Aside from the video's comments, the text cards lack citations I do agree he needs to answer these clearly. As obama's connections to others are very legitimate questions in an election cycle. (why ayer's wasn't hung is beyond me). Just as William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who John McCain has named to head his presidential transition team needs to disclose his lobbying actions on behalf of Saddam Hussain's government and former senator's Gramm's (McCain's economic advisor and personal friend) relationship with wall street and the deregulation of wall street. Specifically McCain and Gramm's part in repealing the
Glass-Steagall Act - which, by the way, is what is ultimately responsible for allowing our banking system to implode.
The final bit of the video plays as a conspiracy theory. The part about acorn bullying banks on obama's behalf. Really? seriously? Come on now. Why would banks put up for 2 seconds with an organization whose greatest power is annoying the hell out of registered voters and the homeless? They'd call the police and their own security and have them thrown off in minutes.
And as others have said prior, Voter Registration Fraud is different from Voting Fraud.
The end result of this lipstick scandal will be a mass purge of the voter registrations. Sounds very jim-crowish to me.

by the way, I do recommend tracking the election with

Back to acorn. This organization is fundamentally flawed. They pay per registration. Hell, gimmie forms, a scanner, a wordprocessor and a phonebook database and everyone will be registered to vote for these guys:

See, that's the problem with acorn. It's like giving a kid money to slap business flyers on windshields. What's to stop the kid from chucking the flyers in the garbage and collecting the money a few hours later? nothing. The good thing about voter registration fraud is that imaginary people don't show up to vote.
It also explains why the democrats register massive numbers of people each election and still wnd up being a few hundred short of winning. (looking at your Mr. Gore )
As for socialism. Not all socialism is bad. Public Education, Dept of Transportation and Social Security are a few examples of socialism are work. Without public education, we end up with a nation of dumbasses and morons.... Without roads, we can't move freely (a core unstated freedom of america. If you don't like where you are at, you are free to go somewhere else). Without social security, we end up seeing our grandparents work at walmart along side the morons from our crippled and partially dismanted public education system.
And mind you social security under John Mccain would end up in wallstreet. The same people that did a wonderful job with our home mortgages last week and a terrific job with our retirement savings.
