Arrests Begin for ACORN Workers

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I thought I'd break the rash of soft porn threads and get back to ACORN- a group after my own heart.

Following the two ACORN member arrests for voter fraud in Wisconsin, here is a clearly partisan blog about the issue: http://hotair.com/greenroom/archives/2010/01/12/dissecting-the-acorn-vote-fraud-scam/

While there doesn't seem to be any doubt about ACORN voter fraud across many states, aside from a few political races, there really is no further evidence of entire elections being thrown by the ACORN schemes.

And it's not a matter of being left or right, but what is being done about it- or not done about it. That's what concerns me the most. Left or right, voter fraud must be one of the top priorities in a country that touts it's free & fair elections. To me, this is pretty sad when the investigations of obvious voter frauds are rarely investigated.

In other news, ACORN workers were cleared of wrong doing in Brooklyn. Wonder if this ran headlines on Fox?

Brooklyn prosecutors on Monday cleared ACORN of criminal wrongdoing after a four-month probe that began when undercover conservative activists filmed workers giving what appeared to be illegal advice on how to hide money.
While the video by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles seemed to show three ACORN workers advising a prostitute how to hide ill-gotten gains, the unedited version was not as clear, according to a law enforcement source.
"They edited the tape to meet their agenda," said the source.
O'Keefe and Giles - who visited ACORN offices in several cities, including its Brooklyn headquarters - stirred controversy when they posted the videos on their Web site.
They were hailed as heroes by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and their footage led several government agencies to temporarily cut funding for ACORN as the prosecutors opened an investigation.
"On Sept. 15, 2009, my office began an investigation into possible criminality on the part of three ACORN employees," Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said in a one-paragraph statement issued Monday afternoon.
"That investigation is now concluded and no criminality has been found."
Reaction at ACORN, which is in the process of reorganizing and is struggling to re-establish its financing, was subdued.
"Acorn is gratified that the DA has concluded something we knew all along," ACORN lawyer Arthur Schwartz said, adding it was "unfortunate" the O'Keefe and Giles used "subterfuge to convince congress and the media to vilify an organization that didn't deserve it."

I suppose it's not too surprising, given that the guy who shot the film was also recently arrested for illegal phone tampering.

Clearly it did not.

Yeah, I say that, too. He wanted that story real bad.

I assume ACORN will be suing for libel.

I assume ACORN will be suing for libel.

The best defense against libel is the truth. The truth is not in ACORN's favor, given the video evidence.

According to law enforcement, the video was faked through editing to achieve the desired lie. That would indicate premeditation to libel, obviously done to defraud the American public and influence future elections.

With expert testimony from investigators this should be a slam dunk.
