Caving In

If the fringe faction of the conservative movement has learned anything, it's that screaming and complaining can eventually wear down anyone.

WASHINGTON – The Census Bureau on Friday severed its ties with ACORN, a community organization that has been hit with Republican accusations of voter-registration fraud. "We do not come to this decision lightly," Census director Robert Groves wrote in a letter to ACORN, which was obtained by The Associated Press.

In splitting with ACORN, Groves sought to tamp down GOP concerns and negative publicity that the partnership will taint the 2010 head count.

"It is clear that ACORN's affiliation with the 2010 census promotion has caused sufficient concern in the general public, has indeed become a distraction from our mission, and may even become a discouragement to public cooperation, negatively impacting 2010 census efforts," Groves wrote.


One day, someone or (some group) of clout and significance will give the fringe their much-deserved smackdown. You'll know when it happens because they'll be crying like a spanked child, claiming that they're being treated unfairly.

This wont happen until after Rupert Murdoch is dead and long gone. Hopefully then the Murdoch empire will collapse in a power struggle (but probably not).
