Nutty Attacks On ACORN

In recent weeks, conservatives have escalated their attacks on ACORN,
the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
Conservative lawmakers were able to remove a provision aimed at aiding
low-income housing programs from the Bush administration’s $700
billion economic bailout bill by calling it a "slush fund" for ACORN.
Before that, conservatives blamed ACORN for "precipitating the
subprime crisis." And last week, they alleged that the "purpose" of
ACORN is to engage in voter fraud. However, as columnist Joel McNally
correctly noted, the "underlying motive for attacking ACORN" seems to
be that it is the "nation's largest grassroots community organization
of low- and moderate-income people." "It is an organization that
engages in that dreaded community organizing," McNally wrote. "It
actually tries to give a voice to the poor and most vulnerable among
us." Indeed, after years of enacting policies catering to the wealthy,
the right-wing seems to be fearful of millions of new low-income
voters registered by ACORN casting their ballots in favor of
progressive policies.

VOTER 'FRAUD': In early October, ACORN announced that it had
registered 1.3 million new voters for the November election. Seizing
on reports of apparently fraudulent voter registrations in some
states, conservatives began claiming that the "purpose" of ACORN is to
commit "voter fraud." However, all that was found during a raid of
ACORN's office in Nevada was apparently fraudulent voter registration
forms, which do not constitute voter fraud. "It's not voter fraud
unless someone shows up at the voting booth on election day and tries
to pass himself off as 'Tony Romo.'" And who would try to do that?"
wrote Rep. Jesse Jackson (D-IL). As New York University's Brennan
Center for Justice noted, "[T]here are no reports that we have
discovered of votes actually cast in the names of [false]
registrants." Under most state laws, in fact, voter registration
organizations like ACORN are required to turn in all the forms they
receive, even the suspicious ones. Furthermore, as Brad Friedman
pointed out in the Guardian, "[I]f [ACORN] can't authenticate the
registration, or it's incomplete or questionable in other ways, they
flag that form as problematic...In almost every case where you've
heard about fraud by Acorn, it's because Acorn itself notified
officials about the fraud that's been perpetrated on them by rogue
canvassers."

THE ECONOMIC CRISIS: Before alleging that it was engaging in voter
fraud, conservatives claimed that ACORN was responsible for the
subprime crisis and the ensuing financial meltdown. Stanley Kurtz
wrote in the National Review that ACORN "had a major role in
precipitating the subprime crisis," and then said in the New York Post
that ACORN helped "undermine the US economy by pushing the banking
system into a sinkhole of bad loans." Thomas DiLorenzo claimed that
ACORN forced lenders to make bad loans to low-income people "through a
process that sounds like legalized extortion." However, the claim that
ACORN -- or loans to low-income people in general -- caused the
financial crisis by enabling lower-income families to buy homes has
been debunked again and again. As Daniel Gross wrote in Newsweek,
"[D]id AIG plunge into the credit-default swaps business with abandon
because ACORN members picketed its offices? Please." Most economists
blame the current crisis on market failure and sparse regulation, but
conservatives are attempting to draw attention elsewhere by smearing
the victims of predatory lending and implicating ACORN.

A LONG-RUNNING CAMPAIGN: Last Friday, conservative members of Congress
"sent a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey requesting the
Department of Justice ensure that the actions of ACORN did not violate
federal laws." But conservatives have gone down this road before, only
to find nothing. In 2004, ACORN faced three lawsuits pertaining to
alleged voter fraud, all of which were dismissed. As noted at the
time, "several politically motivated law firms brought baseless
charges of voter registration fraud against ACORN in an effort to
inhibit its work to register low-income and minority voters." But the
Bush administration was so intent on furthering these trumped-up
charges of voter fraud that in 2006 attorneys from the Department of
Justice -- including New Mexico's David Iglesias -- were fired for not
pursuing fraud cases "to the satisfaction of their bosses." Revealing
the shallowness of the conservative outrage though, the New York Times
reported last week that "tens of thousands of eligible voters in at
least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been
blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law."
This has garnered scant attention compared to the uproar surrounding
ACORN

What massive voter fraud? Workers at ACORN are apparently turning in
incomplete registration forms (incidentally as required by law in most
states) and also either those filling out the forms or ACORN workers are
making up fraudulent voters. Neither subset i.e. those who claim to be
George dumbya Bushleague or names added by ACORN workers are going to get
to vote based just on the registration, so logically, where is the massive
voter fraud you're proclaiming by ACORN?

