ACORN trained by Obama to pressure banks into issuing loans to low income blacks with no job, income, or credit. acorn obama fraud. Not to mention ACORN community organizer voter registration fraud.
John McCain's campaign is using Barack Obama's ties to a controversial low-income advocacy group to escalate his criticism of the Democratic nominee's character and judgment.
The McCain campaign released a Web video and rolled out surrogates Friday to question Obama's connection to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which is the subject of at least 11 investigations.
The group's Las Vegas office was raided Tuesday by state authorities investigating claims of voter fraud, and a federal judge on Thursday ordered Ohio's secretary of state to verify voter registrations -- partly out of concern that groups like ACORN were not eradicating fraudulent forms.
"Given ACORN's recent efforts to engage in voter fraud and to disrupt our political system, Obama's affiliation with this group raises serious questions about his judgment and ability to lead this nation," the McCain campaign said in a lengthy memo.
McCain's Web video highlighted Obama's past legal work for the group and the fact that they endorsed him for president.
What makes ACORN particularly embarrassing for Obama is that he used to be one of them. He served as general counsel for ACORN in Illinois, channeled millions to the organization from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge with Bill Ayers (whose funds he distributed), and has lately spent $800,000 of his campaign money to subsidize the groups activities.
