McCain ad: ACORN (Updated video link)

October 10, 2008 by Procrustes

Transcript from Hot Air:

ANNCR: Who is Barack Obama? A man with “a political baptism performed at warp speed.” Vast ambition.

After college, he moved to Chicago. Became a community organizer. There, Obama met Madeleine Talbot, part of the Chicago branch of ACORN. He was so impressive that he was asked to train the ACORN staff.

What did ACORN in Chicago engage in? Bullying banks. Intimidation tactics. Disruption of business. ACORN forced banks to issue risky home loans. The same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we’re in today.

No wonder Obama’s campaign is trying to distance him from the group, saying, “Barack Obama Never Organized with ACORN.” But Obama’s ties to ACORN run long and deep. He taught classes for ACORN. They even endorsed him for President.

But now ACORN is in trouble.

REPORTER: There are at least 11 investigations across the country involving thousands of potentially fraudulent ACORN forms.

ANNCR: Massive voter fraud. And the Obama campaign paid more than $800,000 to an ACORN front for get out the vote efforts.

Pressuring banks to issue risky loans. Nationwide voter fraud.

Barack Obama. Bad judgment. Blind ambition. Too risky for America.

    Ads are good, but not good enough. Obama actually meant it when he said that McCain didn’t know what he was up against. Socialism in its ugliest shape is coming to us if Obama gets elected.

    And the worst part is that many people who will end up voting for Obama, wouldn’t know what they are really voting for. They don’t go to the blogs like yours, they don’t read long data-rich threads, they don’t watch scary YouTube kids-singing videos. We keep going down in polls because people listen to the huge propaganda machine–and take that BS at face value. What we need is an arsenal of conversation changers. These attention grabbers that make an impact in 5 sec. And THEN those whose opinions still can be changed may start reading more. Obama’s side if excellent in this. They have pros working around the clock on all sorts of visuals that go straight to the emotions level, bypassing the logic. Just take a look at this site to know what I’m talking about.

    Can you name a single memorable anti-Obama poster that speaks to the center-leaning Democratic voter? I can’t. And to expose who Obama really is we need some of that. With my new blog and Facebook page I’ve started a new repository to fill this gap and hope it will take off and will be used and extended by others. Your comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

    “Two Big Stories About ACORN Fraud in Ohio About to Hit

    Don’t Be Frontin’: The Radical New Party Obama Was Once a Member of and Project Vote,

    Whom Obama Admits Working For, Share Same Office with… ACORN

    The tip is solid,

    10,000 duplicate/fraudulent registrations in Hamilton County (Cincinnati)

    and around 8000 bad registrations in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland). Cincinnati story should be out tomorrow, Cleveland one Sunday or Monday.

    Remember, Barack Obama was a member of the radical New Party.

    Ya’ll think it interesting that ACORN, Project VOTE and The NEW Party share the same address?

    88 Third Avenue, Third Floor
    Brooklyn, NY 11217

    ——–

    ACORN Falls Close To Tree—–Eyebrows were raised last week by a fundraising invitation sent by the Friends Of Bill de Blasio. de Blasio, who managed Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign, held the December 7 event to fund his run for the 39th Councilmanic District seat.

    The invitation listed the committee’s address as 88 Third Avenue, which may be familiar to some as the address for the community group ACORN. The contact on the invitation was Kara Hood, an ACORN political organizer. One insider thought that the connection between the candidate and the community group was too tight, and could imply that ACORN’s stance on community issues was politicized. “That’s a little too close for comfort for me,” he said.

    Seems Obama’s ties to ACORN are a bit harder to deny — he was actually a member of ACORN’s own f….. political party.”

    What about Khalidi, Wright, even Farrakhan? All cylinders John, all cylinders…

    Yeah, but he meant well. Ha, Ha.

    America wake up! Obama is bad for us. I can’t believe CNN actually reported on ACORN recently.

    Here is what the O camp told CNN: “A subsidiary of the group was paid $800,000 by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign to register voters for the 2008 primaries, and ACORN’s political wing endorsed Obama back in February. But Obama’s campaign told CNN that it “is committed to protecting the integrity of the voting process,” and said it has not worked with ACORN during the general election.”

    Don’t you love how they phrased their statement saying “GENERAL” election. So they are admitting that they were hugely connected in the primaries.

    Nice catch there Buffalo. Most people would miss that bit of subtlety.

  • New Obama Era Over

    "And in November 2008, with the election of Barack Obama and increased congressional majorities, it seemed to be over. A new era had dawned.

    "But did it? Maybe we're now experiencing a liberal interlude, not a liberal inflection point. After all, only six months into the new administration, even a talented hot air blower like President Obama, assisted by friendly gusts of wind from the media, is having trouble keeping the liberal blimp afloat.

    "The stimulus hasn't worked. Cap-and-trade and health care reform are in trouble. The can't-we-all-get-along foreign policy isn't leading to a more peaceful world. And the administration seems to have no idea what to do about Guantánamo.

    "Congressional Democrats are nervous. Even Obama's media base is concerned. At the end of last week, three leading Obamaphiles offered their lamentations. [...]

    "Why such long faces? Because they realize that, despite the financial meltdown on the Bush administration's watch and the errors of omission and commission by the GOP over the last decade, the American public hasn't fundamentally rethought their turn in 1980 away from big government liberalism."--William Kristol, TWS, 7/20.
