Are Former SDS Radicals Trying To Steal This Election?

If that sounds slightly hyperbolic, you should know that no less a personage than Greta Van Susteren is working on this story, and she thinks something is afoot. She’s asking readers to use their google-fu to help research the story:

1. The Secretary of State of Ohio Jennifer Brunner filed a request in the Supreme Court relating to the underlying claim in her state that there has been voter registration fraud…with ties to the work of ACORN in registering voters.

2.  A group — the Service Employees International Union [SEIU] — filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court asking the Supreme Court to rule with the Secretary of State of Ohio (and essentially asking for a ruling that would be favorable to ACORN in that it would “call off the dogs.”)

3.  I thought it curious that SEIU would file an amicus brief for Brunner and did some quick research …and now I need more indepth research (which is where YOU come in.)  According to my quick research..the same person who started ACORN, started SIEU.  His name is Wade Rathke. So then I wondered, who is Wade Rathke?

4.  I did some really quick research and learned that Rathke was a member of the anti war group SDS.  This is where YOU come in again.  If you know 60’s history, you know that the Weather Underground was an offshoot of SDS. There was some disagreement in the late 60’s and members of the SDS – Bill Ayers and his wife – left and formed/ joined the Weather Underground.

So now I am wondering: do Rathke and Ayers know each other (from SDS / Weather Underground days)? what is the connection now, if any, between them? between ACORN and SEIU? between them and Senator Obama?

966 comments so far, including my tip about the Mike Klonsky SDS Obama connection.

Ohhh, yeaahhhh…..Another commie for Obamie who just happens to come from the SDS, too, and was good friends with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.

This was his Barack Obama Community Blog before he got thrown under the bus:

Mike Klonsky, Wade Rathke, Bill Ayers: All former SDS members. All supporters of Barack Obama.

According to The Founding Bloggers:

At a crucial moment in the Democratic primaries, (Wade Rathke’s) ACORN announced that it would be endorsing Barack Obama, possibly destroying any meaningful chance Hillary would have had to win Ohio.

Now Rathke, is coming through for Obama, again, by pleading with The Supreme Court to rule with the Secretary of State of Ohio, Jennifer Brunner.

We’ll soon see if “the dogs” are called off.
