Author Greg Palast wrote about this stuff years ago. Kennedy and Goodman have talked about this shit for years, with Greg's evidence to back it up. the firing of federal Prosecuters was a Considerably bigger scandle than the MSM ever let the public realize." Who'se afraid of Osama Bin Wolf"
I see the acorn scandal as an attempt to validate Rove's political firings a few years ago. they are attempting to prove that they were right all along. BS. Just another ordo ab chaos issue.

Yeah, the illegal firings were pretty obscene. It totally flies in the face of any semblance of law and order. That obvious effort to subvert justice and free elections has immense implications. It's like an admission that Bush is running a criminal syndicate, so he has to fire the most honest and competent prosecutors who might expose his Federal High Crimes and Treason. I can't believe that the media gives Bush and Co. any credibility at all at this point. Fuck it, Nixon went down for MUCH LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the GOP can be outraged when Mickey Mouse shows up and tries to vote in Ohio when everyone knows he lives in California and has another home in Florida. Didn't Ann Coulter have a bit of "voter fraud" issues of her own a few years ago?
Great diary, and my thoughts exactly. Of course, Rachel Maddow did a rant on this as well, during the post-debate analysis on MSNBC. I just wonder how many of Cindy McCain's "miscarriages" were actually abortions?

Cindy probably only aborted the ones that were McStains or Daddy's

Watch Keith or Rachel have Iglesias on their show. Keith seems to have some gravitas over at MSNBC, so why is this being suppressed?
What is done about anyone who files a false registration to vote? Nothing happened to Ann (Where is she these days?) Coulter, did it? And you know she voted.
I'll be interested to find out how the SC rules on the lawsuit in Ohio, too. (Sigh) The conflicts in that case are disturbing; it could mean that legitimate registrations could be ignored...simply because of the heinous actions of the RNC and the fear that is spreading that they're backing a couple of losers.

Why is Jack Welch a regular on Mourning Joe? Like Team McCain, the establishemnt is reeling from "that one" and re-regulation...a drowning person flailing for anything as cold water invades a panicked nose. What C-SPIN, this morning, characterized as a "liberal super majority" needs to begin the re-examination of "Fairness" in the Communications code and come down hard on surviving Rethug troublemakers to minimize the fake outrages and veiled racial shenanigans as President Obama and the Democratic Congress take charge.

Take charge? Ho ho! Ha ha! Take Charge? You've got to be kidding. They may win the election, but they will still try to run the nation while hiding under their beds. Reregulation? Stop smoking the funny weed. That I'll believe if I see it in writing.
Yeah, I vote Democrat. I have no choice as the other choice is to vote Republican. But expect the Democrats to come riding in on White horses dressed in white armor? Sorry! Only happens in fairy tales and silly movies.

Until the MSM starts blowing the whistle on this kind of crap and on those bogus scare tactics robo calls, the scare tactics will work because the mindless people who believe this crap (and we see them post in these forums all the time) will believe this garbage and it will work.
There needs to be a clearing house for all this stuff and it does not get on the air or in the ads unless it is fact checked by a non-partisan group,

The "mindless" ones are all John Boy has left! Part of me leans toward the belief that these robocalls are only preaching to the choir and Obama never had their votes to begin with.

In Re: the racist remarks of GOP "foos Stamps"
Why any black folk would vote republican is like a log cabiner is beyond comprehesion, does anyone know any black folks that are republican?? Please for the love of god, go have an intervention with that person!!!
A local California GOP women's organization's most recent newsletter claims that if Obama is elected, his face will appear on food stamps, rather than dollar bills like other presidents. The group then included a picture of "Obama Bucks" -- a phony $10 bill with Obama surrounded by racist imagery:
The president of the organization, Diane Fedele, didn’t understand the charges of racism: "I didn’t see it the way that it’s being taken. I never connected. It was just food to me." One African-American member of the club said that upon seeing the newsletter, she "cried for 45 minutes." "This is what keeps African-Americans from joining the Republican Party," she added. (HT: TPM and Oliver Willis)

I'm so tired of their lies. Diane Fedele knew exactly what she was doing. Diane Fedele sat down and thought of the most racist, offensive images and intentionally included them in her newsletter. Then she's too gutless to admit her intentions.

Well, what else have the Republicans got? The Presidency is a lost cause this election. They're desperate now to keep the Democrats under 60 seats in the Senate so as to have some leverage on the legislative agenda.

So ACORN isn't destroying the very fabric of democracy with all their Mickey Mouse registrations that the law forces them to turn in, if filled out? You mean the liberals and minorities aren't going to trash democracy with their illegal votes after they got done trashing the economy with their Fanny and Freddie mortgage defaults? McCain......is lying? I don't know what to believe anymore.
"But the Democrats have to be trying to steal the election!" "How do you know?" "Because we are trying to steal the election and they're ahead in the polls!"
