GOP ACORN Nuttiness

Great stuff in the Democratic Strategist by J. P. Green knocking down the voter fraud nonsense that Wisconsin's Attorney General and the national GOP keep shamelessly lying about:

You have to give the Republicans credit for having a lot of raw nerve. How does a political leader who professes to have enough integrity to ask for public support get in front of national TV cameras and rail against a non-profit organization for turning in some fraudulent voter registration forms, when his/her political party is the worst purveyor of vote theft in the history of democracy?

At the 3rd presidential debate at Hofstra on Wednesday night John McCain said that ACORN was "on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy."

In Westchester Ohio, GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin told a rally "In this election, especially here in Ohio, you’re going to be asked to choose between a candidate who will not disavow a group committing voter fraud and a leader who will not tolerate it."

This from the standard-bearers of the party that gave us the Brooks Brothers Riot and other electoral atrocities in the 2000 and 2004 elections. For a good history of Republican "ballot security" campaigns going back several decades, click here.

Since the smear ACORN campaign began, ACORN workers have experienced death threats, racist insults and their offices have been vandalized in at least two cities, according to this report by Greg Gordon of McCatchy Newspapers.
