The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

Yep, whether it's indicative of ACORN's policies or not (and 5?, I thought it was once in Baltimore and once in Brooklyn) ... but regardless, it's a true scandal that ACORN is going to have to pay the price for as an org that was already in the target sites of the right-wing establishment.

Frankly, they should disband and interested parties should re-form an organization with similar goals and stronger guidelines.



I daresay that infiltraitors with smearing in mind could pull such an "expose" on just about any organization with more than 30 employees anywhere in the United States (or the world, for that matter). But they got caught on video with their employees doing bad stuff ... and that's the death knell in many instances.


This is one of them.

Throw in San Diego, Washington, and San Bernadino.

I have no doubt that the reorganization you mention will take place.

And I agree with you that it is likely that most large organizations could be caught doing something wrong....but it doesn't get much worse than assisting with underage prostitution rings.
