TR> Inside ACORN

 TR> The Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now
 TR> (ACORN) is an organization that is tailor-made for Barack
 TR> Obama. It is community based, it is ultra-liberal, and it
 TR> will do and say just about anything to achieve its
 TR> political ends.

 Except things that are illegal. And if one of their employees
 does commit illegal acts they turn that person in.

 TR> ACORN has drawn questions regarding its
 TR> operating practices since its inception in 1970, but now

 And yet not one of the accusations has been proven against them.

 TR> the 350,000-member (their number) organization has been
 TR> caught up in a nationwide scandal for its illegal voter
 TR> registration practices.

 Um... that's libel. They do not participate in illegal voter
 registration practices. Some of their employees do, but that is
 a fraud against Acorn, since the fale registrations are almost
 all caught and they signers do not go out and vote on them.

 TR> In recent weeks there have been myriad charges filed
 TR> against the organization from all around the country. In

 Charges? Or accusations? Anyone can accuse, what charges have
 been filed?

 TR> Las Vegas, ACORN offices were raided after complaints over
 TR> thousands of fraudulent registration applications were
 TR> submitted by ACORN workers and volunteers. The Michigan
 TR> Secretary of State is on record noting that ACORN submitted
 TR> "a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent
 TR> applications." Other states that are taking action against
 TR> ACORN include New Mexico, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina,
 TR> Missouri and Indiana: not coincidentally, these are all
 TR> battleground states. Furthermore, the FBI has opened an
 TR> investigation into the group.

 None of those states have "taken action against Acorn". They
 have opened investigations. Acorn responded to the
 investigations by pointing out that they had flagged the false
 registrations and turned them over to election officials.

 TR> The scope of the fraud clearly shows that it is a
 TR> systematic campaign.

 Since there cannot be election fraud until the election there is
 no such election fraud. Since the scope of the fraud consists of
 a few people playing games with voter registration any fraud is
 not on the part of Acorn.

 Anyone with a functioning brain should realize you have to
 present ID to vote. Unless someone's name really is Donald Duck
 or Mickey Mouse that person is not going to get to vote. Since
 Acorn is trying to get people to vote there is absolutely no
 incentive for Acorn to submit registrations with obviously fake
 names on them. They submit them because the law says they have
 to. The are not allowed to pick and choose which registrations
 they turn in.

 If a republican comes up to one of their workers, wearing a
 McCain campaign button, and fills out a registration form, the
 worker has to turn it in.

 Got it?

 TR> And it is no GOP witch-hunt as the knee-jerk leftist
 TR> reaction fired off by the media suggested in recent days. A

 It is a GOP witch hunt. It was back when the New Mexico US
 Attorney, Iglesias was told to investigate the same sort of
 fraud, and he found it was not real. He was fired for reporting
 the truth, that the fraud didn't exist.

 That is the GOP witch hunt that is starting all over again.

 TR> look at just who is filing the complaints and pressing the
 TR> charges readily demonstrates that the outrage is
 TR> nonpartisan.

 Why does it take outrage to investigate when there is a
 complaint? They investigate. As of yet, they have not found one
 charge they can bring against Acorn.

 TR> These crimes are endemic to the organization
 TR> as a whole and undermine our republic. The ACORN
 TR> organization must be held accountable from top to bottom.

 There is zero evidence of that. Again, this is libel.

 ...

 TR> Only so many Democrats can be registered in any given area,
 TR> and when that limit is reached, ACORN’s minions sign up
 TR> dead people, the Dallas Cowboys’ offensive line and Mickey
 TR> Mouse.

 And since none of them will be allowed to vote, there is no
 incentive for Acorn to sign them up. They don't just want
 registrations, they want voters.

 TR> Homeless people are next, and since they stay in
 TR> various places, they can vote once for each non-home. Given

 You can vote once for any non-home you want to claim. That is,
 if you are not caught. Since picture ID is now required your
 chances of being caught have increased quite a bit.
