ACORN’s Latest Lawbreaking
In October of last year I asked why the Department of Justice had not yet instituted RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) proceedings against ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) and I provided examples of its numerous multi-state violations of criminal and election laws.
Since that time no RICO suit has been instituted, and yet even more information of criminal behavior by the organization has come to light.
No apparent reform of ACORN’s operations was undertaken. Instead, in June of this year, the organization simply changed its name to COI (Community Organizations International) in an effort to confuse people into believing that the outrageous behavior of ACORN was not to be attributed to them.
ACORN executives have also changed their organization’s name, which was tarnished by investigations in at least 14 states of allegations of voter registration fraud during the 2008 presidential campaign, and charges by current and former members of financial mismanagement and misrepresentation.
The new name will let ACORN leaders continue their operations without worrying about prior bad publicity, according to Marcel Reid of ACORN 8, a group of present and former members.
“We’ve known for many months now that the name ACORN is going to be retired,” Reid said. “The name has been so damaged to the point where the leadership knows it simply can’t go on as it has with the ACORN label out front and center, especially after all of the reporting.”
In fact, the process has already begun, she noted. Wade Rathke, who founded the organization, announced on his blog that ACORN International has officially changed its name to “Community Organizations International.”
The following month, the Washington Examiner detailed the “muscle for money” tactics of the group and their aims:
ACORN’s so-called “muscle for money” strategy extorts “donations” from targeted government and corporate officials by offering them Mafia-like protection from protests by the group’s own paid thugs, many of them convicted felons. ACORN has also blocked bank mergers until the targeted financial institutions agreed to change their lending policies to ACORN’s satisfaction. …
ACORN’s radical goals to transform the U.S. into a Marxist utopia have not changed in the four decades since Alinsky wrote: “The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive — but real — allies of the Haves. The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means.”
Translation: Anything goes for those hoping to topple the political and economic system of a nation that has created more wealth and eliminated more poverty than any other in the history of mankind. Which makes their “muscle for money” intimidation tactics not only justified in ACORN’s eyes, but a necessary and even moral means to achieve their desired political ends.
Further, Hot Air suggests that even the well-financed Carlyle Group appears to have knuckled under to these thugs and supported Obama as a result of a combined intimidation campaign by ACORN and SEIU (Service Employees International Union):
It seems that at the beginning of the campaign SEIU wanted a slice of the $6.3 billion that was on the table with the sale of Manor Care. For SEIU and ACORN organizing in poor communities takes a little bit of finesse and a lot of political theater. When SEIU could not muster up the required public outrage they switched tactics. In late 2007 SEIU released a press statement warning of the possible health risks posed by the Carlyle Group. …
On cue enter ACORN and Barack Obama. After staged demonstrations across the county and several changes of tactics, SEIU hires ACORN as a “consultant” to protest the Carlyle Group. ACORN readily accepts the money, but has one problem — how to turn the people out, to make them care about the issue. Using the same tried and true manipulation tactics that Stanley Kurtz detailed in his article about ACORN and the Community Reinvestment Act, ACORN spins the fight against the Carlyle Group as rich (whites) versus poor (blacks).
Media matter, the KOS and CNN are demanding charges be filed…… against the ppl who dared film or expose ACORN to the public….

HTF is this helping the economy?
The ghetto-organizer-in-chief has some splainin’ to do.
Clarice, isn’t Acorn the medium for Social Justice and Wealth Redistribtion. They are an integral part of Obama’s Marxist Agenda. Why would he or his Attorney General compromise his lead group with details like legal issues and ethics?
To assume we are not in a period of nationally endorsed corruption is to participate in the Charade of Obama Competency. The Charade of Obama Competency is Political Correctness in the extreme: that is advancing the concept at the expense of Freedom and of possibly the country itself. These are the costs of observing Stalin’s concept of Political Correctness in regards to a Black Liberationist’s Marxism, so correct, but toxic in regards to Freedom and Liberty.
