Breaking news on Friday's Countdown. Senator Barack Obama's campaign has written a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey asking for an investigation into improper leaks from DOJ officials involving their ACORN investigation and whether or not people within the DOJ, perhaps with the help of the White House, are working in concert with the McCain campaign to further the ACORN myth for his political advantage.
Keith Olbermann talked with an Obama campaign attorney about this brilliant strategy by the campaign -- they are linking the ACORN/DOJ scandal with the U.S. Attorney firing scandal. If you will recall, several of the improperly fired attorneys were let go primarily because they wouldn't play along with Rove/GOP demands that they prosecute bogus voter fraud cases.
We're working on video and will post it as soon asap.

Sounds a bit like sarah calling for an investigation of herself
Which I'm sure she does quite often
Just listen to the buzzing.
)O(
The only BUZZING is that of flies gathering around the pile of shit that landed on the table after Nancy Pelosi took impeachment off of it.
1. ACORN registers minority voters
2. KKKarl Rove advises McCain to make a stink about voter fraud and ACORN (never mind that the case is about people making up names in order to be paid by ACORN and NOT about registering fake voters)
3. Obama is elected the first African-American President
4. The PIGS say that the elections are illegitimate because ACORN mobilized minority voters fraudulantly
5. ..... [you can guess the rest]
If these assholes want to go down that route they will destroy this country -- take a lesson from the ethnic wars in former yugoslavia morons
ACORN does NOT register "minority" voters. It registers, poor to low-income voters. These are the same kind of people who were disenfranchised during the 2000 Presidential election in Florida. The best way to respond to anything that Karl Rove or the Republican Party cooks up in this election is to emote the same calm, thoughtful demeanor of the man we're supporting for president. As a politician or as a man, he's one of the best role models I've seen in my lifetime.
Haha...an ethnic war? Who against who, dumbass?
This guy has got some nerve. He calls for an investigation of the republican's actions. How about we call for an investigation of his past.
Let's start with something simple. Where's his stupid Birth Certificate.
Obama supporters are cool-aid drinking morons!
http://www.anonymoushints.com
So you think Obama is a 1)Muslim 2)foreigner 3)terrorist?
Do you think even the stupidest Taliban radical on the Al Queda short bus would try to get a foreigner elected US president? You think they wouldn't just find a sympathetic person with a US birth certificate?
Next time, instead of just believing the emails you get from your fucktard friends while babbling about kool-aid, try researching. Obama's birth certificate was released by in June, and has been verified by multiple parties with extreme thoughness. I found this in about 10 seconds of googling: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/artic...
On second thought, you're probably not as stupid as you seem, more likely you're a shill trying to advance your agenda on the basis of ignorance and fear. Well, you'll get yours one day, my friend.
You sir are the tool, here's Obama's birth certificate...If you actually took time to do some research it's pretty easily available...But on a similar note: Where are John Mccain's medical files?? haha
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/20...
I've got about as much faith in Mukasey actually PROSECUTING anyone as I have in seeing a return on that $100,000 I sent to the son of the late Nigerian King Owa-Ta Sapaiam.
http://www.filthyrichmond.com
AMEN!
Did anyone else nearly spit their coffee when the attorney said Mukasey was brought in "to CLEAN UP DOJ?"
Now this is what a JUSTIFIED PREEMPTIVE STRIKE looks like. Congratulations to Obama for seeing this coming and knowing what to do. I guess all those years teaching Constitutional Law is paying off.
GOOD CALL!
that's why he laughed during the debate when McShameless accused ACORN - this was in his back pocket.
And yay for Ohio!
While at it, please provide video for Olbermann's response to McCain's roast. Hilarious.
