Along with MANY other states and local governments, Maryland's politicians need to be thrown out of office along with all federal politicians. Clean house, vote them ALL out, NO incumbants. Republican or Democrat, there's very little difference between them. Corruption is corruption and runs thru most political offices from the local town hall to the White House and Congress in DC.

> "The conservatives PROPOSED the idea. The ACORNITES ran with it" — Aahhh…so by your logic, they're both guilty but instead you falsely idolize one while falsely persecute the other. I believe that is the text book definition of hypocrisy.

Good God, talk about being deliberately obtuse. The obvious difference that you are deliberately avoiding is that the two that proposed it KNEW that it was a fiction. The ones who ran with it thought it was true. Or are you seriously trying to say that Giles and O'Keefe were really planning to start a sex-slave trafficking business along, but decided to go with outing ACORN instead because they thought it would make them celebrities?

The rest of your post deserves no comment, but I will anyway. ACORN is being investigated and/or prosecuted for voter registration fraud in (at my last count) 13 states, more than 1 in 4. They've turned in thousands of completely bogus voter registration forms that they have ADMITTED to, thousands more that they have been convicted for, and probably tens of thousands that they have not YET admitted to or been convicted for. There have been multiple convictions of ACORN operatives for this over the years, most recently in Missouri, if I remember right. A few irresponsible low-level employees, my ass.

Ok syntax– You stated that the ACORN employees did not break the law, only Okeef, and giles did… Acorn employees conspired to tomit a crime… They gave advice on how to cheat on taxes, How to Hide a Whore house with underage illeagal Girls(ie.Sex Slaves) and how the launder the money…… That is called conspiricy……. and it is against the law… Even in Maryland…….. Of course they will never be prosecuted for it….. I dont even care if they are prosecuted because it would be a waste of money, It would be thrown out for the way the evidence was obtained…. But I think the IRS should examine every tax return submitted by these Arcorn employees…. Bet they would find a few more that are not above board…. These ladies acted like they gave the same advice on a pretty regular basis….

John — Glenn Beck did not call the ACORN woman from San Bernardino a murderer. If you watch the clip of his comments you'll see (and hear) that Beck essentially said the woman admitted committing murder but that he didn't know if she was telling the truth.

As to the filming that was done in California, it was not against the law. California law is similar to Maryland's but there is a huge difference. In California, oral communications are NOT covered. Confidential communications have to be made and captured over an electronic medium (i.e., a telephone) before California's law applies.
