Drinking the ACORN Kool-Aid: How Cries of Voter Fraud Cover Up GOP Elections Theft
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr-and-greg-palast/drinking-the-acorn-koolai_b_138390.html

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Greg Palast
Posted October 28, 2008 | 12:38 AM (EST)

Virtually the entire mainstream electronic media drank ACORN Kool-Aid this month brewed up by the Republican National Committee. Almost no one seriously challenged John McCain's comical assertions that ACORN, a grassroots voter registration group, "is now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy."

While the Republicans had the distracted media searching for links between Obama and ACORN, RNC operatives were busily completing one of the most massive voter suppression and purging efforts in American history, stealing hundreds of thousands of Democratic votes across the embattled swing states and striving to arrange chaos and endless lines at the voting booths next week.

3. The repuke philosophy must be that the best defense is a good offense.
They have to accuse first, so that the accusations against them might be seen with some doubt.

7. That and there is no such thing as ethics or morals. For them anyway.
The Ten Commandments are for them to proclaim and their opponents to follow.

6. K&R, even the use of the term "voter fraud" covers up what the Republicans are really doing...

which is better called: Election Fraud.
