Computers Stolen From Boston ACORN Office

[NOBama]

BOSTON (WBZ) ― Police are investigating a burglary at the Boston offices of the community activist group ACORN.

Boston police told WBZ Friday that three Dell laptop computers were stolen from the group's Dorchester office around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday.

According to police, the alarm had also been ripped from the wall and wires had been damaged.

The police report says two downstairs offices also were ransacked, two vending machines were damaged and change stolen from them.

A representative from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now said he did not know if the break-in was politically motivated, but called the timing "suspicious."

The FBI is investigating whether ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud in several states before the presidential election.

ACORN denies any fraud.

That's the whole story LOL. Here's the link anyway: Article

Read the article Sherwood.

I did. I generally refrain from making the huge and unwarranted assumptions that you make pretty much constantly. So I'm unsure what your getting at when you say its "convenient". For who exactly, and why?

Shit.....they haven't figured out what happened to all those other computers that were stolen from the VA, Social Security Office, etc.

What makes you think they'll solve this one?

The article, such as it is, says it all in one sentence:

A representative from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now said he did not know if the break-in was politically motivated, but called the timing "suspicious."

Suspicious? To say the least.

Why exactly would Obama supporters be burglarizing an ACORN office?

Wow, that's a tough one! To prepare you for the mind-bending logic that will answer your question, please read the following:

Xsited can't answer the question.....he has no logic to use.

It looks like you might need to read the book as well. Or perhaps you need the sock puppet! If you still haven't figured it out by tomorrow, I'll answer with this guy:

 

[ABikerSailor]

No......I'm not an idiot......you can't keep me in suspense by telling me that you'll explain tomorrow.

[Larkinn]

Wow...both WillowTree and Site are both too stupid to explain things that they both admit are "very simple".

I won't be holding my breath for an honest explanation from either of you.

Well since you two dishonest fucks wouldn't say your accusations out loud, only insinuate that the ACORN break in is somehow the work of Obama/Obama supporters...

McClatchy Washington Bureau | 10/17/2008 | Death threat, vandalism hit ACORN after McCain comments

WASHINGTON — An ACORN community organizer received a death threat and the liberal activist group's Boston and Seattle offices were vandalized Thursday, reflecting mounting tensions over its role in registering 1.3 million mostly poor and minority Americans to vote next month.

Attorneys for the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now were notifying the FBI and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division of the incidents, said Brian Kettenring, a Florida-based spokesman for the group.

Republicans, including presidential candidate John McCain, have verbally attacked the group repeatedly in recent days, alleging a widespread vote-fraud scheme, although they've provided little proof. It was disclosed Thursday that the FBI is examining whether thousands of fraudulent voter-registration applications submitted by some ACORN workers were part of a systematic effort or isolated incidents.

Kettenring said that a senior ACORN staffer in Cleveland, after appearing on television this week, got an e-mail that said she "is going to have her life ended."

A female staffer in Providence, R.I., got a threatening call from someone who said words to the effect of "We know you get off work at 9," then uttered racial epithets, he said.

McClatchy is withholding the women's names because of the threats.

Separately, vandals broke into the group's Boston and Seattle offices and stole computers, Kettenring said.

The incidents came the day after McCain charged in the final presidential debate that ACORN's voter-registration drive "may be perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history" and may be "destroying the fabric of democracy."

McCain's comments provoked a response from ACORN.

"I would not say that Senator McCain is inciting violence," Kettenring said, "but I would say that his statements about the role of this manufactured scandal were totally outlandish. We would call on Senator McCain to tamp down the fringe elements in his party."

McCain's campaign didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Kettenring said that ACORN had received growing amounts of hate mail in recent weeks, but "the campaign debate sort of tipped it over to a scary point, where raising allegations of voter fraud went from a cynical campaign ploy to really inciting racial violence."

Since McCain's remarks, ACORN's 87 offices across the country have received hundreds of hostile e-mails, many of them containing racial slurs, Kettenring said. "We believe that these are specifically McCain supporters" sending the messages, he said.

The e-mail to the Cleveland employee was traced to a Facebook Web page in the name of a Baltimore man. It featured a photo of a McCain-Palin sign.

Kettenring said that the bulk of the e-mails had been either "flat-out racist" or had racial overtones. Most of the group's 400 members and about 80 percent of the 13,000 voter-registration canvassers are African-American or Latino.

It's unclear whether the alleged threats violated federal law, but Jonah Goldman, the director of the National Campaign for Fair Elections at the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a nonpartisan, nonprofit legal organization that battles discrimination, argued that the Voting Rights Act should apply.

"A real concern is the impact that these terrible acts have on the people who registered through these registration drives," Goldman said. "Legitimate, eligible voters who sign up through these registration drives may be understandably intimidated and choose not to show up at the polls, and the Voting Rights Act prevents voter intimidation."

Probably all Obama supporters too, right?....cause we all know how much Republicans love ACORN and would never do anything against them....

I honestly thought you were just kidding around, but it appears you really are clueless. Time for the sock puppet:

Get rid of the evidence!
