Applicants were fabricated and documents falsified for the reasons I
already gave.  To elaborate: tired, unwise, probably underpaid workers
trying to meet their daily or weekly quota.  I've seen it happen it
telesales, I've seen it happen in "tele-surveys" when workers invented
applicants for the same bad reasons.

It was wrong, it was stupid, and I am neither condoning nor justifying
it.  But there is no evidence that it was endemic, institutionalized,
or encouraged by ACORN.

So there were a few bad apples who were turned in by ACORN, and a raid
proceeds, either occuring independently or inspired by ACORN's
disclosure.

That isn't remotely similar to criminal acts actually coordinated by
the executive branch of government.
