		<description>Well, the above is a smear, since it is not factual at all, and refers to bogus conspiracy ideas about &quot;corporate enablers&quot;

Above your comment, Dob has a better standard of facts. His definition includes &quot;True&quot;.</description>

		<description>Could some liberal please explain to this Neanderthal conservative how stating facts is a smear? How is it unfair, racist, and un-American to reveal the truth about politicians and their corporate and foundation enablers, whether they be Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, or liberals?

Could it be that speaking the truth about liberals like Obama, Pelosi, ACORN, or Frank is dishonest while making up lies about conservatives like Limbaugh, O&#039;Reily, and Hannity is honest? I guess we&#039;ve arrived at the Animal Farm in a Brave New World.

		<description>I&#039;ll entertain an idea.

Where do I start, oh yeah &quot;facts&quot; as you call it. I&#039;d imagine I&#039;d have to cite the relevant info to elucidate these &quot;facts&quot; so he we go.

From the Judicial Watch website:

&quot;Judicial Watch, Inc., a conservative, non-partisan educational foundation, promotes transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law. Through its educational endeavors, Judicial Watch advocates high standards of ethics and morality in our nation&#039;s public life and seeks to ensure that political and judicial officials do not abuse the powers entrusted to them by the American people. Judicial Watch fulfills its educational mission through litigation, investigations, and public outreach.&quot;

:You&#039;re right, certainly seems partisan, so I guess the lawsuit to access the files and meetings of the SPP are partisan tactics as well, huh?

http://www.judicialwatch.org/6376.shtml

Or the information regarding Abramoff and his Democratic ties, oh wait he&#039;s been labeled a Republican operative, still looks partisan right?:

http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2009/sep/sen-reid-threatens-newspaper
http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2008/jun/top-congressional-aide-guilty-lobbying-scandal

Wow, &quot;facts&quot; have a way of turning up in the most right places:

http://www.judicialwatch.org/files/2007/0408FECComplaintMcCain.pdf

:yeah, I&#039;d imagine we&#039;ll agree to disagree, as I cite relevant information, and you threaten with a road sign. &quot;Stop&quot; I&#039;m sure I can make that determination myself Punk.</description>

		<description>dobropet, you really must stop. The biggest problem with people like you spewing &#039;facts&#039; is that you think conflict of interest is a virtue, so the more probable your source is to be biased and playing loose with those facts (as in the rightwing think tank Capitol Research Center or the rightwing activist org Judicial Watch), the more credibility you assign them. Bad news if your real goal is reality, good news if you&#039;re just trying to be Right.

Here&#039;s something to look up: Mark Jacoby, GOP registration fraudster, and Nathan Sproul, GOP registration fraudster. That&#039;s just for starters. All this hysteria about ACORN is a smokescreen to distract from some of the real election fraud that&#039;s been taking place.</description>

		<description>Charlene - you&#039;re absolutely right, but to do that is to get the masses of people out of their precious comfort zone of sacrificing hours of research a week seeking the truth. They would prefer the &quot;truth&quot; be placed in their lap by someone else while they sit there and do shit. What&#039;s wrong is wrong no matter who is involved.</description>

		<description>Gotta break the ice:

While the election 2008 controversies over electoral fraud efforts &quot;have been indelibly imprinted in the public consciousness,&quot; Vadum said, that work is only a &quot;smidgen of what ACORN actually does.&quot;

This year, it boasted of registering 1.3 million new voters but had to backtrack and admit only a few hundred thousand registrations actually were valid.

Some of the other &quot;activities&quot; cited by Vadum:

Having 500 activists storm the Washington Hilton and forcing then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich to cancel a speech.


Pressuring Congress and financial institutions for a social basis for mortgages, rather than determine loans by a borrower&#039;s ability to repay. Critics say this is a large part of the reason for the Wall Street meltdown in the past few months.


Disrupting a congressional panel considering changes in the Community Reinvestment Act.


Harassing motorists waiting for traffic at intersections with donation campaigns.


Staging protests outside the home of the chairman of San Diego Gas &amp; Electric that were so disruptive a judge issued a temporary restraining order to keep them away.


Dumping garbage in front of Baltimore&#039;s city hall and demonstrating outside the mayor&#039;s home, terrifying his wife and children.


Suing the state of California seeking an exemption from a requirement to pay its employees minimum wage.


And turning in hundreds of thousands of voter registrations that have been tossed by election officials. 

The report also cited ACORN&#039;s refusal to follow basic civil rights laws or pay required taxes.

From a report by -Matthew Vadum, a senior editor for the Capital Research Center.

---Just to recite, another report from the House Committee on Government Reform shows--- &quot;that ACORN has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systematic fraud and that the group hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.&quot;    - Judicial Watch


Simply because one group helps out the underpriviledged doesn&#039;t allow for it to go unchecked.</description>

		<description>Is it safe to assume that as Americans/human beings that we all want the same thing? No race, party, etc. just want and expect honesty and our Gov to do what is right?
Why all the fighting between the R&#039;s and D&#039;s? Would it not make more sense to come together and clean up the system no matter who or what they are?</description>

		<description>Finally!  Somebody tells the truth!! 

I called my representative, a Democrat who voted to strip funding away from ACORN and I asked her to tell me why she did this. She said it was because of the recent &quot;media&quot; reports. I asked her if she bothered to look into those reports to see if they were true and she said no. I also asked her to tell me why they took this action without any investigation. She had no answer for me.  I then told her that I was completely disgusted with her for going along with a slime bag like Darryl Issa.  Again, she had nothing to say. 

Anyway, I really appreciate this article and will pass it on!</description>

		<description>Recording conversations without permission in Maryland and California is a crime. So why are criminals allowed to get away with producing criminal propaganda? Why aren&#039;t they behind bars where they belong? 

Why are they allowed to destroy a nonprofit organization that does more good to help out the poor and disadvantaged in America than all the Republicans combined?

Oh... I just answered my own question!</description>
