Hammering Thor

Just a head's up: You gotta read Brad Friedman's latest on Rove's vote-suppressing buddy Thor Hearne and his fake group, the American Center for Voting Rights. Brad has found evidence that the Mighty Thor (a high-powered lawyer) lied on a tax form. To wit:
The ACVR did not try to influence legislation? That's like Britney Spears claiming she never had a haircut. The whole point of the group was to get photo ID laws passed which would depress votes among poor people.

There's more. See Fired-Up Missouri here and TPM Cafe here.

Interestingly, now that ACVR has gone bye-bye, its domain name was bought by a do-gooder lawyer who makes sure that anyone who tries to go there ends up here. Clever work!

I like that ACVR web site bounce/re-route to the Brennan Center for Justice. That lawyer who anticipated the availability of the ACVR address - should be in the House or Senate. We need more progressive people who think on their feet and act quickly - that way we can politically leap and stay ahead of the Fascists.
