ACORN voter fraud allegation surfaces in Minnesota
Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) ^ | 10/14/08 | Paul Walsh - Staff Reporter

Posted on 10/14/2008 12:18:48 PM PDT by MplsSteve

The ACORN voter fraud dispute that has surfaced in many states this election season has now come up in Minnesota.

The Hennepin County attorney's office said this afternoon that is investigating an allegation that an individual with the ACORN grass-roots community organization "did not fully comply with Minnesota voter registration rules."

County Attorney Mike Freeman will be briefing reporters in more detail later this afternoon.

Wow, I like this kind of news!

My hope is that we can tie ACORN's shenanigans to Obama and create a feeling of dsitrust (of Obama) among undecided voters.

Comments or opinions - anyone?

I think the GOP is really playing this pretty well, so far. Every day it seems there’s another state added to the list. Then hopefully a strong TV ad campaign tying Obama to ACORN, like at least one video ad has done.

From the tiny ACORN grows the mighty oak.

From the mighty oak hangs corrupt politicians.

I caught a clip of some woman commenting on MSNBC earlier today.
She claimed there were no ACORN ties to Obama.

And then she mentioned that McCain spoke at an ACORN event.

I could not stop myself from yelling “Lies!”

We will probably get all states coming out with this info and the media will keep it hush hush. When you have a candidate give more than $800,000 dollars (maybe millions) to a fraud-filled organization, it screams.

Hello. Especially when Obama has trained them and been their lawyer. This country is in the tubes. If the One becomes president, God help us all. It will be the beginning of the end.

If the MSM pursued this story like it did Enron, it would be the end of Obama, which is precisely why they won’t.

Is it a lie? I can’t find the post that was here earlier, but here’s a politico story on it:

http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/Acorn_pushes_back_hugs_McCain.html?showall

I’m not suggesting it isn’t a lie, I’m actually asking.

It does kind of sound like something McCain would do...

ACORN = MONEY LAUNDERING FOR THE DEMOCRATS........ Who is Vera Baker? Does she have ties to Tony Rezko?

There are questions to be asked and answered. Why did her web site disappear Sunday when the posters of Free republic outted her web site and the possibility of her being tied to a credit card money laundring factory for Obama in Martinique. Could this be tied to ACORN?

Was she Barack's love interest or just a Fundraiser bundler of soft money? Did this money go to ACORN? She has ties and history raising funds for Barack and for the Congressional Black Caucus.

Why did the DNC allow the campaign to move from DNC HQ in DC to Chicago where David Axlerod and his minions could hide and control the dirty games that possibly have taken place with illegal contributions for across the world like the $35,000 from the Edwan Brothers in Ga. No that’s not Georgia but Gaza Strip in the Middle East. But we all know that Barack is a friend of Israel and that the Brother’s got carried away in the moment of donating $35,000 to Obama.

I hope that somebody has the sense to check bank accounts, credit card records and transaction prior to the election find our where all the ACORN funds came from as this really reeks of money laundering. The FEC and FBI and Secret Service along with other Government agencies need to make this a top issue before the election.

Did some of this Laundered money go to ACORN. Can an audit of ACORN'S sources of funds be tracked to domestic and foreign bank accounts? We already know that Obama’s Campaign gave acorn more then $800,000 for voter registration. Wanna bet its bigger dollars (millions) from offshore accounts?

So yes this is a smoking gun! Does it involve Rezko ,Axlerod and Obama I bet it does. Does the Main Street Media pick it up! Probably not as we are just bloggers and speculators of what occurred and don’t have any power to do much about it unless we spread the word to our friends and fellow bloggers on the net. Please make your voices heard on the net.

Frankly, I’m not as concerned about linking this to BO as I’m concerned about the stealing of an Americans sacred right going unpunished!

Don’t hear much about the Odinga connection either, which as bad as this is, I think may be much worse: A sitting member of the US Senate campaigning for a Kenyan communist thug and communicating with him while the deadly riots he induced are killing thousands of Kenyan citizens. Nothing to see here, moving along.

It is too little to late.

This problem should have been dealt with years ago. I admit that several years ago I did not take this seriously.

The 2000 elections changed all that for me. The results were so crazy something had to be going on.

The idea that my vote is going to be zeroed out piS*es me off to no end.

There is no time to fix this now and in an election such as this where the clear choice for us Americans is Republic or Socialism this has brought to bear of the danger our way of life is in.

I listened to several talk shows today and they all are going up to the edge but not saying it. I sense a fear over the airways.

If Barak Obama gets elected, you can kiss any semblence of fair elections goodbye. I am not paranoid either. People in official positions, ACORN and others like them, the fact that Obama said to ACORN that they will be included in the shaping of policy, people are waiting in the wings to await thier orders once Obama gets elected, the media. They are poised to change the face of America in ways you couldn’t imagine in your worse nightmare.

Nothing is going to be done about this before the election and I guarantee you nothing will be done after.
