Have you ever wondered why in all the thousands of phony voter registrations that ACORN canvassers turned in across the country, NONE were Republican?

You’re likely thinking, “Well, that’s a no-brainer. ACORN wasn’t interested in fabricating fraudulent Republican voter registrations.”

Ah, but that’s only a part of it.

ACORN reportedly was not interested in submitting ANY legitimate Republican voter registrations, either.

*Cue for ominous organ music*

Shocking exposé from one of my favorite conservative bloggers, Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs, has a yank-the-lid-off-corruption post at Big Government, which is also posted in a longer version on her website. Here’s a part of it… be sure to read it in its entirety.

Pamela Geller, Big Government: ACORN Throws Out Republican Registrations:

ACORN wants people to register to vote – as long as they’re Democrats. Republican registrations go into the trash.

Here is a first-hand account of how it happens. In February 2008, Fathiyyah Muhammad of Jacksonville, Florida, heard that ACORN was paying people three dollars for each voter they could register. ACORN paid her three dollars for each voter she registered, but Fatiyyah Muhammad says that the group threw out her votes and fired her when she brought them registrations of Republican voters.

Fathiyyah Muhammad voted for Obama. “I’m a Republican,” she says, “and this was the first time that I voted for a Democrat since JFK…. I’m one of those rare birds, a black conservative Republican, and actually this is the black conservative capital of the country, Jacksonville, Florida.” She is an entrepreneur and a great American: she makes custom caps for her businesses Bilal’s Custom Caps and Only in America. She and her James have made custom caps for politicians, sports heroes, musicians, and others. “America,” she says, “is the place you can live your dreams if you work at it.” She’s a can-do woman with a great American spirit, and when she saw what was breaking in the news about ACORN, she came forward; I interviewed her Monday morning.

“This is my first experience” with ACORN, Muhammad said. “This was before Obama got the nomination, long before then….I heard about this group that was paying $3.00 per person, to go out and to get people to sign up to vote. So I went over, I thought that well this is a good way to make some money because I know everybody, you know. I went over there and this guy signed me up and everything, and gave me my little pad, all this stuff.”

Muhammad went to the ACORN office in Jacksonville. There she encountered a young man speaking to a room of about twenty people. “He was telling us, you know, about his experience, he was from Brooklyn, he wasn’t from this area. He was just here recruiting people to register people to vote. They had a big office here, and I would say maybe about ten or twelve people at there.”

She went to work: “Well, I went out and got a lot of people, homeless people, but of course I signed everybody up as a Republican, and I would have put people had they been Democrats.” She was not forcing people to sign up as Republicans: “You could put down anything you wanted.” But when she got back to ACORN, a group leader was not pleased: “So I showed what I had, and he said, “No, no, you a fraud, there can’t be any black Republicans,’ and oh, he just kind of hung me out to dry…. But of course their main aim was to register only Democrats. They’re not interested in registering Republicans.”

She saw ACORN officials in Jacksonville throw out the Republican registrations she made. “They just discarded those, they weren’t valid. All of the registrations… they just threw those out.” Yet she says that she is sure that the people she registered were actually going to vote: “Yes, they all were going to vote, I just didn’t want to get anybody just to get the three dollars, I wasn’t desperate for three dollars.”

To ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis: What say ye now?

It this is indeed true, it is audacious, stunning, lawless power-grabbing a thousand-fold. I’m sure that the fringe media, if they were to even consider reporting this newly uncovered atrocity (and we know they won’t, because CNN is too busy stupidly fact-checking comedy shows), would first paint Pamela Geller, then Fathiyyah Muhammad, as racists.

Comment from Cowboy Logic at Big Government:

Love Pam Geller and her thread at Atlas Shrugged. She is always out front, taking the heat. Would love to see more of her here. She is always correct in her assessments.

Fathiyyah Muhammad is a real hero, to stand up and tell the truth. I would love to see a parade of Black Republican Conservatives stand up and tell their stories. I have always believed they were out there. It will only take a few to break the silence. Bertha Lewis is like the little Dutch Boy, plugging the leaky dyke with his finger. She is about to get hit by a Tsunami.

Comment from saltydog at Big Government:

It seems that every election from 06 through 08 needs to be checked thoroughly.Fourteen states investigating voter registration fraud will explode to fifty. It’s a slow process because the Lame Street Media won’t even report on the known 14 states much less report this horrific story. Because of Obama and the democrats some nasty layers of government are being peeled back.

From wonder_all at Big Government:

So when are we going to be able to question the legitimacy of the 2008 election results? Gore was able to bring his “hanging chad” case before the courts citing voter fraud. When do the Republicans get the same opportunity?

Republican voter registrations were thrown out. Mickey Mouse voted. I think there is a case.

Comment from hopefull at Big Government:

This should also be national news. Please keep this up front for everyone to see. This should not be let to die like other news worthy stories. We need more people like Fathiyyah Muhammad to step up and tell their story. Keep up the pressure and lets watch the downfall of ACORN!!!

Comment from copperpeony at Big Government:

I read once that the “Black Republican Conservatives” , which there are many, are much too afraid to speak up. They are physically intergrated with the black obama supporters and fear for their lives and personal property. A very sad thing.
