ACORN CLAIMS: Charges Are ‘Politically Motivated’
OK, so what’s wrong with this statement coming from AN ATTORNEY for ACORN? ACORN is an innocent victim of partisan politics – or so its attorneys say. At a Las Vegas hearing on 39 felony counts pending against the group, ACORN attorney Lisa Rasmussen termed the fraud-related charges “politically motivated.” “We’re a bit appalled at the political grandstanding on the part of the attorney general’s office,” ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson told the Las Vegas Review-Journal last month. The charges against the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now are “frightfully absurd,” Levenson said. ACORN asserts it was victimized by a few rogue employees who violated the group’s policies. “The organization that was most harmed is the organization that is being charged,” Levenson said. SO…..My Question is…HOW can it be PARTISAN POLITICS? Is this an ADMISSION BY THEIR OWN LAWYER that ACORN IS UM…..LIBERAL DEMOCRAT? MAN, With Lawyers like this, WHO NEEDS PUBLIC DEFENDERS!!
