Obama addresses "voter intimidation," but not vote fraud

Cal Skinner directed this my way, thanks!

From Illini Pundit:

It’s amazing that any Illinois Senator can introduce legislation "to protect Americans from using tactics that intimidate voters" (I copied that directly from his website, so blame the odd phrasing on his staff. "To protect Americans from using tactics?") without uttering a peep about the numerous convictions of Illinois Democratic Party workers who have been convicted of actual election fraud over the past few years.

I realize that Illinois Democrats have to look the other way about voter fraud because the illegal votes help them and their allies. But to somehow use legislation like this to pretend to be concerned about voter fraud while benefitting from the thousands of illegal votes purchased by the Democratic Party in Chicago, East St. Louis and elsewhere is the height of hypocrisy. And to pretend that any of the stuff outlawed by his proposed legislation is the equivalent of the traditional voter fraud activities of Illinois Democrats is just laughable.

As for East St. Louis, votes were being purchased for $10 a head a year ago. $10 a head last year.

Perhaps someone ought to stuff this Hugh Hewitt book in Barack's Christmas stocking, If It's Not Close, They Can't Cheat
