Excerpt:
The folks over at ACORN - Barack Obama's favorite "community organizers" - now admit that more than 30 percent of the 1.3 million voter-registration forms they submitted this year were rejected by election officials nationwide.
So much for claims by the left that the issue is nothing to worry about.
Never mind all those applications by Mickey Mouse and Jive Turkey.
ACORN says no more than "1 to 1.5 percent" involved actual fraud - which was committed, according to their friends at The New York Times, by "low-income field workers trying to please their supervisors." They were only following orders, you see . . .
Then again, yesterday's Times admits that ACORN-related voting fraud seems "to have resonated" - even among some Democrats and independents.
And with good reason.
Just a few days earlier, People for the American Way, the left-wing advocacy group, took out a full-page ad in the Times defending ACORN.

EMFK: Leave it to the NY Times to excuse ACORN's behavior, and the Times wonders why their subscriptions keep falling on a regular basis.
