New ACORN ad: McCain’s a racist for objecting to our many, many bogus voter registrations
posted at 6:35 pm on October 29, 2008 by Allahpundit
How many? Just 400,000, enough to warrant a multistate FBI investigation. Here’s their reply to McCain and the RNC for calling attention to it: A mournful Ken Burns homage that all but compares him to George Wallace. Which wouldn’t be the first time that grenade’s been tossed at him lately.
You know the election’s close when accusations of bigotry start coming this close together. It’s like contractions during pregnancy. Exit question: Will The One fall into his old habit of warning the electorate not to let McCain “hoodwink” or “bamboozle” them during his transmission from Mt. Olympus tonight?

Mickey Mouse has the right to vote, you racists!
ThePrez on October 29, 2008 at 6:38 PM
There were elections in 1965?
lorien1973 on October 29, 2008 at 6:38 PM
“Amazing Grace” in the background. Using religion are we, liberals?
SouthernGent on October 29, 2008 at 6:39 PM
Didn’t you get the flyer? Republicans vote in 1964 and Democrats vote in 1965. Be sure to pay your parking tickets before voting.
rw on October 29, 2008 at 6:39 PM
Just plain wow. Insane. The racist left is at it again.
Grafted on October 29, 2008 at 6:40 PM
I have no problem with ACORN if they allow this to happen nation wide
William Amos on October 29, 2008 at 6:40 PM
I am real sick of attempts to refute charges of voter fraud, for which there is plenty of evidence, with claims of attempted vote suppression, for which there is no evidence.
backwoods conservative on October 29, 2008 at 6:41 PM
It’s terrible that the GOP would do this to Mr. XXDDZZY.
Bishop on October 29, 2008 at 6:41 PM
Protecting the right to vote is ACORN’s job? So they’re an arm of the government?
darwin on October 29, 2008 at 6:43 PM
“Acornist!”
“Votist!”
“Lieist!”
“Fraudist!”
“Propagandist!”
“Illegalist!”
“Welfareist!”
“Dependentist!”
………………….. still working on the counter to “Racist!”

I have news for America. Obama is the biggest racist of all.
marklmail on October 29, 2008 at 6:44 PM
Mickey Mouse is a Republican. He can vote. If he were a democrat; not so much.
lorien1973 on October 29, 2008 at 6:45 PM
Show me anywhere you have the “right to vote” in the Constitution.
grapeknutz on October 29, 2008 at 6:45 PM
Amazing.
Of course, ACORN has to pull out the stops.
Their leaders will all be in jail on RICO charges within the next two years, unless the Messiah pardons them.
ClintACK on October 29, 2008 at 6:46 PM
ACORN is good, McCain is bad.
I’m Mr. Doodad Pro, and I approve this message.
Mulligan on October 29, 2008 at 6:47 PM
The thing is Mr XXDDZZY probably really was imtimidated… by the DEMOCRATS.
It was the DEMOCRATS behind the Jim Crow laws (and the KKK) and who fought the Civil Rights Movement to the bitter end.
All McCain has to do is play that video of testimony of the Hillary old ladies who were intimidated by Obama ‘toughs’ during the Primary in Texas. “Your not voting here today….”.

I thought ACORN was supposed to be “non-partisan“……?

Considering the fact that these people are facing a criminal investigation, they might want to remember that whole You have the right to remain silent thing.
Terrye on October 29, 2008 at 6:50 PM
Spotted a sad story on Drudge:
Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.
Plight of other family members in there too. No surprise it took an overseas newspaper to report on it.
RushBaby on October 29, 2008 at 6:51 PM
“Non-Partisanist!”

ACORN and Democrats Play Race Card in 08!!
I am SHOCKED!!!!

They could have also done this ad with a collage of cartoon characters, gravestones and family pets.

Can someone tell me what race Mickey mouse or jimmy johns is ?
Rodentist.
Bishop on October 29, 2008 at 6:56 PM
On the off chance that’s not a joke:
Amendment 15
Amendment 19
Amendment 24
Amendment 26
It’s not one of those “shall not be abridged” rights — you can take it away from felons, for example, except those convicted of not paying their taxes. But it absolutely is a right, according to the U.S. Constitution.
ClintACK on October 29, 2008 at 6:56 PM
Correction – by redistribution of other people’s money.
CrazyFool on October 29, 2008 at 7:02 PM
Welll…. Mickey is a different Race…. Mouse…
And even worse… He’s BLACK!… sorta…
Bet they’d object to Goofy too… he’s black as well ya know…
Now, Donald Duck, even though White, with that accent is clearly an illegal alien just here because of his anchor ducklings… Huey, Duey and Louie…
Scoorge McDuck, although a Republican leaning Capitalist, is now under investigation by the SEC for wanting to… GASP… keep his own Bank instead of giving it to the Government…
Romeo13 on October 29, 2008 at 7:05 PM
Of course you have the right to vote, along with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Graveyard residents get all three this election.
Laura in Maryland on October 29, 2008 at 7:07 PM
It’s not his job to take care of those people, it’s the government’s job. Now if you’d just leave him alone, he could get on with confiscating people’s property under threat of fines and imprisonment so that he can give said property to those poor people. Because we have a moral obligation to help those in need, and the government is there to enforce morality. Unless it’s your morality, ’cause that’s hypocritical or something, or maybe a violation of the amendment that separates church and state. Yeah, that’s it. It violates article 12 of the Constitution, ask Joe Biden, he knows them by heart.

