		<description>Amy, &#160;
&#160;
Again you are completing pushing a&#160;bullshit narrative. &#160;
&#160;
First,&#160;ACORN employees&#160;where not charged with &quot;Voter&quot; fraud, but with &quot;Voter registration&quot; fraud. There is a big diference. No one is claiming that anyone actually voted fraudlently. &#160;
&#160;
Second, the victim here is ACORN itself. These workers were cheating them out of the money they paid them. &lt;strong&gt;There is absolutely no advantage for ACORN to pay people to register voters who cannot vote.&lt;/strong&gt;&#160;&#160;
&#160;
There is also absolutely no evidence that&#160;a&#160;fraudulently register voter, say&#160;Mickey Mouse, that an&#160;ACORN employee registered&#160;actually voted fradulently. If you can show me some evidence I would like to see it.&#160; &#160;
&#160;
As usual Amy you are just pushing an agenda to trash an organization that does this country plenty of good, particularly for the poor in this country. &#160;
&#160;
Why don&#039;t you write a post saying that it is a shame that these select, out of thousands, as&#160;only a very very few have been actually charged with anything, ACORN workers are cheating ACORN by not doing their jobs. ACORN is paying these people for nothing. &#160;
&#160;
It is a nice deceiving tactic by you, Amy, to melt an ACORN voter registration fraud story with a completely unrelated actual voter fraud story. The two stories have absolutely nothing to do with each other and by putting them together in this post I guess you are trying to infer that somehow ACORN is involved&#160;with actual voter fraud charges in Milwaukee. That is untrue and completely false. &#160;
&#160;
Amy, how about some intellectual honesty or has your hatred for Obama gotten so much in the way. You have just become a propagandist. </description>

Between all of these documents -- which Judical Watch is making public -- we have a shot at piecing together a comprehensive, systemic look at ACORN corruption. If it looks as bad as it appears and can be substantiated by documentation, the fact that ACORN has not been seriously investigated by the feds will be a damning indictment of the White House.

Obama Justice Dept. shut down FBI&#039;s ACORN investigationBy: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/bios/mark-hemingway.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Mark Hemingway&lt;/a&gt;
Commentary Staff Writer
Washington Examiner03/11/10 1:12 PM EST

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.judicialwatch.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Judicial Watch&lt;/a&gt; has unearthed some &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.judicialwatch.org/files/documents/2010/ACORN_FBI_docs.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;explosive new ACORN documents&lt;/a&gt; that, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.judicialwatch.org/news/2010/mar/obama-justice-department-shut-down-federal-acorn-investigation-according-documents-obt&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;according to a press release&lt;/a&gt;, show the Obama Justice Department quashed an FBI investigation of ACORN. It started when the Republican Registrars of Voters of Stamford and Bridgeport, Connecticut -- Lucy Corelli and Joseph Borges -- filed a complaint with the FBI during the 2008 election season:

According to Corelli, on August 1, 2008, her office received 1,200 ACORN voter registration cards from the Secretary of State&#8217;s office.&#160; Over 300 of these cards were rejected because of &#8220;duplicates, underage, illegible and invalid addresses,&#8221; which &#8220;put a tremendous strain on our office staff and caused endless work hours at taxpayers&#8217; expense.&#8221;&#160; Corelli claimed the total cost of the extra work caused by ACORN corruption was $20,000.&#160; Likewise, Borges contended that: &#8220;The organization ACORN during the summer of 2008 conducted a registration drive which has produced over 100 rejections due to incomplete forms and individuals who are not citizens&#8230;&#8221;&#160; Among the examples cited by Borges was a seven-year old child who was registered to vote by ACORN through the use of a forged signature and a fake birth certificate claiming she was 27-years old.
&#160;
The FBI and Department of Justice opened an investigation into the the charges. But according to documents Judical Watch obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Obama Justice Department &quot;while noting that ACORN had engaged in &#039;questionable hiring and training practices,&#039; closed down the investigation in March 2009, claiming ACORN broke no laws.&quot; Of course, as Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made a point of telling me on the phone, it is illegal to knowingly submit false voter registrations so the Justice Department&#039;s claim that ACORN didn&#039;t violate any laws is highly dubious.

