not much of a story: One of 80-some NGOs that assist in the Census had four,
or six employees trying to break the law. That's not much news, is it?

What I find interesting is that they went to three different ACORN
offices and got almost identical treatment. What I'd like to know is
whether they went to any ACORN offices and got thrown out.

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, thrice is..enemy action?
That's something like what Goldfinger told Bond.

Actually, they apparently went to many more (I have to track this story
down, but Acorn identified five more as of the time I read it), and just
kept going until they found some patsies.

This is one case in which you'd want to see the real statistics.

Acorn has an obvious agenda, and a proven record of bending the law to
get it. Congress knows that anything having to do with ACORN is a
political liability that will haunt them come next election.
That vote was for job security.

And many of the ones that have been identified have also shown up on tape!
The total as of today is 4 offices, The latest on the West Coast.

Why? They ALL get the same training and the "counselors" ALL seem to be
saying the same types of ways to commit fraud.
