MSNBC Teams Up with ACORN, La Raza
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 1:07 PM
MSNBC has launched a news project with a variety of left-wing special interest groups to boost their Election Day coverage and help viewers experiencing problems at the polls.

One of the groups involved in MSNBC's "Election Protection" project is the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. ACORN has been involved in rampant voter registration fraud across the nation this election cycle and is actively supporting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama for president.

"Our partnership with Election Protection will play a major role in NBC News' 'Making Your Vote Count’ coverage, said Phil Alongi, Executive Producer of NBC News' Election Coverage in an Oct. 22 press release. "Not only will we be able to direct voters who are experiencing problems with a hotline to call, we will also have our team of reporters and producers follow-up on the information Election Protection is gathering."

When asked for comment about ACORN's role in the project MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines wrote Townhall in an email "this a question for them, not us."

Most of the groups MSNBC wants their viewers to contact and shape their news coverage on Election Day have extreme liberal agendas ranging that focus on variety of issues including housing, gay rights, amnesty, environmental policies and labor.

The National Council of La Raza, U.S. Pirg, NAACP, the Human Rights Campaign, the National Gay and Lesbian Law Association, Sierra Club and the Service Employees International Union are among Election Protection's many partners.

ACORN is not listed as a partner on the Election Protection's main website, but is listed as a partner on a promotional flyer that is available on the website.

These groups actively lobby Congress to support liberal policies. Most of them are openly supporting Barack Obama and other Democrats in the November elections.

Election Protection claims to be non-partisan. None of their listed partner groups, however, lean conservative.

Daytime anchor David Shuster promoted the effort Wednesday by telling viewers, "NBC is making your vote count. If you have a question about voting or problems at the polls, our partners at Election Protection can help. They have trained volunteers available to answer your questions. Call 1-866-OUR-VOTE if you have a question or if you run into or see any problems."

Anchor Contessa Brewer has similarly hyped the project. The Election Project features a snippet of her telling viewers about the project on their website. She described MSNBC's relationship with Election Protection as an "exclusive partnership."

The part that Nancy leaves out is
that the California Republican party contract with Jacoby was ended, after the state's voter registration period expired.

ACORN-affiliated Citizens Services Inc. got $832,598 from the Obama campaign for get-out-the-vote work during the primaries. Those payments stopped in May and the Obama campaign says they should not be an election issue. ACORN is still in the tent with the Obama campaign. But that is just another distraction, a mere piffle about nothing.

Will Be Ignored by Libs
Libs are the popular opinion
Libs are about infantcide
And Barack is your Hero?
He is a sham and a shame!
He did pick the right party to try and get elected president.
He goes against King and chooses the popular opinion Party!
Below written by Martin Luther King


There were times when the Christian Church was very powerful--In times when the early christians rejoiced at being deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed. In those days the church was not merely a (thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion:) (It was a thermostat that transformed the mores of Society.)
Christians by their effort and example bought and end to such ancient evils as (infantcide) and gladiatorial contest.

This is in no way complete, but should give you an idea of Mr. Kings thoughts.

Highlight the words popular opinion and infantcide. Barack Obama runs his campaign on these two things.

ACORN is victim of DoJ scandal
Yes. It's true. They go after ACORN every election year, and this one's no different. It is BECAUSE, and only BECAUSE ACORN is registering voters who are otherwise totally overlooked due to age, health and economic status - people who's civil liberties are violated when they are disenfranchised by those who feel their candidates in elections lose if everyone voted - Notably and exclusively, Republicans, led by Paul Wehrich, the guru of "googoo" ["good government" portrayed by Wehrich as a baaaaad thing].

So, every election cycle the Bushies, and our trusted AG, Gonzo, went on a witch hunt to persecute those Republican AGs at the state level who wouldn't falsely accuse ACORN according to the stylings of Karl Rove himself, and aided and abetted by our trusted Prez and Attny. Gen. Gonzo. Nice, huh? Hence, the DoJ scandal that unearthed the nasty doings of Gonzo and Rove, and forced both to resign their posts. Thanks to a complicit shill in the AG's office of DoJ, put there by Bush, both corrupt clowns are walking free and/or writing commentary and appearing on FixedNews. How wonderful that the Right is sooo very forgiving, but only IYAR. Of course.

Election fraud trumps voter "fraud"
Listening to hannity's handmaiden renders one stupid. Remember that.

Voter "fraud", as in the case of ACORN allegations, is a farce. ACORN is the sole victim here - they turned in the suspicious registrations to the authorities from the start, which is something the hannity handmaiden REFUSES to tell you. The false registrations were filed by employees who cheated their employer - ACORN. Those registration would NEVER lead to a fraudulent vote. NEVER. It would be impossible for them to, now wouldn't it? But never fear, there are actually a couple of serious cases of voter fraud that would affect the vote, and guess what? THE PERPS ARE REPUBLICAN!!: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/oct/22/uselections200 8-republicans
http://www.klas-tv.com/global/story.asp?s=2421595

On the other hand, Election Fraud IS in fact running rampant in this country RIGHT NOW. In the form of vote caging, flipping candidates in the voting machines, and purging legal, legitimate voters (who happen to all be Dems) from voting rolls. THIS is your Republican Party, folks. Systematically seeking to win this election by stealing it [again] if they have to.

Amanda
The National Council of The Race (LaRaza in Spanish) is a left wing organization? Just because they want to undermine the rule of law and get special dispensation for illegal aliens?

John McCain has been pandering to them relentlessly to no effect.

If the GOP will not be the party to stand up for the rule of law, national sovereignty and American citizens, they deserve to go the way of the Whigs.

GOP-RIP
