Obama: Criticism of ACORN Is Meant to Supress the Vote
JammieWearingFool —
... . A subsidiary of the group was paid $800,000 by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign to register voters for the 2008 primaries, and ACORN's political wing endorsed Obama back in February. Seems pretty clear to me who's doing the lying here. Poor Barry, now he's whining about distractions . Obama replied: "first of all, my relationship to ACORN is pretty straightforward. It's probably 13 years ago when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that representation was the US Justice Department in having Illinois implement what was ...

... Not quite under the bus , but off the bus and hearing the engine being gunned. Obama replied: “[F]irst of all, my relationship to ACORN is pretty straightforward. It’s probably 13 years ago when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that representation was the US Justice Department in having Illinois implement what was called the ‘Motor Voter’ law, to make sure that people could go to DMV’s and drivers’ license facilities to get registered.. It wasn’t being implemented. That was my relationship and is my relationship to ACORN.“There is an ACORN ...
Obama on ACORN’s Massive Voter Fraud: Its Just a Distraction that Could Be Used as an Excuse for Voter Supression

No, for real… he really says this. So this is another one of these distractions that gets stirred up in the course of a campaign.“But what I want to make sure of, is that this is not used as an excuse for the kind of voter suppression strategies and tactics that we’ve seen in the past. Let’s just make sure everybody is voting, everybody’s registered. Let’s make sure that everybody’s doing it in a lawful way.” He also ...
Court Reversal In Ohio ACORN Case, Barry Calls Distraction

... fraud.
A three-judge panel of the 6th Circuit had disagreed last week, but the full court’s ruling trumped the panel’s decision.
Finally, some sanity. Of course, you know the Left will not like this very much, despite their constant calls for election reform since they lost in 2000.
Allahpundit has it covered, and has some video showing how the ACORN narrative has finally broken through to the regular MSM.

... , and has some video showing how the ACORN narrative has finally broken through to the regular MSM. Related, Barry brings up the “D” word “But this isn’t a situation where there’s actually people who are going to try to vote ’cause these are phony names,” Obama said. “And, it’s doubtful (Dallas Cowboys quarterback) Tony Romo (whose name has been fraudulently submitted) is gonna show up in Ohio to vote. So this is another one of these distractions that gets stirred up in the course of a campaign. Uh huh. And, if this was a non-partisan group that happened to be registering ...
Obama: "We Don't Need ACORN's Help"
Open Left - Front Page —
In a mostly laudable defense of ACORN's practices, Obama lets slip a little dig at the organization.
"There is an ACORN organization in Chicago," Obama continued. "They have been active. As an elected official, I've had interactions with them. But they are not advising our campaign. We've got the best voter registration and turnout and volunteer operation in politics right now and we don't need ACORN's help. Mike Lux has a term for treating allies well called 'glue politics'. Obama is good at such 'glue politics' when it comes ...

Don't tell Harry Reid about this--besides, it probably wouldn't help much anyway. As good a theory as any; certainly a lot more believable than the theories about the maternity of Trig Palin. 9. Voter registration fraud doesn't mean voter fraud...does it? Does it? Besides, they don't need ACORN's help to commit voter registration fraud! They don't need much, ...

... its employees. In addition to the extensive union-busting detailed by the NLRB (see Appendix A), ACORN unsuccessfully sued the state of California to be exempted from the minimum wage. In its appeal of that suit, ACORN argued that the reduction in the number of employees resulting from the minimum wage would violate its First Amendment rights. ACORN’s claims were labeled “absurd” by the presiding judge (see Appendix B).
Just another reason why Barack Obama has been lying about his long relationship with ACORN and trying to airbrush it from ...
Obama: ACORN Is Just A Distraction
Riehl World View —
... Let's re-visit Obama on ACORN during the 2008 election. Any fraud perpetuated by ACORN simply wasn't their fault. It was nothing but a distraction. And the real concern should be those damned Republicans and their well known voter suppression efforts. That isn't change. It's the same old tactics we've been seeing from the Jacksons and the Sharptons for decades. Deny any corruption and attack, in essence calling Republicans racists. And that is precisely what Obama is implying here. ...
