A lawyer involved with legal action against Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) told a House Judiciary subcommittee on March 19 The New York Times had killed a story in October that would have shown a close link between ACORN, Project Vote and the Obama campaign because it would have been a “a game changer

A game changer? Well, we sure wouldn’t want integrity to get in the way of getting your candidate into office, now would we?

Gay mafia sticking up for one of their own again. They are a tight-knit bunch.

[SERKIT]

Didn’t Greta spike the ‘wild limo ride in Gurnee’ for the same reason (would have been a game-changer)?

Thanks Nachum. It’s very convenient for the left to consider keeping them afloat with tax payer dollars, don’t ya think?

From the article:

During her testimony, Ms. Heidelbaugh said Ms. Moncrief had told her The New York Times articles stopped when she revealed that the Obama presidential campaign had sent its maxed-out donor list to ACORN’s Washington, D.C. office.

Ms. Moncrief told Ms. Heidelbaugh the campaign had asked her and her boss to “reach out to the maxed-out donors and solicit donations from them for Get Out the Vote efforts to be run by ACORN.”

Ms. Heidelbaugh then told the congressional panel:

“Upon learning this information and receiving the list of donors from the Obama campaign, Ms. Strom reported to Ms. Moncrief that her editors at The New York Times wanted her to kill the story because”, and I quote, “it was a game changer.”

Convenient? You might say that. I have a few more choice words I would add. :)

“ACORN has a pattern of getting in trouble for violating federal election laws.”

Really ... slap on the wrist and they're back peddling socialism.
