On the same site you provided previously waynet, The Colorado Independent, I saw this article about the recent California Attorney General's report on the ACORN investigation by OKeefe. The Colorado Indepentent's version is a little misleading. Their article emphasis the misdeads of OKeefe and Giles.


I looked up the actual report on the California AG's website. It is very different than what the Colorado Independent site says.

According to the first three paragraphs of the California AG's press release: "California Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today released a report, including newly obtained videotapes, that shows some members of the community organizing group ACORN engaged in "highly inappropriate behavior," but committed no violation of criminal laws.

"Brown's report also uncovered "likely violations" of state law, including dumping 500 pages of confidential records into a dumpster, failure to file a 2007 tax return, and four instances of possible voter registration fraud by ACORN in San Diego in connection with the 2008 election, as well as other irregularities in the group's California operations. These irregularities have been referred to the appropriate authorities.

"A few ACORN members exhibited terrible judgment and highly inappropriate behavior in videotapes obtained in the investigation," Brown said. "But they didn't commit prosecutable crimes in California."

No offense, but consider the source when using The Colorado Independent as a source. Don't take it at face value. Use it as a springboard to study the subjects they cover and look to other sources as well. It is a spinoff of the controversial Independent Media Center who has "anti-capitalist views." It is basically Internet bloggers.
