CUI BONO, readers, especially when the MSM ignores or excuses stolen elections and vote-suppression by Republicans?
You know, if the MSM were not a bunch of agenda-pushing liars, I might actually believe them; however, they have proven themselves over and over as the greatest liars and pushers of propaganda that I NEVER BELIEVE a WORD of them now -- or if I do find a half-truth, I turn it around 180-degrees because that is generally where the truth lies!
"Republicans try to tie Obama to vote fraud cases; Activist group blames workers for bogus cards" by Brian C. Mooney, Globe Staff | October 10, 2008
John McCain's presidential campaign and the Republican National Committee have added a new alleged villain as they try to raise doubts about Democratic nominee Barack Obama in the closing weeks of the race - a community organizing group accused of generating a flurry of phony voter registration cards in a number of states.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN, which says it has signed up about 1.3 million voters in 18 states this year, has come under fire for irregularities in at least eight states, including Nevada, where voter cards for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys were turned in to local election officials.
ACORN spokesman Brian Kettenring said that in most cases the bogus registrations were flagged by ACORN supervisors during a review, brought to the attention of the local officials when they were submitted, and ACORN fired "probably a couple of dozen" employees who fabricated them.
The group's political arm endorsed Obama this February and an ACORN-affiliated group was paid about $800,000 for get-out-the-vote operations in four states during the primaries.

Stolen Elections: 2004Yesterday, RNC chief counsel Sean Cairncross called ACORN "a quasi-criminal organization" engaged in "a systematic effort to undermine the integrity of the election process nationwide." He said the organization's voter registration activities are under investigation in Nevada, New Mexico, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Indiana, North Carolina, and Missouri.
Allegations of fraudulent registration forms are not new to ACORN, a 38-year-old organization that advocates for lower-income people on housing, access to credit, education, and other issues. Employees in Ohio, Colorado, Missouri, and the state of Washington have been accused of submitting false registration forms since 2004.
Then WHY didn't KERRY WIN?
There is no evidence that anyone has actually voted as a result of the bogus registrations, which in some cases involve names being listed multiple times at fake addresses. But Cairncross of the RNC said the bad registrations constitute fraud and tie up local election officials and law enforcement agencies.
"What's going on here is a fair amount of partisan behavior on the part of local election officials," said Kettenring of ACORN. The organization is working with law enforcement agencies in four states, and in five other states contacted law enforcement agencies with information about activities by specific ACORN employees, he said.
"These are former workers who defrauded us and we would like them brought to justice," Kettenring said. --more--"Can you say AGENT PROVOCATEUR, readers?
