   good point. but, per your linked article, I wonder how much credibility to give to the "one employee" being responsible for it.
   
   If it is, well, one "bad apple" out of 2000 (in Florida) isn't on the same scale as the Democrat-related acorn scandal.

      That did jump out, didn't it?
      One bad apple losing this lucrative RNC contract that's been paying this guy millions (many millions) for years?
      Something doesn't wash.
      
      Still, it's pretty hilarious that it happened in Florida, where Governor Rick Scott is still out there putting up hurdles to Dem voters in the name of quelching voter fraud that thusfar has not been proven to exist at all.
      Oh the irony.

         Umm no they don't -- Acorn was defunded completely resulting in them closing down. "Following the publication of the videos and withdrawal of funding, four different independent investigations by various state and city Attorneys General and the GAO released in 2009 and 2010 cleared ACORN, finding its employees had not engaged in criminal activities and that the organization had managed its federal funding appropriately, and calling the videos deceptively and selectively edited to present the workers in the worst possible light. Despite this, by March 2010, 15 of ACORN's 30 state chapters had already closed"

AHC filed papers last year legally changing its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA). It's the same old organization with a brand new ACORN-free name."
