It's not a different standard. It's a different context. This thread is being used by someone who has been trying for years to get ACORN shut down, and that person has made hundreds of posts containing lies, gossip, and smears against ACORN. I have posted a few examples of other people doing things that this poster has been accusing ACORN of doing in order to draw attention to this person's hypocrisy, and the fact that they really couldn't give a shit about the principles behind their accusations, because if they did, they would be equally outraged by these things when they are done by those they personally support. If they really did give a shit, they would be working just as hard to get the other people shut down or penalized as well. They are not, and they don't care about the underlying principles. All they care about is disenfranchising poor people.

And even if this person wanted to wait until it was proved that the people on the side they support have done the things they are accused of before anyone calls for punitive action, they are still being hypocritical for not insisting that the same standards be applied to ACORN.

It's all about the double standards of the person waging the vendetta against ACORN in this thread, and about their blatant agenda to disenfranchise people who vote in ways that person doesn't like.
