Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, making the case that the charges against ACORN aren't relevant, called them a "smokescreen" and a "permission structure" for attempts to disenfranchise voters.
"This is just the start of what is going to be a very deliberate and cynical attempt to create confusion, to challenge people inappropriately," he said.
The amount of time the GOP is spending driving a message about ACORN is, indeed, striking — any day that's about ACORN isn't about experience, or Obama's associations, or McCain's biography, or the economy. So far, it hasn't been met by a legal effort to challenge voters on the ground, though that could change.
Plouffe, in any case, noted the focus on the conservative message machine: "We understand that Fox News Channel is turning themselves into the 24-hour ACORN channel," he said.

“you arent close to the target if you arent getting any flak”
-FReeper from a few days ago, pardon me not remembering
“Challenging people who have registered 72 times? That’s racist!!”
That was the general tone of the questioners at the presser on CSPAN.
ACORN....counting every vote.....as many times as we can.
ACORN is stripping away the voters voice - one bogus ballot at a time. Voters want their own voices heard, no matter who ACORN is working for. To most voters, ACORN’s attack on their right to vote is PERSONAL.
Yeah, I saw an interview with the guy. He was asked if the ACORN worker told him filling out 73 voter registration cards was illegal. He said, “If they’d told me it was illegal, I wouldn’t have done it.” (Or, maybe he said, “I wouldn’t a did it.”)
Look no more, this is our October surprise
yes focus on the big three!!!
abortion
acorn
ayers
that is the attack narrative.
All I can say is thank goodness for Fox News Channel. If they weren’t covering this, you’d only hear about it on talk radio...and it would get buried.
Can we get a definition of inappropriately???
"If your numbers are small, hide them in the darkness, but raise such a clatter people will begin to believe there are many more of you." -- Saul Alinski (Obomas Jesus, and Alinksi's writings the left wings Holy Bible)
To understand the liberals tactics, read up on Saul Alinski. As soon as you do, you'll understand how and why they've gotten away with the things they have - since the 1960's.
I never thought I’d see the day that dim flacks would say with a straight face that voter fraud is not an important issue.
Remember all the flap about the fired federal prosecutors? Well most of those prosecutors were fired for refusing to investigate voter fraud. In WA State, that fraud was directly tied to ACORN. The federal prosecutor refused the case, saying that he didn’t see any evidence of conspiracy. In other words, he claimed that the low level ACORN workers acted solely on their own.
Yeah, right.
ACORN = Fannie/Freddie/Financial Meltdown.
What can us average Joes do to help the situation? I feel powerless.
