Obama Wants DOJ to Silence McCain-Palin on ACORN
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 4:30 PM
Remember when Barack Obama used his campaign lawyers to pe ion the Department of Justice to shut down the American Issues Project when it created an ad about William Ayers?

Obama's complaint didn't go anywhere, but he's at it again. This time Obama's trying to use his influence as a presidential candidate and U.S. Senator to convince the DOJ to shut down those who are criticizing ACORN.

Obama for America General Counsel Bob Bauer wrote a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasy last Friday asking Mukasy to launch an investigation against John McCain, Sarah Palin and their campaign surrogates.

Why? Because Obama is upset the GOP is drawing attention to ACORN's fraudulent voter registration activities. Bauer said members of the GOP are "fomenting specious vote fraud allegations, and there are distorting indications of official involvement or collusion."

Bauer's 7-page letter specifically accuses McCain, Palin and Republican Sens. George Voinovich, John Cornyn and Reps. Michele Bachmann, Roy Blunt and Paul Ryan of engaging in “politically-motivated efforts to influence the Department's investigative and prosecutorial efforts.”

The Heritage Foundation's Conn Carroll says this gives a "good preview of what an Obama Department of Justice would look like." Scary.

Update: Obama's lawyer might have to expand his list of Republicans to target. A few more just jumped on the anti-ACORN train.

All nine Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, including Ranking Member Arlen Specter, demanded Democratic Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy investigate ACORN “widespread, systematic voter registration fraud” in a letter to the Chairman today.

I'm sure the libs will dismiss this. Just wait. If Obama wins, this will standard operating procedure for anyone opposing the Chosen One. Hitler would be proud.

God forbid we should ever see people in the WH trying to influence the operations of the DOJ.

Bush's stupidity shouldn't be an excuse for Obama's thought police.

[Tully365]

The Gestapo and Hitler are dramatic analogies, but I like the ones linking Obama directly to Satan better. Check this out:

Barack= 6 letters
Hussein= 7 letters
Obama= 5 letters

675.

If you just move one letter from his middle name to his last name, making him Nobama (the cute name invented by some who don't like him), then you've got:

Barack Hussei Nobama!!!

You see?? 666!!!

Holy -- undeniable truth! He's the anti-christ!


I'm still voting for him.

So how many fraudulent votes Acorn produce?
I mean, otherwise the claim is valid.

[Shastafarian]

And wasn't the leak that the FBI is investigating ACORN illegal?

ACORN doesn't produce fraudulent votes. Only fraudulent registrations. That's where people get tripped up on both sides. What they do is create a situation, that taken one more step, allows corrupt people inside the election offices to cheat. This happened in King County, Washington, in the 2004 Governor's election. The cir stantial evidence was overwhelming, but there was no hard evidence. Once registrations of people are known bad, but look good enough, Elections Volunteers can manipulate the system in mass.

It can not be said this is happening in more places with accuracy. The problem is, that it can easily happen. Those of us who want this stopped just want to feel comfortable the elections are not being robbed. The liberals cry about disenfranchised voters, but never look into real holes in the system that do permit mass cheating.

Both sides cheat, and it's inexcusable. That said, I think there's enormous watchful eyes on both parties for this exact same reason. Besides the pandering and the accusations, we are yet to see a case with concrete evidence of mass fraud.

Thats because election day isn't here yet!

Aggie hoopsfan and boutons should open up a bi-partisan school for ridiculous exaggerations.

And yet folks claim Massive Vote Fraud every day here.

[Anti.Hero]

I can't wait until the far-left takes full control.

The rush to ins utionalize voter fraud same day registration/voting. The unions getting free reign on bullying tactics....



It's going to be awesome.

Plus, he was born in Hawaii. The show "Lost" is filmed in Hawaii. If you're not familiar with the show, it's a show about people stranded on an island that appears to have it's own laws of physics, exists outside of time, has magical properties, etc. One of the theories about the show is that the island the characters inhabit is actually .

So, Obama may have been born in .

[Anti.Hero]

Nah it's a time machine man!


I love that show. Ecko was based on Obama and will come back last episode to save the day. Book it.

Yeah, but what was Mr. Ecko - a false priest. Hence, Obama is the anti-Christ.

Then again, many religious people insist that Jesus Christ is a hero to them and you, from all appearances (and be appearances, I mean your screen name), are the - Anti.Hero.

Hmmmmm.......

[Anti.Hero]

Many modern antiheroes possess, or even encapsulate, the postmodern rejection of traditional values symptomatic of Modernist literature in general, as well as the disillusion felt after World War II and the Nuclear Age. It has been argued that the continuing popularity of the antihero in modern literature and popular culture may be based on the recognition that a person is fraught with human frailties, unlike the archetypes of the white-hatted cowboy and the noble warrior, and is therefore more accessible to readers and viewers. This popularity may also be symptomatic of the rejection by the avant-garde of traditional values after the counter-culture revolution of the 1960s.

In the postmodern era, traditionally defined heroic qualities, akin to the classic "knight in shining armor" type, have given way to the "gritty truth" of life, and authority in general is being questioned. The brooding vigilante or "noble criminal" archetype seen in characters like Batman is slowly becoming part of the popular conception of heroic valor rather than being characteristics that are deemed un-heroic.

What part did we not understand? That Obama's campaign asked the DOJ not to waste resources investigating unfounded accusations?

[boutons_]

McLiar and pitbull are LYING about ACORN as a smokescreen for Repug voter suppression/intimidation/purging/disenfranchisement.

If HUSSEIN can stop them lying and stop the Repugs from cheating, what's not to like?

[Tully365]

Here's what I comprehended-- Your opinion is that Obama using his influence to stop an investigation is the same as Hilter exterminating 8 million+ Jews, Slavs, Poles, sexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, gypsies, Russians, political dissenters, disabled and mentally ill people in concentration camps, invading numerous countries, and preaching a philosophy of racial superiority.

That's ridiculous exaggeration by any reckoning, so I stand by my original statement.

You'd have to at least compare him to Nixon 100 times before you leap right to Hitler.

How can he be born in when he constructed it with his own two hands??

i AGREE he should have instead used Stalin. Both sides would have been satisfied with that assesment.

[Tully365]

If you don't like Obama and his views, I have no problem understanding that stance. Perfectly understandable. But if you can really think that you can start drawing analogies between Obama and some of the darkest and most evil political leaders in history now, then I'd say you are using ridiculous hyperbole to demonize him, which is completely unreasonable.

I think G W Bush is a terrible president, but I wouldn't compare him to Hitler.

so you support suppressing dissent?

I'm not suppressing anything. AHF expressed his opinion, and I expressed mine. I don't want anyone to suppress AHF.