Its good to see investigative journalism exposing bad practice by those we trust to do the right thing. Like most, I have friends that are cops and they tell me they often develop unauthorized communications with pro.s and other street people over the years. Lots of grey areas but they tell me that in the human side of life, these things happen. As for ACORN, they should fix this immediately. However, I did check them out and for the most part ACORN appears to be doing a good job helping the poor in our society and I never associated anything they do with marxism. More importantly, alot of them dont even know who Marx is. So the author has it wrong on that one.
Somebody got your six ok, Clarice?
Funny how CNN blotted out their faces. Funny how ACORN promptly fired these 2 individuals in the usual way…oh, they were rogue employees, acting on their own. Yeah, right! They were busted and deserve to serve time!! Where is our legal system? We better start asking these questions because one day we may find ourselves on the wrong side of Obama and be sent to jail, prison or worse. ACORN is corrupt. Politicians are more corrupt than at any time in history. All of this is at our expense. Our freedoms, monies, and reputation as an exceptional country doing exceptional things around the world is being greatly infringed upon and tarnished by this president. We are in great danger. Both at home and abroad.

the democrat party is a criminal enterprise
…congress should be indited on racketerring charges.
here is a headline that we don’t see
congress approves millions of dollars to pay carzs’ and michelle obamas entourage. ..I don’t see any difference between them and Acorn
They should have contacted US Senator David Vitter about this. If we don’t care that a sitting US senator spends his money on prostitutes, then why do we care about advice given by 2 non-elected persons at an organization?
“Why won’t Attorney General Eric Holder file racketeering charges against this criminal enterprise?”
LOL……gee, I wonder.
The same thing that Republicans do every day. But – Republicans hide behind their interpretation of religion to justify their actions, and we are made to shut up unless we want to be considered the anti-christ. I can get the same kind of comments and recommmendations out of any of my raised-eybrows republicen friends when we sit together at a table in a secluded home.
PS – I do not agree with what the 2 ACORN women did.
5. Spider79:
“Why won’t Attorney General Eric Holder file racketeering charges against this criminal enterprise?”
LOL……gee, I wonder.
INDEED …why do I feel like I am watching a Monty Python show when I watch the news.
CNN: ACORN workers caught on tape allegedly advising on prostitution – What does CNN mean by “allegedly”? Didn’t they watch the tape! These are the constituents of the liberal democratic party. Nice huh!
I agree with George, the democrat party has turned into a criminal enterprise.
Dude … don’t hold your breath waiting on Holder to start an investigation. Ain’t gonna happen.
8. George S.: “…congress should be indited on racketerring charges. here is a headline that we don’t see congress approves millions of dollars to pay carzs’ and michelle obamas entourage….”
Right on, Georgie! “Indite” ‘em all! And you’re also right about that headline: no editor would let it pass.
Just because you have two rogue Acorn workers does not mean that the whole Acorn organization is corrupt like some people are trying to make them out to be. I’m glad the two workers were fired and should be prosecuted.
It’s just like working at a bank or any other large organization / company. Just because you have one or two employees working at the bank that decide to break the law or go against company policy does not mean every employee working at the bank are corrupt or that the company itself as a whole is corrupt. But I don’t hear anyone mouthing off about that.
Sounds like another witch hunt to me. Judge not lest you will be judged.
hm
DId you ask that question with a straight face? Attorney General Holder going after the Alma Mater of Obama? We have a President who is PART OF THE PROBLEM. Acorn is the root of the mortgage mess for the NINJA loans. Do you think this latest monstrosity will have any traction? Look for the same tired old spin: “you’re just pickin’ on people of color.” That’s been a very lucrative accusation for almost 50 years. Why would anyone want to change it now? But, hopefully….it has become so stale and so obviously
What is wrong with what they did? Same ol’ democrat party it always was.

It’s good to see republican morons still have blogs! ENJOY HELL!
