ACORN Should Be Obama's Undoing by Michael J. Gaynor
We will never know exactly how many fraudulent votes ACORN will be responsible for in the upcoming presidential election, but If the whole truth about ACORN and its long and intimate relationship with rookie United States Senator and 2008 Democrat presidential nominee Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. becomes fully and generally known, on Election Night 2008 Obama and his ACORNites will moan.
Very shortly after my article entitled "Blame Obama's ACORN for the Financial Crisis" was posted, I received an email invitation to appear on "Your World With Neil Cavuto" (FoxNews being a channel that seeks to be fair and balanced instead of to support Obama, either overtly or covertly).
A Fox producer whom I did not know emailed me, "Hi Mike – I saw your column 'Blame ACORN for Financial Crisis' – would be interested in having you on our show today during the 4pm est hour on this topic. Would you be available? Let me know! Thanks!"
Be assured that it was the substance of the article that attracted interest. Yes, I had been invited to appear (and appeared) as a guest on Neil Cavuto's show once, because an article of mine protesting eBay auctioning consecrated Communion wafers had been noticed, but that was years ago.
The surprise (to most, but not all) House defeat of the proposed rescue or bailout plan kept Mr. Cavuto focused on the current politics of the crisis instead of its origin and the ACORN/Obama relationship, but count on Fox News to focus on them after the revised plan is approved.
Email reaction to my article was uniformily positive. (The Obama supporters who send vile email either weren't paying attention or wisely opted not to give me ammunition.)
Example: A contract specialist with the United States Army Medical Materials Center in Germany emailed to thank me for posting the article and to tell me that he had forwarded a copy to Rush Limbaugh because Rush was saying "the exact same thing."
THAT is really bad news for Obama and ACORN!
I posted a follow up article entitled "Beware Obama, 'The Senator from ACORN."
A pleased New Yorker emailed: "This is great, if only the truth could get out there! Americans need to understand it was not Bush, McCain or the Republican's that caused this mess. It is time for the Democracts to finally be held responsible for what they have done. We need McCain and Palin to read a list of these facts off during the debates!!!!!"
That lady is right!
A Missourian queried:
"Why is it that most of the USA does NOT know the facts about ACORN? Also,why are you NOT on FoxNews having the opportunity to tell the truth to America?
"I, for one, would sure like to see this happen."
I have faith that FoxNews will publicize those facts...and I'd like to see Stanley Kurtz, a senior fellow with the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a contributing editor to National Review Online, who had researched and written on this matter, sharing the fruits of his labor on every news program.
A deeply concerned American working in Canada emailed:
"Excellent piece in Web commentary. There is also a good history of the current mortgage crisis in the Pittsburgh Tribune - Review (Sept. 29) – 'Roots of Rotten Mortgages'.
"I'm sorry to say that these facts need to be reiterated on a DAILY basis. Otherwise, the fox, who has been killing the chickens will get elected as king of the coop.
"The math is relatively simple:
"Democratic Party + Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac x Obama + ACORN = financial meltdown
"Thanks for your thoughts and expertise... YOU MUST KEEP SHARING THEM UNTIL ELECTION DAY. Work the media if you can... radio... tv!"
He added, very thoughtfully: "I would be interested to see the number of foreclosures in those areas where ACORN has been active."
So would I!
"Marianne" emailed: "Thank you Mr. Gaynor. I found this very very enlightening. Reading this, I believe I have made up my mind. I have been against Obama from the very beginning. I thank you again very much for this information!!!"
There are plenty of great reasons to be against Obama and his Far Left extremist ACORN allies!
At the 2008 Republican National Convention, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani made a very basic point: "There is good change and there is bad change."
Likewise, there are good community organizers and bad community organizers.
ACORN's history needs to be known, not kept a mystery.
Stephanie Block, in "Dissing the Organizer: Obama, ACORN and Catholic Action" (September 24, 2008):
Acorn, who's Acorn, I've never heard that mentioned in the MSM, and Senator McCain has said nothing?
Yep....the country sure is suffering from ACORNitis...is there a doctor in the house?
Your wasting your time, the GOP has shown they don’t have the fortitude to take on special interest groups and the Democrats (at least not on the national level).AWB
This is the column he’s referring to:
http://www.postchronicle.com/commentary/article_212175193.shtml
And zerObama was a known coke user.
ACORN should be Barack’s undoing......but it won’t be.
They backdoored the American taxpayer, REPARATIONS.
No, he’s not wasting his time.
What’s wrong with you?
I agree... but don’t count on McCain mentioning ACORN. EVER. He probably doesn’t even know they exist and if he did he sure wouldn’t mention them.
Sorry mate, but McCains communications people are completely out of touch... many of them former Bush communications people. In other words, the worst communications staff in US history. I would be surprised if they even know that FR exists, let alone use any of the very useful information here.
What part of my post don’t you understand?AWB
Obama is the Acorn Party candidate!.....
Greed is/was indeed a factor: When Raines, Johnson, et al cooked the books to show they hit certain "profits" it triggered incentives to line their pockets. They were packing their own (stolen) platinum-plated, golden parachutes.
Corruption: The linkage between the housing agencies and ACORN is both incestuous and smelly. The housing agencies are, by all measures, a well choreographed RICO organization in bed with ACORN and the Democrat party. Investigative interrogatories with Raines, Johnson, Dodd, Obama, Gorelick, Clinton, Frank, and others would produce many "process crimes" that would make Scooter Libby's crimes look like a jaywalking infraction. The DC Federal holding pen would not be able to contain all the bureaucrats and elected officials that SHOULD be there.
Everyone Web search: "Cloward-Piven AND Obama"
Then send the information to every GOP office holder and everyone in conservative media.
For the sake of our children, grandchildren and all succeeding generations of Americans, we must circulate via e-mail, word of mouth, etc., the truth about Obama and ACORN, and his other associations - Wright, Fannie May, Freddie Mac, etc.; how he’s going to tax the middle class to virtual extinction, likely even to fund “reparations”; what he would mean to the military and national security; what his judicial nominees and cabinet appointments would be like; how he is certain to try to stifle opposition free speech; etc....I’m in the process of e-mailing the videos of those worshiping, mind-numbed 5 to 12 year-olds singing the praises of Obama; the video of the sadly deceived young African-American males doing ritual praise of Obama and what he would do for them; the McCain ad of a few weeks ago which expertly, and accurately, showed Obama all but proclaiming himself as “The One,” the one with the “light shining down,” the “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”.....To quote John Belushi, “LET’S GO!!!!!!!”
Quit talking like it’s all over.
Don’t give up, and don’t try to talk others into giving up. (Why would you do that in the last month of the campaign, anyway?)
As for speaking against special interest groups, we have every reason to give Palin a chance to do it. And with executive power, McCain might come out of his shell.
What’s wrong with you people?
see #18
Yea, WTF is wrong with that A-hole McCain? He should be bashing Franks, Dudd Pelosi and Reid 24/7.
Instead he thinks his bi-partisan BS will make him more attractive to Independents. Wake up man, grow some cojones (like you had 40 yrS ago) or let Palin carry the torch to 2012.
