Do you not agree there's a big difference between voter fraud and registration fraud? Parsing words my arse. I'll call you on falsehoods every time. Go ahead and deny and rationalize (just like the good alcoholic Glenn Beck ), but I'm going to call you on it anyway.

This is what extremists do - lie. That's what's ruining this country. Not "socialism" or "communism" but dishonesty. But hey, it's not your fault, right? It's my fault. Me, the evil communist sympathizing parser of words. What a load.
Not parsing words? Ell oh ell, surely you jest. The employee's compensation being tied to the number of voter registrations is what this is about, and that is illegal. It had everything to do with voter registration and how the employees were being compensated for registration quotas, if you will. You cannot say that it's only about illegal compensation without stating what the illegal part of their compensation was without looking like a moron.

So what falsehood did you call me out on again?

That doesn't have a thing in the World to do with the fact that this country is still a Democracy.

Let me remind you again.

You are in the minority if you disapprove of the job Obama is doing.

Gallup Daily: Obama Job Approval
The USA has never been a Democracy.

We are a Constitutional Republic.

Republics are typically democratic. We're not a direct democracy, but we use democracy as a tool in making decisions.

In some instances - the referendum process - we do practice direct democracy.

As ACORN has itself reported the instances of registration fraud it has found, accusing ACORN of voter registration fraud makes such a claim look like it was made by a moron.

The workers may be guilty of registration fraud, and then again, it may only be the applicants who have committed a crime. Either way, there is no basis whatsoever to charge ACORN with such crimes. Try again.

The lie was claiming saganista alluded to voter fraud by ACORN, when nothing of the sort was said by saganista. The lie was furthered by claiming voter fraud and registration fraud are the same thing, and then crying "you evil word parser" when called on it.

No, we won't charge ACORN with any crimes, just the folks that work for ACORN......

Are you aware that the employees' actions were discovered by TPTB at ACORN and the potentially fraudulent registration cards were separated to be reviewed by the Secretaries of States by ACORN? IOW, ACORN uncovered the fraud and turned in those employees who committed it.

Are you really that thick headed? You, yourself claimed there was NO voter registration fraud, now you say they may be guilty of it? ROFL.

So which is it? There was voter registration fraud or not? Or only by the employees but not by ACORN? Or better yet, blame the applicants!! Great idea! I don't really care if ACORN reported it or not, several state AG's were also investigating it so to say there is no basis to charge ACORN with voter/registration fraud is well, simple-minded. I suppose all those AG's are morons (to use your terminology) for investigating?

Editted to add: when did i say voter fraud and voter registration fraud are the same thing? I corrected myself by saying I should have said voter registration fraud, then told you to stop parsing words.
