From what I understand many times the individuals involved are charged, not ACORN or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates. By design, this allows them to maintain their innocence. Technically they are innocent by the letter of the law. They also maintain plausible deniability. These 'volunteers' get a wristslap if that, and being that they were probably students or have extremely liberal tendencies, the idea of provoking, or challenging the status-quo makes whatever penalties virtually irrelevant. In fact they may actually wear it as a badge of honor.

Is ACORN guilty? Perhaps, maybe its just a few hundred bad apples who went off on their own. Maybe they were just all overexuberant volunteers. Maybe not.

This is like the mafia, only much worse.
LMAO.....a presumption of innocence is now "squirming out" of something.

ACORN and any organization is required by law to turn all all voter registrations any staff person collects....and indicate the ones that they believe may be questionable. Which, in every case, is what ACORN did and generally fired the questionable staff.

But. of course, you dont mention that.

The fact remains that ACORN has never been charged with criminal activity...either in voter registration or housing finance advocacy.

Perhaps its probably time for you to move on to the next boogeyman......the SOCIALISTS!!!!!

Those socialists now in control will make the mafia and ACORN look like choir boys.
