UH-ohhhh...the ACORNS are falling again...




PITTSBURGH — Seven Pittsburgh-area ACORN workers were charged with falsifying voter registration forms, with six accused of doing so to meet the group's alleged quota system before last year's general election.
District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. said he's hoping the workers charged Thursday will help authorities determine whether Allegheny County ACORN officials will be charged with requiring the illegal quotas or otherwise directing that voter registrations be faked.
"You should consider the investigation as ongoing," Zappala said.
Six suspects forged a total of 51 cards, a felony that carries up to seven years in prison. The same six also were charged with illegally accepting payments to meet a quota of 20 registrations per day — a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.
The one defendant not charged with either of those crimes told police he filled out at least 100 voter registration cards in his own name, even though he was already registered and knew it was illegal. He's charged with misdemeanor counts of obstructing and interfering with the elections process, as are several of the others.
Zappala said investigators targeted 100 local ACORN canvassers after county elections officials started noticing dozens of possibly forged registration forms in August. ACORN registered 38,000 new voters in southwestern Pennsylvania, including about 33,600 in the county last year, Zappala said.



And who do you suppose is standing in the way of a congressional investigation of the whole sordid mess? That pillar of truth, justice, and the American Way, BARNEY FRANK...seen here welcoming Bruce, his new intern.




Even John Conyers, who can always be counted on to protect every liberal cause that crosses his desk, was calling for an investigation until his left-wing loony buddies told him to sit down and shut up. Remember, this was the same crowd that rammed the latest "stimulus" bill (I am STILL not feeling very stimulated) down our throats after giving republican congressmen all of eleven hours to read the 700 page document which contained a bundle of YOUR tax money for ACORN and other organizations that support leftist causes...go figure.




Here Barney is captured in a not-so-happy moment when Nancy Pelosi was voted Senate Queen. He was lobbying heavily for the award himself...


At any rate, it now appears that ACORN will once again be given a get-out-of-jail-free card for all past, present, and future offenses against the part of America which chooses the rule of law over the rule of gimme.


Say goodnight, Barney...
