Seen the news lately? Ha...Feel dumb now Maher? I know you liberals love to apologize so lets have it.

What was that about information?....huh? lol.

[fomastephanovitch]

You'd have to be an opus dei liberal to feel guilty enough to apologize for those cretins at acorn.

Bill Maher caught with his foot in his mouth

[hitman2070]

Has Maher been on Larry's show recently to try and explain away the current ACORN scandal? Anyone know? Or is Maher upset because the only ones ACORN seemed to have fooled was him and his fellow Dummycrats...

I'm sure this is the millionth time you've heard the same argument, so I harbor no illusions that this time... you'll actually hear and understand what is said to you, but I'm going to say it anyways. Yes, Mickey Mouse will not vote. However, what if one of the made up names is James Bollinger, and some guy calling himself James Bollinger (even though that's not his real name, and he already voted) shows up to vote. Do you understand?

What he's getting at is Acorn didn't fill out the registration cards. By the way, Voter registration fraud and voter fraud is different. There is a BIG difference between registering a made up person and voting as one. Registering a voter is what Acorn did, they didn't actually vote. This by the way has nothing to do with Obama, and everyone can hate me, but they have to go and find out for themselves.

only thing maher is missing is horns and pitch fork, mickey mouse and they are not trying to fool anybody? come on dude,

[bronc30td]

Mickey Mouse obviously won't get a vote. But when John Doe in somewhere like Ohio, who died last month gets registered and is allowed to "vote" immediately WITHOUT having to show identification? Don't tell me that's not happening. They did what was required of them by law only when they got busted....

[smautomat]

Yes! You have summed it up in a nutshell. The people who are getting worked up about this are making a mountain out of...well, out of an acorn!

[WinstonSmith]

Which part of it is voter fraud? The fact that some workers added names from a phone book to collect money from Acorn? Acorn is who got perpetrated by fraud. Acorn is who reported it. They did what they are required to do by law. And how is "Mickey Mouse" really going to vote when he shows up at the poll?
