The Devil Made Me Do It

Hat tip to Gateway Pundit for this viddie:



It isn't a comedy gig. It sure could be interpreted as one. It's classic political buffoonery. See, this guy is the national spokesman for ACORN. He's in the conservative hot-seat with Glen Beck. His organization achieved some level of national notoriety last year as report after report rolled in about voter registration fraud by ACORN.

The allegations were that the group was well funded and organized. Nothing wrong with that. They were operating in areas that statistically are packed with the demographics which favor Democratic voting. Nothing wrong with that. They were being compensated for bringing in lots of registrations. Not much wrong with that either.

They were exceptionally creative in their effort.

There were fictitious names such as Mickey Mouse and the defensive line of the Dallas Cowboys showing up. There were dead people registering. There were folks registering several times under slightly different iterations of the same name. There was simple fakery and fraud. A lot is wrong with that.

Now under fair but probing questioning by Beck this guy avers that his national organization didn't do it. It was merely some rogue employees. But Beck points out that it went well beyond allegation and resulted in guilty pleas and convictions. And it took place in fourteen different states.

Hard to believe that this guy can keep a straight face as he claims ACORN wasn't the responsible agency. Yet, he keeps up the talk-over chatter to drown out the facts which has become the characteristic defense of the politically defenseless.

Then visit the Pundit to read the rest of the story that unfolded after the show:

Whatcha Doing After the Show?

But, as they say in the Ginzu knife commercials, wait there's more!

Conyers Halts Probe While Nevada Unveils Indictments

It seems the state of Nevada has read the ACORN manuals and concludes that the national organization not only condones, but actually requires their vote registration army to break the law to do their dirty deeds. Its in the book.

Guess who the "O" administration is having direct the Mortgage bailouts for the people who cant afford their mortgages? ACORN, a coworker was talking about having an appointment with them in California next week.

Yeah trustworthy to the core those guys.

I think Beck was pretty rude, he could have accomplished his goal in a more civil fashion, but then I am not responsible for getting good ratings or making sure everything fit in that segment.
