should set things straight on this whole acorn garbage.


This is why I'm starting to really wonder about Factcheck.org; while they have the 'facts' the analysis is sounding gullible; ie what McCain and Palin have been pointing out has been true but we think their accusations of intent are a bit harsh - ACORN told us they didn't mean to do it, none of the voter registration fraud has turned into voting fraud *yet*, the guilty parties still haven't been convicted in federal court yet, so therefore we think this is mostly hysteria. Also on the housing scandal - they did try but we don't think they succeeded.

due respect, but an acorn employee submitting the names of an out-of-state football team in order to work less for more pay is not only 'unlikely' to lead to voter fraud, but close to impossible unless said footballers decide to hop a few states in order to vote multiple times. Same/same with 'Mickey Mouse' and other cartoon characters.

Acorn was the victim of fraud by its employees, not the perpetrator of it.
