Someone in ACORN is being charged with voter registration fraud, which as earlier stated, is an entirely different ball of wax. If you are going to provide links, provide something credible and substantial. Try to be a little bit honest, huh?

When was I dishonest? I even said that as it pertains to the original post I did not think it was voter fraud.

We can try different searches.

It's good to see that you know how to use Google. Now how about Googling what it actually is "ACORN VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD"?https://encrypted.google.com/search?...AAAqgQFT9C3M2I
See how it gives you credible sources for the story? And not all conspiracy theory blogs? ANd even still, giving us a link to your google search results do nothing to back up any of your allegations that ACORN as a organization is corrupt.

Yet you offer up the results your google searches "Acorn voter fraud" "Acorn illegal" Acorn corruption" as proof of ACORN corruption. Disingenuous to say the least.

While I will agree that ACORN probably did not refuse to sign up Rep voters I will bet that they did use the cool red and blue maps that anyone can have access to in order to decide where to canvass. Can I prove that? No, because I don't work for ACORN, and for some strange reason they don't make that information public, almost as if they have something to hide.

Really? One of the latest groups to adopt a new name is ACORN Housing, long one of the best-funded affiliates. Now, the group is calling itself the Affordable Housing Centers of America. ACORN affiliates rebrand after scandal - U.S. news - Life - msnbc.com
The report from the inspector general for the Department of Housing and Urban Development reviewed how ACORN Housing Corporation -- now called Affordable Housing Centers of America -- has spent federal grant money over the past two decades. The report described the group's book-keeping as "problematic and unsupported," and claimed that more than $65,000 in "ineligible" salary expenses were charged to a federal grant last year, including costs for six employees after they were terminated.

The report said more than $19 million from HUD went to the organization since 1995, and that about 80 percent of the $3.25 million received between 2008 and 2009 went toward salaries.

"For continued approval as a HUD-approved housing counseling agency and for future awards consideration, AHC must bring its operations into full compliance with applicable laws," the IG report said, recommending that it be placed on "inactive" status by the federal housing department.

Once again festus, you bring links that do absolutely nothing........ You keep to your conspiracy that ACORN is this shadowy organization of swindlers, and I'll stick with reality.

And while you keep sticking your head in the sand and ignoring the countless allegations I will trust that when I see smoke, fire normally follows. Deal?
