Just so we're on the same
page, here: community organizing group ACORN registered large numbers
of black voters in Chicago for the last big "election".
As is common in many registration campaigns, there's a fair number of
wise-asses registering dead peoples' names, or fake names. Also, as
is required by law by boards of elections in any US city I've been to,
any bogus/invalid registrations are reported, to keep the voter rolls
cleared of all the dead people, and all those Luke Skywalkers and Donald
Ducks.
So, anyway, outfits like the Drudge Report (has anybody informed that
bonehead that the '90s are over?) get hold of this and, in their own
predictable, inimitable fashion, proceed to blow this up into some kind
of bogus "scandal" and throw it to the rightist k00k crowd
like so much fresh, raw meat. Still, you've got to love Drudge, if only
because he carries on in the finest shrieking tabloid tradition -- never
let the facts get in the way of a good story -- along with providing
us all with some good cheap laffs.
Now, just to refresh your memories, one more time, here's the video
of a small group of black youth selling little plastic flags at the
September
12 Teabaggers' rally being threatened and harassed, and accused
of being "ACORN People" (as if there were something wrong
with that in and of itself):
