ACORN Offices Get Racist, Violent Threats After McCain Claims

RightWingWatch:

It's bad enough that the employees of ACORN have had to endure days of baseless and outlandish attacks by John McCain and the RNC. But after McCain outrageously claimed before a national audience on Wednesday night that ACORN was "maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy," the group came under attack, literally. In the following days, ACORN's Boston and Seattle offices were vandalized and at least one employee received a death threat.

And for nearly two weeks, ACORN offices across the nation have been subjected to an onslaught of racist and threatening voicemails and emails. We have secured copies of some of the most disturbing and offensive messages and have reproduced them below in order to show the very real consequences of the Right Wing's overheated and misplaced "voter fraud" rhetoric.

But Rep. John Lewis "owes McCain an apology"..­..

McCain and his strategists should be arrested for "hate crimes"!!!

Lets not forget that less than one week ago McCain's Sacremento campaign headquarters was running an ad on their website calling for Obama to be "waterboar­ded"...

Why haven't these people been arrested yet??!

Is there a way to forward these calls to mccain/palin campaign offices so they can hear what they started?

This is the face of the Republican Party. Witch hunters and destroyers of all things not white. R.I.P.

Obam-Biden 2008 & 20012

sherbug, i agree with everything you said, except the r i p part, i think the repugs should rest in torment for what they have done to this country, and the world.

[kewps]

I could go for 20012-if we were only able!

McCain thanks for putting Country First. You are an evil and destructive man and so i Palin.

McCain you are erratic, you suffer possibly from mental health issues, including passive/aggression, manic depression, possible paranoid schizophrenia, etc

You are entirely responsible for this situation developing in the way that is has.

You should be made to go on national television and repute everything you have saId about ACORN, especially since you allegations were un-founded.

YOU, MCCain HAVE DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY by stating false information.

OBAMA-BIDEN

This is the type of dishonorable campaign McCain is running. But I have a newsflash for the hate mongering tree hanging cowards who posted racial epithets on that site. This isn't the south, or the 60's. You're nothing but a coward with a keyboard. Get a life!

I imagine John McCain and right wing radio will say these people are exercising their Constitutional rights just like at the Boston Tea Party. But with violence and bigotry and death threats thrown in for good measure along with the tea. And any sense of dignity.

John McCain, a man who tells so many lies that even his tongue is trying to leave the bad taste in his
mouth.

Those are some ugly messages. Is this 1965?

More like 55 with the new Bachmannism hunt for liberal socialists.
