ACORN deluged with racist messages, death threats (NSFW)

During the final debate, John McCain accused ACORN of possibly destroying the fabric of our democracy. As night follows day, the nation's largest grassroots community activist group has been deluged with vile, racially charged voice mails and emails.

Right Wing Watch has posted audio of two threatening voice mail messages. Transcripts follow below the fold. These are not safe for work, folks. The clips and email headers have been edited only to remove personally identifying information, like the name of the Cleveland-based ACORN staffer who "is going to have her life ended," according to one email.

“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.”

And...

"You liberal idiots. Dumb shits. Welfare bums. You guys just fucking come to our country, consume every natural resource there is, and make a lot of babies. That's all you guys do. And then suck up the welfare and expect everyone else to pay for your hospital bills for your kids. I just say let your kids die. That's the best move. Just let your children die. Forget about paying for hospital bills for them. I'm not gonna do it. You guys are lowlifes. And I hope you all die."

Meanwhile, John McCain is indignantly defending his barrage of robocalls accusing Obama of being involved with a domestic terrorist who bombed the Pentagon. Ironically, McCain hired the same firm that smeared him in the South Carolina primary to run the anti-Obama calls.

Even the Salt Lake City Tribune has endorsed Obama.

I understand their frustration.After being warned about all of Obamas criminal and racist associations,people continue to praise him.He will destroy America as we know it,but the dems do not care.All they want is something from the government.Look at what the people in New Oreleans got.You want some of it?Fools!

Essentially, the McCain/GOP campaign's message is: black, black, black, terrorist, terrorist, terrorist.

I wonder if this country is bigoted and fearful enough to fall for it.

Obama's up by 5. My guess is that the answer is no.

you understand their frustration, pennyleft? really? please seek help now! you are a sick, sick individual. this isn't frustration they're venting, this is rabid racist rage, an illness deep-rooted in too many americans. senator obama has explained his connection with ayers time and again. yet, the truth isn't good enough for you bigots, is it? why don't you ask mccain about g. gordon liddy, huh? he evaded david letterman when asked about it, yet where is your righteous indignation about that? huh? guess you save your understanding for the cretins who threaten (oh, i mean show their 'frustration')for supporters of the half-african american candidates, right?
and new orleans? what the f does that have to do with anything?
of course, re-reading your comment, i realized how incoherent you are - just like every other wingnut. it's truly a waste of time to attempt to enlighten the likes of you. go ahead, keep believing the smears against the best candidate we've had in a lifetime...keep eating up all the lies from the right. keep dreaming of the day you'll be part of that great 5%, and the day your monetary wealth will trickle down to the losers. you bought the lie of capitalism hook, line, and sinker. you bought the hideous lie that helping the less fortunate americans is socialist, while the evil fat cat assholes get bailed out...and the government buys up mortgages, nationalizes banks, 'cos THAT isn't socialism at all. nah. it's only socialism if poor people get help for the basics in life, huh?
it will never cease to amaze me that ignorant jerks like you exist, while the rich white bastards like mccain laugh all the way to the bank...and to one of their multiple homes.

We ain't seen nothing yet, folks.
Faux News is running non-stop footage of African-Americans dancing in the streets at Obama rallies... and they will show a lot more of this on & after Election Day if Obama wins.
On that day, ACORN will cease to be a scandal, and will instead become the fulcrum for months of legal challenges (if the election is close)... and four years of seditious conduct, even if it's a landslide.

Their strategy is the same one employed by the anti-choice movement when they distributed clinic workers' personal info, and by hundreds of right-wingnut bloggers who post their opponents' addresses on the Web: they are encouraging Lone Wolf terrorism. They know that, among their followers, are some dangerously insane & violent people; they are counting on those people to act, and then they will disavow their actions... just like they did with the abortion clinic bomber(s).
They would disavow these people threatening ACORN too, except that they don't need to bother.

I second that. pennylittle get some help. You are deeply mentally ill.

If ACORN members come up and attack you, you have the right to defend yourself. This includes taking their life if they attack you and you believe your life is at risk.

So what is the deal with all these "Even the Salt Lake Tribune supports Obama" stuff? IT IS A LIBERAL NEWSPAPER! Jesus, are people that stupid?

You liberals. Come on over and try to break into my house to grab some of my wealth and you'll be met with some 5.56 rounds to the chest.

I'm leaving the previous comment up because I want people to realize what we're up against. I also send a copy of the threatening comment, and all identifying information, to the FBI.

Lindsay, you have thousands or more friends, plus the full force of Law, behind you on this. If this creep bothers you again, send IT over to my place.

It is so disappointing that there are people out there like the mope above who have make such idiotic statements. Disappointing, but unfortunately, not shocking.

Good

IP Address, ISP, time, Browser, Operating System, possibly the hometown, all easy as pie to get, and very useful.

The recession is prompting a lot of 'suicide by cop,' i.e., pointing your popgun at a massed SWAT team or the like. An Obama administration will no doubt result in a lot more of that among guys whose major life achievement is being white. It's just natural selection in action.
