ACORN At it Again

Absolutely. Whether or not 'Mickey Mouse' voted is not the issue, the fraud is the issue. ACORN are not an acceptable apolitical organization.

So, then you agree that the OP "KMAN" is simply talking out of his ass with his original assertion?

I find ACORN an unacceptable organization to be anywhere near our political system. As far as I am concerned, they are not fit for purpose and should be dissolved. I have no problem with communities organizing and helping those who need assistance but influencing votes, being any part of the election process is unacceptable. The Raffkeys are a pair of corrupt, self serving individuals who have made a lot of money out of ripping off those they were supposed to help.

So, should this evil ACORN you want to disolve no longer be allowed to:

-work to raise the minimum wage or enact living wage policies

-eliminate predatory financial practices by mortgage lenders, payday lenders, and tax preparation companies

-win the development of affordable housing and community benefits agreements

-improve the quality of and funding for urban public schools

-rebuild New Orleans

-pass a federal and state Working Families Agenda, including paid sick leave for all full time workers.
 
Except that the leftists continually try to ensure that no ID is needed for voting... it's all step by step for them to get what they want, irregardless of the people, what is right, or what our government was set up to be


Officials elected BY the people. That is what we have. Is that not what our government was set up to be?

No... maybe if you knew your civics

On the federal level
We have a legislative set up to be elected by the people...
We have an executive that is set up to be elected by the electoral college and not direct popular vote
We have the judicial that is set up to be selected and confirmed by the other 2 branches

Now back to your assumption... when a party or group decides to take steps to thwart the election and selection process by the use of fraud, fraudulent registration, fraudulent voting, etc.. that is directly opposed to what our government was set up to be... and ACORN is a group that is involved in shady dealings in terms of elections.. when you get party supported registration fraud, and when you fight to get no ID checks for voting, it shows that you are going against the system, not for it, by calling for and inviting fraud

First, I think ACORN is as crooked as anyone. However, to imply that because of ACORN "your guy" lost the election is simply reaching for excuses. "Your guy" lost because America had grown tired of the current GOP leadership. The sooner the GOP accepts this, the sooner they can be an effective party against the left.

This evil ACORN should be allowed to do whatever they want within the letter of the law. However, they have proven they do not deserve to do anything with our tax payer dollars. End of story.
 
republican 2 Biggest Mistakes when they had majority:

1. Not Instituting a National Voter ID

2. Not Declaring August 4 a National Holiday to celebrate the election of Americas first Kenyan born US Senator: Barack Hussein Obama
 
It's Tea Baggers currently intimidating voters.Acorn has never been convicted of anything! Just meaningless whining from the right. how sad.
Did you type that with a straight face?

Apparently not, since the poster cannot provide even a partisan link to support the allegation.

I find it very annoying when idiots do that - state something, even using 'bold' to emphasis it - and don't provide any evidence whatsoever.

It must be a joke.

I don't see where that was implied at all. It appears to be nothing more than attempt to avoid the factually based information provided by Diamond Dave. A more accurate statement on ACORN would be, MORE crooked than most.

You're right!

ACORN is the nations largest grassroots community organization of low- and moderate-income people with over 400,000 member families organized into more than 1,200 neighborhood chapters in about 75 cities across the country. Since 1970, ACORN has been building community organizations that are committed to social and economic justice, and won victories on thousands of issues of concern to our members, through direct action, negotiation, legislative advocacy and voter participation. ACORN helps those who have historically been locked out become powerful players in our democratic system.

Why ACORN Was in the News, and What the News Got Wrong
Accurate reporting sidelined as mainstream media repeats allegations of Republican Party operatives and politicians

Recently released study finds widespread inaccuracy in the reporting of an alleged “voter fraud” scandal involving ACORN

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — An independent study by two prominent academics, released this week, found repetition of unverified allegations and distortions was the rule in national reporting of a purported “voter fraud” scandal involving the community organizing group ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) during the 2008 presidential campaign.

The analysis of the narrative framing the ACORN stories demonstrates that — despite long-standing charges from conservatives that the news media are determinedly liberal and ignore conservative ideas — the news media agenda is easily permeated by persistent conservative media campaigns, even when there is little or no truth to the story.

The authors conducted a content analysis of all 647 stories about ACORN that appeared in 15 major news media organizations from 2007-2008. The news media analyzed included USA Today, The New York Times, Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News Channel, CNN, MSNBC, National Public Radio (NPR), and NewsHour with Jim Lehrer (PBS). They also examined all stories about ACORN from three local newspapers representing cities in which ACORN has a long-time presence: the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Using the controversy over ACORN as a case study, the report illustrates the way the media help set the agenda for public debate, and frame the way that debate is shaped. It describes how what the authors call opinion entrepreneurs (primarily business and conservative groups and individuals) set the story in motion as early as 2006, how the “conservative echo chamber” orchestrated its anti-ACORN campaign in 2008, how the McCain-Palin campaign picked it up, and how the mainstream media reported these allegations without investigating their truth or falsity. As a result, the relatively little-known community organization became the subject of a major news story in the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, to the point where 82 percent of the respondents in an October 2008 national survey reported they had heard about ACORN.

