Musings from Brian J. Noggle: Would They Call Regular Fraud "Fundraising Efforts"?

Would They Call Regular Fraud "Fundraising Efforts"?

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Washington "editor" weighs in on ACORN's fraud problems by calling them something else: GOP attacking ACORN's voter registration efforts:

Trailing badly in new-voter registration, Republicans are waging an aggressive campaign in Missouri and around the country against a group that claims to have added 1.3 million people to voter rolls since last year.

Let's play a new game: whenever the Post-Dispatch identifies something as fraud, let's see how they would spin it if it involved/indicted the Democratic Party.

Like this: GOP attacks Nevadan's fundraising efforts

Or this: Republicans assail investor efforts.

I guess I am just naive; I didn't think that Republicans were upset with voter registration efforts. I thought they were upset that ACORN people were systemically and nationally caught making things up out of whole cloth:

I guess that explains why I didn't go into journalism; I don't want to "help" people see the "truth" through my creative writing and pretending it was something other than a fictional narrative.