I wonder if I should be like everybody else and believe everything I see and hear on every cable media channel or blog posting. Or maybe I should read and think for myself read between the lines.
hm
What a bunch. You people can’t be this ignorant! Oh wait, yes you are……. The video was captured after James O’Keefe, the premier FOX “gotcha” videographer and co-hort went to 6 or 7 ACORN places trying the same stunt. Every other one didn’t fall for their asinine story, and refused to help them. These people either were really stupid, or thought they’d play along. They got fired. Jason O’keefe, by the way is an admitted avid follower of Saul Alinsky, the same radical that the right tries to pin on President Obama. FACTS, MAN FACTS. Distort. Lie. Bitch. Moan. Gotta get the black guy!
Holder won’t call them to task…they are his peeps man! He is one of them as so is Obama. They want them to multiply and destroy capitalism while they milk the capitalist system for all it is worth. When we fight back we are called racist! There is a break down in law and order when the criminals have control of the courts! We must rid the nation of these criminals one nest at a time. It is going to be a tough fight so get ready. We are on our own here folks. No help from the courts, no help from main stream media, no government help, no help from the Dems or the teachers in our schools, just us the American patriots who care about this great nation. Step up speak up and never give up! And never be deterred by being branding racist every time you confront them. Racist is becoming a label of courage now because of the left pinning it on everyone who takes the high road.
#16 – “Sounds like another witch hunt to me. Judge not lest you will be judged.”
No doubt the most misused verse in the bible. In context – “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
It is the WAY in which you judge, not if one is allowed to judge or not. The following verses clarify that way – not being a hypocrite by ignoring the log in your own eye while criticizing the sliver in someone else’s. As soon as I see evidence of pimpin’ Republican voter registration personnel you can be sure I won’t hold back criticism. Till then you will have to come up with a better argument for approving of these peoples actions than misleading bible quotes.
Acorn and groups like them are like cancer. Sometimes the whole organ has to be removed to save the patient. Sometimes the cancer is so wide spread that the cancer is going to kill all the other tissue around it…this is Acorn.
Chris, The problem is we’re not enjoying the Hell that the corrupt venal Messiah and his corps of grifters, thieves, fascists, thugs and neo- Marxists are trying to turn our country into. Because we’re we’re not Koolaid slurping idiots like you, we continue to resist. Sic semper tyrannus!
Then we should all believe that the whole country is corrupt republicans, democrats, independents, hell everybody. Raise your hand if you do not have any skeletons in your closet.
hm
We see want we want to see and we hear what we want to hear and we persecute who we decide or want to persecute.
hm
I see this foolishness eventually ending up in a black on white issue. I think alot of white america is getting sick of being ridiculed for being acheivers. I’ve seen this battle brewing since Obama started his blame your white forefathers for everything rhetoric. Maybe it’s time to look in the mirror and put the blame where it truly belongs.
I already said that the two women that were working at Acorn should be fired and persecuted according to the law.
I will not just shoot off the hip and condemn the Acorn company as a whole just because some blogger(s) say I have to believe what is posted.
I could sit here and nick pick and post comments about corrupt company’s all day long on the conservative and liberal side.
hm
This administration is a criminal conspiracy. Let’s have another monologue about race.
The first thing we should demand of the next administration is the prosecution of ACORN under the RICO Act.
This unfortunate event will force Obama to conclude that Acorn is underfunded at 4 billion, they obviously need more money to properly train their people.
Otherwise they might get busted by a rogue group like the FBI. Of course Holder and Obama might have told the FBI hands off Obama’s political organizing group. No they probably just need to worry about rank amateurs exposing their illegal activities.
Spending stimulus money on groups like Acorn is a prime example of why the stimulus did nothing but put us into astronomical debt and enrich Obama’s friends and supporters. Prostitution advisors, pimp consultants, and teenage prostitution and trafficking enablers have never been proven to be beneficial to an economy in recession, despite the way Obama and Acorn view their importance.
