Default NAACP buying votes with crack.

Full Story

(CNN) -- Ohio authorities say a man was charged Monday with filling out more than 100 fictitious voter registration forms, some in names such as Disney character Mary Poppins and pop singer Michael Jackson.

Chad Staton, 22, of Defiance County in northwestern Ohio, was to receive money for each registration form he could persuade potential voters to fill out, said Sheriff David Westrick.

-------------

Westrick said the Toledo woman, Georgianne Pitts, 41, told officers she was recruited by Thaddeus Jackson II of Cleveland to obtain voter registrations. He said a business card provided by Pitts indicated that Jackson is the assistant Ohio director of the NAACP National Voter Fund.

-------------

Westrick said Pitts admitted paying Staton crack cocaine for the registrations in lieu of money.


Such a fine group, the NAACP.

Instead of focusing in on a "exception" why not focus on the "rule", i.e. the deliberate disenfranchisement of American voters by the RNC.

If this were a democratic leader, I would be calling for their resignation and arrest. But the Republicans think it's just fine. They would rather focus on non-important issues and blame it on the NAACP.

For the RNC, it's fine to break the law and operate a communist agenda.

Mainly because:

A) I doubt it's as exceptional as you believe.

B) Republican shanannigans aren't the focus of the thread. The NAACP plying potential voters with crack is.

Default Its an equal rights thing

perhaps that poor almost disenfranchised voter just can't think straight without his crack. Now it wouldn't be fair for such a person to be deprived of the right to choose our next president, right?

Default Exactly!

What with all the race-hustling and felon-supporting they do, trading crack for votes might make them look bad...

Default It's the NAACP's answer to...

... get out the vote programs like those of MTV. It sure gives new meaning to the term "Rock the Vote" now doesn't it?

(sorry, I couldn't help myself)

In case you missed it....the topic of this thread is "NAACP Buying Votes with Crack." I notice that you didn't have a thing to say about it either.

Maybe Robert Downey, Jr and Bush's niece will make an appearance.
