Received this email from GOPUSA
Basically, it asking for donations, so edited that part out.
But, if you read the following, they are telling their non-thinking
followers that OWS is being run by ACORN.

Is there any truth to this?
Or are they just blowing smoke where the sun don't shine.

ACORN Warming Up to Defend Community Organizer in Chief
Monday, October 31, 2011 12:00 PM
From: "GOPUSA" <eagle@gopusamedia.com>

Fellow Patriot,

They say if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, then it's a duck. The same holds true for ACORN, the disgraced community organizing group responsible for registering untold numbers of Disney characters to vote in the 2008 election.

Thought to be dismantled after the 2010 elections when even many Democrats were disgusted by the organization's lengthy resume of scandals, ACORN has reared its ugly head again. Major news sources like Fox News have reported that ACORN operatives are intrinsically connected to the Occupy Wall Street movement, going door-to-door seeking donations for bogus organizations then funneling the proceeds to the Occupy effort.

If it's organized by former ACORN staffers and it's using the ACORN business model, then it's ACORN.

Fraud is what ACORN does best, and I have no doubt their support of the Occupy Wall Street movement is a warm-up for the 2012 elections. So what are we going to do about it? Fight back, of course! That's why I founded True the Vote, an organization dedicated to restoring integrity to our election processes by training thousands of citizens to volunteer as poll watchers in all 50 states.

We both know that just a few months from now ACORN's real focus will be what is always has been: subverting our electoral process, overwhelming county offices with fraudulent voter registration applications, and then mobilizing those illegitimate voters on election day. To them, the ends justify any means necessary to assure the continued reign of the Community Organizer in Chief, Barack Obama.

Make no mistake about it, ACORN is playing to win. But this time, True the Vote is too. We urgently need your help to cover the costs of our training programs before primary season begins. That's why I'm asking you to follow this link right now to make the most generous contribution you can afford to True the Vote.

Don't look back two years from now and wonder why ACORN got away with election fraud again. Stand with True the Vote today and support our efforts to restore the integrity of America's election.

Sincerely,

Catherine Engelbrecht
President and Founder, True the Vote

P.S. ACORN is using the Occupy Wall Street movement to practice their fraudulent activities ahead of the 2012 elections. They're determined to deliver a second term to the Community Organizer in Chief, but this time they'll have to get past True the Vote first. Will you stand with True the Vote to restore the integrity of our elections by helping us train thousands of volunteer poll monitors in every state? Please follow this link right away to make a contribution of $25, $50, $100, $250 or more to True the Vote.

5. Obviously it is, ...
I'm not at the OWS (New York) to verify its accuracy.
I don't believe it's true, but I'd like some confirmation
either way.

10. The bogus 'Acorn' connection came from a Fox News report
The report provided no evidence, attributing the claims only to "sources say." No source was identified, and there wasn't a shred of anything to support the assertions.

15. LMFAO.. so fucking predictable..
I posted yesterday about the escalation in right wing talking points about OWS.

Talked about how they went from calling them hippies in the first week to associating them with Hitler and Child Molesters this week. I asked what could possiblt come next and some clever DU'er said "Watch tomorrow they'll all be ACORN workers... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
