Not worse - pretty much on par though.
Substantiation:

In November 2006, 20,000 to 35,000 questionable voter registration forms were turned in by ACORN officials in Missouri. The workers admitted on camera that they were coached to tell registrants to vote for Democrat Claire McCaskill.

Whatever redux - this is EXACTLY what I was talking about - many of acorns members have been found GUILTY. I already said that acorn has plausible deniability. The fact that the employees or volunteers of acorn are the ones getting charged instead of acorn itself means nothing. Keep on squirming if you must.

We'll have to agree to disagree - at best.

A handful of volunteers n a few cities among the tens of thousands across the country is now "many".

And transferring the guilt to the organization w/o any evidence is acceptable to you despite no court anywhere in the country every making that finding. I understand that.

Yep...we'll just have to agree to disagree.

An honest disagreement and the "keep on squirming" nonsense adds nothing to the discussion and makes you look petty.

You're unabashed defense of acorn makes you look even more partisan than before - go figure.

BTW - The squirming was referenced to acorn originally not you.

I accept that I am probably still "one of them" in your opinion..whoever "them" are.

Thats cool.

[classicman]

That's it mister! You're on report.

My first cellar report card!

I can't believe you are still defending these scumbags from ACORN.

An ACORN Request

Call on Congress to Investigate Arizona Civil Rights Abuses

In Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been terrorizing communities for years, engaging in police brutality, forced family separation, racial profiling, slow emergency response times, unjustified arrests, inmate abuses and more. His latest action, forcing more than 200 undocumented immigrants to march through the streets in chains to a tent city surrounded by an electric fence, disregards human rights.

We can’t stand by and let Arpaio’s reign of terror continue. That’s why we are asking House Judiciary Committee Chair John Conyers to investigate Sheriff Arpaio, both in his home state of Arizona and in Washington, D.C.

I just signed a petition on the ACORN website to ask Rep. Conyers to investigate Arpaio. Please sign on to show your solidarity against terror, abuse and racism and to bring this Sheriff to justice!

Well, thats life. The facts havnt changed.

if I was not convinced by comparisons to child rapists and mafia murderers/drug kingpins, why would I find the additional characterization of "scumbags' a more compelling reason to change my mind?

We still agree to disagree.

What I have come to conclude is that trolling, emotionally charged name calling and personal attacks are a common defense mechanism here.

Then stop doing it and earn some respect.

Fixed that for you.

Welcome to the party.

Merc and Bullitt...you guys crack me up.

Merc..who repeatedly disrespects posters with some odd reference to phantom creatures of "1s and 0s" (I never saw that characterization of posters in any other political forum..I have to say it is very creative way to "justify" ignoring facts) if that phantom cites facts that contradict his posted opinion writers.

Bullitt...."Fixing" another posters quotes? Another first for me. I have never seen such practices in other political forums and I've participate in a few across the spectrum.

But I like a good party.

'Fixing' is quite common here. I use it myself to make a point or a joke from time to time. I've seen it used in other forums too.
