kid that it’s OK to not go by the rules, not to do any work to make money and cheat

disgusting

course I expected for the organiser to actually call us racist because we pointed their cheating out