I still say they wear birkenstocks because they can’t tie their own shoes.

So we’re racists . . . now let’s move on and defeat these wormy Marxists.
rplat on October 29, 2008 at 7:09 PM
How can this be racist on McCains’ part. He doesn’t know who ACORN is approaching for voter registrations…
UNLESS ACORN ONLY REGISTERS’ NON CAUCASIANS.
ACORN = Racists
PappaMac on October 29, 2008 at 7:11 PM
Time to pull their tax status.
Wade on October 29, 2008 at 7:12 PM
It’s getting real scary out there folks. We are inches away from some serious problems.
Guardian on October 29, 2008 at 7:12 PM
Hello ACORN, this is peanut butter….you’re nutty.
Black Adam on October 29, 2008 at 7:15 PM
We have a winner…………… not only will someone who doesn’t know the meaning look back at you with a puzzled look on their face, it just might do the job in shutting them up.
If “Lettrist” doesn’t do it………… how about “Situationists”?
Seven Percent Solution on October 29, 2008 at 7:16 PM
Not only is McCain racist for attacking ACORN, he’s also anti-imaginary-creaturist, anti-old-enough-to-votist, anti-yet-to-be-bornist, anti-deceasedist, and anti-multiple-votist. Oh, and anti-illegal-immigrantist (which is odd, considering his amnesty stance).
The only ones who should have their votes taken away are those who don’t vote for Dear Leader Obamassiah.
rbj on October 29, 2008 at 7:16 PM
How does anyone with a brain fall for this tripe? It’s just unbelievable.
JetBoy on October 29, 2008 at 7:17 PM
I hope that we are able to take these people to court and do something. Every time a Republican does something that is not favorable in the eyes of a liberal, the race card is dropped or there is some type of outrageous allegation that we are trying to suppress the working person; we are insensitive to those who are not fortunate; or we are unsympathetic to those who live an alternative lifestyle. Acorn is a group of cheaters and lairs. Screw them.
mindhacker on October 29, 2008 at 7:19 PM
HA!
That was clever.
surrounded on October 29, 2008 at 7:19 PM
Obama and his Marxist fellows will destroy this country if we let them.
Don’t be intimidated by the word ‘racist.’ Stand by your principles and act accordingly. Just sayin’.
baldilocks on October 29, 2008 at 7:19 PM
Doesn’t say who can vote only that you can’t make it race dependent.
same as above but based on sex rather than race
prohibits taxing voting
Same as 15 and 19 but add age to the mix.
——————————————-
So it would seem that technically, there is no Constitutional reason not to return to requiring property, i.e. land, ownership or start requiring employment in order to vote.
I’m not saying we should but I don’t see where the Constitution prohibits it.
OBQuiet on October 29, 2008 at 7:20 PM
I have a feeling this relates to the flier circulating around Hampton Roads about Repubs voting on the 4th, and the Dems voting on the 5th. Anyone stupid enough to believe that needn’t show up at all.
And yes, that’s racist. And I’m sure it’s racist to call my own post racist.
Anna on October 29, 2008 at 7:21 PM
And again in 2000!
The Liberals,I mean the New Socialist Democratic Party,
I don’t want to p#ss off the PUMAS’s who have allied them
selves with Team McCain/Palin, sure have a lot of guts,er
(balls) that is to come up with this stinkin crap!
Everywhere one turns in this presidential campaign Team
Hopey/GaffeBiden have had voter fraud,ACORN investigations,
FBI investigations of Obama surrogets into spying of ‘Joe
the Plumber’,and Gawd only knows to what level of spying
debauchery that isn’t known!!!
And yet,its always the Lefty’s that are scaring the beejesus out of the African American voters that are committed by the Chicago thuggery political machine that makes the ‘Clinton War Room’look like the neighborhood
welcome wagon!
I thought ACORN was going to have their goons at all the
polling station’s to stop this non-existent fairy tale that
they keep telling every 4 years!
If its not diebold,its online hacking of votes,or the so-
called harrassment at said polls!!
BTW,if the Liberal Democratic Party are so dam_ed concerned
with the rights of the voters,
with Barack Obama’s plan,Iraq would of never of had a free
election’s and happy,smilin,purple fingered Iraq’s!!!!!!!

