FNC airs new ACORN voter suppression ad, RNC responds
"America's Election HQ" 10/29/08
Commentary

TRANSCRIPT:
ERIC SHAWN: Now they are fighting back. They are accusing the GOP and the McCain campaign of voter suppression. They say voter suppression is a real problem across the country, it takes many forms, such as voter intimidation. They also cite the no match, no vote Federal Law, where you have to show up and your i.d. exactly has to reflect what states have on their voter rolls. They say that an untold number of Americans have been purged from the voter rolls, theyre predicting there could be problems six days from now, and they say that is voter suppression. They also started an advertisement that will be showing on some cable networks, including an ad buy on the Fox News Channel. 48 times, in New York, Chicago, L.A., and D.C. accusing the McCain campaign of voter suppression. Lets take a look at the ad and the point that they are trying to make.

[Ad Shown]

SHAWN: Well, election officials across the country that weve talked to have basically disputed any allegations of voter suppression. Saying if you have problems at the polls when you show up, you can for example cast a provisional ballot that will then be checked later. And the Republican National Committee today, much tougher than that. In a statement released in response to this ad they say, its another attempt by this questionable organization, ACORN, to waste taxpayer money and cloud their own record of voter registration fraud and illegal activities. So weve got salvos from both sides.

JANE : What is ACORN saying about the phony voter registration forms?

SHAWN: They say its hysteria and its overblown. They are confident that there will be no illegal votes from these phony voter registration forms. We have seen one in Cleveland, Ohio where there was an illegal registration that turned into an illegal vote. But the officials there say they stopped it, they cancelled that vote. And that shows that the system works.

ACORN workers are sickos who have been caught on hidden cameras helping to create child prostitution rings.

[AverageVoter]

When Democrats can't win an election, they always claim that someone "stole" the election. Republicans just fall back and re-group.

ACORN tries to register everyone as many times as possible. Their goal is to have "voters without borders"

[menana2u]

How sad, you sure can't win this election by stating the truth, or by being open and honest, so let's point the finger at anyone else!

Just what Obama does.. Lie, hide, try to steal the election,t hen blame someone else when the truth starts coming out.

Tired of the blame game!

Vote McCain.

McCain's site lets you use your free speech, but Obama's has to approve, or just delete's you.

How American. LOL

ACORN-Another crapping on your rights now!

[Cashmakessense]

I can't stand this. I haven't heard one Fox news reporter state how many illegal votes have been cast in past elections? This whole "voter registration fraud" bull was the republicans last shot, and it hasn't and won't work

Obama 08!!

[GBTRU]

Basically at the end he just proved Acron right and the GOP wrong on how the phony voter registration is caught and delt with. While FOX, Drudge, GOP, McCain campaign continue this idiotic Acorn aligation.