You *do* realize that ACORN, like all other groups doing voter
registration, are required, by law, to submit ALL voter registration
applications they receive?

You *do* realize that you need to demonstrate that people have illegally
voted using these fraudulent registrations before your pathetic whines
will be taken seriously, don't you?

And you *do* realize McCain is a friend of ACORN, too, don't you?

And that when ACORN comes across apparently defective registrations,
they themselves report it to the authorities.

There's really little risk that fraudulent registrations will lead to
voter fraud. I doubt the officials at the polling place are going to let
someone signing in as "Mickey Mouse" vote. And if duplicate
registrations occur, the officials will catch it if someone tries to
vote twice under that name.

Also, despite unceasing claims by Republicans, very little real vote
fraud - someone intentionally voting illegally - is committed. Even the
Republican U.S. attorneys who were fired by Alberto "Speedy" Gonzales
couldn't find actual examples of vote fraud.

Yes, folks... These liberal fools ARE this stupid.

Just because Obama gives ACORN $800,000 from his own campaign to "get
out the vote", doesn't mean ACORN really wants to "get out the vote".
They just want to register "voters". They really don't think their
"voters" will actually vote.

Yea, you have to be really dumb to believe what the liberal fools are
trying to say about "voter fraud".

More proof that liberals are truly stupid creatures.

And you have to fall for normal right wing propaganda to believe that people
who try to register to vote as Mickey Mouse or don't fill out an entire
form are going to get to vote. It's really bizarre to find folks who live
in states which require lots of ID to vote at least the first time, are
worried because faulty voter registration forms are submitted. I hate to
tell you this, but unless the alleged phony voters can come up with the
proper ID, they don't get to vote. Of course, even in the old days when
you didn't have to produce any ID, such folk normally didn't get to vote,
since the local poll workers detected such things.

OK, fine, you have a problem with ACORN, now explain how it will affect the
election.

Mickey Mouse is probably the one example that would not be allowed. Now
that democrats have successfully gotten rid of the picture id requirements
in most states, they have enabled the kind of voter fraud that they wanted
all along (with ACORN providing the setup). If they register Terrell Owens
in one precinct, and a guy shows up and says he's Owens, he votes without
needing to show an id. Then if he goes to the next precinct and votes as
Dion Saunders, he's Dion Saunders. They register fake people after removing
the one check that could prevent from actually voting. If anyone wondered
why democrats were against picture ids for voting, they can't be wondering
anymore...

And as the Republican U.S. attorneys and a number of studies have found,
this happens very rarely.

If you have evidence otherwise, instead of just your fevered delusions,
let's see it.

"The Truth About Voter Fraud

As the 2008 election process draws near -- and with early voting in
many states having already begun -- conservatives are raising a great
hue and cry about the threat of voter fraud. Attacks have centered on
the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the


"nation's largest grassroots community organization of low- and

moderate-income people," whose workers have registered 1.3 million new
voters this year. Conservatives like Rep. Tom Feeney (R-FL) and former
Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell have seized on reports of
improperly filled-out forms as evidence of "lawlessness" and "voting
fraud," which will lead to "the kind of chaos you expect from a
category-five hurricane." But mass voter fraud is just a conservative
myth used to justify increasing the difficulty of the voting process.
In an interview with Salon, Lori Minnite, a professor of political
science at Barnard College who investigated allegations of widespread
voter fraud, explained, "From 2002 to 2005 only one person was found
guilty of registration fraud. Twenty people were found guilty of
voting while ineligible and five people were found guilty of voting
more than once. That's 26 criminal voters -- voters who vote twice,
impersonate other people, vote without being a resident ... Meanwhile
thousands of people are getting turned away at the polls."

