Quote:I have never claimed that ACORN committed fraud. I simply pointed out that, given the evidence to date, to make the assertion that no registration fraud committed by ACORN employees has led to voter fraud is untenable.
Quote:But, to flat out deny the possibility that they are so involved because no evidence to the contrary has been found is not logically tenable.
But the contrary claim, that registration fraud committed by ACORN employees has led to voter fraud is equally untenable. There is simply no evidence for that proposition, and the burden of proof is on people making the accusations. As the post that started this thread amply demonstrated, such accusations are currently widespread, and do not seem as concerned with logical niceties as we do. To defend ACORN against such accusations by saying there is no evidence behind them is not the same as saying that ACORN is unquestionably innocent of all such charges, come what may. It was the first defense I was making, and not the second.
