MasterSlaveLA,
I was just about to answer you on the evils of Brietbart but Owner59 put it well enough, I think
As for the Acorn thing,
Every single investigation into the matter has come out in Acorn's favor. There was no evidence of any institutional wrongdoing, and those who did voter registration fraud were turned in by ACORN themselves. Also, here's some important things to consider about the "sting":
1.) He did NOT go in dressed as a pimp. They filmed themselves in a costume for the camera, then took them off before they went in to look more "normal."
2.) The man inside that he talked to? Took all O'Keefe's information and then called the police on him.
3.) Investigations also show that the tapes here heavily edited to give a certain impression.
But none of this matters, because Acorn doesn't exist anymore. They were taken out because they helped poor people and minorities register to vote, and so who knows how many democratic votes were lost in future elections? But this is Breitbart's M.O. He launches these Kamikaze slander-missions that don't stand the test of time but by the time the truth comes out it's already too late. We've seen this with Acorn AND Shirley Sherrod.
Hoax or not, Breitbart ended up performing a public service. Listen to you libs!! ACORN got millions in public funding. Public funding comes from TAX DOLLARS. Those tax dollars were collected from Republicans (mostly, I would imagine), Democrats and Independents but ONLY Democrats were being registered to vote. If you don't see the problem with this, you are dishonest to your core.