COMPLEX AND ONEROUS RULES: Although the United States has a long and
dark history of voter disenfranchisement and voter suppression, recent
laws passed at the state and federal level have focused instead on the
vaporous threat of voter fraud. These laws particularly discourage the
poor and the young. Because voting, even for federal elections, is
regulated by state law and administered at the local level, there is
no consistent standard for voting machines, ballot design, the
counting of provisional ballots, or voter identification. The 2002
Help America Vote Act (HAVA) requires that "any voter who has not
previously voted in a federal election" must provide a form of ID.
But "twenty-four states have broader voter identification requirements
than what HAVA mandates" -- seven require photo ID for all voters, and
17 more require some form of ID. In April, the U.S. Supreme Court
upheld Indiana's draconian photo ID law that could disenfranchise as
many as 400,000 voters, although Indiana Secretary of State Todd
Rokita "conceded the state has never presented a case of 'voter
impersonation.'" In his dissent, Justice David Souter compared
Indiana's unjustified regulations to a poll tax, "because it
correlates with no state interest so well as it does with the object
of deterring poorer residents from exercising the franchise."

MASS DISENFRANCHISEMENT AND INTIMIDATION: Last week, the New York
Times reported that "[t]ens of thousands of eligible voters in at


least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been
blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law."

Last Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy issued a scathing
order Wednesday "lambasting the Montana Republican Party for
challenging the registrations of thousands of Montana voters,"
writing, "The timing of these challenges is so transparent that it
defies common sense to believe the purpose is anything but political
chicanery." On Sunday, the Ohio Republican Party "requested
information on voters who registered to vote and cast an early ballot
on the same day," not long after Greene County Sheriff Gene Fischer
requested registration information -- including driver's license and
Social Security numbers -- "for the 302 voters who took advantage of
the window in that county, which has five colleges and universities,
including two historically black colleges." In Indiana, state NAACP
president Barbara Bolling said voters in three northern cities "are
being disenfranchised each day they can't cast ballots at their local
clerk's offices," after "two Republicans on the Lake County Election
Board voted against the sites last month, contending in-person
absentee voting makes vote fraud easier." In Colorado, the El Paso
county clerk Bob Balink has engaged in an "emerging and consistent
pattern" of purging voter rolls and challenging inaccurate
registration information as "election fraud."

ROVE'S FINGERPRINTS: The Department of Justice, whose responsibilities
include ensuring the right to fair elections, was subverted by the
Bush administration to pursue the false threat of voter fraud. In
2002, former attorney general John Ashcroft announced an initiative
that required "all components of the Department" to "place a high
priority on the investigation and prosecution of election fraud." The
2006 purge of eight U.S. attorneys -- all lifelong Republicans -- at
the behest of the Bush White House exposed the depths of this
politicization. The White House justified the dismissals by telling
reporters, "President Bush mentioned to Attorney General Alberto R.
Gonzales in October that he had heard complaints from Congress that
some federal prosecutors were lax in pursuing voter fraud." As the
Washington Post reported last year, "Nearly half the U.S. attorneys
slated for removal by the administration last year were targets of
Republican complaints that they were lax on voter fraud, including
efforts by presidential adviser Karl Rove to encourage more
prosecutions of election-law violations," Rove has made it his
specialty to raise the specter of vote fraud throughout his political
career, from his days working on state races in Alabama."

The night was black, rain fallin' down
Looked for A_gent Smif, it's nowhere around
Traced its footsteps down to the shore
'fraid it's gone forever more

I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
"I took A_gent Smif from you away.
I heard a voice cryin' in the soup
"Come join me, blackie, in my endless loop.

Why did we quarrel, why did we fight?
Why did I leave it alone at night?
That's why its footsteps ran into the sea
That's why A_gent Smif has gone from me.

How would anyone really know how often it happens. Once cast, the ballots
cannot be tied to any voter because they are secret ballots. Why not have
picture id so no one has to wonder how "rare" it is? The answer is because
you want to enable the fraud to occur because you know which party is
benefiting.

Commercial organizations such as banks typically do not try to
authenticate the identity of a person, but rather the validity of a
transactions (e.g. by signature or pin number) due to the acknowledged
difficulty in reliably identifying an individual in a fraud proof and
convenient manner.

It has been argued that identity cards impose a disproportionate
burden upon both government and citizens while empowering the
executive, which is contrary to the maxim: "the government that
governs best, governs least". Some have pointed out that extensive
lobbying for identity cards has been undertaken, in countries without
compulsory identity cards, by IT companies who will be likely to reap
rich benefits in the event of an identity card scheme being
implemented.