"AHOOO HOOOO HOOOO HA HA HA HEEE HEEEE! Oh!
That hurts. That's a good one. HA HA HA HA."
- Mukasey's predicted response.
Don't hold your breath waiting for hard core right winger Michael Mukasey to respond boys.
but, at least it's ON RECORD. This has been my arguement about impeachment...we know we don't have enough votes, but it would have been on record.
Time to smack these criminals in the mouth, with the tire iron of justice.
These GOP pigs won't be happy until they start a civil war. I am happy to oblige them.
Republican's spend 24/7 stealing elections and trying to limit voting to millionaires with country club memberships; then they try to intimidate little people from exercising their right to vote.
And the MSM slurps their shit right up! Guillotine please!
I've spent the last few weeks being really creeped out by the violent comments coming from the dead-enders on the right. Please refrain from validating that tired old excuse that "both sides do it"; your language and attitude are neither constructive or pursuasive and will do harm in trying to change people's minds (which after all is what we really want).
how corrupt a democracy is america? and you want to export this shit to the rest of the world. banana republics have fuck all on america.
Keith we'll give you a pass for being a multi millionaire at the wrong time.
Please fix the video downloads!
it's on the MSNBC website -
If I were Mukasey, I'd nake it a priority to cooperate, because Obama is going to be th enext president, and the lawlessness and criminality that is rampant in the current despotic administration are going to be called to accounts, starting at the end of January. Mukasey is a fool if he thinks he will escape be held accountable for wrongs to which he is a party.
The Boy Fuhrer will pardon everyone.
That's still up in the air. He *might*. The problem is, if he does, that's as good as an admission that he's hiding something, and he can't pardon himself. He might decide to bet he can get away with it anyway, but if Obama wins the election then he might not.
After all, Obama would not be able to order the prosecution of the people Bush pardons, but he can still have Bush investigated, and, if anything is found, prosecuted for it.
Do we have an extradition treaty with Dubai (Cheney) and Paraguay (Bush)?
These clowns are gonna head for the hills. If we're lucky, Bush'll hide in some basement like his buddy Saddam, and we'll all have a good laugh when he does his perp walk.
McCain and Palin want to talk about Obama's supposedly Being Un-American. They want to Scare Americans some more, as if the Failing Economy they have created for us isn't scary enough.
But Bill Gates said back in 95 "anyone can publish" that will pay the IOU's and entitlements right?
As much as Obama pissed me off with his FISA vote, I am becoming more and more enamored of the man's sheer clear-sightedness, initiative, and strategic acumen. Go get em O!
If he acts like what I saw the other night he should have no problem turning over and voiding everything the Cons did the past 8 years and be as calm as a cucumber about it.
It's on like Donkey Kong.
No. really. funny as shit. frivolous claims on Obama. Good one.
HaHa hahaha!!!
I guess we're going to have to start importing democracy from other countries. There goes the GNP into the toilet.
I think we'll be forced from being consumers to getting our butts in gear and producing SOMETHING up and coming here like it or not.
Of course we could continue to coast on the War Economy. If, that is our former allies are willing to loan us the money.
Currently we outsource democracy. Taking freedoms away from Americans and sending them to third world nations. In time we will re-import freedoms from these countries. The problem is they do not have as good regulations. We will then to hire additional port and customs people to inspect incoming shipments for contamination such as socialism.
LOL - Perhaps by then the GOP will have developed a vaccination against the dreaded disease Democracy.
in 2007 income
And the off the record income? Offshore, foreign accounts, hidden holdings?
Spill it
I believe this to be relevant, and just as frightening. Gotta stop 'em people. Get out and vote.

