Signed a non-disclosure statement? Then how did we find out? What is the source of the facts as we know them?

You don't know what a non-disclosure statement means?

And if Cain would have told the damned truth from the get go this story would have been gone by now.

Kind of like how Obama handled the birther issue? And no I'm not a birther..

That makes ZERO sense. Obama released his BC in 2008 and we're still talking about it. That racist dirtbag Arpaio as well as Perry have brought it up in the last two weeks alone.

Obama was telling the truth. He was born in Hawaii. #56 of the 57 states 03-wink

He released it in June of 2011. Like i said. They both handled this poorly.

Some people have a passion to help others. Others like being pompous asses. It's all a matter of choice.

Are you saying Acorn has a passion for helping others? Really?

Of course they do. Hookers, pimps, gang-bangers, yeah, they're all into helping.

The Brietbart video was discredited long ago when the unedited version was released.

Correction: They tried to discredit the unedited video but somehow those words kept coming out of their mouthes.

The Cain campaign points a finger at a guy who now works for the Perry campaign. Herman disclosed everything to him when he worked for him during his failed Senate bid. They guy knew the hows, whens, and wheres. He was an integral part of his Senate Campaign.

Ignorance? Maybe he should just ignore everything and let the MSM answer all the questions for him like Obama did.

My point was that he's being smeared by the left without a conviction, which was the point you raised with the NUT group.

Caused the housing crisis and brought the world's largest economy to a standstill?

While this is disputed, there is no doubt at all that they were involved front and center pushing availability of loans to those that are not among the most credit-worthy folks.

At least in part, because ACORN is arguably to blame for the same things they accuse Wall Street of being responsible for.

Why would the left even bother smearing the guy? THe man makes himself look like an idiot all by himself. Someone should remind him China already has nuclear capabilities. THis smear is coming from the right.
