    More Change We Can Believe In....obamamohammeds are sick and pitiful......

    Via NewsBusters, apparently, a poster at the radical nutroot site, DemocraticUnderground, created a fake listing for someone pretending to sell baby Trig on ebay. The faux listing read "Baby used prop newborn boy 3-6 months special needs," and included a description that called Governor Palin a "pushy social climber, unwilling to let pregnancy and children stand in the way of ambition." It also listed baby's Trig's father as "unknown."

    Hussein is desperate....and his glass-eyed groupies have finished him off.

    NOBAMA!!!

    Originally appearing on the DemocraticUnderground at around 1PM on September 4, by DU poster Bob Weaver, the thread was soon locked by DU moderators and the image scrubbed from the site. But not before a screen shot was taken...

      Sick, truly. It's hard to believe that there are people that will actually do stuff like this.
      Even if someone doesn't agree with Palin's policies, she's still extremely charismatic and like able. Not to mention she's sharp as hell (very refreshing, I might add)!
      Besides, all the Palin hater's might as well get used to her cause she's gonna be POTUS in 2012!

    American elections are full of fraud, cheating and party tweaking. The dead still vote early and often in many parts of the country as a matter of fact.. To get out the vote means cheating to get more votes for your side and cheating to reduce votes for the other side. The tactic to disqualify some voters ( the blacks) to help other voters ( the whites) is in the DNA of every Republican. They win elections this way, so who wants to argue with success? Democracy is not about counting every vote ; it is about control of who gets to vote. If you can decide who votes you will decide who wins.

      I see you've been reading from the Daley machine's political play book.

    This couldn't be the very credible Jonathan Alter, the model of journalistic integrity, trying to call the GOP racist? Isn't that the same vile gutter politics his mentor Barry opposes so much?

    Here is Hussein's example of Change We Can Believe In...his posse ACORN........

    Last July, ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State. Seven ACORN workers had submitted nearly 2,000 bogus voter registration forms. According to case records, they flipped through phone books for names to use on the forms, including "Leon Spinks," "Frekkie Magoal" and "Fruto Boy Crispila." Three ACORN election hoaxers pleaded guilty in October. A King County prosecutor called ACORN's criminal sabotage "an act of vandalism upon the voter rolls."

    The group's vandalism on electoral integrity is systemic. ACORN has been implicated in similar voter fraud schemes in Missouri, Ohio and at least 12 other states. The Wall Street Journal noted: "In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey. During a congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained ACORN's practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected months earlier."

    VOTE EARLY and VOTE OFTEN.......not this time Barry.

    NOBAMA!!!

    To: Pia - "If you don't like his articles, don't read them"????? Huh? If you don't like McCain-Palin, don't listen. Just read and hear what you want to - is that your point, Pia?

    JonJon...you just get goofier by the week. You aready have lost your journalistic credibility...now I guess you need to solidify your standing with the DailyKooks and the MoveOn.commies....

    If community organizers like Hussein Obama and his thug patrols like ACORN were not a bunch of frauds, voter I.D. would not be necessary....BUT...that's not the case. Here is just the lastest in ACORN legendary fraud...

    August 28, 2008
    Another voter fraud investigation for ACORN
    Patrick Casey
    The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports today that the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections (Cleveland, Ohio) is investigating 75,000 voter registrations -- many found to have been fraudulent -- submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN):

    ACORN has miraculously been able to find 75,000 new voters in a county that already has 200,000 more registered voters than adults, according to the Census Bureau.

    Change we can believe in!

    Just another piece of evidence that shows...Hussein is a CROOK and a FRAUD!!!

    NOBAMA!!!

    To: essarocket - why do you think Republicans hate democracy, and hate America??

  • Posted By: quasqueton @ 09/11/2008 10:39:11 PM

    To: theVigil - I've got some news for you and Mr. Alter. Vote for whomever you wish to. That's not a problem. My girlfriend in Des Moines, Iowa, very actively campaigned for John Edwards! Truth is, Alter is an idiot, and really doesn't know what he is talking about. Another "white guilt" person?

  • Posted By: Lee Holmes @ 09/11/2008 3:23:05 PM

    Alter.Stop lying. CRAWFORD requires ALL persons of ALL races to hold a valid drivers licence or other state identification [which Alter,for some reason,never mentions]. Nor does he mention that the identification is free. Indeed,Justice Stevens,writing for the majority in CRAWFORD Syllabus 288-289 Sec.C,observes that ''as the identification is free, going to the DMV to pose for a picture and obtaining the identification does not create an undue burden''[vis-a-vis HARPER,another voting rights decision].
    What we HAVE found is that the single biggest voting organizer in the black community today in the Midwest, ACORN,is also the most fraud and corruption ridden. Alter cannot make a single case that would sustain his argument that even poor people,being poor,cannot obtain free identification,if they can otherwise avail themselves of other free services including trips to state employment offices,free food and clothing,libraries,missions and rescue services,and other entities designed to offer free services which yet require walking ,borrowing a ride,
    bicycling, or using city bus services which in Indiana, as in many other states, offer free passes to the indigent and poor.[known as FREE TRANSIT cards in Indiana].
    Alter is on another of his leftwinged ,phony,fishing expeditions,merely serving his Obaman master.

