I'm guessing you didn't read any of the article.
I read the article..typical far right kind of stuff. Lots of opinion without real facts to back it up. However I am sure the far right loves the article and wants to spread it around.
It really is no different that the far left saying when McCain was captured he started to sing like a bird and it put our troops in danger...or that he made 32 tapes of propaganda for the Vietnamese government.

Looking at the picture you posted and any Dem would have the same ties as Moveon.org really isn't to fond of the republicans.

Can you refute the connections? Do you believe them false, even with all the facts we do know of obama. He was on The Woods, Anneberg Boards. He was the lawyer for ACORN and also conducted seminars on voting issues.

Have you even bothered to find out anything about his life and past, other than what he claims?
I don't refute the connections. Lots of very good people and committed citizens have worked for ACORN. The problem is that you've been had. You've relied on the most egregiously ridiculous claims about ACORN and Obama, simply by virtue of the fact that he worked with/for them. Should all union organizers be labeled marxist/communist because a some union shops/bosses are corrupt? As for the "Anneberg Boards," your paranoia is running wild again.

There's a reason for the "reactionary" in "reactionary right wing." People such as you, as well as others on this board, who post ravings about Obama's supposed "marxist" and "communist" connections, are neither "conservatives" nor "Republicans." You perfectly exemplify the "reactionary right wing": that segment of the population who is largely uneducated and therefore devoid of any critical thinking skills, largely racist, usually on the religious right, gets most of their information from profoundly biased media sources, and vote--time and again--for the people who actually couldn't care less about you. You managed to vote TWICE for G.W. Bush, despite the fact that he was driving this nation into the ground, because all his nonsensical Christian/mom-and-apple-pie-America/the-terrorists-are-gonna-get-us rhetoric hit you right where you live: on an island of baseless fears (about Muslims, about black people, about immigrants, about the "Godless," etc.). And here you are again: ready to vote for another thoroughly ethically and morally bankrupt human being, because he says all the right things to pull your fearful little strings. And like good little soldiers, you go running off in a panic to dig up endless crap, from equally paranoid blogs and other dubious sources, to post, in your panic that a black President will bring Armageddon upon the world. You provide the forum with something of a theatre of the absurd--except it's kind of sad to watch you.

Though I don't agree with all the assumptions, this is a very good post. Thank you.

Sanrene does John Mccains association with organized crime bother you? He is closely tied to crime families.
It bothers me more that the two of them are identical Hence Im going third Party. I want someone that wants America to be a democracy. this Socialism direction oft he 2 parties is not my idea for this country.

Let me clarify: I do not think that every uneducated person is a right-wing crazy. Nor do I think that every educated person is capable of critical thinking. In general, however, uneducated people tend to be very susceptible to fear-baiting--something Bush, McCain, et.al. are very good at. Educated people who vote for clowns like this just tend to be--in general--greedy, and basically don't care about anything other than retaining their own power.

In general.

Obama supporters - does this stuff bother you in the least?
Sanrene--you do great research, which I appreciate--however it seems futile to waste it on brick walls that it can never penetrate. I wish it were that simple--that people could see, and understand what is so clear to many. Unfortunately, people see what they wish to see, even though it doesn't include them, as a benefactor. They hope they are part of the "inner circle' that is being spoken to. Of course, it doesn't work that way--we are usually adoring fans, on the outskirts of the circle, hopeing to be included. Unfortunately, we are never recognized, so we pathetically cling on, looking for a few crumbs, that haphazardly may blow our way. It is so hard to convince adoring fans of the fallibility of their idol. I have given up on this goal. Let the chips fall, where they may. There comes a time when nothing teaches better than a bad--or good-experience. I applaud your efforts at trying to give sight to the blind. I wish I had your patience, and optomistic out-look. Hang in there, you are appreciated.

They have caught time and again perpetrating voter fraud, their employees have gone to jail, are under indictment, are under investigation. That is one aspect of obama's "organizing" days.

Since most of the MSM refuses to investigate, all we can do is spread it around.
