ACORN Whitewashed by Scott Harshbarger (of the Amirault scandal)

As reported by the National Legal and Policy Center,

After a two-month probe, Harshbarger has released a 47-page report. The conclusion: ACORN is innocent. Harshbarger summarized his report this way: "We did not find a pattern of intentional, illegal conduct by ACORN staff involved; in fact, no action, illegal or otherwise, was ever taken by any ACORN employee on behalf of the videographers. Instead, the videos represent the byproduct of ACORN's longstanding management weaknesses, including a lack of training, a lack of procedures and a lack of onsite supervision."

We are truly amazed that Scott Harshbarger, who "found" enough to convict the Amirault family on the basis of evidence that was believable only by twelve people who were too stupid to get out of jury duty, could find nothing wrong with ACORN. Let us remind our readers of Scott Harshbarger's history:

Along the way, the law was stood on its head. The rules of evidence were changed to accommodate the prosecution; the burden of proof was put on the accused. Four- and five-year-olds were coached to say what adults wanted to hear.

One of the reasons behind the district attorney's decision last week not to oppose Mr. Amirault's release on parole was that in order to have him classified as a "sexually dangerous person" there would have had to be a virtual re-trial of the entire Amirault case. The DA had to have been deterred by the prospect of parading into a courtroom with the incredible fantasies extracted from Mr. Amirault's alleged victims -- about secret rooms, magic drinks, animal butchery, assaults by a bad clown. Then-District Attorney Scott Harshbarger had offered them as "proof" of the Amiraults' guilt.

The stench of the Amirault farce is clinging to Martha Coakley too (candidate for Ted “I drowned Mary Jo” Kennedy’s seat.

The Amirault’s suffered needlessly due to this clown, he should be ashamed of himself, what joke he is.........he “found” evidence to prosecute the Amirault’s but can’t find anything on ACORN, what a joke........

Harshbarger couldn’t find his own butt with a flashlight and a roadmap...

Richard Pryor once asked...."who are you gonna believe,me,or your lyin' eyes?"

Harshbarger somehow refused to believe his eyes.But being from Massachusetts,like him,that doesn't surprise me a bit.
