Obama Lawyer Asks for Probe of Republican Voter-Fraud Claims
By Jeff Bliss
Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Barack Obama's campaign attorney today asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to add a probe into allegedly false Republican claims of voter fraud to the investigation into the firings of U.S. attorneys.
Republican voter-fraud accusations ``seek both to suppress the vote and to unduly influence investigations and prosecutions,'' wrote Robert Bauer, general counsel for the Democratic presidential nominee. He made the statement in a letter to Mukasey and special prosecutor Nora Dannehy, who is looking into the nine U.S. attorney firings in 2006.
Republican rival John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, have tried to make voter fraud an issue in the election. Yesterday, media reports said the Federal Bureau of Investigation was looking into accusations of fraud involving the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN.

Its unbelievable...Stalinism is alive and well. “We question your right to question us”.
So let me get this straight. The 0bama campaign is asking the Department of Justice to investigate the Republican Party because of its concerns about vote fraud and voter fraud, because the Dems consider it "vote suppression"?
We are living in Bizarro World.
