ACORN RETREAT

"Bah, that's only an election. As long as our guys win, who cares?"

After hammering on the corrupt and illegal organization ACORN for years, it is satisfying to see them pay for their sins at least to some degree. The community organizing group is being attacked by its former supporters, defunded in congress, and even large organizations such as Bank of America are withdrawing former support.

Yet consider this: for over a decade, ACORN was in the forefront of voter fraud, repeatedly being busted for stuffing ballot boxes, overloading voting registration with fake cards, and paying people to fill out cards for this purpose. Over and over, every election for years they would be hit with fines, have workers arrested and put in jail, and the clear evidence of their corruption was obvious to anyone who bothered to look. All this time, support and money kept pouring in, and congress kept funding ACORN. Big business kept donating.

Now, because footage comes out of a faux pimp and whore looking for advice from several different prominent ACORN offices on how to cheat the IRS - and getting it, with support and suggestions on how to smuggle in underage girls for sex slavery - the retreat from ACORN begins.

So... let me get this straight. When ACORN is busy destroying democracy, undermining the very structures and principles of liberty, and annihilating the concept of the vote with continual fraudulent efforts to get Democrats elected no matter what laws they must break, that's perfectly acceptable.

But when the IRS is annoyed, now its time to run away?

What the hell kind of twisted standard is that? Don't tell me this is only because of the media attention, the media only paid attention because of the story, not because the information wasn't out there before. Media voices such as Rush Limbaugh talked about ACORN voter fraud before. Bill O'Reilly had former ACORN workers on his top-rated television show talking about their corruption and illegal activity. The information was out there. It was about voting and apparently nobody gave a damn that democracy its self was being destroyed. It was only when sex and the IRS got involved that people started hopping.
