ACORN Cleared YET AGAIN of Wrongdoing...

Earlier this month, a two-month independent investigation of ACORN, by former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger, found incidents of mismanagement, but no criminal wrongdoing by ACORN, the favorite whipping boy of Republican scammers such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Fox "News" and the GOP itself. That investigation also found that the "sting videos" used recently against ACORN were doctored and manipulated.

And today, once again, ACORN is cleared of wrongdoing vis a vis yet another independent investigation, this one by the Congressional Research Service, as noted in a press release from U.S. House Judiciary Chair John Conyers this afternoon (posted in full at the link below).

Of most note to our readers, Conyers' statement points out what we've been pointing out - over and over and over again for years: "There were no instances of individuals who were allegedly registered to vote improperly by ACORN or its employees and who were reported 'attempting to vote at the polls.'" Who knew?! What a surprise!...

1. I hope ACORN emerges stronger, richer and more effective than ever......

..... Poetic justice for the lying Reich-wing, foaming-at-the-mouth, rabid racist dogs.

5. Unfortunately....

FACTS have never been a particular persuasive argument against any particular wingnut disinformation campaign.

I'm afraid the ACORNing of ACORN, and anyone else who gets in the way of rightwing tea baggery is likely to continue as long as they have a pliant media over which they can catapult the propaganda.

2. Write your local newspaper with this info....

People do read the letters to the editor. Just distill it down to those two facts, no wrongdoing by ACORN and right wing "sting videos" were doctored.

3. The GOP kooks-n-nuts will come up with some reason to think this investigation is also a lie.

Just wait. It'll be coming... :eyes:
