Nuts to ACORN
As noted back in August, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), seems to be around voter-registration fraud “amazingly” often. The post cites numerous instances in 2004 and one from this year.
Porkopolis reminds me that back in the mid-1990s, ACORN, a pro-minimum wage increase advocacy group, tried to convince the State of California that it didn’t need to pay its employees ….. the minimum wage.
So if they aren’t there already, add ACORN to your “progressive” “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” list. The REAL list is so long that it’s a wonder that Peter Schweizer, author of the book by the same name released last year, was ever able stop writing.

UPDATE: There are so many examples of ACORN voter-registration fraud cited at this Belleville, IL newspaper link (HT SoxBlog at Hugh Hewitt) that you’ll want to save the article to your hard drive for future reference. Current ACORN-iness is particularly strong in Missouri, particularly St. Louis. A shocking YouTube video (shocking only at how readily people are stating that they are doing things that are clearly illegal; HT Pub Def Weekly via Gateway Pundit) shows that ACORN is clearly working to register people to “vote for Claire McAskill” (Democrat candidate for US Senator), and is not paying some of the people working for them.
UPDATE 2: Porkopolis links to a Fox Journal page, where you can find a link in the middle of the page to a “Hits and Misses” video that (eventually, at the end) discusses ACORN’s minimum-wage hypocrisy.