Don’t worry people, Acorn is probably the group that Obama wants to turn into his domestic political army with the same funding as our military. The domestic political army militia that he has referred to many times. Once Acorn has as much money as our armed services, they will be above and beyond reproach. Oh, they will be armed, but don’t let that intimidate or prejudice your view of a group that is merely helping the poor during these troubling times of persecution and prosecution for voter fraud.
obeymugabe wouldn’t be where he is withOUT ACORN. He is dependent upon them, that’s why he’s directed BILLIONS of stimulus dollars at them, as well as put them in charge of the 2010 Census.
I would agree with the “few bad apples” defense, if it weren’t for the fact that ACORN has either been indicted or is under investigation in several states for various types of wrongdoing. That tells me it’s more systemic.
#30
You can almost smell the sweat as the trolls lose their grip on denying the obvious and defending the indefeasible. What a satisfying development.
1. robotech master,
They need to put that video in the wiktionary under “chutzpah”. A left-wing journo saying that leaving out details is “propaganda”? That is absolutely astonishing. I’m sure he’s and his buddies have never stepped over that line. No sirree Bob…
I don’t understand how CNN claims to deliver unbiased news when the title of the ACORN story about a video statement includes “allegedly” in the title. CNN is dropping the ball. I remember many years ago we had investigative journalism. It is great that only in America can a kid with a dream break a story with a pocket cam and $50 bucks in gas money that multi-million dollar news orginizations can’t seem to break.

It’s just like working at an oil or chemical company. Just because you have one or two employees working at the plant that decide to break the law or go against company policy by dumping tons of arsenic in the river does not mean every employee working at the plant are corrupt or that the company itself as a whole is corrupt. So the company shouldn’t have to pay any fines, or clean up the mess.
Right?
Henry, what we are up in arms about is the pattern that is appearant from the misdeeds of hundreds of their employees over at least the last year. This is just the icing on the cake.
The argument that the actions of a couple employees does not indict an entire organization might hold some truth if it addressed the problem. The problem is a clearly corrupt organization. Pimpin’ is just corroboration. As CB points out it is the degree that matters, not a single act. The evidence of corruption in ACORN is now so overwhelming that no one but an equally corrupt Obama “Justice” Department could ignore it.
HOW SHOCKING THAT CNN is EVEN REPORTING IT???????? It’s about time you start to see that you are getting CRUSHED by FOX NEWs because you dont tell ALLLL the news!!! NBC is in Obamas pcoket and the connections are disgusting. Nice job in at least telling the story. ACORN need to be investigated PERIOD. But he and his MOB on the hill will prevent that…it is CLEAR corruption, and using TAXPAYER funds!!

Wow what a scenario… I would said yes if Acorn was running a chemical plant…
hm
I wish Bush and Cheney were back in office for 4 more years. Hell make it 8 more years. I wish wall street was wall street again. I hope the Insurance companies keep raking in unbelievable profits because they really do deserve it.
I hope the richer get richer and the poorer get poorer. I want everything back they way it was before Obama took office. That way all would be good and happy in pleasantville. Nobody complaining about nothing. yeaaaaa that’s the ticket.
Too scared to go back and to scared to changed the future.
hm
#43 – “I would said yes if Acorn was running a chemical plant…”
Obtuse much. We need a better class of trolls around here.
Hey Henry!!!! Did you see the latest tape from the DC office, that makes two separate sites giving the same type of advice. How many more tapes do you think they have to release? Let’s just say there are 5 of them, then will you believe it is systemic to the organization and not a couple rougue employees?
Henry–I’m sure it’s just an odd coincidence, but today Fox has a video of essentially the same criminal activitiy in the Washington DC ACORN office.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,549241,00.html
The democrats will never investigate ACORN, afterall this is their election fraud unit.
There would not be a democrat party without the mainstream media propping it up.
#44 – “I wish Bush and Cheney were back in office for 4 more years. Hell make it 8 more years.”
OK I’m glad to see you come to your senses.
Let’s not forget, ACORN and SEIU are joined at the hip. They share the same national headquarters in New Orleans.
The democrat party is a criminal enterprise.
Two words: “I won.”
‘Nuff said.