Mikeeee - I just realized I posted the same thing just after you did. Check out this new campaign to censure her:

Apparently God also called this woman to run in 2006 just like he did for Bush:

This God person has a lot to answer for.
Did anyone catch Hardball tonight? Please watch this far-right nutball Michelle Bachmann trying exhume McCarthyism on MSNBC:
http://dumpbachmann.blogspot.com/2008/10/mcca...
As reported by Rachel Maddow, her opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg has raised thousands in just a couple of hours since her appearance.
The republicans, the Fed and Wall Street are continally breaking the laws, defined and set down by their PATRIOT ACT, against the U.S.A.
These charges are major charges. The disconnect of the depth of these crimes, and lack of persuites is BEYOND BELIEF.
Anybody wearing the wrong T-shirt or displaying the wrong protest sign, or even trying to hand out flowers, in the wrong place or wrong time, is dealt with more swiftly and beyond vigoriously.
This issue might be too complex for most Americans to understand, but this is the most brilliant legal move I have ever seen from a national campaign. I'm sure many here have thought, 'why didn't I think of that?'
Barry has more than just savvy volunteers. He has a kick-ass legal team.
He's preemptively attacking the fraud.
Brilliant.

Thanks site monitor, your work will be cut out for you in the next few days.
My fear is the right wing violence will be worse WHEN Obama becomes President. They will prey on organisations like ACORN to get at Obama.
I'm annnoyed that Palin is going on SNL is there political pressure to defuse all the good work Tina Fey has done? Same as they did with Amy Poehler. I'm still angry at McCain's appearance on Letterman. I bet he thought he wiped the floor with Dave.
Personally, I think without the continual mantra of "be afraid, be afraid" coming from the White House, people will feel like a cloud has been lifted. They'll feel incredibly normal again.
There certainly will be violence from the Right...but there always has been.
There was the Atlanta Olympic bombings. The Oklahoma City bombings, The Unibomber. The murder of Matthew Shepard. And the list goes on.
For as much as they point fingers at Ayers, ALL the recent terrorism that's killed has been from Conservative Fanatics.
We've been under Republican rule for so long, that it's easy to forget there wasn't always this level of antagonism, this rift. It's pure fabrication, because dividing people is the ONLY way they have a chance of winning an election. Without them setting the tone, many of those minds that have been misled and deceived will change.
But with Obama continuing the positive tone that he's had throughout the election, the vast majority of Americans will feel a relief, and I think this will calm everyone down.
Particularly after he switches up the FCC, breaks up the ClearChannel conglomerates and gets the Fairness Doctrine back in place. The Hannitys and Limbaughs will lose their reach.
I had never heard of ACORN prior to John McCain's having brought up this (phony) issue. Since ACORN will likely need the money now, I just made a donation to ACORN on behalf of John McCain and had acknowledgment sent to his campaign office.
Thanks John for identifying such a worthy cause!
they have floated the acorn meme starting back in 04...but it never went anywhere
the fix is in
according to kennedy in the recent rolling stone, the election is already stolen
the colorado ag has already purged 1 out of every 6 voters
there is a reason that mccain doesnt seem worried...the fix is in
The real reason Gore and Kerry lost was because they both lacked the balls to fight back when they were attacked. Gore didn't do a fucking thing when his running mate Lieberman stuck a knive in Gore's back over the absentee ballot issue and Kerry did NOTHING when the Swift boaters attacked him!But Obama's campaign isn't having of the GOP's bullshit and by doing their homework the democrats,for the first time,were ready for this nonsence as soon as it hit the news cycle and demanded that Makasey have the specisl prosecutor investigate this voter fraud BULLSHIT that the GOP brings up, right before every national election! To the GOP-IT AIN'T GONNA WORK THIS TIME YOU FUCKED UP PIECES OF SHIT!
A pathetic attempt by the Obama camp to glaze over the apparent voter registration fraud that is rampant across the country. Contrary to Obama's spokesperson, Bob Bauer, “ACORN has been used as a tool to try to steal the election."
There are many reports of false registration. Mickey Mouse, the starting lineup of the Kansas City Chiefs, Tony Romo, and many other examples.
There are also reports of absentee voter fraud. Obama comments are nothing more that attempts to try to keep Republicans and Independents home on election day. The polls are inflated and if you believe Obama has a huge lead, "I've got some swamp land in Florida for you!"
Republicans are going to steal this election. See:

