So Many Republican Hypocrites, So Little Time

Republican National Committee

Welcome back to the BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week.

Behind every horrible campaign is a horrible national political party, and that is surely the case with the Republican National Committee.

Over the past few weeks, BuzzFlash has received a flurry of daily news releases from the RNC claiming that the national community organizing group known as ACORN is engaged in rampant voter registration fraud.

Around the nation, the RNC has carried on in the tradition of what Karl Rove tried to accomplish with ProsecutorGate at the DOJ: create the perception of massive voter fraud among minorities and the poor in order to justify the wholesale challenging of non-Republican voters at the polls.

There's only one problem with this unjustified tactic: the RNC tried it in 2004 and not one person from ACORN was ever convicted anywhere in the United States of engaging in voter fraud, not one! (The Republicans also tried to use ACORN in the mid-term elections of 2006 to justify disenfranchising voters.)

The RNC message points turning ACORN into sort of a community organizing version of Willie Horton (of course, it's about race) are even turning up among grossly stupid bigots attending the Palin and McCain lynch mob rallies. Just how do people who think Obama is a terrorist happen to know about a community organizing group? Because the RNC is morphing both Obama and ACORN into racist "examples" of people who are "un-American."

Of course, the last report of voting fraud that we heard of was of Ann Coulter committing a potential felony in regards to how she cast her ballot in Florida in 2006. But you won't hear the RNC talking about that. They are too busy stepping on acorns and grinding them into the sidewalk with their boot heels.

The RNC war on ACORN is an attack on the right of all Americans -- regardless of economic income, race, or ethnicity -- to vote. But, of course, they are doing that in the name of "fair voting."

How much more hypocritical can you get than that?

Oh, considering that we are talking about Republicans, just wait until tomorrow and they will exceed expectations when it comes to hypocrisy.

Remember our motto: So many Republican hypocrites, so little time.

Catch up with you soon.
