Uncovering more Obama ACORN connections
The Examiner ^ | 10/11/2008 | Dan Spencer

Posted on 10/11/2008 6:45:58 PM PDT by markomalley

Obama, as well as most of the elite media, fail to reveal the full depth and extent of Obama's relationship with ACCORN.

According to the Cleveland Leader, attempts have been made to wipe the web clean of potentially damaging articles concerning Obama's involvement with ACORN.

Nevertheless, a 2004 article - Case Study: Chicago- The Barack Obama Campaign - written by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN Leader, and published in the journal Social Policy was found and reveals Obama did in fact train ACORN "community organizers.

"Since then, we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for State Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends."

That article disproved a false claim, made on Obama's so-called fight the smears website, that Obama was never an ACORN trainer. On Thursday fight the smears stated:

Fact: Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.

Thanks to the efforts of the Cleveland Leader, as of yesterday, fight the smears has been revised to read:

Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee.

Fight the smears may have revised the blatant lie revealed by the Cleveland Leader, but it maintains the obfuscation.

CALLING OBAMA A RESPECTABLE FAMILY MAN THAT WE NEED NOT FEAR IS OUTRAGEOUS!

McCAIN TAKING THE ABUSE AND INSULTS FROM OBAMA AND REFUSING TO FIGHT BACK IS OUTRAGEOUS!

WE’RE NOT TURNING THE WHITE HOUSE KEYS OVER TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA- NOT IF WE ON FR, RUSH, HANNITY AND FOX HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!

FReep McCAIN/ MSM OUT.

HOW LONG CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS??

.

McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. He’s just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.

The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just ain’t gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.

FReep ‘EM OUT!

CAN THEY IGNORE A MILLION EMAILS?

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’as McCain has said, and vowed to do.

RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMA’S NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’

Take off the gloves, McCain!

Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!

Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!

FReep ‘EM!!!! SEND THEM THESE VIDEOS:

OBAMA CAUGHT STATING ACORN AND FRIENDS WILL SHAPE HIS PRESIDENTIAL AGENDA!!

We could have the worst possible dirt on Obama, irrefutable, unassailable, and absolutely damning, but unless the mainstream myrmidons run it, we’re just holding a big ‘ol anti-Obama love fest.

I’m beyond disgusted with the media, and I’m starting to write off people I once counted as friends for not being terribly curious or intelligent about all of this mess.

Check out the graphic-in-progress I just posted at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2103473/posts?page=24#24. It includes a photo of Obama working with ACORN folks.

And, if you can, please post a copy of the photo of Frank, Dodd, et al that has been used here on FR lately so that I can complete the graphic.

TIA!

* 31 years of a failed Democratic Party policy, pressuring banks to issue more and more risky loans, is what caused this economic crisis

* At the forefront in the early 90s was Obama. He sued Citibank, and he trained and funded ACORN, when they were intimidating banks to issue more of these risky loans

* It snowballed from there

* Even when warned about an impending crisis, Democrats still blocked reform in 2003 and 2005 that would have prevented it

* This failed Democratic Party policy of 31 years, has now cost taxpayers over 1 Trillion dollars, and Obama’s ‘agenda’ will make taxpayers pay even more