An explanation for the differences between exit polls and vote results will be:
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/13/ob...
If the election is stolen, then it is not stolen by Palin. She is, on the other hand, easy to manipulate. Same for McCain.
I'm glad Obama is being proactive about this. I have no doubt the Republicans will again do everything possible to steal another election. It's my biggest fear. And if they can't steal it out right, they're setting the stage to challenge the results. Then, I suppose we can have the SCOTUS appoint our President as they did in 2000. We all have got to fight this. The Republicans are stealing our democracy.
THIS IS WHAT A CHICAGO DEMOCRAT DOES!!! We fight early and often, on the ground, through the air and with a defense that WILL STOP the republican offense. This is why I was so proud to have voted for Barack Obama for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES yesterday.
I pray that in 17 days, we get our country back.
republicans are all about destroying the fabric of the American government. They don't understand government and therefore they fear it or have allowed themselves to fear it because of their ignorance and stupidity of the republican voter. The people like mcsame and bush/rove are all about voter suppression. Why ? Because the number of people actually ignorant enough to be republicans is very small. Small in numbers to match their minds. Something like 75% of the people in the world are liberal or progressive but so many of these people don't understand government and therefore don't vote because they don't think it makes a difference.
If the would do it just a few times thay will see it does make a difference and things will change.
So fuck these republicans morons go out and vote.
Vote early and vote often if you can. If for no other reason then to piss off a republican. hahahahahahahahaha!
Too bad this all broke on a Friday night where it will get lost in the news cycle
I never thought I would hate another republican more than I hate Bush.
I hate J. McCain!
I also am not very computer savy so I don't know how to get it out beyond this if it is a good one. what if everyone who is challenged and asked to place a provisional ballot where to say to the challenger. I AM A LEGAL VOTER & I WANT YOUR NAME & IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH PROOF THAT MY PROVISIONAL BALLOT WAS COUNTED I WILL SUE YOU! YOU! NOT THE RNC ! YOU FOR TAKING AWAY MY RIGHT TO VOTE! do you think this might deter the challengers? in fact what if the Obama campaign was to announce that lawyers will take on the individual challengers and demand proof that all provisional ballots are counted unless proven the person has no right to vote, it would be important that they give the statistics about how very few people have been proven to vote fraudulently. In fact what if Obama where to say in order to insure that everyone have their right to vote that we suggest the provisional ballot process is backwards. since so few people have been proven to vote fraudulently not nearly enough to swing elections, people should be allowed to vote, their names taken down and if their vote is removed their name published in the paper and the proof that they voted fraudulently and prosecution should begin on them.
Good on Obama for calling them out on this nonsense.
I want to ask everyone who happens to read this comment... should exit polling be significantly different from official record on votes cast, please raise an uproar and don't let up until it is officially investigated.
This election is crucial for all of us, American and non American alike.
Get out there and vote Obama. And if they steal if from him, fight like mad.
Don't give up as easily as Gore did, because there may not be a "next time" -- by then what's left of the mechanisms of democracy may be irreparably corrupted.
McGranpa accuses ACORN directly and Obama indirectly of undermining and destroying 'the fabric of democracy'. His party has been doing that for eight years. I think everyone knew this election was going to get dirty. The Republics, especially the republic neocons are terrified shitless. Their reputation and credibility has been destroyed. The party will most likely loose not only the presidency, but even more seats in both the Senate and Congress. Desperation pure and simple. I am no big Obama fan, but I'm glad that he is not taking bullshit laying down like Kerry did in '04.
I always thought in past elections voting machines had been rigged/tampered with. It's just now in recent elections been challenged.
The actions of McCain are so disgusting. These tactics won't stop if Obama gets into office. There is too much hatred. I hope he lives through it and I hope he and his family survive it.
He seems to be fighting the battles alone. I don't hear much from Biden in his defense. what he does say seems weak. I think he's busy maintaining his friendships with the Clintons and the McCains. Based on Bill Clinton's conduct on TV shows Bill was a poor representation of a democrat and obviously would love for Obama to lose. Hilary does appear to be doing her part for the party.
IT'S A VERY VERY LONELY JOB AT THE TOP BARACK.
Allen Weh is and has been a big ugly wart on the butt of decent people in NM for far to long. His creed consist of me,me,me,more,more,more and fuck everyone else. One need not go far to gather tales of his hate-mongering and his riding rough shod over everyone he has interacted with, snotty and hatefull, are two of his good traits. He does have at least one person on his side, and that is our insane clown sheriff, Darren White who quit his state job out of protest, because ex governor Johnsons said the war on drugs was causing more harm than good. White was the last one on board the drug war gravy train and has used any and all dirty methods to keep up the big "reefer maddness" propaganda,ie take a puff and immediately start raping, plundering and laughing insanely. To Clown-D it is just a vehicle, ob-it a worn out one, to the power and money he dreams of. Was it pot smokers who caught you and Heather Wilson buying votes in the primarys? http://s138.photobucket.com/albums/q254/teria... *I ask you who is fuckng nuts here* warning do not watch the whole thing it will make you ill.

I'm waiting to hear from the break-in reported Friday in Boston's ACORN office in which computers were stolen and files taken. Scary! Here's one AP account:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusett...
This certainly makes the case against Obama much stronger. I would say at this point this article is correct, Obama will likely end up being prosecuted over this. We'll see if the DOJ indicts Obama as a result of his actions - it's good to see the truth FINALLY coming out
I hope Obama wins, and I hope he doesn't disappoint us.
Will this get equal airtime with all the ACORN accusations the Reps are throwing around? I doubt it.
