Totally serious. I've read loads and loads about this topic. I happen to be fascinated by people whipping themselves into a frenzy about political topics when they feel impotent. The "case" against ACORN is partisan nonsense based on disingenuous "evidence".

Talking of being serious or not. I actually thought your OP was a pastiche/satire of the 'Anti-ACORN' ...[text shortened]... 5th or 6th post. I thought maybe it was a send up of the ACORN-makes-me-so-mad syndrome.

oh my friend,what am i gonna do w/you?🙂 personally speaking I am not impotent nor do I feel that way. Also,I am not a conservative or a republican. there is more evidence than you think though. only time will tell.

OK, if I've got your motivations wrong, I am happy to backpeddle. As for discussing it now, I am all burnt out really. The way the 'right' tried to fabricate something out of this in the run up to the election was interestingly pathetic and revealing. I remember right wing media banging on about how ACORN was trying to get Mickey Mouse registered - while studiously NOT reporting the fact that it was ACORN who reported the Mickey Mouse thing, and how it was ACORN who prevented Mickey Mouse from registering - the complete opposite of what anti-ACORN people wanted you to believe. Added to this was the fact that Micky Mouse is unable to vote, even if he is "registered". Added to which, considering the whole Disney thing, Mickey Mouse is almost certainly a Republican and incoherently anti-ACORN himself. I've had enough of all this nonsense. Apologies. The floor is yours.

I am under the impression it's not corrupt at all.

The "right's" obsession, deception and self-deception over this organization is symptomatic of the deep hole the whole Republican-Right-Wing movement is in after the cataclysm of Bush-Cheney.

I watched O'reilly, and I thought it was reasonable.

whereas hannity was just an a-hole.

There are a couple things here and there that I have agreed with O'Reilly on, which I agree puts him higher on the totem pole than Hannity.

O'Reilly does take part in more arsehattery than I find tasteful though.
