The left will try anything...LOL

You would think they would just cut to the chase when they come to an ACORN discussion and say "uh can we talk about something else?"

No, that would be a horrible analogy. Nobody at Macy's is telling sales associates to shoplift, and nobody at ACORN is telling canvassers to submit bogus registration cards.

And you KNOW this 100% for sure and without ANY doubt?
Yeah, I thought so.

Well, if you didn't know any better, you might think that. But maybe the "something else" to talk about is the ease with which ideas can be planted in right-wingers' heads. The anti-ACORN campaign is a false-front, like some weathered saloon in a low-budget western. But you all won't walk around back to see that the facade is just being propped up for the time being by some skimpy assortment of two-by-fours...

The fact they lost and will likely not receive federal funding in the future would suggest that "low budget" western was a smashing success!

Sounds like the State of Louisiana legal officials raided the offices of a group that serve as the mailing address for ACORN and SEIU plus about 250 groups that are much like the two of them. A building that would have trouble holding the offices of either ACORN or SEIU as national headquarters.

Sounds like a couple of young people had quite an effect on ACORN and they are trying to keep from having anymore attention focused on them. Just think two kids playing at being a pimp and his prostitute trying to establish a house of ill repute started all of this. Not really, since Beck was onto that building last summer.

It appears that old Rhett didn't read the link where the crimes they mentioned were more than just voter registration fraud.

You don't know that. But there's enough funny stuff going on and enough accusations connected to them to start an investigation.
