The ACORN 75:
[Link: online.wsj.com…]
“…The House vote came a day after the release of the latest video by freelance investigators James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, who crisscrossed the country posing as a pimp and prostitute. Employees in at least five different Acorn offices offered them help in setting up a child-prostitution business. If that isn’t enough to persuade 75 Democrats to stop supporting Acorn with taxpayer money, one can only conclude that the only way they’d defund the outfit is if it endorsed the war in Iraq or Afghanistan.”

Sorry, but I can’t agree with this conclusion. The films are certainly intriguing, but they’re films made by a group committed to making ACORN look bad. Accepting them at face value without further investigation is no different than charging George Bush with war crimes based on the content of a Michael Moore film.

Can we please stop turning into the rabid Left that we’ve fought so hard against for so many years?
