Oh my JOS, defending ACORN? I honestly expected better from you. You say that because nobody heard of the organization a few years ago, we shouldn't be concerned about it now? That's ridiculous. We should be finding out as much as we can about these crooks, and all of the other crooks that take tax money and misuse it to their own political ends.
You're misreading what I'm saying, daryl. I'm not saying don't investigate because nobody had heard of them. I'm saying that the only reason they're under scrutiny now is because of politics. Had Obama not worked for them, they'd still be unheard of.
The arguement that if Obama were a Republican that conservatives would love the guy....equally ludicrous. It's his policies, his beliefs, and his questionable actions that are so disliked.
Obviously his policies were not what I was talking about. I was referring to his backstory. If his policies agreed with yours you'd love the guy and conservatives would trumpet his story as an example of what hard work can do.
Quite simply, you also can't prove that the employees DIDN'T act at the behest of their superiors.
And thanks to the genius of our forefathers, I don't have to. The burden isn't on the accused to prove their innocence. Only in hiroad's "socialist/communist" fantasies is that the case.
