Oh, so you admit Obama has links to ACORN... I bet if a republican has/had a history with a like organization you'd be spinning it ad nauseam...

More on OBAMA Connection with ACORN and CSI Said to be a factor in 2008 Elections This writer's opinion is of interest in exploring the connection in Maryland-------- noquarterusa.net ACORN IV: Obama, ACORN, Citizen’s Services Inc: False FEC Filings By NancyAcloseAuthor: NancyA Name: Nancy A Site: About: See Authors Posts (32) on August 15, 2008 at 11:55 AM in Acorn, Barack Obama, Campaign Financing, Crime, Current Affairs, Federal Elections Commission, Fund raising, Legal Challenge, Louisiana, Missouri, Obama, Ohio, Voter Fraud, Washington state, corruption "Irrefutable evidence indicates that Obama’s campaign has been doing business with CSI, which appears to have been operating fraudulently in the State of Maryland and Ohio, and ACORN, which has been associated with a laundry list of fraudulent business practices. The full nature of the relationship between ACORN and Citizens Services Inc is not known but this much is clear: both share the same address in New Orleans and officials with CSI refer folks to ACORN for questions about “political consulting” and “Get-Out-The-Vote” activities. These are questions that mainstream media should examine. According to Wikipedia, ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, was founded in 1970 as “a community organization of low- and moderate-income families that addresses housing, schools, neighborhood safety, health care, job conditions, and other social issues that affect its members.” Voter registration has been a major activity for the organization and ACORN has been working actively to register voters on behalf of the Obama campaign. According to the Milwaukee Journal Online, The ACORN effort is part of a massive voter registration drive aimed at the fall presidential election, which is expected to pit Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois against Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona. Although voter registration and Get Out the Vote drives seem like noble activities, in fact, not all of ACORNs dealings have been legal, and once again ACORN is facing investigation for illegal voter registration: Criminal investigations could be launched against at least six voter registration workers who tried to add dead, imprisoned or imaginary people to the voter rolls, according to the Milwaukee Election Commission and the organization that employed them. This is not the first time that ACORN has been under criminal investigation. I have already looked at Obama’s connections to ACORN and put into context ACORN’s fraudulent activities during the primary election season here, and here.