There is breaking news about this. It appears that Baltimore is not the only city where this has happened. They convinced a Washington DC ACORN group to do the exact same thing. Check it out at:
http://biggovernment.com/
Michael, cnn, fox, abc, msnbc, nbc, cbs, and any other media outlet – suntimes, new york times, Washington post, whatever. Unlike most trolls I
know that say oh so and so media outlet said it or is reporting on it so the story must damn well be true.
I wait until the facts are in and all parties on both sides have had a chance to speak.
hm
OK I’m glad to see you come to your senses.
Boyd, If I was serious about that then guess where you would be right now. Jobless, uninsured, and homeless just like the rest of the whole country would be. Boyd don’t be the biggest Troll on here.
You can do better than that.
hm
The MSM does not report on events unless one of their fellow traveler organizations reports the story. An example would be last year when Fox News showed tapes of Rev. Wright for several months, and were ignored by the lamestream media. The left-wing media did not pick up on the story until ABC finally showed a few best of Rev. Wright tapes. When Obama told them to stop showing the tapes they obliged. Sad, but true.
And the only reason why ABC finally showed the tapes? They were clearly Hillary supporters from the get go, but when she lost the nomination they became 100% in the Obama camp.
62% of Dems and 90% of Pubs agree that the MSM was in the tank for Obama.
Henry have you seen the tapes? You can deny deny deny all you like, but they are pretty damning. This is the problem with our country. It is liek you are cheerign for your favorite football team and you refuse to find any fault in them. This organization is corrupt and you refuse to admit it because it is an arm of the Democratic party!!
Obtuse much. We need a better class of trolls around here.
Boyd, Who died and made you King of the Trolls.
Can we verify your criminal law degree sir.
hm
Henry, you truly believe the ‘richer get richer and the poorer get poorer’ is due to the Government?
The U.S. provides infinite ways to be successful in nearly every facet, field for any race, religion. It’s the INDIVIDUAL’s motivation, drive in order to find success. Not the present or past Government administration.
Poor Citizen, for ACORN employees not ‘knowing who Marx is’ is a ridiculous comment and/ or excuse.
Claiming ignorance of their deplorable behavior (ACORN, as well as these piece of garbage employees) is hardly a pass or excuse..
Funny, you’re headline screams “Lawbreaking”, but your article just spews some innuendo from Hot Air and John Boehner.
Where is the actual, physical evidence of lawbreaking?

Average unemployment in Bush’s 8 years – 5.4%
Average unemployment for Obama – 9% and rising
Yes, I remember jobs. Those are what people had back when Bush was President. You just gotta quit bringing a knife to a gunfight boy.
This is unacceptable and we are only nine months into The One’s term. Where will it end?
People should make no mistake about it.
Obama the Marxist Black Nationalist intends to turn America into a Marxist society controlled by Black people
When the animals control the zoo this is exactly what you get.
Average unemployment in Bush’s 8 years – 5.4%
Average unemployment for Obama – 9% and rising
Boyd, according to your stats, Bush 8yrs (5.4%) and Obama 9 months (9%). Can you expound on when the unemployment rate started to go up. Oh never mind, I know right before Bush left office and all hell broke loose for the next nine months.
What gunfight are you talking about girl? Be very careful you don’t shoot your little wee wee off or the insurance company may claim its a pre-existing condition.
You guys better not be mean to the ACORNers. Chimpy the Kenyan has promised many good paying federal jobs. That means that once the death panels get going, the lives of most seniors will depend on the very ACORNERers we are badmouthing now.
Henry, what we are up in arms about is the pattern that is appearant from the misdeeds of hundreds of their employees over at least the last year. This is just the icing on the cake.
ACORN has been a shady enterprise for way longer than a year-and-a-half:
This is the first article I read about ACORN, way back in 2003.
ACORN itself has been around for over 30 years.
Eric Holder? Isn’t he the same Attorney General that looked at the video tape of the Black Panthers outside the polling center on election day last year wielding clubs and said “Nope, no reason to pursue this further!”? That Eric Holder?
