Obama and the Acorn

This is a post written by Michelle Malkin:

If you don’t know what ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is all about, you better bone up. This left-wing group takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers — you and me — and has leveraged nearly four decades of government subsidies to fund affiliates that promote the welfare state and undermine capitalism and self-reliance, some of which have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and encouraging voter fraud. A new whistleblower report from the Consumer Rights League documents how Chicago-based ACORN has commingled public tax dollars with political projects.

Who in Washington will fight to ensure that your money isn’t being spent on these radical activities?

Don’t bother asking Barack Obama. He cut his ideological teeth working with ACORN as a “community organizer” and legal representative. Naturally, ACORN’s political action committee has warmly endorsed his presidential candidacy. ACORN head Maude Hurd gushes that Obama is the candidate who “best understands and can affect change on the issues ACORN cares about” — like ensuring their massive pipeline to your hard-earned money. Let’s take a closer look at the ACORN Obama knows.
Last July, ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State. Seven ACORN workers had submitted nearly 2,000 bogus voter-registration forms. According to case records, they flipped through phone books for names to use on the forms, including “Leon Spinks,” “Frekkie Magoal” and “Fruto Boy Crispila.” Three ACORN election hoaxers pleaded guilty in October. A King County prosecutor called ACORN’s criminal sabotage “an act of vandalism upon the voter rolls.”

The group’s vandalism on electoral integrity is systemic. ACORN has been implicated in similar voter-fraud schemes in Missouri, Ohio, and at least 12 other states. The Wall Street Journal noted: “In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey. During a congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained ACORN’s practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected months earlier.”

In March, Philadelphia elections officials accused the nonprofit advocacy group of filing fraudulent voter registrations in advance of the April 22nd Pennsylvania primary. The charges have been forwarded to the city district attorney’s office.

Under the guise of “consumer advocacy,” ACORN has received money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD funds hundreds, if not thousands, of left-wing “anti-poverty” groups across the country led by ACORN. Last October, HUD announced more than $44 million in new housing-counseling grants to over 400 state and local efforts. The White House has increased funding for housing counseling by 150 percent since George W. Bush took office in 2001, despite the role most of these recipients play as activist satellites of the Democratic Party. The AARP scored nearly $400,000 for training; the National Council of La Raza (“The Race”) scooped up more than $1.3 million; the National Urban League raked in nearly $1 million; and the ACORN Housing Corporation received more than $1.6 million.
As the Consumer Rights League points out in its new exposé, the ACORN Housing Corporation has worked to obtain mortgages for illegal aliens in partnership with Citibank. It relies on undocumented income, “under the table” money, which may not be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. Moreover, the group’s “financial justice” operations attack lenders for “exotic” loans, while recommending 10-year interest-only loans (which deny equity to the buyer) and risky reverse mortgages. Whistleblower documents reveal internal discussions among the group that blur the lines between its tax-exempt housing work and its aggressive electioneering activities. The group appears to shake down corporate interests with relentless PR attacks, and then enters “no lobby” agreements with targeted corporations after receiving payment.
Republicans have largely looked the other way as ACORN has expanded its government-funded empire. But finally, a few conservative voices in Congress have called for investigation of the group’s apparent extortion schemes. This week, GOP Reps. Tom Feeney, Jeb Hensarling, and Ed Royce called on Democrat Barney Frank, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, to convene a hearing to probe potential illegalities and abuse of taxpayer funds by ACORN’s management and minions alike.

Where does the candidate of Hope and Change — the candidate of Reform and New Politics — stand on the issue? Barack Obama, ACORN’s senator, is for more of the same old, same old subsidizing of far-left politics in the name of fighting for the poor while enriching ideological cronies. That’s the Chicago way.

Jeremiah Wright the racist

Only after these sermons hit the airwaves did Mr. Obama disown his church of 20 years. Mr. wright is a racist and Mr. Obama has been a member for the better part of his life. How can we possibly believe that Mr. Obama does not buy into his word. Unbelievable that he is getting a free pass on this.



3 days after saying that he had no intention of leaving the church, Mr. Obama disowned his church. Also Oprah Winfrey told A news magazine that she left the church in the 80's because Mr. wright was a racist and she did not buy into what he was preaching. So if Oprah heard this in the 80's how come Mr. Obama was not hearing the same sermons. Or did he only show 46% of the time, same as he showed up to vote in the Illinois Senate. You Mr. Obama are a liar.



