While the McCain camp keeps bringing up Ayers, it’s ACORN that we should be shining the spotlight on. I can understand why McCain hasn’t brought it up yet; he’d be branded a racist. But with the raids on the ACORN offices this week, which even CNN covered as voter fraud, I don’t think those types of charges will stick.Read about Obama’s CURRENT ties to ACORN.
ACORN is tied to mortgage mess.
John Fund lays out the tactics of ACORN in his book, Stealing Elections. While ACORN is not the central focus of the book, you will find an eerily familiar story.

Inside Obama’s Acorn: By their fruits ye shall know them.
What if Barack Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along? Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. Acorn is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because Acorn works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. Acorn likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama.
This is a story we’ve largely missed. While Obama’s Acorn connection has not gone entirely unreported, its depth, extent, and significance have been poorly understood. Typically, media background pieces note that, on behalf of Acorn, Obama and a team of Chicago attorneys won a 1995 suit forcing the state of Illinois to implement the federal “motor-voter” bill. In fact, Obama’s Acorn connection is far more extensive. In the few stories where Obama’s role as an Acorn “leadership trainer” is noted, or his seats on the boards of foundations that may have supported Acorn are discussed, there is little follow-up. Even these more extensive reports miss many aspects of Obama’s ties to Acorn.
