ACORN Gets Threatening Messages

By Ed Brayton

As the GOP ramps up their false accusations against ACORN - especially John McCain himself, who proved just how utterly dishonest he is with his claim that ACORN was "destroying the fabric of democracy" - it's no surprise that the organization is now receiving vile and threatening emails and phone calls from those who take their accusations seriously. Rightwingwatch has the audio and email texts. Like this charming message:

"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."
