Candidate Supported By ACORN-Front Working Families Party Takes the Fifth Over Documents Release
— Ace

The suit itself - Im working to get a copy of it sent to me - alleges that WFP (which is, of course, a front for ACORN) is violating campaign finance laws by having WFP front group Data and Field Services provide canvassing and other services for [City Council candidate Debi] Rose in her primary campaign against [current Conservative candidate* Ken] Mitchell for which the firm received far less than the market value.

The documents sought would reveal (possibly) whether the WFP is breaking campaign finance rules by, I guess, giving unreported, undisclosed in-kind (i.e., not monetary, but manhours) campaign donations to the candidate.

The candidate's response:

A City Council hopeful wont cough up documents related to whether the Working Families Party is scamming the campaign finance system because the case could involve criminal liability, according to documents released yesterday.

Ah.

Moe Lane has some thoughts about how the one-party system -- one party, protected relentlessly by a partisan media -- makes people stupid in their lawlessness.

speaking of which, I looked to see if Dodo and her commie husband made any contributions to Democrats in past elections, but couldn't find any. I couldn't find any donations to (R)'s either.

I find it hard to accept that neither of these political hacks and activists have no record of campaign contributions.

2 Heh - I read in the title "....Drinks a Fifth..." and in the paragraph "...WTF Party".

I need reading glasses indeed, but the above read makes it more fun.

3 You know, James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles have done more for conservatism than any of us have realized.

The tentacles of the Left are pervasive and thorough. They've spent a lot of time and money creating friendly-sounding front groups, but the head of the octopus is ACORN. All we have to do is make a connection to ACORN and everyone will know what the organization is all about.

Posted by: AmishDude at November 01, 2009 09:41 AM (ItSLQ)

ACORN is one of those organizations that you know isn't on the level, but you're not sure exactly why. They very carefully skirt the outer edges of the law and maintain enough plausible deniability to weasel out of most accusations leveled at them.

But that was before Giles and O'Keefe.

That this clearly subversive and questionably legal organization hasn't been shut down and all of their records seized in a massive investigation by the Justice Department is proof that they have friends in the highest places, most of whom owe their political careers to them. I really wish that someone could document the direct connection between Obama, their lawsuit forcing banks to lend to unqualified applicants and our current economic crash.

You're pretty sure it happened, but proving it is another matter altogether.

5 New slogan for Townhall meeting questions:

"I respecting refuse to answer that question on the grounds it might incriminate me"

There's a winning slogan if I ever heard one. Irony? For Democrats it works.

9 We know that we are being Screwed when Charly Rangel is not in a cell somewhere, no instead he's writing our tax laws. How crazy is that, and how much longer do we take it. I would like to see a conservative retake the White House, and then ask for resignations from all at State Dept. and all branches for that matter and start over.

if NJ is close, we will lose it just like the Mn. Senate race.

we all ready know the pattern/process.

but let's not fight, let's not kick up a fuss.

that wouldn't be dignified.

someone may get their blazer torn in a fracas... the horror.

p.s. it will scare the moderates away too, and there will be Tent shrinkage, Tent shrinkage! do you understand?

13 Is it just me, or was it almost impossible to know that this post (and the RedState post) were about NYC?

Also, LOL, a RedState post about NYC.

This city of mine, NYC, is such a sewer of ignorance and corruption.

American exceptionalism is really being tested now; it's like on STOS when the hull is about to be breached, and impulse power is almost failing, and the ship is shown as shuttering back and forth.

And it's not a tv series episode.

16 As you may know, I have downplayed the national significance of NY-23 (vis a vis Romney, for example). My take on Dede being a closet lefty? I think that will get more Hoffman votes because it will get some additional people to the polls; people who will feel betrayed by Dede even being a pretender to the GOP.

I don't think she or anyone else at SNL could see ACORN if they were looking at it through the Palomar telescope, because their eyes would be tightly closed.

19 @ 3 The tentacles of the Left are pervasive and thorough.

All part of the vaunted "long march," sadly. When that overrated hack and uber-Lefty douche Allen Ginsberg said, "We'll get you through your children," he wasn't wrong, unfortunately. We've practically lost the entire education system, where all the indoctrination starts. From there it moves into the political machinery.

One more reason for home schooling.

I am reminded of the post Ace wrote a few weeks ago about starting at the very grassroots level of politics, the city councils etc. to get our candidates into office. I am hugely paraphrasing, so apologies.

Anyway, methinks Soros and his various minion organizations are ahead of conservatives in this by about 10 years. Have any of us really paid that close attention to the most local of elections? I know I haven't really, and I suspect this sort of thing is rotten all the way down.

22 One more reason for home schooling.

Nope, one more reason to Kill The Humanities. People won't accept the notion that education is filled with political bias as readily that they'll accept that it's wussy.

The seriousness of an academic exercise can be measured in a scale known as pM: percent Mathematics.

That wasn't sarcasm.sexy lingerie with no Sexy Costumes The difference is that doctors would have come on to defend vaccines, but Corzine refused, and Shep wants to give Corzine a veto over what Fox does. Shep woudn't allow it because Corzine wouldn't allow it. that's crazy talk.

My first ban from Hotair.

For criticizing Morrisey's anti-Israel lunacy and general fact-munching at foreign policy. I feel so warm and fuzzy.

Posted by: Juicer at November 04, 2009 01:23 PM (S/zDt)

Interesting. If Morrisey banned you, than you must be one stupid idiot. It takes alot for Ed to ban someone. Unlike Charles Johnson & the Little Green Filth, they tolerate alot over at HotAir.
