Document drop: The ObamACORN-Project Vote-nutroots axis

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 2, 2009 05:25 PM

Have you ever wondered why liberal blogs have shown zero interest in the coordinated corruption between the Obama campaign, ACORN, and its non-profit affiliates who are barred by law from engaging in partisan political activity?

Here’s an internal e-mail from Project Vote/ACORN lead official Nathan Henderson-James addressed to his “colleagues” — all editors and writers for the Left’s leading blogs, including Ezra Klein and Greg Sargent (now both working for the Washington Post). Henderson-James asks his colleagues for help in raising $850,000 for the Project Vote registration drive and thanks them for their “continued generosity and support” and “loyalty.”

    MM, remember how the mainstream media went after Nixon….well you are much younger than I so you may remember reading about it. This connection needs to be investigated as vigorously as watergate. Where are all the investigative reports gone?

    we are living in red china….

    Only in the sense that I’d wonder why the getaway driver for a bunch of bank robbers shows zero interest in ratting out his passengers…

    Las Cruces is a good place to investigate. 10,000 registrations? And there were problems with ACORN there.

    How do they pry their lips away from Obambi’s hindquarters long enough to organize this kind of stuff?

    Investigative reporters? Try: invested in one candidate’s election rumpswabs.

    Is it normal to send an email to yourself and BCC: the other recipients? Or is the name on the TO: line actually a distribution list named after the owner?
    I’ll bet the latter is the correct answer and the names on that distribution list would raise more than a few eyebrows.

    If the voter rolls are expanded to include tens of millions of illegal voters after criminal enterprises like ACORN “help” with the Census how would we know–who will audit the results when the wolf is watching the sheep, or the fox is watching the hens?

    Americans better wake up- and put an end to this soon!

    12 million new voters that were not there before(because they are illegal) represents about 10% of the total votes cast in 2008-
    more than enough to ensure nobody but leftists will ever have power again beyond 2010.

    Interesting how the email states:

    “We are now collecting between 40,000 and 50,000 per week, all of which are processed through ourquality contol program, scanned and submitted to election officals within 10 days of completion.”

    “…a thourouhg training program for managers, careful national supervision…”

    Does this not counter the argument that ACORN has tried to make in the cases against them that it was a few bad apples acting outside their control…after all they said they had “carfeul national supervision”.

    Indeed. I have a feeling this is even bigger and nastier than we think. Looks more and more like a bought and paid for election. Good work MM!

    Michelle’s instincts are telling her that this is just the tip of the iceberg. The email in which Strom backs off from her investigation because of a confrontational phone call from the Obama admin. speaks volumes. Keep digging, Michelle, as I said the other day, ‘this stinks’. The big story in this is the co-ordination of the MSM and the various government agencies along with ACORN and all its tentacles have determined the outcome of an election.

    MM,

    Push harder. Pbo is killing all of us and he needs to know we are on to his massive ruses – from his religion to his disdain for all that is good about America.

    I think he has no clue that in any other s***bag country, he would just be an illegitimate mulatto with no hope of ever rising out of his destitute station in life. Instead, with forged documents, he has become the most powerful socialist on earth, about to bankrupt – both financially and morally – the greatest nation on earth.

    I fly Dimmitt’s Flag at my house, and will proudly proclaim “WOLVERINES” if challenged. Civility is the order of the day, but when it breaks down – as it has with John Yoo – one must be prepared to defend life and property. It is the American way.

    Who am I? I am Spartacus. We all must be to get through this.

    Interesting how coordinated ACORN and Project Vote(Democrat) are/were with leftist moonbats and BHO, yet when they get caught red-handed, their leaders claim they know nothing, and throw some schmucks under the bus.

    Yes. MS Outlook (don’t know about others) won’t allow you to send an email just to addresses in the BCC line. If you send it to yourself, all others can be in the BCC line and not know who else received the email.

    IIRC they tried this excuse in Nevada (as well as every other state where they were caught) until their offices were raided. I believe they had a couple of “regional” officials/managers/directors that were being thrown under the bus by their national officials as being out of control.

    What would be curious is the actual numbers of registered voters in New Mexico?? Any of the 472+ part of the illegal or cemetary vote???

    I’ve one it before. Only when I need to send the same not quite “confidnetial” message to numerous specific people on a one time basis and have no need to create a DL.

    Las Cruces was the place where an entire voting box full of ballots was found in the trunk of a poll worker’s car!

    MM misinterpreted the email in writing:

    addressed to his “colleagues” — all editors and writers for the Left’s leading blogs

    The list of recipients is a file called “Nathan Henderson-James”. Presumably that’s a long list of potential donors. The bloggers are on a “CC” list — which means it’s for their information without being addressed to them. It is natural to guess that Henderson-James was hoping for some good blogger press from bloggers who had in the past been sympathetic to ACORN.

    The most straightforward way to read this email is very complimentary to ACORN. They are dedicated to their goal of registering new voters.

    If MM had any actual dirt on ACORN, she would post it.

    O.M.Goodness – you sniveling,snarky troll, LGM. Are you so stupid that you have not seen the previous work Ms.Malkin has done on ACORN’s “dirt”. She has done a commendable job in pointing out ACORN’s corruption and connection to your precious Obama election. Jeez, ACORN registered criminals and dead people here in Colorado who somehow voted. You are incredibly brainwashed by the left! AND YOU ARE A PUTZ!!!
