Rob: What Acorn claims is true. For your information... EMPLOYEES hired by ACORN to collect voter registration information were being paid on the number of registrations processed. The people that have been charged, today and previously, have stated that they falsified the documents simply to get paid more money not because the organization they worked for, told them to do so. They did it for the money period. So that you might grasp this thought.. Here is a scenario for you. Two cops employed by the New York City Police Department get charged and prosecuted for taking bribes. Does that mean the New York City Police Department is corrupt or the two cops that got busted? Get real and stop fabricating nonsense. People break the law all the time simply for money but you want people here to believe that it was because of a political agenda. What a load of crap. And to save you the trouble of accusing or stating I am a member of Acorn that is not true. Nor were the PAID EMPLOYEES that got arrested for falsifying registration documents. You just want to sensationalize crap so create your own inflammatory nonsense without checking all the facts. The fact is/was they got paid for how many registrations they turned in and falsified them for money not politics. You need to take a deep whiff of the crap your shoveling out.

Looks like Doss is well on his way to being jerked from the bench and perhaps disbarred...and I know a local attorney that might make the disbarrment trip with him.

There have been conspiracy theories around every historical event of significance. In fairness to Old Guard, there was discussion of Roosevelt having prior knowledge that the Pearl Harbor attack was going to happen and allowing it to happen to force the US into the war. I personally don't believe that, but that one has been around pretty much since 1941.
I think it's human nature. That, and the fact that governments are generally not known for honesty and full disclosure.

Yet another series of arrests of ACORN members for voter fraud:
"Arrest warrants have been issued in Miami for 11 people suspected of falsifying information on hundreds of voter registration cards -- including registering the name of the late actor Paul Newman -- the Florida state attorney's office told FOXNews.com.
The FBI and state authorities took six people into custody Wednesday as it issued 11 arrest warrants for voter registration fraud in Homestead, Fla., in June 2008.
"Names were filled out on the registration forms that were not actual voters," said Ed Griffith, a spokesperson for the state attorney's office. Griffith said the names included people who were already registered voters, fictitious names, and the name of the late actor Paul Newman, who died in Sept. 2008.
Charges of falsifying information on voter registration cards before last year's presidential election

Of course, Acorn is alleging these workers comitted these acts on their own. Funny how there are now hundreds of "isolated" cases of fraud all across the country comitted by Acorn members.

It is a "hate crime" and from the US Justice Department website:
On May 3, 2007, the House of Representatives passed the Matthew Shepard Act (officially, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007, or LLEHCPA) which would expand existing United States federal hate crime law to include crimes motivated by a victim's actual or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability, and which would drop the prerequisite that the victim be engaging in a federally-protected activity. The 2007 bill expands on the earlier versions (originally called the Local Law Enforcement Enhancement Act) by including transgender provisions.

NamVet, the liberals are using the same language Van Jones did in his resignation letter. "Smear campaign" is a popular phrase. The admin, and their followers don't care if Jones is on video regarding every one of the accusations against him. They believe if they say it enough times, it will become the truth and enough people will buy into it. Same thing they blame the previous admin for. They conveniently forget the resolution they tried to pass preventing Bush Sr. from addressing schools--but we are monsters for opposing Obama's speach. Whatever behavious fits the moment and is popular with the party belief system is what they choose to spew.

I don't know what history book you have but as far as I know there was only about 2900 who died on 9/11 and the Japanese were provoked by the US stand against their capture and shocking treatment of the Koreans and Chinese in the 1920's and 30's.

Robot - When a critique of someone's record is as well organized and parroted as the smear campaign against Van Jones has been, its almost always dishonest. People like Van Jones have accomplished a lot more for the American Way than anyone who has ever sought the assistance of Big Media, and he's done it all purely on a grass-roots level. this fact ought to illustrate his courage: he was once arrested on false charges, and fought so hard that he won a lawsuit against the police that arrested him. if you were arrested on false charges, rob the robot, you would probably plead guilty and ask for the heaviest sentence possible - just because the ones with the authority in this country simply can never be wrong in your 8-year-old mind.
