Huffington Post: Obama delegate/supporter also on board of group making NC robo-calls

I know it's fun to have conspiracy theories out there against Obama but this has been brought up on CNN/MSNBC also:

During five election cycles, I have worked with the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition where I co-directed targeted voter registration campaigns and 'get out the vote' efforts to the African American community. I have also had the great privelege of serving on the Board of Directors of Women's Voices, Women Vote -- a non profit, non partisan organization whose mission is registering underrepresented Americans, primarily, unmarried women.

I am also a voter. And in this election, I am supporting Barack Obama, whom I've known and worked with for years. I am also an elected delegate to the Democratic Convention for Barack Obama.

Given my candidate preference and my background and associations in voter registration efforts, I can say with great conviction, there was no effort to suppress or confuse African American voters, or any other voters in the state of North Carolina by Women's Voices, Women Vote.

I have seen up close the work of Women's Voices. Women Vote and know well the commitment, passion and leadership our organization has shown in helping make the voices of unmarried women and other underrepresented voters heard. There may have been mistakes made in this particular registration drive in North Carolina, but Women's Voices, Women Vote's motives were not malicious or intended in any way to confuse voters. Ironically, just the opposite. I know the staff is making every effort to right the situation.

1. Just as I thought, no real evidence of either candidate being involved with this

[kerry-is-my-prez]

5. but it's so much fun to blame EVERYTHING on Hillary....

If she is so capable of causing all of the things she has been accused of - then she certainly should be elected for being so competent and powerful.

[leftofcool]

8. And you know she is personally responsible for the melting ice caps

[DJ13]

2. The Clinton ties to this go to current and former STAFF members

Just because one of these clowns tries to claim he voted for Obama it isnt anywhere cLOSE to the same thing.

[rodeodance]

4. Rove whispers just like you BHO folks do here on DU

[DJ13]

7. I think its time for another dosage, you no longer make sense

[rodeodance]

16. you spread rumors just like Rove does. is that clear enough for you?

[MarjorieG]

6. Probably as pro-Obama as her other so-called 'bitter' instigator and true elitist, Mayhill Fowler.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

10. He's an elected delegate for Obama

n/t

[MarjorieG]

11. We assume elected thoroughly on board? How about some rogue operation within?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

12. tin foil hat time...

n/t

3. lol, what's the President supposed to say

9. I posted this yesterday and

of course it was ignored. Conspiracies are so much fun.

[crankychatter]

13. BS - supporting Obama is NOT the same as being a Clinton Staffer

apples and oranges 100% Bullshit.

her protestations of lovin' her some black folks is irrelevant

It is no theory that classic, old school,

VOTER SUPPRESSION of a Class 1 Felony type, PROBABLY TOOK PLACE

All investigations, crime or otherwise begin with a theory.

An official criminal investigation is happening RIGHT now

Labelling the private investigations that resulted in this pending official CRIMINAL MATTER, a "conspiracy theory" is right wing Bullshit.

They WANT THIS MATTER DEAD... they have UNLIMITED RESOURCES

get it?

Oh, and IF YOU'RE WRONG... and it's not investigated thoroughly, because you helped DISSUADE people from poking into it further...

Will THAT be ok with you?

I suspect it will, and if I'm wrong, fine... but YOU, are more wrong.

[KittyWampus]

14. so a board member is going to admit to malfeasance? There is NO OTHER EXPLANATION

none. not one other plausible excuse for such incompetence over such a long period of time.

And just because ONE person involved says they support Obama means jack shit.

You think a board member will admit to felony?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

15. Cui bono?

There's your answer.
