That’s like saying ACORN is a Mafia family. They took the Omerta…to register people to vote. LOL!!!

Really funny stuff, actually entertaining. Let’s let this one go, it’s practically silly.

That’s like saying Let’s get R.I.C.C.O charges on Disney. It’s led by Mickey the Mouse, and the Capo is Donald the Duck. Mickey has a lovely Goumada name Minnie the Mouse. Don’t forget the Enforcer Goofy.

It’s silly.

same as no evidence Ayers bombed anything.

I know I would have people screaming at me for saying this but consider: 1. if a person is registered 72 times they can still only vote once. 2. if a ten year old registers they won’t be able to vote unless a fake ID was made and if they were going to do that why would they register the ten year old to begin with rather than just use a fake name? 3. If Donald Duck registers Donald Duck would have to show up and vote. Now what poll worker is going let someone claiming to be Donald Duck vote? In most of these cases I tend to believe that it was either pranks or workers looking for extra salary bonuses simply because I doubt any organization would be stupid enough to think any of these tactics would somehow be rationally capable of being turned into spurious votes. I will say that I firmly believe ACORN left themselves open to this outcome and they purposefully ignored their internal vulnerabilities and did little to nothing to safeguard against such risks.

My only point with all of that was not to create a huge argument but to simply point out that no matter how much you all hate ACORN the Feds simply aren’t looking at them as the big threat you think they are. This case just isn’t what RICO is used for. Beyond that, the irony is that you truly fail to grasp what you are arguing for. You want these people punished, immediately, swift absolute justice and I am guessing you want the ball rolling in the next few days to perhaps influence the election. Well RICO would definitely be the wrong way to go to achieve those ends. Do you have any idea how long it takes to build a successful RICO case? First of all it takes a long, long, painfully long time to piece together a case. We are talking about a very complex and excruciatingly detailed legal process, far more so than normal. And that’s just to build the case because the second problem is that you are talking about federal prosecution. You don’t even want to know how long it can sometimes take to get a case into and through the federal courts. Let’s put it this way, if they began a RICO case right now on ACORN, they might get to verdict just before Obama started the last year…of his second term.
