It seems like the editorial departments of liberal newspapers across America are going out of their way to assure us that ACORN, which has been been submitting massive numbers of fraudulent "voter" registrations, is really doing nothing much to complain about. And if you do complain, you should shut up as the Los Angeles Times told John McCain or you are just playing politics as the Raleigh News & Observer asserted today in an editorial (emphasis mine):
The Associated Press reports that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now is under investigation by the FBI for possible involvement in voter registration fraud. That follows Republican complaints that the group, which has signed up over a million new voters nationwide, including 27,000 in North Carolina, is abetting fraud by submitting false registration forms to election officials. Last week John McCain made the startling charge that ACORN may be "on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history."
Startling charge? If this charge is so "startling" then why is the FBI currently investigating ACORN and raiding its offices in many of the battleground states?

PING!
This is why I don’t know many who read The News and Disinformation. Anyone in NC who wants truth should never look to the N&O!
These newspapers do not have the first clue what ACORN and these other leftist groups are about.
Goebles would be proud.
This is the same McClatchy bird cage liner that failed to report the facts on Crystal Gail Mangum when she falsely claimed to have been raped by the Duke Lacrosse players, also a racial story.
They are a poor excuse of a “newspaper” and deserve every lost dollar they encounter.
I know a person in NC whose 20 yr old was getting gas at a quick stop and was approached by a person wanting to register them to vote. They registered with an out of state license as their only ID. No oath or any other procedure, just signed up. ACORN has fanned out to gather registrations any way possible and whether they wind up as legitmate is not important to them. They are messing with the system to corrupt it as much as possible.
INVESTIGATIONS, INVESTIGATIONS, INVESTIGATIONS. When will there be charges!
I didn’t know voter fraud was “just politics” unless they mean “democrat politics”
The Republicans were foolish to allow this election fraud issue to fester until the eve of an election. This gave them a propaganda weapon, and we're no match for them in that regard.
PJ,
Every time I try to go to the Newsbusters home page it locks up my browser (IE). FYI.
