ACORN Sting. Karma is a BITCH!!!

[Drixxx]

Looks like the ACORN pranksters have opened up Pandora's box and will have quite a bit of "Splainin' to do". First of all both California and Maryland have laws against recording conversations without permission. These breaches of laws will not go unexamined.

The pranksters also claimed that nobody turned them away or objected to their soliciting of criminal behavior. At least two offices contacted police.

The pranksters also claimed to be uncovering criminal activity but when an ACORN worker confessed to murder the couple never bothered to report it to police. Apparently they weren't interested in exposing serious crime, or getting justice for a murder victim, just discrediting ACORN as an organization.

Well the pranksters are now in hiding. They bailed out on an interview with CNN once revelations of their own criminal activity had come to light. I hope these spoiled, rich, college kids who decided to go to the poor side of town to publicly hoodwink and humiliate poverty stricken people who never had the opportunities they had are lawyering up. They're going to need it.

But that's not all. Congress in their infinite wisdom to immediately defund ACORN through legislation has written a bill that will not only defund ACORN but scores of organizations such as Halliburton, KBR, Blackwater, etc. The Hot 100 of naughty organizations to be swept up in the ACORN fraud net is listed here. I virtual who's who's of the corporate right wing elite.

Did these clowns actually think they could write a bill that affects only one organization?

LOL...Mr. Nuance is here to post something stupid again.

Of these 100 contractors, the number of misconduct violations in the list fifteen years in total for the twenty-nine companies with the fewest violations would be, well, zero.

ACORN does more than that before breakfast on a weekend.

There are also 11 companies with one violation, about half of them for zero dollars though.

So tell me what's going to happen to all these companies again?

[firespin]

BTW, number 18 is "Government of the United States"...corporate right wing elite, you say?

The law is the law. Blind justice and all that. Deal with it.

Cherry pick all you want. The bottom line is fraud is fraud. If ACORN goes down for fraud so do all your right wing corporate criminals. Suck on that Spinboy!

You understand it is unconstitutional to write a law that applies to one person or organization don't you? "Justice for all" ring a bell in your cavernous cranium?

And that's the problem. It will never hold up in court. The law will apply to everyone or no one.

It won't pass Constitutional muster moron. You can't write laws that penalize specific people or organizations.

So you don't understand the difference between awarding and penalizing.
