Computers Stolen From Boston ACORN Office

[a kennedy]

BOSTON (AP) ― Police are investigating a possible burglary at the Boston offices of the community activist group ACORN.

Chris Leonard, an official with the Boston branch of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, tells the Boston Herald several computers were stolen from the group's Dorchester office either late Wednesday or early Thursday.

According to police, the alarm had been ripped from the wall, three computers had been stolen and wires had been damaged. The report says two downstairs offices also were ransacked, two vending machines were damaged and change stolen from them.

Leonard says he does not know if the break-in was politically motivated, but called the timing "suspicious."

The FBI is investigating whether ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud in several states before the presidential election. ACORN denies any fraud.

4. Maybe some "concerned citizens"

taking it upon themselves to defend our country from ACORN?

:shrug:


After all, McCain did say that ACORN is threatening the very fabric of our Democracy!

:sarcasm:

Stuff like this is, unfortunately, the natural end result of carelessly whipping people into a state of panic and hysteria.

Well, I suppose (taking off my :tinfoilhat: for a moment) that this could simply be a random burglary but I kind of doubt it given all of the attention currently being paid to the organization. The timing just seems so...........perfect for stuff like this to be happening.

5. That'll be so that some Freeper can program "proof" of voter fraud.

6. Yep - that's the plan and you can take that to the bank

That's what this has come to. Demonizing a legitimate organization for good to sow the seeds of doubt to cover another election theft.

7. and this "discovery" will occur right before Nov 4 so no time to investigate it

Get those whities really really pissed at minority voters... transfer anger to black candidate.

9. Hmm ... and where is KKKarl Rove these days?

[formercia]

15. Wherever he is, he's a very busy boy.

This is why he left his job at the WH. It was so he could focus on stealing the election without any media scrutiny.

10. "Stop alleged thief!!"

They tried to make it look like a vanilla burglary.

[GreenPartyVoter]

When is the right time to fight back?

Get out three more voters for every one they try to steal.