In October 2008, at the peak of the campaign season, negative attacks dominated the news about ACORN with these key findings:

* 76 percent of the stories focused on allegations of voter fraud.
* 8.7 percent involved accusations that public funds were being funneled to ACORN.
* 7.9 percent of the stories involved charges that ACORN is a front for registering Democrats.
* 3.1 percent involved blaming ACORN for the mortgage scandal.

The report also found that the media, including the mainstream news media, failed to fact-check persistent allegations of voter fraud involving ACORN despite the existence of easily available countervailing evidence. The media failed to distinguish allegations of voter registration problems from allegations of actual voting irregularities. They also failed to distinguish between allegations of wrongdoing and actual wrongdoing. For example:

* 82.8 percent of the stories alleging voter fraud failed to mention that actual voter fraud is very rare.
* 80.3 percent of the stories alleging involvement in voter fraud failed to mention that ACORN was reporting registration irregularities to authorities, as required by law.
* 85.1 percent of the stories alleging involvement in voter fraud failed to note that ACORN was acting to stop incidents of registration problems by its (mostly temporary) employees when it became aware of these problems.
* 95.8 percent of the stories alleging involvement in voter fraud failed to provide deeper context, especially efforts by Republican Party officials to use allegations of voter fraud to dampen voting by low-income and minority Americans.
* 61.4 percent of the stories alleging involvement in voter fraud failed to acknowledge that Republicans were trying to discredit Obama with an ACORN scandal.

The authors reveal that the attacks on ACORN by Republicans and conservatives — and the same pattern of reportage that repeats allegations without any attempt to independently verify the facts — have persisted throughout 2009. For example, despite recently discovered e-mails revealing Karl Rove’s role in the firing of U.S. Attorney David Iglesias for failing to prosecute ACORN on charges of voter fraud despite the lack of evidence, not a single major daily newspaper mentioned ACORN as the Republicans’ target.

I am aware of all this. It might be news to you, but not to me. I have - time and again - stated that the small organizations under the umbrella of ACORN should not be adversely affected by any condemnation of that organization. Not all of these are corrupt, they do much good work and provide a great service in their communities. That is where they belong - in communities, not in government, nor in elections. However, unfortunately for them, ACORN has tainted their good work with the corruption. The good work does not make the corruption acceptable.
 
“ACORN has been in legal trouble in several states with raid after raid on their offices by officials looking into voter fraud. More than 30 ACORN officials have been convicted of fraud and new allegations of fraud are surfacing by the day,” Johanns said. “It’s wrong to give tax dollars to a group with multiple convictions of undermining our democratic process and our laws. So, I’m introducing measures to stop the federal funding of ACORN.” – Senator Mike Johanns

Now what does that tell us about this organization? Come on you Obama ass kissers tell us that this organization is not crooked, and please tell us again how Mr Obama had no Idea that they were crooked or that they received Federal monies. I need a good joke.

By the way I am proud to say I voted today and yes they asked for and were shown an ID.

Anyone who thinks ACORN is a 'grassroots' organization is an idiot. ACORN have long since left 'grasssroots' community care behind in a rush to power.

And LOL at the partisan article that is used to 'inform' us all about this bunch of self-serving, corrupt assholes.
 
Acorn. Another name for a buch of crooks. I would love to know how many millions of our hard earned dollars have gone into funding this bunch of thieves. They are under investigation all across the country for voter and registration fraud and theres Bertha Lewis, the CEO, standing there saying they aren't. What a crock of BS. Of course Obama already threw them all under the bus just like he wasn't an attorney for them and showed them how to get banks to loan money to folks with bad credit and no credit. The Dems favorite outfit. Right there next to Fanny and Freddie. What a bunch of winners supported by us hard working taxpayers. I wonder if we can all get a refund on the millioins they have poured into this pack of thieves????

Hey Ollie, I hate to be the one to break it to 'ya, but if defrauding the government is your criteria to cease receiving Federal monies, say goodbye to every major defense contractor...

BTW, The amount of money that ACORN has received in the past 20 years altogether is roughly equal to what the taxpayer paid to Halliburton each day during the war in Iraq.

Oh, no...there goes your glorious All American human being killing machine...:eek::eek::eek:

Good work pea brain...you found in that whole litany of the Institute's outstanding initiatives and accomplishments four letters that are only scary to right wing pea brain parrots...ACLU

Why would anyone support an organization that fights for civil liberties for We, the People? Doesn't the government provide them?
 
Note screen name. Doubt if that was sarcasm. Same logic could be applied to child predators who set up the date with a 12 year old bring the booze and the condoms but get caught before penetration. Gotta love that line of idiocy.