      You are right about ACORN. ACORN was a client of Woodlawn Funds, the company in which Obama and Bill Ayers served on for years together. They associated with this org and other radical groups:

      Woods Funds Investments (association with Radical Groups):

      MIDWEST ACADEMY: A training organization that TEACHES RADICAL ACTIVISTS TACTICS of direct action, targeting, confrontation, and intimidation.

      In January 2004 founder HEATHER BOOTH was featured at the National Conference on Organized Resistance at American University in Washington, D.C. This radical conference featured speakers on such TOPICS as AN ANALYSIS OF POLITICALLY MOTIVATED PROPERTY DESTRUCTION AS A LEGITIMATE TACTIC. Booth participated in a panel discussion with former Black Panther Party leader Elaine Brown and Cathy Wilkerson, who had been Editor of the SDS magazine New Left Notes and a member of the domestic terrorist radical group the Weathermen.

      * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
      ACORN: A LIBERAL ACTIVIST GROUP, notorious for voter registration FRAUD and even paying for votes using crack cocaine.

      Operating in at least 38 states (as well as Canada and Mexico), ACORN pushes a highly partisan agenda, and its organizers are best understood as shock troops for the AFL-CIO and even the Democratic Party.

      Acorn and its affiliates have pulled some real stunts in recent years. In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey. During a Congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained ACORNs practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected months earlier. (As I remember in the primaries there was one particular state that held out the votes as described hear that had the news media in an uproar trying to find out what the hrs and hrs of delay were for).

      Given this history, its not surprising that ACORN is so hostile to voter identification laws and other efforts to ensure fairness and accuracy at the polls.

    The Republicans want virtually no regulation on business. Any attempt to tax or regulate it is met with cries of "socialist" or "thief". But when it comes to the voting rolls or citizenship, they want it locked down tighter than military clearance. Fees, drivers' licenses, having to send your voter registration details back three times (as I did this year), no problem.

    Why is this?

    • Posted By: SPIRITED AWAY @ 09/11/2008 10:21:11 PM

      RE:" having to send your voter registration details back three times (as I did this year), no problem."

      You must be on a "WATCH" list. I can't say that I'm surprised. LOL

    • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 09/11/2008 8:51:17 PM

      Agreed and this is one of the many reasons why they have lost my vote permanently..

  • Posted By: obamaconbots @ 09/11/2008 10:07:05 PM

    thank you thank you thank you for my months rent. I bet my neighbor that before the week was out racism would be back and here you go. $500 richer. Thank you Alter. It's not like these are new regulations or unknown to Obama campaigners...didn't seem to have any problem in Lake County, Indiana did they? Maybe by Nov the Daley Machine will have a couple thousand false names and addresses and driver's licenses like Daley Sr did to get JFK elected. I don't think 11K absentee ballots will cut it in the general election. It's not like voters didn't know this. They knew it from the primary. You might enjoy this video showing a little "This is Obama's house" electioneering. Thanks again for the $500.

    Why does the GOP hate democracy? Why do they hate America? Why are they so threatened?

  • Posted By: wilsan @ 09/11/2008 9:38:59 PM

    This guy's lies just go on, and on, and on... Only a low-class rag like Newsweek would publish these things. The 'best' from the "in the Tank for Obama" media.

    "the Practical equivelent of"...and here we go into Altered loopey- land of factoids and equivication, probably supplied by the National Lawyers Guild!
    Obama is more interested in pigs and lipstick, lipstick and pigs and other moslem parables and this-is -likes to be concerned about an alleged racism plot the evil republicans and homophobes who hide under every bed commit!
    Alter! you'll feel a lot better if you just get your self a tube of lipstick in one hand and a tire guage in the other!And walk around with womens underwear on your head so you look like a moslem, and mark the 7th anniversary of the 911 tragedy THAT way...

    Good article Jonathan, thank you.

  • Posted By: olderwiser @ 09/11/2008 8:12:54 PM

    Jonathon, I've got to ask you to rethink the statement above that "The motive here is political, not racial. " The point of the article is that the Republicans are disenfranchising black people, targeting them specifically. I think that one could buy the idea that this is "political" AND "racial" discrimination, but there is no way that one can single out blacks and prevent them from voting and claim that this is not a racist motive.
    Try this. Burn your next wine cork on the stove. Let it cool. Then, rub the burnt cork on your face and hands and all exposed parts of your body. This is what Al Jolson did when he played a black man on stage back in the 1930's and sang that famous old song that is never played any more, "Mammy". Then, go to one of these disenfranchised voting precincts and watch your vote discounted. Try to imagine that it is only political and not racial discrimination.
    In times past in parts of the deep South, blacks had to pass a spelling test to prove that they were intelligent enough to vote. The most popular word to spell in Alabama was "antidisestablishmentarianism". You were allowed to vote at your precinct if you were black and could spell that work correctly.
    It really is time to vote the Republicans out of office on a very large and impressive scale.

    Exactly! I enjoyed your "Newsweak", because that is what it is. Why in the world you people are called "mainstream media" is beyond me. Oops, I am sorry, can't say "you people". Well, I am glad you are here - just gives me more incentive.

  • Posted By: teddyo @ 09/11/2008 7:33:38 PM

    Republicans can try there tricks but it will not work this time. People of all races, colors, religions, all over this great nation. will not be fooled this time.

    And, what is wrong with verifying?