This is the racist that Obama called his friend and spiritual advisor for 20 years. he is a racist and he hates America.
Need I say more?

Keeping an eye on Obama is critical

Yes I mean critical. Who is this guy? Until he decided to run for President, we knew absolutely nothing of him, and it seems that we now know just as much about Mr. Obama as we did 2 years ago. The young people are hysterical about him, the women are drooling over him and the dem-libs just can't seem to get enough of his eloquent speeches. I, for one, want to know more. It seems that every time some one decides to bring up his past affiliations, the racist card comes flying in. Every one, including the media, wants to give Mr. Obama a free pass on his background and affiliations. I always thought that the company you keep was a true testament to your character. If you are not a thief, why would you associate with them? if you are not a terrorist, why would you associate with them? If you are not a racist, why would you subscribe to their church for 20 years? And it seems that Mr. Obama has a long list of shady characters in his background.
While Mr. Obama claims to tackle the hard issues head-on, his voting record says just the opposite. It seems that Barrack Obama has missed 303 votes (46.3%) during the current Congress. How could he possibly miss 46% of the votes. Unbelievable. Please go here for a full list of missed votes. His continuing absence of votes and his "Present" vote are just ways to side step the tough issues and keep his supporters guessing at where he truly stands. Speaking of supporters, it looks like the great Colin Powell has decided to turn democrat. Well, that suits me just fine because he is a liar and a war criminal and I think Powell and Obama will make a great team. The Great liar and The great speaker. Both empty suits.
Ok, lets move on to Mr. Obama and the Rev. Wright. (Longtime friend and confidant)
Mr. Wright is absolutely one of the most racist men that has ever walked the planet. And it seems that Mr. Obama has been a member of his church for over 20 years. How could you possibly subscribe to the same church for over 20 years and not believe in the word that your pastor is preaching? here is a nice little piece from The Washington Post that tells why Oprah Winfrey left Mr. Wright's church way back in the 80's.
But Mr. Obama continued to be a part of his church for many more years, only disowning the church after he announced his run for office and Mr. Wright's rantings about Whitey's oppression came to light.
Or how about Mr. Obama and the domestic terrorist William Ayers. This has got to be one of the most blatant free passes that the media and the general dem-lib public can give. Ayers is a terrorist, nothing more nothing less. He set bombs off in his own country to kill innocent civilians and even boasts that he did not do enough. If not for having evidence suppressed on a technacality, he would have been sentenced to death for domestic terrorism. Even the F.B.I. is pissed off about this free pass. No one is questioning this tie. Even one dinner together with a terrorist should be enough to disqualify Mr. Obama from holding our Nation's highest honor.
Lets move on to Mr. Rezko. He is nothing more than a gangster and Mr. Obama has had some land dealings with him that have recently come under scrutiny. Sure, Mr. Obama has been able to explain some of these things away, even calling them mistakes. But the bottom line is; Mr. Obama knew that Mr. Rezko was a shady gangster and continued to do business with him. Even accepting campaign contributions from him and then when Mr. Rezko's shady past come to light, he donated Mr. Rezko's contribution to charity.
And then there is A.C.O.R.N. To what extent is Mr. Obama's ties to them. We know that he represented them in court. We also know that he contributed money to them, for what we still do not know. we have only his word. And remember that he is an eloquent speaker, so everything he says must be the gospel truth.
And lets not forget Dorothy Tillman. Now this woman is a lunatic. Mr Obama has been endorsing her for many years and she is nothing more than an extortionist trying to squeeze white America for every penny that she can get. She is a strong advocate for slave reparations and has held Chicago businesses in a grip of fear for more than a decade, and she could possibly have a voice in the White House if Mr. Obama is elected. I for one do not want to pay anyone, anything for something that I had no part of.
So Mr. Obama, the eyes of our great country are on you. If your intentions and your heart are in the right place we will know soon enough. But I still do not believe that you are the righteous man that you say that you are. With your history of cocaine use, past affiliations and the way you have been able to dodge some of the real issues lead me to believe the I do. If you were applying for any low level government job, your back ground check would almost certainly disqualify you. How can you possibly be ready to tale the most sacred position this great country has to offer.

Some great Obama Quotes:

Before I sign out for the day I have one final thought. If I were to ask 100 black males over the age of 40 if they thought that the white man was holding them down, or if they felt any hatred for the white man, how many would answer yes?
