liar!
I wonder how many “votes” they promised for that 800 grand.
BTTT.
Bump
An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in "get-out-the-vote" projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary.
FEC spokeswoman Mary Brandenberger said it is not unusual for campaigns to amend reports, even regarding large sums of money.
But, said Blair Latoff, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee: "Barack Obama's failure to accurately report his campaign's financial records is an incredibly suspicious situation that appears to be an attempt to hide his campaign's interaction with a left-wing organization previously convicted of voter fraud. For a candidate who claims to be practicing 'new' politics, his FEC reports look an awful lot like the 'old-style' Chicago politics of yesterday."
In response to the RNC's position, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in an e-mail: "The RNC can concoct all of the outlandish conspiracy theories they want, but when we saw that our FEC report didn't accurately reflect the field work CSI was hired to perform we corrected it. It's pretty bold for the RNC to attack us for a clerical error after John McCain's campaign was just forced to return $50,000 raised by a foreign national through a number of contributors who weren't even supporting McCain."
Melanie Sloan, executive director of the liberal-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said the campaign's error on FEC documents doesn't seem extraordinary, especially considering the huge amounts of money being spent.
"It's rare that people don't file any amended reports. If he has a pattern of lots and lots of amended reports, that would be more noteworthy than an occasional one," Sloan said.
Jim Terry, spokesman for a group that tracks ACORN, said Citizens Services Inc.'s involvement in the Obama campaign raises bigger questions.
"All of this just seems like an awful lot of money and time spent on political campaigning for an organization that purports to exist to help low-income consumers," said Terry, chief public advocate for Consumers Rights League, a Washington, D.C., advocacy outfit with a libertarian outlook.
That’s going to leave a mark.
800,000 is a clerical error.
The question is, will the McCain’s seize on this?
The other media will ignore it if they ignore it.
I sure hope so EGD!
How many times have I looked at a big story regarding Obama and thought to myself - Aha! Now THIS will be the end of him!
But to no avail.
But here I go again - always an optimist!
I don’t know HOW Obama can wriggle out of this one.
This stinks to high heaven and gets right to the heart of the validity of our elections.
Pretty soon we’re all going to demand purple ink for our fingers at the polling sites.
But does GWB's Attorney General have the guts to throw the book at anyone who isn't a border guard?
John McCain will respectfully find fault with this and promise to carefully think through whether to mention it, in a respectful way of course, during the next debate.

PALIN on the radio now (click on listen live on the upper right)
Campbell Brown, of all people, has actually reported a bit on this. More stuff bubbling to the surface on Odumbo.
Rounding error...actually...
If you bribe each wino or crackhead $20 per vote, that is a nice voter turnout.
Fraudulent voters, bad loans and big city shakedown Left Wing politics - the ACORN way.
Lets get this lying fraud.
FReep out the MSM- if we flood them out with detrimental material, maybe someone will pay attention.
SEND THEM DAMAGING INFO ON OBAMA. DEMAND THEY DO THEIR JOB AND INVESTIGATE.

FReep the McCain campaign.
Light a fire under McCain before he goes to sleep.
McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. Hes 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 aint 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!
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 campaignas McCain has said, and vowed to do.
RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMAS NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
lipstick on a pig and You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. Its 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!!!!

ACORN Files Voting Rights Suit on Behalf of Imaginary-Americans
http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2008/10/acorn-files-vot.html
I’m looking forward to the headlines in tomorrow’s papers.
/sarcasm
Sarah Palin is the true “October surprise”. She is going to surprise and shock the libs, the MSM, and Obama. She is willing to tell the truth about Obama straight up, as it should be told.
wow!
that’s an impressive piece of work.
thank you.
will do.
Beh.
Nobody gives a rip anyway.
Acorn?
Who cares?
We got HOPE!
Si se puede!
Well let’s see 800,000 here and another state perhaps 500,000 there and then add another 15 or 20 states just like this incident.
Obama is dirty. Taking illegal money from foreign sources and the playing games with Acorn.
When will Americans wake up. Obama will do anything to steal this election and the democrats are the same way. This is beginning to be class warfare.
Where is America headed?
“Hope” I don’t mind. It’s “Fundamental Change” that has me concerned.
...this is from August.
So, Andrew Cuomo, Mafiosi Housing Secretary under X-42, The Cigarman, was bragging about how his goons put the squeeze on a bank in Texas and forced it to pay $2 billion after the Feds sued them for not making loans to lousy credit risks. Unfrickin' believable! And, after 8 years of GW Bush, these guys get away with it?!
Howcome when a demRat ‘fails to disclose’ it’s only an oversight but if a pubbie it’s off with their heads? (Rhetorical)
This is topical - frosting on the ACORN story cake. Let’s get it out to our media list. You know the formula:
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/election/s_584284.html
The office people that screen the emails only pass them on when they get X-amount on a given subject.
So this is OUR part - WE the PEOPLE - in protecting our freedoms.

Lets make it happen. This is our part in protecting our freedoms = WE THE PEOPLE - we act now or get ready for Jack Boots and Brown Shirts...Obama already has his personal police force plans ready
copy the email addresses for use for the rest of the campaign
yes - good point, and I can assume it is safe to point out that 100% of these “votes” were going to Obama.
This all makes me chuckle when I think of how Bush was accused of “stealing” 2000 just because he kept winning the recounts.
im sure this is the tip of the iceburge and promises of fed money were made also. but who will report it.
800 thousand dollars is minor compared to the cost of an illegal war in Iraq, a war supported by John McCain.
(Just thought I’d write the MSM angle.)
Yeah, I’m sure it was an innocent mistake! This stinks to high heaven.
Reach across the aisle my friend...reach across the aisle!
Thank you so much, patriot. Will do. Marking!
I’m eagerly awaiting those huge, breathtakingly revealing editorials in the N.Y. Times and the WashPo decryng Obama’s connections with Franklin Raines, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and ACORN. Patrick Oliphant and Lew Wasserman will have cartoons depicting Obama in a pit with the rest of those clowns and the slime up their rotten necks. Sure, that will happen real soon. (smirk)
btt
A little excerpt would help...
More specifically, Obama paid $800,000 to an ACORN organization to register people to vote in Ohio earlier this year. That work, and other voter registration work performed by ACORN, has apparently resulted in illegal voter registration forms bring submitted in a number of States this year.
Ohio has been stung by illegal voter registrations that have resulted in a federal judge issuing a Temporary Restraining Order against Secretary of State Brunner, who is a Democrat, forcing her to follow the law with regard to allowing local elections boards in the State to examine those voter registration cards. ACORN officials regularly advise Secretary Brunner on matters of voting strategy.
Before the judge’s order, she was breaking the law to keep the illegal registration from being examined by those local officials.
IIRC, the website that discovered the false FEC reports by Team Obama published the information, and shortly after that, Obama decided to amend their FEC report.
I’ve been looking for that website this morning to confirm that, but so far I’m coming up empty.
Anybody remember that, or am I misremembering?
Suggestion, Doug:
Acrons fallin’ on my head.
800,000
Think I’ll hide in beh’ed

This is sick. I shake my head with amazement as I read all the lying excuses Barack supporters invent.
They will say anything....anything....to tamp down the public’s sense of outrage at the ANTI-voter things they have done.
They’ve learned well from Saul Alinsky and his disciple, Barack Obama.
JAIL NOW!!!!
A few more words in the post would be nice...
I doubt they have an $800,000 "error" that works against them... Maybe it's the same group that tells thim they "cleaned" the plane...
Terrific work, patriot08. I’m making use of the email addresses. Thank you.
