An acquaintance of mine is one of the "800 lawyers" working for the Obama campaign, monitoring polling places here in Florida - to assure "fairness". They are to observe any instances of voters (presumably those voting for Obama) being "intimidated" when trying to vote. What the lawyers are to do if they observe such intimidation is unclear - but I have a pretty good idea.
If anyone who wants to vote for Obama is challenged because of questionable registration, the "Obama lawyer" will intervene to threaten the poll-worker with a lawsuit, or some other form of coercion. Thus the Obama campaign will facilitate voting by all those bogus registrations fabricated by ACORN - which has teamed up with MSNBC to make sure the election is "fair". If, as ACORN does, you define "fair" as allowing anyone who wants to vote for Obama do so regardless of qualification.
Anyone familiar with Tom Wolfe's essay Mau Mauing the Flak-catcher will recognize the technique. The "Obama lawyers" will do the mau mauing of the poll-workers who attempt to keep the ineligible from voting - all in view of the MSNBC cameras to heighten the coercion.
Picture the septugenarian polling volunteer who questions the homeless derelict attempting to vote with no ID. An Obama lawyer, trailing an MSNBC camera crew, will confront the poll-worker.
Sources tell me there is no way to detect, or prevent, ACORN from driving busloads of people who have been registered under multiple fictitious names from county to county, where they will vote in each under a different name. MSNBC, and the "Obama lawyers" will be there to assure no interference with the admonition of the late Chicago mayor 'Boss' Richard Daley to "vote early and vote often".
I questioned an Obama supporter about some of the chicanery employed by ACORN, and whether she was concerned the election might be stolen for Obama. She had no concern if it was stolen - since the Republicans stole the 2000 election, this would just be the Democrats' chance to get even. That mentality permeates Obama supporters I've met. Nor do they see anything wrong with intimidating poll workers who try to do their jobs.
There never was a verified instance of anyone being "intimidated" out of voting in the 2000 election. It's a Democrat urban myth they are now using to justify using lawyers and television cameras to mau-mau poll-workers who dare question the legitimacy of any Obama voter - however dubious their qualifications.
