I stand by my reading.

Then you really are stupid. It’s obvious that the subject release being discussed was the article – NOT a list.

Please everyone, sign this.. Stop ACORN from getting taxpayer $$$..

Since MM seems to have lots of these emails, maybe she could post the lot of them so we could actually see the context. My guess is that she doesn’t do that because the conclusion is obvious — that there is nothing there.

The email clearly talks about waiting for the Florida list “to come out”, i.e. to be published.

How did you misread that?

Try again. What was expected “to come out?”

LGM, you and your fellow travellers may think it is funny and really not a big deal because it helps your cause. Do you not see where this leads to or do you just not care? What happens when they start ignoring laws that you DO agree with?

I think the email itself speaks more clearly than MM’s fantasy spin of it. There is nothing illegal or unethical about sending a mailing to a public list of Democratic contributors.

“The mildest things confuse people and can ultimately disenfranchise people during elections,” Banks said. “Here we are wanting to disenfranchise people because they don’t send a card back?”

No doubt he is cheered by Eric Holder’s D.O.J. stopping “purges” of illegals in Georgia.

MM, I have to say this make Inspector Clouseau look good**. The email plainly says that ACORN is getting the Obama donor list from publicly available Obama campaign filings.

Hey, clueless. Reread Michelle’s post and try not to miss the point this time.

“…here’s another internal email between staffers discussing how to use the Obama donor list… .”

You’re spinning, LGM. Smart campaign’s do not surrender their donor lists so easily – they’re too much of a valuable asset to just give away w/o a quid pro quo.

What’s more, I believe MM’s point is their intent with the donor list, not just how it was acquired, and the ethics involved.

Man is a marvelous curiosity. When he is at his very very best he is a sort of low grade nickel-plated angel; at is worst he is unspeakable, unimaginable; and first and last and all the time he is a sarcasm.

– Mark Twain

It would behoove us all to try not to be that sarcasm.

Campaign disclosure keeps lots of potential donors away. If I would send a check to a Democrat, my volume of junk mail would instantly double.

**I apologize for the gratuitous insult, but this one was too fun. This seems to be a “sharp elbows” blog.

Remember: Project Vote is a 501(c)(3) barred by law from engaging in political campaigning.

Now all we need is a Justice Dept. with the cajones to go after them….not gonna happen!

You are assuming of course that the will of the people will still/by then? be relevant (again?)

Groups like Project-vote and ACORN hardly bother disguising their true agenda any longer.

On top of that, they use taxpayer proceeds to spin off even more satellite groups for purely political purposes!

Still they are allowed to rake in our taxpayer dough and do the lefts bidding.

Our political system has become a cross between a banana republic and the mafioso.

Life’s great when the media is in your pocket, you can get away with anything!

Aside: Wonder who gave them the advance notice on the NYTimes piece, which appeared on April 28, 2008? How courteous.

Everyone needs to remember this when the inevitable call for bailing out these leftist rags is made.
