McCain hits Obama over his ACORN affiliation
This latest ad not only exposes Obama’s history with radical community organizer ACORN and their massive voter fraud, but also their part in forcing conditions which led to the current subprime crisis. (Transcript via Hot Air)
ANNCR: Who is Barack Obama? A man with “a political baptism performed at warp speed.” Vast ambition.After college, he moved to Chicago. Became a community organizer. There, Obama met Madeleine Talbot, part of the Chicago branch of ACORN. He was so impressive that he was asked to train the ACORN staff.
What did ACORN in Chicago engage in? Bullying banks. Intimidation tactics. Disruption of business. ACORN forced banks to issue risky home loans. The same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we’re in today.
No wonder Obama’s campaign is trying to distance him from the group, saying, “Barack Obama Never Organized with ACORN.” But Obama’s ties to ACORN run long and deep. He taught classes for ACORN. They even endorsed him for President.
But now ACORN is in trouble.
REPORTER: There are at least 11 investigations across the country involving thousands of potentially fraudulent ACORN forms.
ANNCR: Massive voter fraud. And the Obama campaign paid more than $800,000 to an ACORN front for get out the vote efforts.
Pressuring banks to issue risky loans. Nationwide voter fraud.
Barack Obama. Bad judgment. Blind ambition. Too risky for America.

UPDATE Video has been re-linked. The Obama brownshirts succeeded in bullying YouTube into pulling the ad, but it’s since been reposted.
When listening to Obama attempting to distance himself from the ACORN charlatans, it’s important to review what Obama himself is quoted as saying about his time with them.
“I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”
