Friendly reminder from ACORN chief Bertha Lewis: You’re racist
Hot Air ^ | Oct. 6, 2009 | Allahpundit

Unless you’re cool with, say, covering up the embezzlement of $5 million. Then you’re okay.

Saith the woman heralded by RNC chair Michael Steele as doing a “phenomenal job” in handling the scandal:

“For many years, there’ve been folks who’ve disagreed with our ideology or methodology that [have] gone after us,” Mrs. Lewis, ACORN’s chief executive officer, said in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington.

“I mean we, [going back] to 2004, we now see through e-mails from Karl Rove from the previous administration that ACORN itself was targeted, targeted to go after us so that we would stop doing voter registration because it was said that we were moving too many minorities to vote, changing the power dynamics on the local election and that we needed to be stopped.”

She also labeled as racist the infamous videos that show ACORN workers advising a man and young woman posing as pimp and prostitute how to circumvent the law. “These new filmmakers, [James] O’Keefe himself, told The Washington Post, ‘They’re registering too many minorities; they usually vote Democratic; somebody’s got to stop them,’” Mrs. Lewis said.

That’s not the first time she’s smeared O’Keefe as a racist, but in this case she’s only repeating the lie WaPo told her. Remember this from last month, when WaPo dropped the following on its readers?

Though O’Keefe described himself as a progressive radical, not a conservative, he said he targeted ACORN for the same reasons that the political right does: its massive voter registration drives that turn out poor African Americans and Latinos against Republicans.

“Politicians are getting elected single-handedly due to this organization,” he said. “No one was holding this organization accountable. No one in the media is putting pressure on them.

Thanks Bertha.

And just so you don’t forget, you’re a marxist piece of lying crap.

Have a nice day.

Obama and ACORN’s rules for race relations:

Rule #1: Black people can say anything they want. If you don’t like it, you’re a racist.
Rule #2: Black people can do anything they want. If you don’t like it, you’re a racist.
Rule #3: You’re a racist.

Soon it will be demanded that a FULL 100% black that speaks Swahili become POTUS to stifle the race card.

“Rule #1: Black people can say anything they want. If you don’t like it, you’re a racist.”

Only liberal black people. They hate conservative blacks more than anything else.
Conservative blacks are us.

Free thinkers and freedom lovers are their enemy.

“You’re racist” has lost all meaning. Ignore the comment...it is the comment of a simple person who is looking for you to succumb without a fight.

Why would Steele show up at any function with Bertha Lewis?

Plain and simple, the GOP is totally dead.

Didn't one of them express a desire to tear off a certain part of _resident Obama's anatomy? He must be a racist.
