The Missouri GOP has issued a statement quoting a PubDef blog post that tells another tale of corruption within the McCaskill campaign. Here’s part of Pubdef’s post:

Ten-year ACORN veteran Josephine Perkins claims she was fired last week, in part because she informed the teams she supervised that it was inappropriate and illegal for them to campaign for McCaskill while being paid by ACORN and Give Missourians a Raise, the political action committee which supports Proposition B and, according to campaign finance reports, has given money to ACORN to circulate its literature.

As I pointed out here, ACORN’s history is littered with campaign transgressions in numerous states. It’d be charitable to say that their organization is ethically challenged. Redstate is on the case, too, with video of PubDef’s on camera interview with Josephine Perkins and McCaskill campaign staff worker Johanna Sharrard.

The Democrats’ talk about a culture of corruption within the GOP rings rather hollow when you see all of the ways that they ignore FEC and election regulations. It rings more hollow when their history of convictions on election violations, found here, here and here are taken into account.

This raises other questions of ethical violations. I posted here, there was a ton of friction between Howard Dean and Rahm Emanuel. Emanuel thought Dean was throwing money away by ‘investing’ in Dean’s ‘50 state strategy’. Based on the verified fact that Missouri’s Democratic Party is now devoting part of their time to lit drops for Claire McCaskill, shouldn’t we ask if Dean’s ‘50 state strategy’ money isn’t being used to illegally assist other Democratic candidates? Aren’t we justified in asking if Democrats are paying people to do the legwork on campaigns because there isn’t grassroots support to do the daily campaign things?
