Grab your pitchforks!

WASHINGTON — An ACORN community organizer received a death threat and the liberal activist group's Boston and Seattle offices were vandalized Thursday, reflecting mounting tensions over its role in registering 1.3 million mostly poor and minority Americans to vote next month.



Attorneys for the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now were notifying the FBI and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division of the incidents, said Brian Kettenring, a Florida-based spokesman for the group.
Republicans, including presidential candidate John McCain, have verbally attacked the group repeatedly in recent days, alleging a widespread vote-fraud scheme, although they've provided little proof. It was disclosed Thursday that the FBI is examining whether thousands of fraudulent voter-registration applications submitted by some ACORN workers were part of a systematic effort or isolated incidents.



Kettenring said that a senior ACORN staffer in Cleveland, after appearing on television this week, got an e-mail that said she "is going to have her life ended."


A female staffer in Providence, R.I., got a threatening call from someone who said words to the effect of "We know you get off work at 9," then uttered racial epithets, he said.

McCain and Palin are irresponsible and are proving they dont deserve to lead.

The same claims were made before the last election aboubt ACORN by the right and none of it turned out to be true after massive intvestigations.

Wasting tax payer dollars and FBI time.

ACORN is one of the reasons Bush fired the AG's... because they wouldn't file fraudulent cases against them.

But it is irresponsible. Revving up the mob is inexcusable.

Just my opinion, no need to get snippy.
