How Bad Is ACORN

How rotten is ACORN if the House Judiciary Chairman and die-hard democrat Rep. John Conyers Jr. wants to investigate them?

In an startling partisan shift, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. on Thursday proposed holding hearings on claims the liberal activist group ACORN engaged in a pattern of crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style “protection” racket.

Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat and fierce partisan, suggested a congressional probe after scathing testimony about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during a hearing on various voting issues related to the 2008 presidential election.

Not that ACORN would admit to any wrong doing, and if the representative was serious he'd be calling for more FBI investigations but at least now ACORN will be put in the hotseat if only a little.