But we&#039;re just getting warmed up. Judicial Watch has much more:

By contrast, the documents also include records related to a federal investigation of ACORN corruption in St. Louis, Missouri, involving 1,492 allegedly fraudulent voter registration cards submitted by Project Vote, a liberal non-profit organization affiliated with ACORN on voter registration drives, during the 2006 election season.&#160; Assistant United States Attorney Hal Goldsmith initiated the investigation with &#8220;concurrence&#8221; from the Department of Justice and the participation of the FBI.&#160; According to a Justice Department memo, Goldsmith &#8220;advised he would prosecute any individual responsible for submitting fraudulent voter registration cards.&#8221;&#160; Goldsmith identified the statute for prosecution: Title 42, USC 1973 (gg), which provides for criminal penalties for fraudulent voter registrations.&#160; In April 2008, eight former ACORN employees from the St. Louis office pled guilty to voter registration fraud.&#160;
&#160;
&#160;
The documents also encompass a fairly wide swath of information:

The ACORN documents uncovered by Judicial Watch include internal FBI memoranda, signed affidavits, subpoenas, fraudulent voter registration cards, and publications describing ACORN&#8217;s policies and practices.&#160; The documents also include details regarding numerous allegations of corruption extending beyond voter registration fraud, to include attempts by ACORN employees to coerce workers to participate in campaign activities on behalf of Democratic candidates. </description>

But according to documents Judical Watch obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Obama Justice Department &#8220;while noting that ACORN had engaged in &#8216;questionable hiring and training practices,&#8217; closed down the investigation in March 2009, claiming ACORN broke no laws.&#8221; Of course, as Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made a point of telling me on the phone, it is illegal to knowingly submit false voter registrations so the Justice Department&#8217;s claim that ACORN didn&#8217;t violate any laws is highly dubious.</p>
<p>But we&#8217;re just getting warmed up. Judicial Watch has much more:</p>
<p>By contrast, the documents also include records related to a federal investigation of ACORN corruption in St. Louis, Missouri, involving 1,492 allegedly fraudulent voter registration cards submitted by Project Vote, a liberal non-profit organization affiliated with ACORN on voter registration drives, during the 2006 election season.&nbsp; Assistant United States Attorney Hal Goldsmith initiated the investigation with &ldquo;concurrence&rdquo; from the Department of Justice and the participation of the FBI.&nbsp; According to a Justice Department memo, Goldsmith &ldquo;advised he would prosecute any individual responsible for submitting fraudulent voter registration cards.&rdquo;&nbsp; Goldsmith identified the statute for prosecution: Title 42, USC 1973 (gg), which provides for criminal penalties for fraudulent voter registrations.&nbsp; In April 2008, eight former ACORN employees from the St. Louis office pled guilty to voter registration fraud.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The documents also encompass a fairly wide swath of information:</p>
<p>The ACORN documents uncovered by Judicial Watch include internal FBI memoranda, signed affidavits, subpoenas, fraudulent voter registration cards, and publications describing ACORN&rsquo;s policies and practices.&nbsp; The documents also include details regarding numerous allegations of corruption extending beyond voter registration fraud, to include attempts by ACORN employees to coerce workers to participate in campaign activities on behalf of Democratic candidates.</p>

		<description>You know oowawa, my father played a mean trick on me when I was learning to read, he gave me his worn copy of &quot;The Devils Dictionary&quot;, by Ambrose Bierce, and even though I was too young to truly appreciate Bierce&#039;s razor sharp wit and devastating observations, I still thought the definitions were legit for a long time. Hmmmm, maybe it wasn&#039;t so mean.&#160;

Here&#039;s his take on logic and syllogisms:


LOGIC, n. The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding. The basic of logic is the syllogism, consisting of a major and a minor premise and a conclusion&#8212;thus:
&lt;i&gt;Major Premise&lt;/i&gt;: Sixty men can do a piece of work sixty times as quickly as one man.
&lt;i&gt;Minor Premise&lt;/i&gt;: One man can dig a posthole in sixty seconds; therefore&#8212;
&lt;i&gt;Conclusion&lt;/i&gt;: Sixty men can dig a posthole in one second.
This may be called the syllogism arithmetical, in which, by combining logic and mathematics, we obtain a double certainty and are twice blessed.
