ACORN is "distancing" themselves from the controversy? How do you do that when YOU ARE THE CONTROVERSY???

Isn't that akin to trying to get away from your own STINKING FEET?

When YOU are guilty, you don't get to distance yourself from the controversy, you have to clean it up.

I saw that (”distancing”) also and rolled my eyes. Maybe it’s like O.J. distancing himself from the double homicide by looking for the “real killers”.

Not sure if there is a thread on this or not, but Fox & FRiends reported earlier this morning that the college kids from Palestra who interviewed people from ACORN were called by a representative of the Sec of State of Ohio, and told to stop reporting those stories because they are helping the Republicans with their talking points.

Simple. You tell the media you're "distancing yourself from the controversy", and they go, "OK" and stop reporting on it.
