If you don't dig them up, how can they show up at the polling place to vote? |

Is Hussein Obama one of those? That would explain the absence of his Birth Certificate, transcripts, etc. And was Ayers one of the grave robbers? The true story of Obama's presidency is finally coming together!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,531052,00.html Four Illinois Cemetery Workers Charged With Digging Up Graves and Dismembering Bodies The Rev. Jesse Jackson lambasted the four alleged "graveyard robbers" charged with digging up graves and dismembering bodies buried at a suburban Chicago cemetery in a moneymaking scheme. The four cemetery workers are accused of taking cash payments from unsuspecting clients for plots of land, falsifying deeds, excavating existing graves and dumping the bones and remains in the back of the cemetery, authorities said at a news conference. They would then allegedly bury the new corpses in the already-used graves at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Ill. Police called conditions at the historic cemetery "startling and revolting." "The human degradation is immeasurable," Jackson told reporters. "There should be no bail for these graveyard thieves. They deserve a special place in hell." Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart says workers at Burr Oak allegedly dug up more than 100 graves, dumped the bodies into unmarked mass graves and resold the plots to unsuspecting members of the public. The three men and one woman were charged Thursday with one count each of dismembering a human body. Dart said the woman was the cemetery's office manager and was at the center of the operation "This was not done in a delicate way," he told reporters. "They would excavate the grave and the entire site and then dump the remains whereever they found a place to do it in the back of the cemetery." Burr Oak is the final resting place of many famous African-Americans, including lynching victim Emmett Till, blues singers Willie Dixon, Dinah Washington and Otis Spann, as well as Harlem Globetrotter Inman Jackson. Hundreds of confused and angry family members are looking for answers at a suburban Chicago cemetery after the four were accused of digging up graves and reselling plots in a moneymaking scheme. Authorities in the southern Chicago suburb of Alsip were directing crowds at Burr Oak Cemetery Thursday and taking reports from families. Among the family members is 54-year-old Ralph Gunn, whose father and nephew were buried at Burr Oak but whose bodies are missing. Gunn says their headstones are gone. And he says he can't fathom why anyone would want to dig up bodies. Authorities say most of the problems are from a secluded area of the cemetery that contains older plots |

This is a basic money making scam and the blacks will beat the drum for "hate crime" status. Can't the blacks just go away for a few weeks. After Micheal Jackson, I'm exhausted. |

http://www.wral.com/news/national_world/national/story/5541111/ Ill. cemetery workers accused in grisly plot Posted: Today at 4:09 p.m. Updated: Today at 8:50 p.m. ALSIP, Ill. — Three gravediggers and a cemetery manager unearthed hundreds of corpses from a historic black cemetery south of Chicago, dumping some in a weeded area and double-stacking others in existing graves, in an elaborate scheme to resell the plots, authorities said Thursday. All four were charged with felonies. Frantic relatives of the deceased descended on Burr Oak Cemetery - the final resting place of lynching victim Emmett Till and blues singers Willie Dixon and Dinah Washington - in hopes someone could tell them their loved ones' remains were not among the pile of bones that littered a remote area of the property in Alsip, 12 miles south of Chicago. Some found apparently undisturbed plots, but others wandered, unable to locate loved ones. "This is a mess. We can't find our people," said Ralph Gunn, 54, of Chicago, who filled out a report for authorities after a futile search for the headstones of his brother and nephew. Others cried and clutched cemetery maps as they waited for a chance to look themselves. They listened as Sheriff Tom Dart said the displacement of bodies "was not done in a very delicate way," and that remains were dumped haphazardly, littered with shards of coffins. For graves stacked on top of each other, Dart said it appears they "pounded the other one down and put someone on top." snip... |

. I hope they are all caught and punished, of course. Why do I think Jackson is going to go up the chain until he finds someone with deep pockets to accuse? . |

Some tweets from upset family members. http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/breaking-tweets-chicago/2009/07/burr-oak-heartbreak-continues.html Fortitude1913 Dad just got back from Burr Oak. It's a MESS. Cars backed up for miles and not being allowed in the cemetery. Got ZERO information Fortitude1913 @848 Between my mother and father's sides, there are at least two-dozen family members buried there, including my dad's mother. (more) Fortitude1913 @848 And no, he could not get in. Cars backed up and not allowed to park or drive inside the gates. Nobody could help w/info at all. (more) Fortitude1913 @848 The ofc. used to provide a card w/grave location upon request and dad was told they have no capacity to do that now. Fortitude1913 @848 The trip is futile w/o already knowing exact location of grave and being willing to walk to it -- and Burr Oak is huge. Fortitude1913 @848 My dad said it was pure chaos out there and doesn't look like it'll be sorted out anytime soon. MRKITCHENTALK SAD WE HAVE TO PEOPLE GRAVES THAT WE CAN NOT FIND AT THE GRAVEYARD Atirol I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! 300+ disinterred @ Burr Oak Cemetery-my parents+many relatives there.Must go 2 cemetery 2 C if graves r intact.
