...guess I can now count on your revenge vote for Barack Obama, Mr. Sixpack? I’ll have to get going then, because ACORN pays me according to number of registrations. I’ll probably put in your name twice; it’s not like anyone reads these things anyway. But remember sir, now that Sarah’s winking at Joe the Plumber, we’re going to show her who is boss on November 4th, right...
...America basher who "worked with terrorists." It has also started contacting voters with automated, so-called robo-calls identifying Obama along with former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

In Chicago in 1992, Obama headed the Project Vote campaign - an organization affiliated with ACORN - which registered 150,000 voters on the city's the south side and helped elect Carol Moseley Braun, the country's first female African-American Senator. As an attorney, Obama worked on the team of lawyers that represented ACORN in a 1995 lawsuit in which it accused the state of Illinois of violating federal polling laws, and spoke...
