Bill O’Reilly Asks If ACORN Voter Fraud Got Al Franken Elected

video
» 13 comments

Picture 7Last night Bill O’Relly surmised that voter fraud perpetuated by ACORN may have been the reason why Al Franken was elected US Senator from Minnesota. An interview with guest Laura Ingraham started with O’Reilly admitting that “(he) despises Al Franken” because he’s a “dishonest man.” After raising the specter of Franken’s fraudulent election, O’Reilly quickly claimed it was unfair to make that claim, just ask the question.

    I guess Bill doesn’t know the difference between voter fraud and voter REGISTRATION fraud. There’s a lot of evidence that ACORN workers turned in intentionally faulty voter registrations, but there hasn’t been a single shred of evidence that shows those faulty ACORN ballots translated into the ballot box.

    Err, I meant faulty “ACORN voter registrations” translated into the ballot box.

    This video is a prime example of where O’Reilly self-proclaimed “independence” and “no spin” is just hallow words. The general assumption here is what he’s saying – “well, there’s no evidence of this” – but says it in a non-complicit tongue-in-cheeck way all while bringing out a guests who’s arguing for it. This whole network is turning into Beck News.

    This what they do at Fox News,’WE DON’T HAVE THE FACTS JUST ASKING” …”SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING”…”OUR VIEWERS WANT TO KNOW”…WTF, happened to WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE AN HOW???? Fox is an Arm of the Republican Party an should be labeled as such!!!!

    M… in response to the whole “voter fraud” versus “registration fraud” thing… what’s the point?

    When people such as yourself try to diminish ACORN’s critics by saying, “there’s a difference,” and “no evidence it translated blah-blah-blah,” what’s the point? Not the point of correcting the record… but the point of “registration fraud,” if it doesn’t translate? Why do it, why commit fraud on that level, if it’s meaningless? And why would ACORN, which has known about this problem for many elections, not do anything about it?

    There’s the marching liberals who don’t care that Franken stole the election. Nor do they care about the widespread corruption of Acorn. Of course the MSM could have cared less that Franken was stealing this election. Where where they? Why weren’t they challenging all the b.s. that went on there? Why aren’t they out there investigating Acorn as well? Because they know Acorn was set up just to help Democrats.

    This country is in a mess and it is quite evident that Kid Mao and his merry band of Marxists are in way over there heads on running a country. Now we all know what the liberal left wants……socialism.. Next on the list is Marxism. Don’t bet on it though. Next elections will be an eye opener. Just watch! It is already happening!

    Well, remember Captain… we only hear stories of “Voter Fraud” and “Voter Intimidation” BEFORE an election, and after an election IF a Republican wins. If the Democrat wins, those stories immediately go away.

    If anyone don’t believe me on that fact, do a little research into those stories, and it’s exactly what you’ll find. OR, wait until next election, count the “voter fraud” stories BEFORE the election, and then again AFTER the election depending who wins. It’s all very transparent.

    And of course the best example is where has the media been for the New Black Panther’s Party and their voter intimidation case… which was (for unknown reasons) thrown out of court by Eric Holder’s crew. Where have the stories been talking about how the Government was WINNING the case, and then dropped it for reasons which are now being investigated? It’s all partisan blah-blah… as expected.

    Tater Salad you sound stupid like Billo the Clown. Maybe Franken stole the election like George Bush stole the Presidency.

  • Lawyer822

    You right wingers are all lunatics… Enough with the Socialism and Marxism crap. Stop all the fear mongering. No one believes your rhetoric just the right lucantics like yourselves.

  • Lawyer822

    If Acorn is clear who will you blame then?

  • CaptainAmerica

    Great point ImNot Blue! Here’s an excellent article from John Fund about the Black Panthers intimidating voters and Obamas AG throwing out the case:

    Mr. Bull says he heard one yell “You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker!”

    Can you imagine how the MSM would have reacted if it were whites keeping blacks from voting with sticks and used the N word to them??!

    No proof ACORN got Franken elected, but he’s still a scumbag