Cards with centralised database could be used to track anyone's
movements and private life, thus endangering privacy. The proposed
British ID card (see next section) will involve a series of linked
databases, to be managed by the private sector. Managing disparate
linked systems using a range of institutions and any number of
personnel is alleged to be a security disaster in the making.[7]

A requirement to carry an identity card at all times can lead to the
inconvenience of arbitrary requests from card controllers (such as the
police). This can lead to functionality creep whereby carrying a card
becomes de facto if not de jure compulsory, as in the case of Social
Security numbers, which are now widely used as ID.
Government claims that identity cards will prevent crimes may not be
based in fact. The former UK Home Secretary Charles Clarke conceded
that identity cards may only be useful in the identification of bodies
in the aftermath of a crime. As a strong presumption of identity is
given in favour of a card holder, the identity card scheme might be an
asset to potential terrorists.

In many cases, other forms of documentation such as a driver's
license, passport, or Medicare card serve a similar function on a more
limited scale, and thus an ID card is not needed.

The cost of introducing and administering an identity card system can
be very high. Figures from �30 (US$60) to �90 or even higher have been
suggested for the proposed UK ID card.[8]

In some countries where ID cards were required to show religious
affiliation (as used to be the case in Greece) or ethnic background,
this led to cases of discrimination. Under some interpretations of
Sharia law, apostate Muslims may be sentenced to death. Malaysia's
identity cards only state the religion if a person's religion is
Islam. This can become a bureaucratic nightmare or even lead to death
when a person changes his or her affiliation.
Some schemes do not adequately take into account whether data subjects
have legitimate reasons to conceal their identity. Victims of domestic
violence, witnesses in criminal investigations and trials, and others,
may not want their identity or locations to be widely known. Some
proposed schemes also do not adequately address these considerations.
http://www.fullidentity.com/

ID cards could lead to an increase in identity fraud since it would
lead to official reliance on a card or document that can be forged. No
country has ever successfully produced a totally unforgeable ID card.
Also stolen ID cards have also been used for identity fraud. Some
countries have no expiration time, so that the photos can be old and
unreliable, making stolen cards easier to use.

Rather than focus on government-issued ID cards, federal policy has
the alternative to encourage the variety of identification systems
that exist in the private marketplace today. Many of the private
systems already provide better assurance of identity and
trustworthiness than many government-issued ID cards.[9]

Y'know, mh, the Right's doing everything it can to whip up "voter
fraud" paranoia! But the math just doesn't add up.

Accusations of widespread voter fraud have been disproved time and
time again. Yet Fox News, Lou Dobbs and the McCain-Palin campaign
continue to equate inaccurate or incomplete information on
registration forms with a vast conspiracy to have people vote
illegally (a conspiracy that would be logistically impossible to pull
off)... distracting from the Right's truly dangerous efforts to purge
valid voters from the rolls.

We can't let the Right get away with this! We need your help to expose
the truth and stop the Right's efforts before it's too late. Already
this year, we have seen the extent to which the Right will go to
impact the election:

In Michigan, the state GOP had planned to challenge the voting
eligibility of victims of home foreclosures... they've since backed
off those efforts (publicly, at least) thanks to pressure brought by
groups like People For.

In Montana, the state Republican party moved to challenge 6,000
registrations in Democratic-leaning counties (Republican Party
Executive Director Jacob Eaton said they were trying to guard against
"voter fraud")... they ultimately dropped the challenge thanks again
to the generation of attention to the matter.

And a right-wing report alleging that up to 333,000 noncitizens may be
registered to vote in Texas was just thoroughly debunked by an
investigation by county elections administrators saying there is NO
evidence of widespread voter fraud.

But you can help People For the American Way fight for a clean and
fair election!

We've been out front in exposing these egregious attempts by the Right
to challenge eligible voters. In many cases, sunlight has been the
best disinfectant -- and we've succeeded in stopping the efforts
before harm could be done.

People For the American Way and People For the American Way Foundation
are making sure poll workers are armed with the facts and empowered to
stand up to vote challengers on Election Day. People For the American
Way Foundation has already completed 22 major trainings around the
country and is currently engaged in statewide poll worker trainings
that will reach thousands of poll workers in eight key states.

