People for the American Way and John Amato at Crooks and Liars covered this, but I have to state my opinion. ACORN offices has come under attack since the voter fraud non-story. Following the repeated stories on Fox News, Conservative talk radio, and John McCain himself, ACORN has had two offices vandalized. In addition, they have received racial and hateful e-mails and voicemails regarding their group, and Barack Obama. Right Wing Watch has the audio of two voicemails here . Reading the content of this e-mail (below) by a woman proves that no matter how many of us that evolved out of the hateful era of our country, far too many have not.
“Hi, I was just calling to let you all know that Barack Obama needs to get hung. He's a fucking nigger, and he's a piece of shit. You guys are fraudulent, and you need to go to hell. All the niggers on oak trees. They're gonna get all hung honeys, they're gonna get assassinated, they're gonna get killed.”
I certainly hope that come Nov. 4th, the minorities in our country, and I am referring to the racists, see what diversity really looks like. I hope they recognize the hard work of ethnically mixed communities took years of effort that we pride ourselves on. Turning back the clock on what has been accomplished in America has been ignited by the right-wing in our country, and unfortunately John McCain calls them his "base". I hate to point that out, but the fuel thrown on the fire has stoked behavior that many believed we had turned the page on.