If he decides not to take legal action here we are left to deduce that he is either incompetent or is in favor of pimps bringing in 13 year olds to prostitute and black gangs with weapons scaring voters.
Wonder which one it is?
All you have to do is google it. Here it is:
http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=usunemployment&met=unemployment_rate&tdim=true&q=Unemployment+rate
There is another video on ACCORN released today.This time in Washington.AG Eric Holder what else do you need before taking some serious action against ACCORN.
Henry, you truly believe the ‘richer get richer and the poorer get poorer’ is due to the Government?
paul_unalaska, I agree that everyone in this country has an opportunity to be successful according to their desires. True success has always been on an individual level. This has always been true before Bush/ Obama /Marx and it will remain true after Bush/ Obama / Marx.
hm
Oabmbi is going down. He didn’t count on America to open her eyes. He was hoping we’d all act like the “Henrys” and “Mohos” on here. He assumed we are all idiots. Sorry sucka, you’re going down with all your grand plans and corrrupt associations. hope you had fun for awhile but the tide is turning and lady liberty is getting tired of your bullshit.
We’re onto you.
Lowest point in Bush years 3.6% end of October 2001. Highest point 7.1% end of December 2008. Average is 5.35%
Sorry, couldn’t resist feeding the trolls.
if the goverment wants to go after the LEADERS of ACORN fine by me.so far,all the suspected(video or not) criminal ACORN employees i have seen,including these and the ballot stuffers-have all been a bunch of nitwits.the ones in this particular video take the cake,too stupid even to demand kick-backs from the very lucrative pimping operation.
i have little interest in targeting the people being used by ACORN-the poor and desperate(in less it leads to upper management-which it won’t).it being similar to street level narcotics/prostitution busts:shooting fish in a barrel,with plenty more waiting in line.
i would love to see THIS guy(among many others) frog-stepped in front of a grand jury:
http://chieforganizer.org/about/
dave – please don’t feed the trolls. They’re losers who believe ACORN has done nothing wrong, they’re just pissed that we’re onto them. Have you ever been to Africa? I have, many times. It’s a currupt cess pool and everyone is on the take. America has thrown money at that continent for years and most countries are in worse shape now than they were 30 years ago. It’s a refection of ACORN and many of O’s cronies. They’re too greedy and corrupt to see how they are f-ing up our country.
We must get to the President and Congress and tell that we want prosecution and we want this organization stopped. Not one red cent more to these people. We must let them know we mean it this time.
Kudos to you CNN for reporting this and thanks also to Glenn Beck for his on the street reporting.
What is President ACORN going to do about this?
It’s always reassuring to remember that the far left is in charge of public school child sex education…
I agree that CNN and Glenn Beck should be thanked very much for getting this story out.
Would it be fair to say that all white people are pedophiles and like to kidnap and molest little kids. No
Would it be fair to say that all black people are lazy and ignorant and like watermelon. NO
I forgot what that is called. Oh I know its called being a racist bigot.
My point is this:
I did not start this blog with name calling. I wanted to have an honest and open discussion.
But if you feel that naming calling is necessary to achieve your objective, then I am cool with that. Let’s have a go at it shall we.
Tish#75 Thank you for that comment. Now I can tell what side of the pig you came out from.

the domocrta party is a criminal enterprise.
the obama administration is a criminal enterprise.
sad how peole are explaining and debating that the words that come out of obamas mouth are not entirely true or disingenuos or fabrications. ….Joe Wilson got it corret they are LIES. obama is a liar.

Right On! yell, scream, write, do something. Do not rely on CNN to make demands. I don’t give CNN one once of credit. They brought in 2 “players” to deflect, defend and accuse the messenger. I didn’t see the entire interview but somehow I doubt there was much in the way of probing questions or a counter point. NO no no, that would be playing Fox’s game and we all know how one-sided they are.

This is the same as HR 3200. We all read it, or watch these ACORN videos on youtube. Then the liberals want to attack those that have actually read HR 3200, or watched the video.