People For Foundation has distributed thousands of voter ID toolkits,
voter ID flyers and other voting materials and will be reaching tens
of thousands of voters with voter ID palm cards in the most critical
states where voter suppression efforts are taking place.

THERE ARE ONLY 19 DAYS LEFT! Help expose the "voter fraud" myth for
what it is: a distraction from the Right's despicable tactics of voter
intimidation and direct challenges to tens of thousands of eligible
voters.


-- Kathryn Kolbert, President

P.S. Fox News has been hammering the "voter fraud" message constantly,
and it's fitting that one of the main "experts" they've been
interviewing is Hans Von Spakovsky, a Bush administration official who
has made an entire career out of figuring out ways to deny voters
ballot access. It reiterates that what we're up against is a
coordinated effort that includes the entire right-wing media echo
chamber as well as the current administration.

You appear to be another stupid liberal fool, based on your post.

For the normal folks, the ACORN socialistic scum want to flood the
election officials with tons of "new:" applicants, expecting hundreds,
maybe thousands of their fraudulent registrations to be allowed,
giving the ACORN members multiple chances for multiple votes. They
have no moral code, so screwing the citizens of the USA is no problem
for them. And the nearest flea market could furnish you with whatever
ID you wanted, for cheap!

I think we need a hunting season for the anti-American socialists.
Kill a few of them, and they will go back into hiding for a while. I'd
pay $250 for a hunting license with two socialist tags. We could help
our government increase their income. I'm betting they could sell
hundreds of thousands of those licenses. {do the math!}

One more time, where is the evidence that people are getting to vote with
phony ID? I suspect you can't provide any, there is little verified voter
fraud and the easiest way to have fraudulent votes is to have lots of
absentee votes. Not only can the dead vote, so can the non-existent.

So should the state be responsible for providing verifiable ID? How do
folks like the retired nuns in Indiana get to vote under any scheme you set
up? Finally, the biggest source of potential fraud is the absentee ballot.
You cannot ask for ID before giving or getting an absentee ballot, yet you
fail to address the easiest way to produce lots of vote fraud essentially
undetected.

ACORN, which has been held out as a bogeyman for voter fraud (though
only 26 TOTAL cases of voter fraud were prosecuted nationwide from
2002 - 2005), has bad registration rates below the California
Republican Party's and a lawsuit alleging fraud in 2004 was dismissed
by a judge for lack of merit?

Good for you, there are folks who believe that the earth is flat too, that
doesn't mean said folks aren't ignoring contrary data. You are ignoring
contrary data and relying on sources not exactly known for accuracy.

The burden is on you to prove that what you claimed had at least some
relationship to reality. If you cannot, that's all that need be said.
Telling me to google some topic makes little logical sense. You stated it
was there.

The other point is that your claim you want to investigate my skills is
irrelevant. If you cannot provide support for your claims, then you lack
even the support you credit to "left-wing" "nut-case" sites.

base 4 actually doesn't work either. You didn't specify a base and your

Let's see, the right wing insisted that less regulation would improve the
US. Further, we were told that cutting taxes invariably improves an
economy even when the government is being required to spend more. It was
claimed either there was too much taxation or just the right amount. The
possibility of not enough was never considered.

Binary choice systems only work if there are only two possible answers. If
you are asking the equivalent of what color a yellow flower is while
limiting the choices to black or white, you get wrong answers and
approximations that really do not make sense.

Except that black/white choice was never offered. The only choice
offered was the obvious one. And the correct answer was 2+2 = 4, all
ten times. You, being a liberal, cannot understand that basic concept.

Yes you did, you offered a binary choice when the options were infinite.
Even you admit that up until base 4, the answer isn't 4. Thus there are
more than two options, sorry but your logic skills are apparently lacking.
You're trying to prove your statement when it's already been rebutted. If
you mean base 10 or base 12, state so!

There is NO DOUBT that every effort by the Republican Party, to
suppress the vote of the poor, and oppressed, can be documented. The
propaganda, and LIES, used to distort the activity of ACORN may work
on some. Anyone who has the ability to research the situation can come
to no other conclusion than that suppression, and denial of
constitutional rights is the goal of degenerate Republican
politicians!!!

