Even blind Republicans find an ACORN

Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2008 | 2 a.m.

Even blind Republicans find an ACORN once in awhile. With their nominee slipping in the polls, the GOP faithful have been looking for something to latch onto to lift their spirits. Obama and consorting with William Ayers — OK, that’s helpful. Vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s perpetually peppy performances as she rips Obama’s associations with Ayers and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — you betcha. But what a bonanza for depressed Republicans are the community organizing group’s allegations of voter fraud. Suddenly, there are press releases and conference calls from energized Republicans. And I’m sure they’re all chattering in the bar that this accounts for the entire Democratic registration edge in the state. To dare to dream ...

Nobody is concerned about ACORN yet, because they are still waiting for the answers from Obama about Ayers and Wright. Wright for example was Obamas mentor for twenty years, now he does'nt know the guy that well. Ayers, according to Obama was just a guy who lived on his street?

But as long as you bring it up, I think it is interesting to say the least your cavalier attitude toward an organization (ACORN) that has been busted in numerous states including here in Nevada yesterday for voter fraud.

I think it is interesting as well that Ralston criticizes Republicans who KNOW ACORN is a fraud-organization - but Ralston tries to pimp for liberals by covering for this fraud-organization and their crimes against our election laws.

THESE are some of these "street organizers" which Obama was once the lawyer for! This type of street organizing IS what Obama used to do for a living.

Ralston condoning election fraud in the pursuit of bad-mouthing the party who points their frauds out? What a shock!

I think Mr. Greenspun should fire Ralston for this display of hate-mongering. Plus, with advertising budgets down as i am sure, this will be good for the bottom line.