Not watching but I can only imagine.

tru2tx on October 29, 2008 at 7:26 PM
Hell, if I had my way, military service or other civic duty would be required to vote–just like in the Classical era. Look what happened to Athens when they started allowing the mobs to vote.
m064404 on October 29, 2008 at 7:27 PM
I’m amazed that no one has picked up on BO’s statement on his assertion that the civil rights movement in the 60′s didn’t go far enough, and even failed to do enough.
If I insulted the yeoman’s efforts of the Rev. Martin Luther King and his supporters, do you think that I could expect some sort of feedback?
What an ungrateful little SNOT!

Hey, get off my back. This is my park bench. I know I barfed beer all over it last night. Oh the pressures of being a responsible citizen, gotta go register to vote several times, almost outta cigarettes. Where’s that ACORN man…/s
wepeople on October 29, 2008 at 7:31 PM
Gotta admit Osama Obama did right by Cousin Odinga!
Brother George’s whole village could have lived the rest of their lives in some comfort for what American taxpayers spent so Obama could go over and campaign for him.
Charity clearly begins in other people’s homes for The Messiah.
MrScribbler on October 29, 2008 at 7:32 PM
The term “Racism” doesn’t mean anything any more.
The Democrats have exhausted it. It’s now a cliche.
uptight on October 29, 2008 at 7:33 PM
These idiots have totally killed the meaning of the word racist.

Pat in NC on October 29, 2008 at 7:35 PM
So tell me ACORN, why does he have to be registered 97 times?
Maxx on October 29, 2008 at 7:36 PM
The woman I love, who is from the Caribbean and comes from a “mixed” family, is almost as ardent an Obama supporter as Chris Matthews. Yet we have had rational discussions about our respective stands in this election.
She is, I’m afraid, a “minority” (if you’ll pardon the expression) among Obamanoids.
Doesn’t change my mind about wanting to see him crushed at the polls, though.
MrScribbler on October 29, 2008 at 7:37 PM
I am confused, I thought John Kerry was black and Obama fought in the Viet Nam war…
BTW, that was acorny ad…
right2bright on October 29, 2008 at 7:40 PM
That is the question that keeps me up at night…how can they fall for this guy.
No one has even come up with anything he has done of note…and if elected and he serves his first term, that 4 years will be the longest he has ever held a job…remarkable.
right2bright on October 29, 2008 at 7:43 PM
That logic disqualifies you from being a liberal…
right2bright on October 29, 2008 at 7:44 PM
You might have a point there. Since they have defined racist as everybody maybe we should just laugh and say yeah, we are racist… you are too.
Who is it that using race to foment trouble and drum up support? It’s the Democrats of course and they are the real racist and they always have been.
Maxx on October 29, 2008 at 7:46 PM
How ’bout’ we all……
either orr on Oct 29,2008 at 7:25PM.

I suggest that we don’t screw around on this one,

me thinks,that the whole fist be dipped into said
purple colour,and raise it up like they did at
Olympic medal ceremony that caused an uproar,
‘Wink-Wink’!!!!Haha.

custer on October 29, 2008 at 8:26 PM
For all their talk of “urban” and “poverty”, the folks at ACORN seem to have a fascination with black people…I haven’t heard of them going to the impoverished white folks in eastern Kentucky, the threadbare Hispanos of New Mexico, or even heard of them going to any reservations to help the Lakota or the Hopi sign up….
…so…taking the inference and running with it…black people can’t vote unless ACORN helps them…they’ll be tricked, bullied, bamboozled and shut out….
…somebody tell me: who are these black people?
The black people I know are perfectly able to vote…they are perfectly able to register to vote, and perfectly able to make it to the polls on time. They work, they raise kids, they pay bills, and they go about the business of life much the same as you or I do….
…who are these broken toys, all washed out and waifish, unable to even wipe the spittle from their own chins, that they need a bunch of thugs in red t-shirts to represent them?
…they aren’t any black people I’ve ever met….
Puritan1648 on October 29, 2008 at 8:27 PM

Pitiful.

So… dude didn’t get intimidated at all during the Reagan years? I thought Reagan was a MONSTER.
And he was intimidated in 2000, but not 2004? When Bushzilla was running again?
I’m disappointed in the Republicans. I’d figured we’d intimidate the minorities every election, not just once in a while!
Let’s get it together, guys!
