It isn’t even election day and already the far left groups are trying to bullshit the election results. It now turns out that ACORN, an extremist Left Wing group with ties to Barack Obama is now bribing people to fraudulently register to vote in order to hand the election to Obama.
The New York Post (click here) reports,
A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws.
“Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they’ll give me a dollar to sign up,” said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
“The ACORN people are everywhere, looking to sign people up. I tell them I am already registered. The girl said, ‘You are?’ I say, ‘Yup,’ and then they say, ‘Can you just sign up again?’ ” he said.
If anything, this is only going to weaken the confidence in the electoral system. And the way this is heading, seeing that these groups are supporting Osama Barack, if he wins and this fraud has not been stopped then this will be enough reason to question the legitimacy of his presidency.
ACORN is under investigation in Ohio and at least eight other states – including Missouri, where the FBI said it’s planning to look into potential voter fraud – for over-the-top efforts to get as many names as possible on the voter rolls regardless of whether a person is registered or eligible.
It’s even under investigation in Bridgeport, Conn., for allegedly registering a 7-year-old girl to vote, according to the State Elections Enforcement Commission.
At this point, investigation or no investigation, we all know ACORN is involved in election fraud and must be diciplined. What they are doing is abusing one of our greatest rights as Americans, the right to vote.
The Cleveland voting probe, first reported by The Post yesterday, also focused on Lateala Goins, who said she put her name on multiple voter registrations. She guessed ACORN canvassers then put fake addresses on them. “You can tell them you’re registered as many times as you want – they do not care,” she said.
I really hate to say this, but I actually agree with this statement. Nobody checks for fraud at the polls and, in most cases, nobody asks for an ID. The opertunity for fraud is always there.
Now, this detail in particular is what I find most interesting,
During the primary season, however, the Obama camp paid another group, Citizen Service Inc., $832,598 for various political services, according to Federal Elections Commission filings. That group and ACORN share the same board of directors.
Is there any more proof needed that Obama has a trend of having ties to extremists. — First, Jeremiah Wright, next ACORN, and now we find out that he is supportive of Raila Odinga, a ruthless thug that resorted to violence in Kenya when he was denied the post of Kenya’s head-of-state with President Kibiki (click here). The Kenyan government, that is routing for Obama, warned the Journalist covering the story to not say a thing about it (click here). The Candidate of change is down-right dirty, and his associations with such extremists show it.

Sen. Barack Obama designated a personal aide as his direct contact for the 2007 Kenyan presidential campaign of Raila Odinga, who later was appointed prime minister after his election loss was followed by widespread, deadly violence that destroyed or damaged 800 Christian churches, according to e-mails obtained by WND senior staff writer Jerry Corsi during a trip to Kenya.
Corsi attempted to release this and other information at a Tuesday press conference in Nairobi. The WND reporter and No. 1 New York Times bestselling author was detained by Kenya security officers as soon as he entered the hotel to make his presentation. He was held incommunicado and without food for the entire day before being permitted to board his regularly scheduled flight out of the country to London, where he is currently recuperating from the ordeal.
As WND has reported, Obama openly campaigned for Odinga during the Illinois Democrat’s 2006 Senate “fact-finding visit” to Kenya.
Odinga called for protests over alleged voter fraud after losing the December 2007 general election. The resulting protest violence left an estimated 1,000 members of the dominant Kikuyu tribe in Kenya dead and an estimated 500,000 displaced from their homes.
The links between Obama and Odinga were documented by copies of two e-mails obtained by Corsi during his meetings in Kenya with various government officials and others.
The e-mails, apparently sent by Obama himself, referenced the senator’s aide, Mark Lippert. The e-mails were provided to WND by an insider in Kenya who fled Odinga’s Orange Democratic political party and requested anonymity because of the danger of retaliation.
The e-mails, identified as coming from Obama’s Senate office, are addressed to “railaaodinga” at a yahoo.com address.
A WND e-mail to the same Obama address generated an automated response and a list of contacts for Obama’s offices. A WND e-mail sent to the Odinga e-mail address didn’t generate a response.