The problem for you is that I did NOT lie. I stated bluntly using base 3 or
4, the answer would not be 4, and that answer remains correct. You didn't
like it and began ranting. That's your problem to deal with.

Yes, folks, these liberal morons are incredibly ignorant of the ACORN
fraudulent voter registrations and how the ACORN anti-American scum
get those intentionally fraudulent forms.

It's not John's fault. His brain is not wired up correctly. Otherwise
he could easily see the fraud being committed by ACORN on our voter's
registration process.

There you go, again, Mike, proving the point so many of us make, over
'n' over again, regarding your ineptitude.

Getting back to the topic,

The Facts:

- ACORN has helped 1.3 million citizens from all parties and all walks
of life apply for voter
registration.

- In most states, ACORN is required by law to turn in every voter
registration card - even in cases where the cards are not valid.

- It is ACORN that has reported almost all of the issues regarding
voter registration cards.

- Invalid voter registration cards do NOT constitute voter fraud. Even
RNC General Counsel
Sean Cairncross has recently acknowledged he is not aware of a single
improper vote cast as a
result of bad cards submitted in the course of an organized voter
registration effort.

- ACORN hired 13,000 field workers to register people to vote. In any
endeavor of this size,
some people will engaged in inappropriate conduct. ACORN has a zero
tolerance policy and
terminated any field workers caught engaging in questionable activity.
At the end of the day, as ACORN is paying these people to register
voters, it is ACORN that is defrauded.

As for fraud, let's consider REAL FRAUD as Obama Demands Special
Prosecutor Investigate GOP Voter Fraud Activities, 17 Oct 2008.
Charging that the FBI probe of ACORN represents an "unholy alliance"
between Republican operatives and potentially illegal conduct by law
enforcement targeting voter fraud, the Obama campaign demanded Friday
that the U.S. special prosecutor looking into the U.S. attorneys
scandal investigate the matter. General counsel Bob Bauer sent a
letter to Atty. Gen. Michael Mukasey charging that coordinated
"misconduct" by McCain campaign representatives and GOP officials were
relevant to the special prosecutor’s work, because the activities may
relate to the dismissal of seven U.S. attorneys in late 2006.

This is a great example of your ignorance. It has no meaning when
there is an organized effort to create as many fraudulent
registrations as possible.

This is where your lack of any known logic is extremely evident. If
you could add 2+2 and come up with 4 on a consistent basis, you would
know the ONLY reason for turning in hundreds of thousands of
fraudulent registrations is so fraudulent people could vote multiple
times. Overload the system, in hopes of getting hundreds of fictitious
voters registered. There is simply no other explanation that makes any
sense.

Here's your facts from my links:

So, less than a week before the midterm elections, four workers from
Acorn, the liberal activist group that has registered millions of
voters, have been indicted by a federal grand jury for submitting
false voter registration forms to the Kansas City, Missouri, election
board.

Investigators are looking into at least 2,100 possible bogus voter
applications in Indiana alone

allegations of fraud have tainted Acorn voter drives across the
country. Acorn workers have been convicted in Wisconsin and Colorado,
and investigations are still under way in Ohio, Tennessee and
Pennsylvania.

After the federal indictments were handed up in Kansas City this week,
the U.S. Attorney's office said in a statement that "This national
investigation is very much ongoing."

During a Congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004
election, officials from several counties in the state explained
Acorn's practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their
lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been
collected months earlier.

"You have to wonder what's the point of that, if not to overwhelm the
system and get phony registrations on the voter rolls," says Thor
Hearne of the American Center for Voting Rights, who also testified at
the hearing. "These were Democratic officials saying that they felt
their election system in Ohio was under assault by these kinds of
efforts to game the system."

A Florida state attorney is
investigating thousands of potentially fraudulent voter registrations
associated with the leading organizer of Florida's Amendment 5 ballot
initiative. But this is just the tip of an iceberg of illegalities,
fraud and contradictions connected to the Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). In recent days, ACORN has been
at the epicenter of reports on thousands of potentially fraudulent
voter registrations across the nation -- including many by ex-felons
-- submitted by ACORN employees in the presidential swing states of
Ohio, Colorado, Missouri Pennsylvania, New Mexico and Minnesota.

