The Real Truth About ACORN

By Brave New Films

October 21, 2008

» More

In one of its latest videos, Brave New Films takes a look at the allegations of "voter fraud" leveled at ACORN by the McCain/Palin campaign, and finds that in fact, systematic voter fraud has not occurred--historically systematic election fraud and mass disenfranchisement of voters is what has taken place. The film tests McCain's assertion that this organization may be "destroying the fabric of democracy" in America, though it fails to mention one crucial fact: McCain himself been aligned with ACORN in the past, attending and even speaking at functions sponsored by the organization.
