Brooklyn authorities clear ACORN of wrongdoing, say republican tape edited to make the innocent look bad
From the "rational people would have waited to see justice be done rather than acting like a mob with pitchforks" department.
But thats the way this country works now right - you get every media outlet slavering to serve up the vilest stuff, because it sells oh yes americans love it like free beer, but when the vile stuff is investigated and disproven, that gets a minor mention.

"LOOK we voted against ACORN now don't you worry about the jobs and the economy or wether you will be able to afford health care if you lose your job and have to be underemployed for the next decade.".

"On Sept. 15, 2009, my office began an investigation into possible criminality on the part of three ACORN employees," Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said in a one-paragraph statement issued Monday afternoon.
"That investigation is now concluded and no criminality has been found."
