      Fear and paranoia is the best way to get enough middle and low-income people to vote in the best interest of the wealthy few.

      Did they cover the possible problems ACORN may have in Nevada?

        Why would they cover unproven possibilities? Isn't that the Wingnut's bailiwick?

          Funny how that principle doesn't apply to "right wing orgs".

            Sure it does.

            BTW, ACORN is not a "left wing org." It is a community organization which has been targeted by Republicans because of its success in registering minorities and poor people to vote. Those people are not known for voting for Republicans . . . this campaign against ACORN has existed for years because the Republican political club wants the voter pool to be as small as possible.

            You really need to broaden your horizons. Limiting yourself to Fox really restricts your knowledge of what is actually going on in the world.

        You are generalizing. An individual supervisor at the ACORN office in Nevada may or may not have instituted a policy which was specifically prohibited in Nevada. That's not ACORN's "possible problem," unless it can be proven, under the doctrine of respondeat superior, that ACORN ordered, knew, acknowledged or approved of this employee's actions.

      It's a good thing we have talk raido. Maddow the only news you report is what everyone beats you to the punch on. For you to have quest on your show to point out tha this is a right wing problem with acorn or should I just say republican problem just showes me what links you dem lovers will go to protect the corrupt activities that these people are in bed with. By your guest that you have had on your show downplaying the Acorn issue ,just tell me do you think there is a problem here or should we just let 8.5 billion more go this this corrupt group. They do not get any worse than this and if you were not with your head in the sand you would ungovered this and as far as obomia not knowing about this wht do you not report this. You have to be kidding me. He knows and if he does not than this just makes my case he is in over his head
