That is exactly what will happen. The low-level employees will be tossed overboard and the Justice Department will turn a blind eye and will decline to investigate.

ACORN is mostly a harmless bunch of idiots. They couldn't run a race much less a census.

I worked closely with them on some civil rights issues in NOLA and every case was dismissed without cause.

They consist mostly of overly enthusiastic volunteers such as civic-minded young people and wannabe civil rights leaders. They mean well but they are sorely misguided.

I'm sorry, but to call these people harmless is not only an understatement.

it's flat out wrong. They mean well? Maybe if your definition of "well" is intent

to commit and facilitate mass voter fraud. ./end

In that regard I find them no more dangerous than Florida, Ohio or Diebold.

Thanks for that, while it does say that they won't be counting, and also that no one from ACORN will be hired by the census bureau, the organization is still going to be active in many areas of the census as a partner...

some of the areas the organization applied to assist:

- Appoint a liason to work with the Census Bureau
- Identify Job Candidates and/or display recruiting materials
- Provide space to train new employees
- Provide space for BE COUNTED sites and/or Questionnaire Assistance Centers
- Organize and/or serve as a member on Complete Count Committee

to name a few...

Having them involved in any of the above does not reassure me as to the upcoming census.

This was from page 48 of this FOIA pdf from Judicial watch:

www.judicialwatch.org...

I saved that one, as it does provide some insight to how the Bureau has been handling the ACORN issue, thanks again for the fact check link that took me there



Back to the topic of this thread, I have found a complete transcript of the Baltimore ACORN sting here:

A spokesman for ACORN, Scott Levenson, when asked to comment on the videotape, said: "The portrayal is false and defamatory and an attempt at gotcha journalism. This film crew tried to pull this sham at other offices and failed. ACORN wants to see the full video before commenting further."

What else do they need to see? The video pretty much sums it up. I can't believe they think they can backpedal out of this one with claims of defamation.

Nope. They've been had fair and square. The problem with Acorn is that they have no fear because they are secure in the knowledge that Obama is in bed with them. People that have no fear are very dangerous.

S&F and I gave this a Digg.
