Those indictment in themselves do not implicate Obama nor are they by themselves damning of the organization itself. But if this group was less shadowy, less under the radar which it and Obama no doubt prefer, and perhaps a bit less....ummm....emphatic(?) in its focus and goals, I think it would have made the front pages as part of the resume. The fact that it has not suggests to me that a closer look would not be flattering to Obama nor help his cause with any other than the far Left.
Can you explain what you mean by "shadowy", "under the radar", and "emphatic"?
I mean you can't find anything other than very undetailed and generalized statements re Obama's community organizer experience on his website despite the fact that this is repeatedly emphasized as an important component of his resume. Wesley Clark specificially cited it as a credential qualifying Obama to be President while McCain's military experience was not a qualification for him to be President.
But you don't find the media doing much probing into what Obama's duties, involvement, and contacts actually were with Acorn or even mentioning that Acorn was in fact his community organizer experience.
Michelle Malkin cannot be said to be unbiased in much of any of her views nor would she claim to be, but this short piece does enumerate why Acorn should be part of the scrutiny of a candidate's background and credentials for POTUS.
More left-wing voter fraud allegations against ACORN

Not again?
Yes, again.
KYW in Philly reports that the left-wing, government-subsidized group ACORN once again faces allegations of voter fraud:
Philadelphia elections officials are accusing the nonprofit advocacy group "Acorn" of filing fraudulent voter registrations in advance of the April 22nd Pennsylvania primary.
Acorn, which advocates on behalf of low-income residents in the city, has mounted a voter registration drive in the past few months. But city election commissioners are complaining that many of the submitted registrations appear to be faulty, and they have forwarded the matter to the district attorney''s office for further investigation.
Krista Holub, Acorn''s political director in Pennsylvania, promised the elections officials that her group will cooperate:
"We''re very committed to helping low- to moderate-income people across the state get registered to vote. And we''re here to work closely with the board of elections to make sure that everyone we''re helping to apply gets on the rolls."
The city officials say many of the addresses listed on the registrations are invalid, but Acorn blames the post office for not adequately servicing low-income communities.
That''s rich. It''s all the post office''s fault!
Last October, three elections hoaxers who worked for the far Left group ACORN pleaded guilty in Seattle for their role in the biggest election fraud scheme in Washington state history. It''s the same ACORN tied to massive voter fraud in Missouri. And Ohio. And 12 other states.
The same ACORN that has received government grants and taxpayer subsidies while pushing a militant partisan agenda as offshoots of the AFL-CIO and Democrat Party.
You think anyone has the guts to pull them off the government teat?
Forget it.
As I noted twice in January, the Dems are pushing to pour more money into ACORN''s coffers under the guise of the economic stimulus expansion. In other words: more Washington investment in voter fraud.
If you subsidize it, you get more of it.
Election mischief: Your tax dollars at work!
