  • Over the past 48 hours 4chan's formspring page has gotten over 12,000 questions, and I've received over 3,000 e-mails. Many thanks to everyone who submitted a question, and sent me a message! I was able to respond to a few hundred e-mails and had hoped to start answering questions on formspring, but it seems that the number of questions broke the page. Once that's sorted out, I'll sift through them and answer as time allows.
    Thanks again for all of the support!

    In other news, /rs/ now processes MediaFire/MegaUpload/and a bunch of other links correctly (this had been broken for months). The old links should be updated in about a week (the checker is taking a while).
    Thanks to Popcorn Mariachi for spontaneously appearing and fixing this.

    Final reminder: Ask questions here, e-mail me here (I read *every* one), and follow 4chan on the Twitter here.

    Acorn cleared of criminal wrongdoing in infamous "pimp" tapes.

    Brooklyn prosecutors on Monday cleared ACORN of criminal wrongdoing after a four-month probe that began when undercover conservative activists filmed workers giving what appeared to be illegal advice on how to hide money.

    While the video by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles seemed to show three ACORN workers advising a prostitute how to hide ill-gotten gains, the unedited version was not as clear, according to a law enforcement source.

    "They edited the tape to meet their agenda," said the source.

    Really? Exactly what context is it okay to advocate prostitution and aiding CRIMINALS in STEALING tax dollars from the middle class?

    We can't always trust our government to handle these matters fairly, because the most powerful people in the country right now were put into office with the help of criminal enterprises such as ACORN.

    ACORN was always just a helpful community organization.

    Hipstertard dubbed the tapes, altered the tapes, edited the tapes in the ones he used as "proof". He violated at least three non consensual surveillance laws in three states. He then got caught trying to wiretap a politician's office. He was thrown out of, or had the cops called on him many times.

    So no, as usual, the conservative was the crook and ACORN didn't have shit to do with anything other than turning in corrupt middlmen who made up names to fill a quota.

    God, Republicans are dumbasses.

    Ironic it was the idiot right-wingers who likely broke laws here (and almost definitely broke laws when they were arrested for the wire-tapping thing), while the supposedly "evil" ACORN, which has been so unfairly bashed in the media, has come out time and time again perfectly clean.

    What sucks though is ACORN has been completely screwed, had its funding cut by Congress, and isn't taking in the donations it used to take since the controversy.

    So unfair.

    You know nothing about the story or you'd know he had no wiretapping equipment on him at all.

    He was trying to check Mary Landrieu's claim that her telephones were broken and that's why she wasn't responding to complaints for being bought off with 300 million dollars to support the health care bill.

    Hello, there. You seem to be laboring under the illusion that ACORN's loss of face did not affect certain politicians.

    ACORN is an organization that rigs votes and helps niggers cheat on welfare.
    Period.
    It's a radical leftist group, of course liberals would defend it tooth and nail.
    Fortunately, shit is hitting the fan for them and they are breaking apart.

    Broke into a federal office building and I do believe he was at least arrested for an attempted wiretap.

    I imagine he'll meet some real pimps in prison.
    Don't worry though, there is an organization that helps down and out types back on there feet...oh wait.

    Obvious troll aside, since there are dumbfucks who believe this:
    ACORN never rigged any votes.
    And it's not a radical leftist group.
    ACORN helps anyone, not just niggers.

    It's a bit ironic how small government type are always championing NGOs. Until they register niggers to vote.

    That is true, problem is that the damage is already done. The ACORN national organization has been dismantled, and it is restructuring under a new decentralized organization.

    Election fraud never happened. Obama didn't steal any votes or get any votes from non-existent people.
    ACORN paid some people to go out and register voters, lazy fucks said "we'll get paid more if we make up some names and add to our count". ACORN was like "these names are bullshit" and turned them in.
    Then conservatives started propagandizing.

    That and they haven't really used money for anything illegal AFAIK. Nevertheless, I don't see why we should pay for them anymore then we should pay the private mercenaries of a Neo-Crusader Christian fundamentalist who employs civilian murdering assholes though.

    Good, they can rebuild and help people anyway under new organizations. The conservatives may have fucked up people trying to get help, but as long as you're still able to help, it's ok.

    Voter registration fraud sure did.

    ACORN also bullied banks into giving loans to people who couldn't afford it.

    They were a small chip in the housing crisis.

    Yeah, but they turned in their own, which would show that they weed out corruption, contrary to what most ACORN conspiracy theorists shout out.

    Your housing crisis point is valid.
