Plouffe on Fox: '24-hour ACORN channel' (its worrrrrrking alert!!)
politico.com ^ | OCT 14 2008 | housedeep

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe, making the case that the charges against ACORN aren't relevant, called them a "smokescreen" and a "permission structure" for attempts to disenfranchise voters.

"This is just the start of what is going to be a very deliberate and cynical attempt to create confusion, to challenge people inappropriately," he said.

The amount of time the GOP is spending driving a message about ACORN is, indeed, striking — any day that's about ACORN isn't about experience, or Obama's associations, or McCain's biography, or the economy. So far, it hasn't been met by a legal effort to challenge voters on the ground, though that could change.

Plouffe, in any case, noted the focus on the conservative message machine: "We understand that Fox News Channel is turning themselves into the 24-hour ACORN channel," he said.

That strategy has been around since Gideon.

Yep. As a matter of fact, that's exactly what Alinski said. "Use the rights OWN rules against them."
Then he went on to give all his praise to Lucifer, because Lucifer - like the left - broke all the rules and ended up with his own kingdom because of it.

This is a big thing (ACORN) because if McCain does this right he can link it all together with Ayers because to my understanding the Woods Foundation has given grants to ACORN and Obambi was the one giving them the funds, is this not correct? They need to write McCain a nice coherent, simple statement that links it all together so the American people can understand it.

Bush was told by plenty of people to get rid of all of them he could.

“Look no more, this is our October surprise”

...I hope so. There was an article by Michelle Malkin that points out a relationship with McCain and ACORN from the illegals issue. Could be why he’s avoiding it.

OMG this idiot is trying to defend ACORN. Maybe this story about Patrick Fitzgerald and the indictment has some legs after all. Obama’s campaign tacking into making ACORN the Southern Poverty Law Center circa 1965 of today.

“Inappropriately” = Any attack on the Messiah; a “racial” attack on Messiah which reveals the real truth about him.

I think the best thing to do about it is to not let it go away. Contact the media-newspapers, tv, etc.-elected representatives, etc. This is undermining the legitimacy of our elections and it needs to be exposed. If it isn’t pursued in the battleground states, then we’re in trouble. Once the Democrats take control as they have done in Illinois, there will be little chance to get the word out. This kind of stuff is ignored here.

How about what do we do to make Jennifer Brunner’s life miserable?

Anybody have any ideas to make life so bad for her that she has to do her job?
