Do you really think people are that stupid? To believe, these guys weren't taping her office is a miscarriage of justice in my own opinion.
Oh trust me they wouldn't have arrested them, if they didn't have enough to bring them to trail.
Actually, it is. It is called eavesdropping, and it is a felony.
If someone from Acorn had been trying to tap the phones of a Republican Senator, I'd bet that many of the same people who here are defending this guy would be screaming to have the fellow charged with treason and executed. :lol:
Would this be the "creativity" part? -- Investigative journalism without journalistic ethics or personal integrity.
Who didn't know the guy who dressed up like a pimp was bent?

Only if it's done without someone's knowledge. Other than that, it's called, free speech.
I for one am not going to defend this man. He broke the law, and should be prosecuted for it. It is one thing in my eyes to out a corrupt group taking my tax money to undermine this country, and its values. But another all together to do anything of the sort that may be a threat to any of our Senators, Congress people, or President. These people as reprehensible as they are are our elected leadership, and need to be protected from threat. Leave the outing of corruption to professional agencies.

This young man might have a bright future with FOXNews when he gets outta jail. :rofl
thanks guys and gals.
I wish you could have heard the expletive uttered while driving home today, and after yesterday of the news speculating that he wasn't there trying to tap the phones, today two of the men with him admitted to it....I mean for Christ's sake! It's hard enough out here trying to hold our own after the the deserved thrashing we took in '06, and '08, but we are starting to rebuild, starting to get it again, and then this kid has to go and do something stupid like this.
I prefer to win on legal, fair and square basis.
The Salahi's should be jailed, and so should this guy.
What's next, some one with a gun and a mental disorder?

Give the dems time. Their thrashing will soon come. That's politic's for ya!
It's not Obama so much that's gonna get them in hot water. Most of America still supports him. It's the congress and senate that the people are having problems with (Obama hater's notwithstanding.)
Article said:According to information Dai posted in September 2007 on the university's online alumni directory, he lived in Naperville, Ill., helped run a "Defense Deparment regional defense counterterrorism/irregular warfare program" and then became assistant director of the Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence at Trinity Washington University, which prepares undergraduates for careers in intelligence.
Yeah, the demo's are going to go down big if they continue to ignore the will of the people. however, Obama so far has lost his approval faster than any other President in history to date. I read an article somewhere where it showed that he was also among the most divisive to date. This IMHO, doesn't bode well for him in this era of growing distrust of Government.

I'm no expert on the legality of what they did, but even if it's legal, it's horrifying to think that the federal government was giving financial support to an organization that offered to assist in human trafficking.And many you seem to ignore were exonerated of wrong behavior. But please please don't let the facts get in your way.
But an exhaustive report recently released by the Congressional Research Service -- a nonpartisan branch of Congress -- exonerated ACORN, finding no incidents where the organization broke any laws or misspent any federal funds.
ACORN exonerated? - Roanoke.com
These activists were a dangerous group of people that believed the ends justified the means regardless of how illegal it was. It might play well on prime time fiction series like White Collar or Burn Notice but in the real world it's frowned upon, and thank God it is. I hope they have plenty of time to think about their stupidity in jail.
IIRC, they only went to 7 ACORN offices and at 4 of them they found at least one person willing to help.how numerous, really? it seems to me that just as many politicians are corrupt. refresh my memory, was acorn found guilty of anything?
I have no problem with him being prosecuted, but that doesn't make ACORN any less guilty.Really? Focus on the messenger? OK, you are right. He only committed an itty bitty felony, but he's really a good guy. Come on, folks. We can turn our heads and look the other way over this. After all, there are plenty of witches out there that need burning. He is being prosecuted... err, I mean persecuted, by his enemies, the same way the Watergate burglars, were prosecuted... err, I mean persecuted. It's just not fair. :rofl
Seriously, the man is not a messenger. He is a criminal.

You've got it backwards. People were claiming that this made ACORN innocent.Good post, but it is kind of funny how some here have attempted to change the topic from a man committing a criminal act to how bad ACORN is. LOL.
Finally, if he really is both, then his criminality doesn't say much for his message, does it?
Reagan also lost his approval numbers this quickly.
Is what happened at ACORN prosecutable?
