A lawyer involved with legal action against Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) told a House Judiciary subcommittee on March 19 The New York Times had killed a story in October that would have shown a close link between ACORN, Project Vote and the Obama campaign because it would have been a “a game changer

When the ACORN fraud came out during obama's campaign, many blogs started posting with comments. A few led right back to Obama's campaign website personal blogs. Obama supporters said it was a game changer if the allegations were true. The blogs reporting obama's supporters comments were on a count down to see how fast obama had them scrubbed.

Some comments;

This ACORN stuff is really really bad. As a voter, I really need to know that Obama wasn’t funding an organization that willingly engaged in voter fraud. This could be a game changer for me.

I think it is very important for Barack Obama to address this issue before it gets out-of-control. If Obama has paid them to register voters and if ACORN has been shown to do illegal things this could blow up in the campaigns face. I would strongly suggest that the campaign does not dodge this issue. If ACORN is doing illegal things, Obama should get out from underneath it.

There is so much talk within this campaign, by Biden, Obama and supporters, about the lies and comments coming from the McCain campaign regarding Ayres and Acorn. I have investigated both topics, and at this point have been unable to identify any lies out of the McCain camp. Indeed, there is a great deal of information tying Obama to Ayres, and to the corrupt company Acorn. Today the FBI announced raids on many Acorn offices - within Obama’s target states. Since Obama has paid that company $800,000 to hire Acorn to register people in these same states, what are we to think about the connection between Obama and Acorn? What are we to think about the ‘increases’ in registration, when Directors of Elections in various states, and the FBI report hundreds of thousands false forms having been filed by Acorn (and they have been shown on the news).

We now have the problem of questioning 1) voter registration and actual voting in these states; 2) Obama’s responses to criticism. And if we have to question all of that, then how can we take at face value anything this ticket says?

For my part, I feel very let down. I feel a total lack of trust in this team, and in what has been voiced in the various sound bites and rhetoric. Let’s face it - it looks BAD that the company this campaign hired at a large sum of money (the same company Obama worked for over years, including doing their training), the same company that has been under investigation and lawsuits for over 10 years, is now under seige of the FBI for fraud. This looks bad, and frankly it smacks of desperation and a determination to do anything, no matter the cost, to get elected.

This is a campaign of change? From what? to What? This sounds like Chicago politics as usual.

ACORN MAJOR PROBLEM - URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama campaign - you have a real situation on your hands w/ this Acorn dilema. Who cares about Wright and Ayers, but FRAUD, this is huge. Your entire campaign has centered around trust and change and this could completely tarnish your reputation. You, Obama, need to get on TV RIGHT NOW and explain the situation. This cannot linger in hopes of it dying down and it needs to be addressed before the McCain camp attacks. I would suggest you telling the American people, that you are appalled and don’t condone this activity and that you will put up you own money (personal or campaign) to ensure that no this situation is fixed. You must explain what is going on and separate yourself from this activity……NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m still undecided. I am very concerned about all the news about Ayers, Wright, Farakan, Rezko, ACORN, etc. Please convince me i have nothing to worry about.

In other words, “Say it ain’t so, Barry.”

Muscle for money like this one we taxpayers probably paid for in either the bailout money (That Geithner cannot find), or the stimulus? You bet obama used his job reparations funds for this one.

Acorn bus to AIG homes?

I can’t remember the last time I saw something that so obviously made me say out loud to myself “Huh. Who woulda thunk it.”

It cries out for Captain Obvious...

Ya know, I really think the major media players in this actually did not realize (turned a blind eye) how bad Obama was. The Dems could have run a dead lizard - the media just wanted anyone but a Republican. They payed no attention to the man behind the curtain and his real goals. I think they are now as stupified as can be in seeing what he really is. Oh sure, there might be some (even quite a few) who fully support his views and values. But I think many are simply startled to find out that what they thought were "smears" against Zero, were actually truths. They now are finding they are behind the rock and a hard place because they didn't do their jobs, or their duty to the country in exposing the questions about this man. Bit by bit, the true horror stories about Obama, his past...his connections...his arrogance, etc. are now seeping out of the rocks.

But, for me, all that keeps coming out about the character who sleeps in our White House just makes me want to vomit anymore. How we can live through the rest of his term is beyond my imagination

Well, it turns out the gray lady is just a common street whore.

The Times helping its favorite political party once again. I don’t know if Obama will fail, but I sure hope his propaganda arm at the Times fails.

A very clear and provable case of Electoral Fraud. Electoral fraud is illegal interference with the process of an election. Acts of fraud involve affecting vote counts to bring about a desired election outcome.

Fraud only needs proven “intent” to convict. The proof of that intent is now on record in the Congress.

0bama claims to be transparent. I believe him. I think we all believe him.

He’s as transparent as they come, we knew it, we all saw right through him, and tried to warn anyone who would listen.

How is this not conspiracy and obstruction of justice on the part of The NY Slimes?

We all know real supporters of Obama found nothing in his past or in the way his presidential candidacy to be “troubling”. Those posts were from McCain plants.

Now that he rules the world, thou shalt not speak out against Der Leader.

If you dare to question the messiah expect state Attorney Generals to launch investigations against you for all types of wrongs. The State Police will make sure nothing “unapproved”, ala Missouri, is said, or find the IRS auditing your tax returns.

I fully expect anyone who has information on illegal activities Obama and/or those associated with him who attempts to go public or testify will end up dumped in a ditch somewhere, shot execution style.

I posted this on another thread about this topic, but I’ll copy it here, too. Perhaps others here on this thread may remember a discussion here about the rumors mentioned below:

**********
Around the same time during the election folks over on the PUMA website were chattering about Fitzgerald’s investigation of ACORN and other Chicago Political improprieties. The rumors that were supposedly floating around the Federal Courthouse in Chicago had Obama tied in with the ACORN investigation (as well as Pelosi, Reid, etc...)

I wonder if this NY Times story had something to do with that as well. I also wonder if Clinton’s people are holding something over Obama... How else could someone so “new” rise so far, so fast in the DNC? He hadn’t paid ANY dues, but I’ll bet they saw someone they could use.

Blago fell — speculatively of course — perhaps as a result of the investigations around ACORN and Obama that ended up catching Blago... Obama himself is one of the few people who almost assuredly had stuff dug up on him during the investigations. Fitzegerald (a Clinton appointee) may indeed have the “goods” on Obama.
