Unbelievable.
"ACORN has been accused by Republicans and conservative activists with fraud in voter registration drives around the country. ACORN officials say the Florida case proves the organization is committed to an honest process."
To paraphrase a lawyer joke, what do they call 11 ACORNS at the bottom of the ocean?
Glenn Beck said people were going to jail by the end of the week.
Democrats will start eating their own now. They’ll turn on their own people to stay out of jail.
I don’t believe this one. More spin.
Yeah, they gave up some peons to keep the feds off their backs. Drug dealers and mafiosi do it all the time.
Exactly. And the media help the ACORN nuts by saying "the organization is showing how honest they are..." instead of saying what is probably the truth: that the HEAT of the INVESTIGATION was about to come down on 'em.
“Yeah, they gave up some peons to keep the feds off their backs. Drug dealers and mafiosi do it all the time.”
Yeah, probably the ones who “under performed”.....
Or too stupid not to get caught.
This is what they do everywhere and anytime they get caught.
It is their pattern of practice.
Please just one smoking gun to the top brass of this criminal organization.
11 is not enough. This corrupt organization should be shut down.
excerpt:
... This year alone ACORN has registered 1,315,037 voters.
Although the organization prides itself for its registration efforts, it also has a long history of scandal. In the state of Missouri in 1986, 12 ACORN members were convicted of voter fraud. But that case was not an isolated incident in the state. In December 2004, in St. Louis, six volunteers pleaded guilty of dozens of election law violations for filling out registration cards with names of dead people and other bogus information. Authorities launched an earlier investigation after noticing that among the new voters was longtime St. Louis alderman Albert “Red” Villa, who died in 1990. The volunteers worked for “Operation Big Vote” — a branch of ACORN — in St. Louis.
On February 10, 2005, Nonaresa Montgomery, a paid worker who ran Operation Big Vote during the run-up to the 2001 mayoral primary, was found guilty of vote fraud. Montgomery hired about 30 workers to do fraudulent voter-registration canvassing. Instead of knocking on doors, the volunteers sat at a St. Louis fast food restaurant and wrote out names and information from an outdated voter list. About 1,500 fraudulent voter registration cards were turned in. I
n October 2006, St. Louis election officials discovered at least 1,492 “potentially fraudulent” voter registration cards. They were all turned in by ACORN volunteers. ...
Thank God for the Internet. Thank God for FOX and our talk radio hosts. The MSM can’t lie to us anymore.
LOL - a good start?
Hey now, I didn’t say that!
How is the media spinning it? Is there evidence that they didn’t really turn in their employees for turning in falsified voter registrations? From what I’m reading and hearing that’s just what they did. The volunteers get paid for each registration they turn in so some turned in more than they really had to get extra money is how I understand it.
