UPDATE: Snipped from HuffingtonPost.com.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you long ago. A woman just got punched in the face by a man that was “ranting about ACORN.” Wow, just wow!

More vitriol spilling over from McCain’s fear mongering rhetoric. Why McCain is not being held partially accountable for the verbal assaults and threats of harm to Obama, and his real or imagined associates is beyond me. I may have a biased perspective, but I don’t think the alleged abuse that McCain takes from the left is anything like this coming from the right.

ACORN, “the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is a community-based organization that advocates for low- and moderate-income families by working on neighborhood safety, health care and other social issues,” [1] is now receiving all kinds of threats and violent rhetoric coming from extreme right wing citizens. This is from the alleged voter fraud voter registration fraud that has come to light. If you are in the dark about this, it is from young people trying to make money by signing up as many people as possible, so they fake a registration for Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny. They have also registered dead people as well. What the right-wing party is afraid of is how these fictitious characters (or dead people) are going to vote for Obama.

The ironic thing about it is we all know who the dead people are voting for … that’s right McCain! Ha, ha. Anyways, here is a small portion of the article:

It’s bad enough that the employees of ACORN have had to endure days of baseless and outlandish attacks by John McCain and the RNC. But after McCain outrageously claimed before a national audience on Wednesday night that ACORN was “maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy,” the group came under attack, literally. In the following days, ACORN’s Boston and Seattle offices were vandalized and at least one employee received a death threat.

And for nearly two weeks, ACORN offices across the nation have been subjected to an onslaught of racist and threatening voicemails and emails. We have secured copies of some of the most disturbing and offensive messages and have reproduced them below in order to show the very real consequences of the Right Wing’s overheated and misplaced “voter fraud” rhetoric.

Warning: the emails and voicemails below are highly explicit and have only been edited to remove personally identifying information. Please also note that, where relevant, the proper authorities have been notified.

This is now the third time I am writing about this dangerous rhetoric, please see here and here for more information.
