ACORN

Recently, Barack Obama's personal associations have become a troublesome issue for the Obama campaign. The responses from Obama campaign aides has been comical to say the least. Every day is a new sound clip with a new story that edges around the real issues. However, Obama's most disturbing association (besides a terrorist colleague, racist pastor, and many criminal cronies) is with the group ACORN.

This article is downright disturbing. Stanley Kurtz's article showcases some of the issues inside Obama's ACORN. Unfortunately, the media is just now starting to bring up Obama's past and his personal affiliations and associations. Yes, we've seen a blip on MSNBC or a story tucked away in the back pages of the New York Times, but this is for real.

It took the national media 21 months to "uncover" these stories that are now being reported...sparingly.

Our media is playing politics?? Nahhh

A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.

"Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they'll give me a dollar to sign up," said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

"The ACORN people are everywhere, looking to sign people up. I tell them I am already registered. The girl said, 'You are?' I say, 'Yup,' and then they say, 'Can you just sign up again?' " he said.
