(CNSNews.com) – The media and the McCain campaign are involved in a “voter suppression campaign,” according to a top official with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

ACORN spokesman Brian Kettering told CNSNews.com Thursday that an effort to suppress and intimidate voters was being coordinated by the McCain campaign and “some members of the media,” including CNSNews.com.

“There is an orchestrated campaign – coming from the right – that is ultimately about voter suppression,” Kettering said in an interview. “We know that conservative media – and CNS is probably one of them – conservative organizations and the McCain campaign are running a concerted, coordinated effort,” Kettering said.

Yeah, the dead, redundant, and fictional voters have their rights, man ...

I am so disappointed this nation has opted to throw away the hard won high priced right to vote to the whims of thugs, cheats, slugs and ne’er do wells.

Yes, typical Commie strategy, a tried-and-true one - accuse the other side of that which you yourself are actually doing.

Yeah! The Dallas Cowboys offensive line needs to vote early and often, because they sure ain’t blocking worth a dump.

This seems to me to be a hard core communist tactic to accuse the people that want you to stop violating the law. ACORN breaks the law and then complains that we are pointing out that they are breaking the law. This is a scary situation.

There they come.  It's the MSM, ACORN, the terrorists among us, the professors and other Democrats who defend them.

Who stands up against these people.  And where better to do it than Free Republic.

“Why does Obama’s statement, that he wants a “National
Civilian Security Force” as strong and as well-funded
as our military (conjuring up images of the old-style
USSR police state) matter to me?”

If Barrack Hussein 0Bama is POTUS,we will have the
CCCP ( Communist Conformation Compelling Police )
based on ACORN, the Weathermen and other thugs.

Bingo! Amazing how well it works in putting your opponents on defense when in fact you are the one at fault.

somebody please tell me - why is it that we haven’t figured out a way for our brave men and women on active duty to have their votes counted? Is this not considered voter supression?

LOL! Talk about projection! Now that they’ve been caught trying to register Mickey Mouse, Tony Romo and others, they want to accuse the right of this? These people definitely live in an alternative reality.

I knew they would say something stupid like this. Acorn seems to be a nasty organization. Republicans can get people out to vote without an organization behind them. The Republicans just do it the old fashioned way...volunteer, walk, knock, call, give truthful information. I am so glad that the Democrats are so lazy and will win their third straight presidential election. I could not be happier. A very smart FRiend on this site mentioned that the Republicans will have the first African American President. I still believe that is true.
