In an startling partisan shift, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. on Thursday proposed holding hearings on claims the liberal activist group ACORN engaged in a pattern of crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style “protection” racket.

Mr. Conyers, Michigan Democrat and fierce partisan, suggested a congressional probe after scathing testimony about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during a hearing on various voting issues related to the 2008 presidential election.

He's giving her enough rope to hang herself.

I think Conyers might be setting-up a probe of all election fraud, not just ACORN's alleged offenses. That could reopen Florida 2000, Ohio 2004, Diebold and host of other Republican abuses.

Are you saying ACORN is doing only what Republicans did?

Nope, I can be cryptic too. Often am.

I say investigate them both....it will accomplish two things at once, convict Democrats and shut them up......
