Lots of chatter on the right-wing-nut-o-sphere: expect McCain to talk about ACORN tonight

[Stop Cornyn]

It makes no sense, of course, but expect that to be one of McCain's chief talking points tonight.

[ingac70]

1. Is he gonna do like Palin...

and just ramble on about whatever her wants, never mind the question?

[daninthemoon]

2. Uhhhmmm. What's ACORN?

[Rockholm]

6. A Nut....Just like McPalin.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

3. Where's that drinking bingo thread? ACORN needs to be added. (n/t)

[pnwmom]

4. And ACORN is? n/t

[1corona4u]

12. It's Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now

but I have avoided the story, because whatever it is, I consider it bullshit, so I don't know what the deal is.

19. Thanks. Here's a clear explanation at another thread.

5. Expect Obama to blow him out of the water if he does.

I really hope McNutso does crack the acorn, because that will open up Pandora's box.

[rucky]

11. The group that pushed through that minimum wage increase

that McCain voted against 6 times.

[ClassWarrior]

7. You mean the ones he's holding in his left cheek?

Oh, that's right, that's the alien living inside his head.

NGU.

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Love your sig pic.

may I borrow that?

[bluestateguy]

9. That would be like Obama talking about the Club for Growth

Inside Baseball crap.

[Thrill]

10. He doesn't have the balls to go there. He will look like a fool

[Cha]

13. Why? Does ACORN have some

Democratic scandal associated with it?

[leftofcool]

14. They just got their offices in Nevada raided by the FBI

Something about voter fraud. Not sure

[PatGund]

17. The right-wing.....

....and their PUMA "allies" have been pimping ACORN as supposedly trying to "steal the election for Obama" though supposed "voter fraud".

I fully expect the "Obama stole the election" meme to be circulating within 6 hours of Obama's win next month.

[Stop Cornyn]

18. I think the meme will be circulating in six hours ... ugh

[Cha]

20. Thanks..they're all accusing Team Obama of what

they're doing..they think they're so clever.

Fuck them and the corporatemediaWhore$..we're taking over and they can wallow in their ROT.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

15. McCain won't touch it because there's really nothing there.

As long as it's relegated to back channel chatter, RWers can pretend it's a damning problem and it might actually have some traction. Bring the story out into the light and it will be debunked-- and no longer useful.

16. Here is the core of the right-wing-nut-job chatter:

ACORN office in Vegas raided in voter-fraud probe
By OSKAR GARCIA, Associated Press Writer Tue Oct 7, 1:30 PM ET

LAS VEGAS - Nevada state authorities are raiding the Las Vegas headquarters of an organization that works to get low-income people to vote.

A Nevada secretary of state's office spokesman said Tuesday that investigators are looking for evidence of voter fraud at the office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.

No one was at the ACORN office when state agents arrived with a search warrant and began carting records and documents away.

Secretary of State spokesman Bob Walsh says ACORN is accused of submitting multiple voter registrations with false and duplicate names.

The raid comes two months after state and federal authorities formed a task force to pursue election-fraud allegations in Nevada.
