READ A BIT about how they operate and how they conducted the registration drive .....READ the indictments. And we need legislation to INSURE they get OUR MONEY !
Now any government employee who has an APPARENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST is subject to prosecution but ACORN RECEIVING OUR MONEY is going to be exempt because Barney Frank wants it that way !
Wonder why Frank did not introduce legislation to insure that federal employees are innocent until proven guilty !
Listen, you can defend this group forever and NEVER EVER change my mind. I have read the indictments, their history BEFORE Malkin and others jumped on the bandwagon.
If you wish to defend them fine...do so...that is your right but someday in the near future the facts will make the MSM and you can defend them then if you wish. I, for the life of me, cannot understand it but guess that is my problem. They are what they are and your words of defense cannot change them, nor Frank's blatant use of power to insure them money.
I am sure you are overjoyed that this group is President Obama's choice to work directly for the WH during the census !

Actually, you'll have to show me where I've defended ACORN. I don't think I have. What I've defended is the idea that you can't shut down federal funding by accusing members of an organization of wrong doing, nor even if they are individually guilty of something.
The organization (ACORN or any other one) is larger than just a few employees. If the wrongdoing is widespread, or organizational, AND determined to be true by due process, then the government may decide to pull the funding.
But it's important not to be able to cut the funding of a program solely because of "charges" of wrongdoing of a few within the organization.
And that is a completely different matter than whether a federal employee should or shouldn't have to defend oneself against charges of conflict of interest.
Now if there is a defense of ACORN in there somewhere, I don't see it.
