Watergate '09?

Back around late 1995, a tiny blurb appeared in the paper reporting that Democratic congressional offices were burglarized and computers containing important data on health care legislation were stolen. Naturally, there was no follow-up by the media about what was obviously a Watergate repeat.

Now there's been yet another Watergate. This time, the victim is ACORN - yes, the same ACORN the Republicans keep complaining about as part of the Republicans' war against voting.

An ACORN office in Boston was burglarized, and 3 laptops were stolen. An alarm was also ripped out of the wall, a downstairs office was ransacked, and the vending machine was robbed.

How adult contemporary.

This is so clearly a politically driven Watergate-style break-in that it's like nails on a chalkboard for anyone to deny it.
