As seems always to be the case, another Right Wing attack of lies bites the dust in the face of reality. We have long known that the Right Wing's attacks on Acorn had nothing to do with voter fraud (in fact, not a single vote has been found to be illegally cast as the result of Acorn's activities), but was in fact just another attempt by the Right to disenfranchise the American people's right to vote...

Better late than never, I suppose. Thanks to the Democratic leadership for sticking it to an ally because they were so afraid of the manufactured controversy:

GAO: Little evidence to support charges that killed ACORN

Vote fraud is virtually non-existent in the United States

Arrests for voter fraud are few, however, and convictions are even rarer.
Although the Bush administration began a stepped-up program in 2002 to crack down on people who cast ballots fraudulently, fewer than 100 people were convicted in the first 4 1/2 years of the program. And according to an analysis by Weiser's center, most cases of alleged fraud in recent years have turned out to be mistakes in the voter rolls that do not result in actual faulty votes cast.

The GAO is purely wrong. Voter fraud is rampant and EVERYONE knows it but the Left....Supposedly....

You people and your support for thuggish institutions and total disregard for the law.

What is the basis of your belief that the GAO is wrong?

Is there a link to the actual GAO report? As opposed to a leftist's editorial about it?

There is absolutely no verifiable information contained in your link.

BTW. The 10 GOP Myths that are supposedly debunked are anything but.
The real lies are being told by the "debunkers".

rubbish. there is PLENTY of evidence that acorn should have been killed. voter registration fraud, and supporting illegal activities. acorn may have started out as a legitimate organization many years ago, but they transformed themselves into a criminal organization, and it needed to be killed.
