Did any of those allegations you cited result in the 30+ convictions that ACORN has? Do you understand the difference between an allegation and a conviction? Did any of those alleged irregularities involve assisting in prostitution or human trafficking in under age girls? What a dumb fukk you are....

>>> Most of what happened with ACORN involved fake registrations and never resulted in vote. That is a totally irrelevant consideration. Absolutely, totally. You don't ignore an attempt to commit fraud just because it didn't run its course. Add that to the pattern of behavior that has been exhibited this week with the release of the videos (which themselves may have shown fraud, conspiracy, and any number of other laws broken), and it is clear this organization should be held to account. It seems to me their exempt status ought to be at risk as a result of some of these activities.