One e-mail purportedly from Obama, dated Dec. 22, 2006, read, “I will kindly wish that all our correspondence [be] handled by Mr Mark Lippert. I have already instructed him. This will be for my own security both for now and in future.”
It is reproduced here with the e-mail address of the person who forwarded it to WND redacted:
Lippert is a long-term Obama Senate staff member identified by the Chicago Sun-Times as a member of Obama’s “inner circle of foreign policy experts.” The Sun-Times has said if Obama is elected president, his secretary of state and national security advisers are expected to come from this inner circle.
In December 2006 Odinga was in the early stages of planning to run as the ODP candidate against President Mwai Kibaki.
The e-mails from Obama’s office to Odinga’s presidential campaign seem to show Obama and Odinga, who once told the BBC he is Obama’s cousin, had discussions about Odinga’s 2007 campaign.
WND was unable to reach the Obama campaign for a comment, as the campaign telephone system disconnected a WND call three times in a row without any provision to leave a message.
The former ODM official who provided the e-mails to WND asked for anonymity because of concerns the disclosure of his identity could endanger his life in a volatile political atmosphere in Kenya where Odinga’s fellow Luo tribal members staged sometimes violent protests against Kibaki’s supporters, who primarily are Kikuyu.
Sen. Obama’s relatives in Kenya are Luo.
The former ODM official reported abandoning the ODM and opposing Odinga because of concerns Odinga had manipulated tribal violence in Kenya to gain political power.
During Corsi’s trip to Kenya, WND also confirmed the role of the anonymous ODM source in implementing an Odinga campaign strategy which the source claimed was shared with Obama’s Senate office. The strategy is described in a document titled “Executive Brief on the Positioning and Marketing of the Orange Democratic Movement & ‘The People’s President.’”
The document at one point suggests: “It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive, uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers. Available research also suggests that this strategy could also resonate with poor kikuyu youth who feel economically marginalized by their own government. As part of this strategy the party should seek to elevate the emotions within all youth constituents who may it successful, be willing to vote for us in the protest. Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme.”
WND previously reported Obama was in telephone communications with Odinga on nearly a daily basis during the Democratic primary in New Hampshire in January.
The second e-mail, again from Obama’s Senate address to Odinga’s e-mail, stated, “Thanks for contacting me about Mr Lippert through email. Contact him through mark_lippert.obama.senate.gov.”
Chapter 4 of Corsi’s “The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality,” titled “Kenya, Odinga, Communism and Islam,” refers to the strategy document, but its authenticity was confirmed by the former ODM official during interviews with Corsi in Kenya over the last week.
The document describes an Odinga strategy of exploiting “anti-Kikuyu sentiments,” a clearly racial strategy aimed at inflaming long-standing tribal animosity to gain electoral advantage for Odinga.
The last point of the campaign document describes what happened when Odinga lost the December 2007 election: “Ethnic Tensions/Violence as a Last Resort.”
Obama continued to support Odinga’s effort to share Kenya’s head-of-state with President Kibiki even after the wave of Odinga-prompted violence that followed his defeat.
Sen. Barack Obama with Raila Odinga
Some pundits in the U.S. already are suggesting that if Obama is not elected, there could be violence. On CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360″ show, James Carville said, “But you stop and contemplate this country if Obama goes in and he has a consistent five point lead and loses the election, it would be very, very, very dramatic out there.”
According to a Wall Street Journal article posted on the Obama campaign website, Lippert is doing dou
The site gives Lippert, 34, credit for helping “hone” Obama’s anti-war views.
The website report states: “Over the past two years, Sen. Obama and Lt. Lippert have traveled around the globe together, played one-on-one basketball and shared each other’s shoes. Lt. Lippert has continuing email exchanges with the senator’s half sister in Africa. Sen. Obama encouraged Lt. Lippert to get engaged. Sen. Obama calls Lt. Lippert, ‘one of my favorite people in the world.’”
Lippert previously worked at the State Department and at the Office of Naval Intelligence in Suitland, Md.
The report says Lippert accompanied Obama as an adviser to Russia and then to Kenya.
