So what did you all think?

Are you also so firmly against all the Republican Groups accused of voter fraud?

Does it matter to you that the RNC has been accused of so much voter supression?

ACORN workers have been convicted of submitting false voter registration forms. In some cases thousands of forms. This is not the same or as serious as voting fraud, but it still shows the character of the group from the top to the bottom with fraud and embezzlement from the founder all the way down to the worker bees.

Here is another great thing about ACORN.

Sometimes the group's tactics are confrontational, veering into civil disobedience. For instance, in the late 1980s, ACORN activists in a number of cities, including Chicago, seized abandoned houses and encouraged "squatting" by homeless people, in an attempt to force local governments to salvage abandoned properties and convert them into low-income housing. The targets of ACORN's protests sometimes describe the activists as intractable or even aggressive.


Of course I would be upset if Republicans were doing this. If this is a group that you feel is worthy of your support or our Presidents, then I am baffled.

ACORN, where do I start...

There are multiple things wrong with this organization, and the fraud perpetrated by this organization is more than just one video. There are still plenty more videos where that one come from, and in each case (except one case I believe), shows that they were more than willing to aid and abet in criminal activities. This is way beyond phony voter regs, but I'll touch on that a little later. Supporting tax evasion and the import of underage women for prostitution rings, all shown clearly on camera, with MORE videos to come. The person that runs the site, Andrew Breitbart, has called on Eric Holder to perform a thorough investigation on ACORN, and if he doesn't (it doesn't seem that he will), he will continue to release videos depicting this fraud, particularly during the upcoming election season.

Now, when we talk about voter registrations, I'm sure we can find many cases where that exists all over the place. The biggest difference is that ACORN receives federal money, i.e. tax dollars form me and you, but acts as a partisan organization. They have shown that they wanted Obama to win, and were using tax dollars to support that.

Beyond that level of fraud, we also see that knowing that investigators were coming in to their office, they proceeded to drop a ton of documents in the trash before those investigators showed up. Perhaps a case of obstruction of justice. And if those documents weren't damning, why throw them out?

In addition, ACORN, throwing out those documents, have let those documents with personal information to be improperly disposed, in violation of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

What "hillbilly twang"? Just because you are originally from Chile doesnt give you the right to criticize us "hillbillies".

On a serious note, I think you really have the tendency to look down on us who disagree with your views because you think our point of view is backwards and yours is the more "progressive" one. But that's a'ight. I guess Im just a hillbilly driving a 2007 X5...

btw, how's yer mama 'n 'em?
