Hi 10TH ...
Have you got any proof on that Daily Koz comment? I’ve been looking for some reference to it and can’t find anything. Sure would be nice I was looking to try to find out who the “conservative blogger” was and there’s just no trail. Any help would be appreciated. I have a little blog, (The Patriot’s Flag) ... I want to get this written up, but that’s the loose end I can’t nail down. Thanks.
Doug
Does this help?
“Have you got any proof on that Daily Koz comment”
Here’s the diary titled:
“O’Keefe said he went after ACORN because it registers minorities likely to vote against Republicans”
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/9/20/192712/085
He links to a New York times article WITH THIS:
“James O’Keefe, one of the two filmmakers, said he went after ACORN because it registers minorities likely to vote against Republicans: ‘’Politicians are getting elected single-handedly due to this organization,’’ O’Keefe told The Washington Post. ‘’No one was holding this organization accountable.’’”
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/09/19/us/politics/AP-US-ACORNs-Troubles.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all
They attribute it to O’Keefe, without actually quoting O’Keefe!!!
BINGO!!! BINGO!!!
FOUND IT!!!! Knew I remembered seeing this!!!
Here’s the quote!!
“The whole point of the attacks against (8+ / 0-)
ACORN is to intimidate groups that work with poor minorities...If they remain solely as a charity they don’t care but the moment they start to register people to vote it will be known that the conservatives will attack with all of their might and bring the organization down.”