Of course the “main stream” media doesn’t cover it, or as the case with Van Jones avoid covering it until it is impossible to avoid it any longer.
Sorry, but we will believe our eyes not the lies you try to tell us about what we actually watched, or read.
wow I need to read my comments before posting. lots of spelling errors.
at least not lies. OBAMA IS A LIAR.
you proud now bitc….
Yo, yo, yo, We preachifyin’ to ‘da congregation!
“I won.” Ain’ no mo’ need be said.
“sides, gotta get ‘dem CIA crackas!”
ACORN is in the pockets of the Democrats using taxpayers monies. There is no federal investigation because there is so much corruption involved. This is so deeply distrubing at the amount of money going to them. Is it no wonder that this Congress is rated at the lowest levels ever. Any American elected representative in this Congress on either side this is disgraceful. No wonder there is no trust with this “new” administration of transarency and change.
As a Canadian, I am at a loss to understand how a group like Acorn can even exist. They received huge amounts of federal funds but they clearly only work for one party. How can this be legal?
MSM is carrying obamas’ water. does that make them the water boy or is that racist ??
acorn is doing the census ?? where the hell is Robert Mugabe when you need a thug.
and the trolls defend this crap ? they must have the intergety of …obama ..NONE !

Eric Holder is a is part of this mob. he will not do anything ..well he probably will defend them …I think he is one of the trolls commenting here. who else would defend this sh!t.

Re Henry #87: Well lookee here! We now have a “truther” in our midst. Let me guess Henry, you’re all for Obama turning 9/11 into a day of “service” now instead of honoring the lives lost? I noticed no comment on Holder and the Black Panthers or the ACORN lobbyists? Wondering why you chose to ignore the topic at hand? Hmmm….
I can understand you being peeved about the “YOU LIE!” comment the other day. Seeing Pelosi, Biden and Obama’s faces at being called out by my new hero Joe Wilson was PRICELESS and had to sting those who still polish Obama’s halo! I am feeling altruistic today though. Just for you Henry I’ll donate another tidy sum to the re-elect Joe Wilson campaign. Anything to see Pelosi’s face screwed up into that venomous stare once again.
The “forgive Henry for being a truther and forgetting about 9/11″ donation. You’re welcome Henry!

Amber, Breitbartsaid that he saw the business cards that these women had. They didn’t even have last names, only their first names and who knows if those names aren’t an alias. They cut the perps loose and other than knowing what they look like the Puppetmasters make it easy for these women to just disappear. Probably to work in a different city.

“How can this be legal”
It is not legal, but when you have Progressive Fascist running the government do not expect any investigation. And do not expect the NYT, WP, CBS,NBC,ABC,MSNBC,CNN,PBS,NPR,etc. demand a congressional investigation. This is the Democrat parties election fraud unit we are talking about, and only when the New York Times demands anything, will the Dems consider taking action.
The media will ignore this just like the marxist racist green jobs advisor last week.
I bet if I asked the question, who would you Trolls like to see as President of the U.S.A? My guess is no one on here can come up with an answer to a simple question. And don’t give me that crap about anybody besides Obama. I know you guys are intelligent enough to answer the question.
Let’s discuss…
hm
Henry you just got owned in #95.
“Obtuse much.”
Obtuse and apparently badly in need of a dictionary.
Acorn needs to be investigated propertly. (even with their new name they are the same) They have a non profit status and with all the questionable things going on the IRS needs to freeze their status and the govt needs to freeze all funding. They get enough from others as the tide foundation and Dems to start your researching. Voter fraud, muscle scare tactics, (I do believe if I threatened or harrassed someone I would be arrested) Their involvement with politics (Obamas campaigns) is against the rules for non profits. Yes will they try to say well uhhhh that is why an investigation must be done since as stockholders (our taxes are used) we need to know our money is not be squandered illegally. Not that it isn’t already but it’s time to put a halt to it one group at a time.
