Brown and Holder are too busy covering Democratic ass to be worried about violations of any laws by their supporters. Just ask former Inspector General Walpin.

I used to live in San Diego... Nasty City seems like the perfect place for an outfit like ACORN.

oh ffs.

ACORN threw out a bunch of old paperwork, and this is somehow evidence of some big conspiracy?

OK then. The Bush White House was supposed to keep track of it's emails ***by law***, and somehow they all got erased. Is that evidence of a conspiracy too?

If that's the case, then why is ACORN a big deal but the Bush Administration who actually **ran our government** for 8 years is not?

I mean, what the hell? You guys are treating ACORN like they're run by Dr. fricking Evil.

ACORN ...

Run by Dr. Evil ?

No, but trained by The Won ...

If an organization throw old paperwork out when there is a court order to preserve those documents or belief that those court orders soon will exist, then yes and people have been convicted and sent to jail for doing so.

An administration including Bush's is supposed to keep track of any "Official business" email. Once again that is "Official business" email. Political action and many of the personal e-mail doesn't fall underneath that definition. Also an administration is prohibited by law from using government e-mail system for political purposes. Try again.

Hey troll, let's see what's in the documents, shall we?

If ACORN is crooked enough to give advice on how to run a prostitution ring of illegal immigrant minors and crooked enough to give advice on how to hide the money from that criminal enterprise, then maybe ACORN is crooked enough to actually engage in criminal activities themselves.

If ACORN is stupid enough to get caught on video and audio giving advice on how to engage in criminal activities, and if ACORN is crooked enough to actually engage in criminal activities themselves, then maybe ACORN was stupid enough to keep written records of their criminal activities and stupid enough to dumpster those written records instead of shredding them.

Let's see what's in the documents, shall we?

And as you know full well, Bush is irrelevant.

Wayne, you are mistaken. Any and all correspondence that goes to, or goes out of the White House is, by law, to be recorded. Look it up if you don't believe me.

ACORN threw out a bunch of old paperwork, and this is somehow evidence of some big conspiracy?

Then you've got nothing to worry about, do you, comrade?

Well guys I don't know how to tell you this but the ACORN guys could go down to the Lincoln Memorial, climb up on ol' Abe's lap, take a dump, burn some documents, stick up a couple of the witnesses and drive off. The press would ignore the whole episode. I promise they would.

"If an organization throw old paperwork out when there is a court order to preserve those documents or belief that those court orders soon will exist, then yes and people have been convicted and sent to jail for doing so."

Excellent! So glad to hear you're for the Bush Administration being convicted and possibly sent to jail.

And as you know full well, Bush is irrelevant.

I know he is to you - because otherwise you'd be force to apply the same yardstick to Bush.

I'd just love if you could explain why it's bad for ACORN, but ok for the Bush Adminstration? Just explain it to me. I'm all ears.

jim x: "I'm all ears."

That explains it! The ears are supposed to be on the OUTSIDE...with a brain in between them.

(a) I must have missed the videos of the Bush Administration setting up brothels nationwide using 12 year sex-slaves..
(b) ACORN at best mishandled "sensitive" documents in an illegal manner. And at worst (and most likely) dumped incriminating evidence. Time, and Breitbart, will tell.

No matter what ACORN or Obama does the trolls scream: "BUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH!!!"

it'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic!

jim x........typical. Whenever a Democratic supporter is found wanting, JUST REMEMBER WHAT BUSH DID!.

Hey shithead, if those documents contain PERSONAL identifying info on people, the law specifies how those documents are to be destroyed.

Hint asshole: You DON'T throw 'em into a dumpster.

Other than that, just fuck off!

"I'd just love if you could explain why it's bad for ACORN, but ok for the Bush Adminstration? Just explain it to me. I'm all ears."

OK Dialogue?

Im waiting....

Oh, ACORN just threw out some old junk...
and is investigated/indicted for voter registration fraud
and has been filmed on multiple occasions offering tax evasion advice
and has been cited for misappropriating taxpayer funds
and has registered illegal aliens to vote
and...
by the way, (paraphrasing) Obama said their agenda is his agenda. They go way back ya know.

ACORN threw out a bunch of old paperwork, and this is somehow evidence of some big conspiracy?

Depends on what's in the paperwork, doesn't it?

Plus they did it just before a visit from the AG.

We shall see.

Still, you'd think they could afford a shredder.

Hey troll, Bush is irrelevent to the ACORN document dump, period.

Also, according to the April 13, 2007 CNN story you linked, Democrat Senator Patrick Leahy, the Chairman of the Democrat controlled Senate Judiciary Committee, says the e-mails HAVEN'T BEEN DELETED and exist somewhere, and that, "They're there," he said. "They know they're there, and we'll subpoena them, if necessary, and we'll have them."

The Democrats have controlled the House and Senate, and therefore the Senate Judiciary Commitee, since Junuary 2007. The Democrats have cintrolled the Department of Justice since January of 2009. If the case of the missing evil Bush e-mails hasn't been investigated, if subpoenas haven't been issued, if the case hasn't been brought to trial, if the evil Bush hasn't been tried, convicted, and punished for being the evil Bush that he is, then look no further than the Democrats. Dumbass.

How much is ACORN paying you jim x? I'm telling you I'm pissed at them. The last check they sent me bounced and my dealer wants his money, like NOW!

That fascist troll who says he is all ears is all one organ alright.

But it ain't ears!

Why are some many individuals and organizations that Obama was involved with in the past shrouded with this aura of deceit and lawlessness.
We knew nothing about this person when he came on the scene a couple of years ago. Questions went unanswered about the likes of Reverend(?) Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Resko, Acorn..etc.
Had this person been a Republican, the press would know and have investigated every person he ever knew.
A hatred of Bush, White Guilt, and just plain stupidity got this person elected. He possessed no merit, standing on his own to be elect to the office of President.
If the press had investigated Obama just half as much as they hovered over Sarah Palin, Obama would be just a "bad" Senator from Illinois.
...You Betcha.

JimX you are a hypocrite for arguing that what Bush did was wrong but not ACORN.

Eric, I am like you, I don't get the asshat comment.

Hmmm, heroes coming out of the woodwork, all over Amerikkka. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm. It's true! O has brought me Hope!

Hope that he, Harry and Nan, will destroy their Party.

Yes I know this is off topic.

The Hatch Act prohibits the use of government resources, including e-mail accounts, for political purposes

The Presidential Records Act changed the legal ownership of the "official records" of the President from private to public.

The key word is "official records". If it was official why would the Hatch act prevent the use of public funds and resources for it? Also if there is a requirement to keep them wouldn't those requirements be funded? To do so would once again be in violation of the Hatch act.

Yeah I know it is Wikipedia.
