Hey. Im not questioning his honesty in one regard. Particularly when he finally said, "I couldn't specifically prove that the events I witnessed were part of a formal ACORN business plan...."

What I think is dishonest is his blanket suspicion and unfounded, inherent distrust and characterization of every person who works in the lobbying industry with one broad stroke:
Lobbyists rank just below child rapists in my book...

Let me be more specific. Individuals who choose to make their living attempting to buy politicians in a legal manner are human fucksticks who I rate just below child rapists on the scale of asshattery.
I honestly dont know how any objective observer would not see this as having a bias that might impact his thinking on the subject.

But I understand now that his unfounded blanket suspicion carries more weight than mine.

Perhaps I should just proceed with the "knowledge" that every one in the housing finance industry is equally despicable because of a few greedy and unethical rogues in the business.

With that, I am done with this discussion.

Its been...interesting? ... to say the least.
