Flab: Davey Croquette: Now why would the Census Bureau hire a company convicted of election fraud?

Has ACORN been convicted of election fraud, or has some of its members been convicted of election fraud? There's a difference.


NONE of its members have been convicted of election fraud. They were convicted of registration fraud. That's different. All they did was submit fake registration forms to make it look like they were working when they weren't. And these forms were kicked back, because all registrations are screened, AND, because Acorn, as an organization, flagged them as potentially fraudulent, but by law they had to turn them in anyway.

God, I can't believe people are so stupid about this. Is it so hard to wrap your head around? This isn't even a complex issue.

what_now: Davey Croquette: Why would Obama make the unprecedented move to put the Census under the White House?

The Census is under the purview of the Department of Commerce, which is controlled by the White House.

Do you know which filthy socialist did this? Theodore Roosevelt.


Do you think he is a complete Freeper idiot or is he just trolling?

I mean I know there are people this crazy out there. It's really sad if this person believes this crap.

"do you know the difference between voter fraud, election fraud (tampering) and registration fraud?"

Yes, maybe you should start trying to read the articles you link as proof.



Read the whole article, folks. The Obamapologists are trying very hard to dismiss this as nothing. Sickening, their lack of skepticism. Billy Mays made a living off these suckers.

Members of the Census Bureau and Department of Commerce staff assigned to organize the 2010 Census were unaware of when the decision to involve ACORN was made, how the Census Bureau choose and defined partners, or whether partners received payment.

Yeah, its cute your trolling, I know you think it's funny to "catch people" in your game.

You think you're real clever, that you say things other people actual believe and others believe you believe it. For some reason you think that somehow is a clever trick. But that's not what satire which is clever, actually is.


All your doing is convincing people who pop in these threads of bad ideas, they might actually start to believe. Just because you think you are being clever while you are just wasting your time and others.

fernt: I'm curious subby...

Why is it retarded not to want to let the government in on:

- the schedule of when you leave your house and when you return

- my ancestry

- my level of education

- if I have difficulty making decisions

- extensive personal income information

- how I get to work

- how much time off from work I took

- details about my house, how many rooms, bathrooms, etc.

- details of my utility bills

- details about my mortgage

...and so on.


Because it's your civic duty to do so and it's far less onerous than say, jury duty, let alone getting drafted to murder women and children in southeast asia. No one in the government cares about your specific personal information, you're not that interesting. You're a data point.

If you think this is serious a violation of your right then you have no clue on the current reality of the abuses perpetrated by our government on its citizens. Let alone any sense of history.

But all that's beside the point. Bachmann is officially full retard now because her own party members, who rarely disagree in public, are calling her out for her behavior. Unofficially of course Bachmann has always been fully retarded.

It actually says nothing he says it says. It actually says ACORN is NOT counting people, they are only helping to recruit workers (like other organization).

It actually disproves the things he is saying.

Agency Theory. Now go back to the grave you and your skepticism died in. You Obamapologists make me wretch in mock disgust as if I'd been forced to sniff a prisoner's jack rag.

Why would Obama make the unprecedented move to put the Census under the White House? Why would he let ACORN within ten miles of it? I don't need to stick my head up a cow's ass to know there's Filet Mignon in there.


10/10 Excellent troll! Kudos!
Love the misspelled "wretch" and the "mock disgust" joke when most people would have real disgust. The Filet Mignon joke twist is excellent too (complimenting the White House by comparing it to steak while looking like you're insulting it by putting your own head up a cow's ass)...very funny and you're clearly hooking some people.

Well, you have a point there.

I notice that Obama hasn't done anything to dial back the onerous Patriot Act...just for one example.

What I object to is not only the intrusion of privacy, but the level of resigned acceptance to further federal governmental invasions of privacy by the Checked Out Generation. They're being ushered, like cattle to the slaughterhouse, towards the inevitable chip in their ass...and they don't seem to care.

Can't blame them too much though - the vast majority were brainwashed by public schooling which was set up to create the mindless obedient robots that they have become.

QFT Indeed. Let's encourage Bachmann and her fundie district to boycott the census. Maybe we could start rumors that they are part of the New World Order and hand out plastic "Amero-Peso" coins to totally freak them out. We could even sell them real authentic tinfoil hats. Oh this is going to be beautiful.

If that makes you feel better about it you need your farking head examined.

and mostly it was pinned on $8/hour hired help that was supposed to go door-to-door filling out voter registration forms decided to stay at home, drink beer, and fill out bogus forms.

No it wasn't. If you don't know what happened don't join the Obamapology Brigade. Read my link to Judicial Watch if you want examples of fraud committed by your favorite organization ACORN.

I can't believe someone would actually support ACORN being involved in training Census takers. Unbelievable. You're awful Americans.


Hey dumbass. Name one person that was involved in ACORN that was not a paid lackey that was CONVICTED of fraud..

Questions for the Census were submitted to Congress for consideration by March 2007 - when Republicans were in greater numbers in the House and Senate and controlled the White House.

Scary, scary is right.

I agree with Mr. Coffee Nerves - it's a bit unnerving to think that there is a segment of the Minnesota community that Michelle Bachman represents WITH THEIR CONSENT!

Not sure - I just assume she has one. I'll check into this.

And you should have a black Muslim guy accompany you...I think my Congressman, Keith Ellison, might want to go.


Or even better, have Obama accompany you.

I'm just not that worried about what questions appear on the Census.

If there isn't something I'm comfortable answering I will simply not answer it or lie. Hell, this is the United States of America, you don't even have to fill the damn Census paper out(not sure why you wouldn't though)!

Also, I don't know who is more crazy: Representative Bachmann or her constituents?

Let me see if I've got this right... Republicans hate Acorn because they help the poor and disenfranchised participate in the American political system?


Correct. The GOP consistently opposes efforts to increase overall voter turnout because the biggest opportunities for increased turnout are amongst people unlikely to vote for Republicans (e.g. the poor, young people).

Someone above posted a thing that said the range of fines was $100-$5000. I guess they use a sliding scale where $100 is for scrawling "Romani Eant Domum" on the sheet, while $5000 is for crucifying the local procurator.

actually, this would be GREAT
if you "census should just count the people nuts" actually got your way, this would solve one of the largest problems in the country.

TADA
we would no longer have any illegal aliens
nope
they would all be gone

they would become a simple count of the people living in various areas
we would not know what race they are
we would not know their legal status

TADA
