Issa vs. ACORN
A new report claims ACORN and SEIU are part of a criminal conspiracy.
Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, led by Rep. Darrell Issa, have issued a scalding report on ACORN and the SEIU. The main thesis — that ACORN and SEIU are, operationally, in effect the same organization, an organization that illegally channels restricted money into political activity
— is argued persuasively, but the authors slopped the report up with
tangential complaints and grossly exaggerated claims about ACORN’s role
in the housing bubble.
The odds are
vanishingly small that Eric Holder’s Justice Department, which could
not be bothered to prosecute armed New Black Panther–party thugs
brandishing weapons to scare off would-be voters, is going to do much
about an organization at the heart of its boss’s political coalition and fundraising operation. Issa’s report may be the closest thing to an indictment ACORN ever sees — which makes its flaws all the more of a shame.
