Subject: Of course, NO instances of actual voter fraud by ACORN were actually found
In reply to: BFIH 's message, "Ah the time honored tradition of the "stalking horse"?" on 22:19:51 06/14/12 Thu

& of course, O'keefe's bogus 'expose' has itself long since been exposed itself as illegal & immoral (as well as untrue). Apparently this hasn't stopped Rush, Faux noise et al from continually & perpetually regurgitating the same putrid pablum to an audience of willing dupes ad nauseum ...

Aren't you tired of being lied to by whatever propagandistic sources of right wing fantasyland brainwashing & manipulation you must be exposing yourself to?

>>> “The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) did not commit voter fraud, and it didn't misuse federal funding in the last five years, according to a recently released report prepared by the Congressional Research Service (CRS), a nonpartisan investigational arm of Congress.”

And what's more, the article – purportedly “news,” not opinion (as though, on Fox, there's a difference!), has an accuracy problem concerning the “allegations of voter fraud” – something Fox has done repeatedly. As News Hounds has mentioned . . . and mentioned . . . and mentioned, the allegations were of voter registration fraud, not voter fraud, during the 2008 election. (In fact, a debate last spring between Megyn Kelly and ACORN's Scott Levenson on this very subject caused Kelly to have a little hissy fit tantrum meltdown.) The article also fails to mention that, while there have been individual instances of ACORN workers being charged and/or convicted of voter registration fraud, the charges have never been proven, at least with regard to ACORN.

As reported by Brad Friedman of the Huffington Post during the 2008 election, “the GOP's democracy-hating propagandists and election officials run to the media shouting, 'ACORN is committing voter fraud! They've turned in hundreds and thousands of fraudulent registration forms!' Of course they have. They have to by law. But what those GOP despots of democracy always forget to mention is that ,it was ACORN themselves who notified officials about the potentially fraudulent and/or incomplete forms in the first place!” <<< (links in following URL for citing)

My search of Hilary & stalking horse just led me to much confusion (& somewhat contexturally archaic, at that), btw.
