Amazing, this has to be reported by the Brits to get any airplay over here.

Hannity is right, US Journalism died in 2008

Through the Woods Fund, Obama also funnelled millions of dollars to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). Described by an academic sympathiser as 'a uniquely militant organisation', ACORN played a significant role in the sub-prime scandal - which detonated America's financial crisis - by physically intimidating banks into lowering credit standards for poor and minority customers.

The Obama campaign has paid an ACORN subsidiary $800,000 to register new voters. But now, numerous states are launching investigations into massive voter fraud being carried out by ACORN activists who are being caught falsifying voter registration cards, registering fictitious individuals and hounding voters to register multiple times.

But Obama's connections with ACORN go even deeper. Even though his campaign has denied this, for several years running he trained its activists and in 1992 even ran one of its voter registration projects.

Hannity is doing a look-see into Obama’s past tonight. Stay tuned.

I hope he covers when Obama was in Kenya, campaigning for Odinga. And maybe on the taxpayers dime. That needs to be brought up again and again.

I think it died a long time ago. The smell of the rotting stench just now got to the nostrils of most Americans.

This one was a hard one to excerpt! It’s all good.

Thank you Melanie Philips!

That was my first thought as well, why is this being reported in the UK Daily Mail and not in the US Media?

Brit journalism is generally just as bad as American journalism. Melanie Phillips, the fine author of this posted article, is the exception.

This may sound too incredible for words. But what's really incredible is that, with dozens of reporters feverishly combing Alaska for any evidence to tarnish Sarah Palin, the mainstream media has largely refused to investigate any of this.

Thank you, Ms. Phillips, for doing the job our pathetic major news outlets will not.