Former ACORN Miami-Dade field director Mac Stuart has declared an
intent to sue ACORN and has made charges of rampant voter fraud
operations. Stuart was employed and specifically tasked by ACORN to
generate 103,000 new voter registrations from Dade County. He reports
that ACORN threw out Republican registrations while paying for
Democratic ones. Stuart also charges that ACORN targeted ex-cons and
that he personally set up registration tables outside the Miami police
department and Dade County jail. He went on to state, "The voter
registration project has been operating illegally since it started."

So I'm wondering just how many facts this liberal imbecile needs? How
much "real data" is enough data for this bird brain?

So then what happened? In the Kansas City case, the story was from
2006, have the defendants been tried yet? What was the outcome? What
significant damage was done to the electoral process, A_gent Smif?

It sounds like ADD is another one of your undocumented features, A_gent
Smif. Here you are in pursuit of the wild fowl and there is important
work spreading GOP manure still to be done. focus, concentrate, and
don't forget your meds, DUDE!

No, fool, I snipped excess verbiage and only included enough to indicate
what I was responding to. Perhaps your usenet skills are as lacking as
your social skills, but note the following statement by you on 16 October
2008:

"You are the imbecile that injected base 2 & base 3 into a simple math
question. You have clearly demonstrated your lack of any basic
critical thought skills.

No right answer, no wrong answer... liberal & socialist leaders need
lots of people like you, if they ever hope to gain the power they want
over normal folks & your kind of folks."

You implicitly conceded that base 2 and 3 would not produce an answer of "4"
when adding 2 and 2. Guess you need to consider what you're writing when
you're throwing around personal insults. Once again, you demonstrate a
lack of adaptability and thinking skills. Further, your short-term memory
apparently has problems too.

For a short time, and without much effort, I've considered what it is
that makes A_gent Smif and his other brother Trace/Tracey/Tracey12 so,
ah, um, "special."

I think I may have a clue, it came to me listening to a "Speaking of
Faith" episode on Autism: http://tinyurl.com/64v29y

What they have in common (besides, probably, glossolalia) is delayed
echolalia which is defined as "...the "echoing of a phrase after some
delay or lapse of time". Persons with autism who repeat TV commercials,
favorite movie scripts, or parental reprimands are examples used in
describing this phenomenon. It may or may not be communicative.

"This condition appears to tap into long-term auditory memory, and for
this reason, may be a different phenomenon from immediate echolalia. As
it can involve the recitation of entire scripts, delayed echolalia is
often mistaken as evidence for higher-than-average intellect."

So, working backward, don't mistake either of them for evidence of
higher-than-average intellect, just consider that - beyond their
ability to control it - all they can do is repeat what they've heard.

No, I didn't concede anything. I was ridiculing your dumbassed

Only in your fantasies could you even remotely "think" that you know
more about investigations than I do, based on your completely asinine
conclusions about ACORN's actions.

Could you at least try to come up with some sort of an example that is
even remotely associated with the ACORN voter fraud?

Of course you cannot.

Multitudes? fictionalizing the problem again, I see...

Yep, those nasty republicans influenced banks and mortgage companies
to give loans to people too poor to pay for those loans... Oh wait...
It wasn't republicans, it was those dumbassed democrats and their
"everyone must be equal" nonsense.

Yeas, except for reality, you might have been right...

Free clue: It all cratered when Democrats took over our Congress and
they chose known socialists to run Congress.

Quick question, if you add 2 +2 in base 3, what answer do you get? For that
matter if you 2+2 in base 4 what answer do you get? If you cannot get 4,
you've proved your lack of logical thinking, if you can, you've
demonstrated how little intelligence you have.

You either conceded the answer was not "4" or you proved you are an idiot.

I gave you an analogy of what you are doing. It's not my fault you miss the
point.

Incidentally, using your logic, the republican party of California is
responsible for voter fraud too because one individual was arrested for
vote fraud, right?

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-fraud20-2008oct20,0,3842357.story

Note, I wouldn't claim that but using your approach to logic, it is!

No, ACORN did not workers hired by ACORN are so accused. There is a
difference.
