   So if the IRS thinks it’s a good idea to audit me, I’ll just tell them I’ll audit myself and tell them I’ve overpaid the past 10 years!

   Pure genius!

    Harshbarger has determined — wait for it — that ACORN engaged in no wrongdoing depicted in the nationwide undercover stings conducted by BigGovernment.com/James O’Keefe III and Hannah Giles.

    Common folks. It wasn’t like ACORN was trying to help a young white couple get a home. Now THAT would be a crime.

    Time to trot out Jim Nabors for a reprise of one of his immortal lines from Gomer Pyle, USMC:

    “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”

    ACORN’s self-absolution is like a scene from an old movie I saw, in which a guy gets caught by his wife while in bed with his mistress. His entire defense rested on brazen denials: “What girl? What bed?” Until finally, with the bed made and sitting in his easy chair with the newspaper he says to his flabbergasted wife, “Shouldn’t you be fixing dinner?”

    These people don’t just think that you’re stupid. They think that you’re effing stupid.

    It’s the 1967 film“A Guide for the Married Man” with Joey Bishop as Charlie and Ann Morgan Guilbert playing his wife. Tiger Woods sure needed to watch this movie guide.

    The Harshbarger report outlines documents that the panel reviewed, including:

    We have reviewed an extensive collection of documents, including, by way of example, ACORN (and ACORN Housing, Project Vote, ACORN Institute, among other ACORN related entities) staff policies and organizing manuals; descriptions of the organizational structure of ACORN boards, chapters, affiliates, and corporate entities; ACORN and academic/media articles regarding ACORN’s various national issue and advocacy campaigns; ACORN related human resources and staff management policies; internal reporting requirements; project and services quality control methods; board administration and governance guidelines; and software information. These documents total more than 7,000 pages.

    In addition, we have obtained reports from, and interviewed consultants retained by, ACORN since June 2008 to review its finances, organizational structure and board governance.
    We have reviewed selected court materials; media coverage and commentary; several Congressional Committee reports; materials available from and on relevant websites; and a range
    of individual comments received, pro and con, regarding ACORN.

    Well…now that we know they can find SOME documents (Harshbooger must’ve looked in the dumpster), when does the RICO investigation start?

    Of course there won’t be any real investigation regarding anything involving Obowma. With all of the corruption, perjury, obstruction of justice, and abuse of power in the Bill Clinton administration, they should have been able to impeach him ten times over, AND put him away for twenty years. As things turned out, when it came down to voting the scumbag out, nobody had any idea what was going on, so he skated.

    As with the cover Clinton got during his corrupt administration (and still gets all these years since), the “news” media won’t cover the obvious problems with Obowma’s direct involvement with criminal organizations and out-and-out America-hating dirtbags. It’s very frustrating to see politicians who are guilty as hell, and continue to flaunt the law like they are above it.

    Harshbarger’s report states: “While some of the advice and counsel given by ACORN employees and volunteers was clearly inappropriate and unprofessional, we did not find a pattern of intentional, illegal conduct by ACORN staff; in fact, there is no evidence that action, illegal or otherwise, was taken by any ACORN employee on behalf of the videographers.”

    ACORN found not guilty by reason of insanity — on the part of the investigator, that is.

    Using similar reasoning, Harshbarfer could investigate Osama Bin Laden and conclude that any connection to Al Qaeda was unintentional and that no pattern of illegal or terrorist conduct was evident by his actions. And, if anybody was wondering, having just one Harshbarger on the jury is how terrorists might be found not guilty during civil trials in NY.
