    What? "Why speculate?" That's funny, because I was getting ready to mock you for saying it, too. While I don't recall ever using the term, I believe you use it quite frequently...
    I think the only times I've used it have been in response to you speculating.


    I don't think it's funny at all. Labor unions and community organizations have a long and colorful history of just such things.
    Lumping in labor unions and community organizations? Convenient. Got a source for the latter assumption?

    No big deal here, man. There was no crimes committed. And Acorn didn't do anything wrong, even the people who work for Acorn really didn't do anything wrong. Man, that was legitimate, solid advice they gave...but, it wasn't Acorn that was giving that advice, even tho it was good advice...it was the employees of Acorn giving that advice.
    bolded is correct
    Not that there was anything wrong with it...or Anything Acorn employees do,
    I don't think anyone has made this assertion.
    except when they get caught doing illegal stuff...then, really...it's not Acorn's fault even then, always a few bad apples donchaknow, and they only worked for Acorn anyway...they weren't really part of Acorn in the, y'know...corporate/biblical sense, not that there's anything wrong with working for Acorn but not being really part of Acorn, they're all part of Acorn...unless convicted, of course...most aren't, y'know...most get away with, er...most aren't convicted..
    How many have been convicted?

    damn...where was I?
    I think you were trying to be profound.

    Oh, yea...this is all about racism anyway.
    Sure, why not.

    Yeah, I know. I'm just wondering what you think we do in here...

    Lumping in labor unions and community organizations? Convenient. Got a source for the latter assumption?
    Source? No...haven't bothered to look. Examples? Greenpeace and PETA are two organizations that train their members to violate the law to advance an objective.

    Maybe I should have said advocacy groups...ACORN still fits.

    Eh PETA sucks but just because one organization allegedly trains their members in illegal behavior doesn't mean another does. There is 0 proof.

    Absolutely!

    Acorn is cool man...just, some of the people who work there, y'know...do stupid stuff. Well, not stupid...that WAS good advice...but, the larger point must be made...the people who work for ACORN really ain't a part of ACORN, and ACORN can't really be held accountable for everyone that works for ACORN...unless those they hire are really cool, and don't get caught on stupid videos like this...not that there's anything wrong with this video, it was solid advice...we are good people, except the ones that aren't, then they are not part of ACORN really...most aren't even convicted, let alone caught on tape...and the few that are, well...they were just stupid...we really don't want stupid people...not that there's anything wrong with that...just, y'know, how could you not tell this was a setup, we prefer smarter people who can figure this stuff out and avoid making Acorn look bad...not that ACORN looks bad or anything...these people only work for Acorn, they're not really ACORN...but, real ACORN people woulda known...the non-real ACORN people that work for ACORN, but get caught...they just ain't part of the real ACORN.

    It's my opinion but, I don't think there's 0 proof. After all, offices of the same organization, in two separate cities treated an identical cir stance in a similar manner.

    I guess it could be that ACORN just attracts applicants with similar proclivities but, I think my explanation is more likely. You're welcome to disagree.

    Oh, and speculate away...

    That's right!! How many have been "convicted?"

    See, only a few have been convicted, maybe 2 or 4, something like that. And really...they weren't part of ACORN, they were just, y'know...working for ACORN. And the thousands of voter registration thingys that have been thrown out as fraudulant...man, that was just a big mistake...done by ACORN employees that really aren't a part of ACORN. Have I mentioned this before? ACORN can't account for all the thousands of Fraudulant voter registrations that people working for ACORN...but not really a part of ACORN, have tried to sneak by us. We do our best to make sure ACORN people, don't sneak by ACORN people, stuff that ACORN people think shouldn't be snuked by us. Only real ACORN people, who don't get caught or indicted, or video taped, or convicted...those ACORN people are the real ACORN people. Those other ACORN people, well...they just work for ACORN.

    You know old Obama is on his knees or prayer mat or whatever, just praying the rest of america thinks they were imaginary kids, cause I think this little episode is another nail in the coffin.This may not what people imagine "service to the community " should look like. This was not the first time these people did this it niether shocked nor confussed them it was old hat and it come across as that on the film. It's gonna cause the whitehouse alot of grief.

    Oh you think he's a muslim.
    just praying the rest of america thinks they were imaginary kids,
    They were imaginary kids. Unless you can show me a do ented case of child pros ution that arose from these journalists.
    cause I think this little episode is another nail in the coffin.
    Doubtful
    This may not what people imagine "service to the community " should look like.
    The women were fired and I'm sure there will be an investigation. A proper investigation.
    This was not the first time these people did this it niether shocked nor confussed them it was old hat and it come across as that on the film.
    Says you. And you have 0 proof of such.
    It's gonna cause the whitehouse alot of grief.
    Why?

    After I turned off my computer last night I watched Hannity. I love watched FNC because of the crap they talk about. They had James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles on. As a Christian it is very hard for me to hold back anger towards them now. All of you ACORN/AHC haters have the right to call the organization out. That is what the United States is about. However, it makes my heart heavy and just makes me tear up when these people call the organization soulless. But, I will not wish anything bad upon James, Hannah, Mic e Malkin, Glenn Beck, or anyone else who wants to uncover the maliciousness of an organization that I have devoted my service to for the past year and a half. It just bring me back to this verse:

    Matthew 7:1-5

    "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

    "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
    So, that's where I stand. If I see you all at a GTG, I happen across you in another thread I hold no ill feelings towards you, it's just opinions. And I hope nothing but the best.
