re: #249 ausador

That’s their story and there sticking to it, don’t you know that acorn registered millions of false voters all of whom combined to elect Obama over the votes of the actual and legal voters? /

Nevermind the three seperate legal investigations one of them by the United States Congress’s investigators which found absolutely no evidence of fraudulent registrations making it through processing by the county clerks or of even a single vote having been cast by any of the false “Acorn” registrations. The fact that Acorn flagged the suspected fraudulent registrations and reported them when turning them in, the fact that it would have been a felony to not turn them in even if suspected of being false, those are ignored.

It is a fixed Republican meme that many believe even when all the evidence says that it is completely false. Acorn stole the election from the God fearing conservative White People!

I think there’s no doubt that ACORN’s oversight procedures left a LOT to be desired, and denying this or minimizing it is just silly.

Some chapters operated ethically; others did not, a reflection on local operations more so than the national ACORN.

Now, has ACORN been overrated in terms of their influence? Yes, I think that’s been greatly overrated.

Here’s a funny story: One of the now flounced and banned ones had a kid in college, who got a temporary and part-time job with, wait for it - ACORN! The person just about flipped out.
