Obama’s community organizing friends are crooks

There have been quite a few reports about how Barack Obama’s friends at ACORN have been trying to steal the election. Check out today’s great piece in the Wall Street Journal.

It’s about time someone exposed this shady outfit that uses government dollars to lobby for larger government…

All this money gives Acorn the ability to pursue its other great hobby: electing liberals. Acorn is spending $16 million this year to register new Democrats and is already boasting it has put 1.3 million new voters on the rolls. The big question is how many of these registrations are real.

There have been some great examples of the corrupt organization’s attempt to register people to vote multiple times. One person in Ohio told the media that he was registered a total of 73 times!

ACORN has endorsed Obama and will be working very hard to elect him. Democrats already take our money and redistribute it to these left-wing thugs, so look for president Obama to continue repaying his allies if he is elected.

The Journal piece continues,

Which brings us to Mr. Obama, who got his start as a Chicago “community organizer” at Acorn’s side. In 1992 he led voter registration efforts as the director of Project Vote, which included Acorn. This past November, he lauded Acorn’s leaders for being “smack dab in the middle” of that effort. Mr. Obama also served as a lawyer for Acorn in 1995, in a case against Illinois to increase access to the polls…

The Justice Department needs to treat these fraud reports as something larger than a few local violators. The question is whether Acorn is systematically subverting U.S. election law — on the taxpayer’s dime.
