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.

We have probably had hundreds of people elected to Federal, State, and local elections by means of fraud. Fraud is as fraud does, so does it surprise anyone anymore how corrupt and inept the Government is at all levels? How can it function properly if the people who run it and make the decisions are appointed by people who were fraudulently elected?

That’s a nice attempt by the MSM to link this to McCain how unfortunate for that brain-dead moron that ACORN is already crying VRWC on this.

Speaking of brain-dead morons, I would love for an anti ACORN ad with that quote from Linney’s lovel little speech. Once again people in Hollywood prove not only do they NOT know better than the rest of us they know far less.

Don't mind me.

I'm just pissed that we have become so dumbed down that we can't even protect ourselves any longer, never mind elect anyone with any modicum of honesty, or American values.

Barry was a lawyer for ACORN. If this fraud fiasco team gets in the white house, just say goodbye to anything ressembling ethics. This dog and pony show will make the Clintons look clean!!.....

What every happened to RICO or organized crime laws being used against organizations like ACORN.

Oh, sorry, that is right these are organizations favored by Democrats. The laws of the US don't apply when the democratic party is involved. Democrats are above the law.

"Anyone else find the label “grass-roots” laughable when applied to ACORN?"

Grass does grow around the cesspool too...

The beleaguered Democratic-leaning community group Acorn sends over this photograph: John McCain, in March of 2006, sitting beside Florida Rep. Kendrick Meek at an event Acorn co-sponsored in Florida.

The immigration event, which other photos show was packed with red-shirted Acorn member, was co-sponsored by the local Catholic Archdiocese, the SEIU, and other groups.

McCain, still spiting much of his party on immigration at the time, was the headliner.

Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in a statement that came with the photo, “It has deeply saddened us to see Senator McCain abandon his historic support for ACORN and our efforts to support the goals of low-income Americans."

”We are sure that the extremists he is trying to get into a froth will be even more excited to learn that John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder with ACORN, at an ACORN co-sponsored event, to promote immigration reform," she said.

This doesn't wash. Just how "shoulder to shoulder" is McCain with ACORN? I guarantee it goes no deeper than the type of activity mentioned here. So does this woman also want to implicate the "local Catholic Archdiocese, the SEIU, and other groups" that also co-sponsored the event?

On the other hand, obama's ties to ACORN clearly go beyond appearing at a meeting that was co-sponsored by ACORN. It has ties directly to the experience he likes to tout - that of a "community organizer" - and he was a darned good one at that!

Another thing, this lady has an obvious agenda that literally drips in her thinly-veiled threats to tie John McCain with the organization.

What she's obviously trying to bring up here is Mac's efforts with immigration because she knows it riles the base, aka "frothing extremists." How bipartisan of her to try this.

The thing is, the base is well aware of his efforts and were disgusted with him over it, but there are more pressing issues at hand, and everyone is also aware of those.

Not surprising! They will do ANYTHING....and seemingly get
away with it....to get Hussein elected.

Just hope Norm Coleman can pull out his election or you’re
stuck with yet another clown for a senator. Yeesh!
