New York Times ^ | October 16, 2008 | Editors

Posted on 09/17/2009 1:26:02 AM PDT by drellberg

In Wednesday night’s debate, John McCain warned that a group called Acorn is “on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history” and “may be destroying the fabric of democracy.” Viewers may have been wondering what Mr. McCain was talking about. So were we.

In the next round, conservatives will bludgeon the MSM with their own words on Acorn.

There is such a wealth of useful material. Just searching the NY Times archives provides a treasure trove of sheer stupidity.

I have often wondered why liberals are so stupid. Are they born that way, do they take lessons to become stupid, or do they take strange pills to induce stupidity?

True. But what must be front and center in the ACORN ‘conversation’ is the direct connections between ACORN and Obama!

I agree. I don’t believe for a minute ACORN’s frontline leaders aren’t in a prominent address group on zer0’s Blackberry.

Outstanding! I guess I am merely stating what is obvious to others.

It seems to me that what we’ve been witnessing of late ... Acorn, Van Horn, ... is just the beginning of an avalanche of nonsense. The mountain of damning material is ever so high and growing by the hour.

They take lessons. It’s called “education,” but it takes a lot of learning to become that stupid.

Why, oh why, hasn’t anyone posted Sarah’s Convention comments about a community organizer. I would if I knew where to find them, and if I knew how to post something like that.

If it has been done, please point me in the right direction. TIA.

“Based on the information that has come to light so far, the charges appear to be wildly overblown — and intended to hobble Acorn’s efforts.”

And why RINO”pubies” in many case don’t use “such a wealth of useful material” which could crush the libtards for a long long time?
The answers may not be very nice!
Like some “behind the stage” agreements to share the power,suspiscious business...in order to keep average genuine conservatives people away from power...

Does your file include the story from Newsday.com, yesterday, by Jennifer Kelleher, about the couple in Huntington, L.I., New York, who showed up at a house and performed a violent home invasion? They gained entry because the man, Benjamin Thomas, wore a stethescope around his neck, and the woman, Natali Desir, had a clipboard and pamphlets, and they announced that they were there to talk about health care. My guess is they were ACORN activists, being paid that $11-15/hour that was being advertised to go house to house and spread the good news.

Some are born stupid, some are made stupid, yet others have stupidity thrust upon them.