If ACORN had been doing these same things in support of Republican issues/candidates the indictments would have been flying months ago and CNN would be running nonstop coverage of the investigation.
ACORN is a cesspool of corruption that wastes millions of our tax dollars.
Mr Holder, where are the indictments? When will the investigation start?
Democrats will not even condemn serial tax cheats, corrupt politicians and criminals (Rangel, Pelosi, Murtha, Reid et al) in their own party. I’m dreaming to think they actually care that they fund criminal enterprises.
I guess we need some Community Organizing Reform.
87. Henry: “Why didn’t Joe Wilson holler Liar when Bush said their where WMD in Iraq. Maybe so many good soldiers lives would not have been lost for nothing.”
Because the majority of the GOP voter base is made up of racist southern whites. This had absolutely nothing to do with any actual lying, and everything to do with a southern good ole boy not wasting an opportunity to denigrate a successful black man.
By calling the president a liar, Joe Wilson is able to send a subtle yet effective message to his voter base: “Just like you, I have absolutely no respect for a black man in the White House, and do not believe that a black man has any legitimate claim to be president of white America. Therefore, I will ridicule him publicly to show you folks at home that we share the same contempt for, and distrust of, black men who rise above their station, and you will continue to support me and vote for me because I lend legitimacy to your racist and ignorant worldview.”
Where is Eric Holder? He’s probably trying to dig up more ‘dirt’ on our CIA & FBI; real criminals they are (as Yoda would say). ACORN cannot be prosecuted because it’s Obama’s team. Think ‘thugocracy’.
John Conyers stated a few months ago that ACORN would be subjected to a congressional investigation, and shortly after he advised there would be no hearings. His reason? “The powers that be would not allow an investigation”.
Eight former ACORN employees, some high ranking, have asked for an investigation, and audit of the books. The NYT spiked a story because the management demanded the investigation end.
Our government is corrupt, and the news media is corrupt. Fine state of affairs for U.S. citizens.
“”"”"”" Then we should all believe that the whole country is corrupt republicans, democrats, independents, hell everybody. Raise your hand if you do not have any skeletons in your closet. “”"”"”"
Gee, Henry, spoken like a true liberal: when a crime is committed, spread the guilt around to try to dilute the impact of the crime.
Why won’t Holder charge ACORN? Easy. He’s black, ACORN is mostly black and they promote black causes. End of story.
The simple fact is: the whole of the new administration in Washington is bent on cementing iteslf in power. There is no justification for a grant of billions (so I’ve read) of dollars to Acorn other than for them to undermine this country using the money granted ostensibly for non partisan efforts. And all this is being done through the executive offices of the President with a compliant and corrupt Congressional majority looking the other way, but providing the funds.
92. Canadian Mike: “As a Canadian, I am at a loss to understand how a group like Acorn can even exist. They received huge amounts of federal funds but they clearly only work for one party. How can this be legal?”
You misunderstand. ACORN exists to help people in underserved communities register to vote. People in underserved communities tend to vote Democrat because the GOP’s longterm crusade to destroy New Deal/Great Society legislation frankly does not appeal to many families who work multiple jobs and still struggle daily to make ends meet.
A lot of wealthy folks vote GOP. Does this mean that an organization that helps wealthy folks register to vote should be outlawed? Of course not.
The fault is not ACORN’s. The fault is the GOP’s for implementing a strategy meant to demonize the poor as minority thieves and welfare queens who are living high off the hog on welfare.
Dale,
Seriously, you REALLY need to wake up, man.
dale, I think you’ve worn out your race and class card.
ACORN has accomplished absolutely nothing to help the poor–They have, however, succeeded in tanking the entire US economy with their successful efforts to break the real estate and banking industries . They have also succeeded in forcing the poor out of the homes they could not afford, bankrupting them, diminishing their employment opportunities and–soon–so reducing the availability of credit that there will be far less economic mobility than most Americans have grown used to.
Congratulations Rathke, ACORN and SEIU–once again we see how the left can destroy what so many hard working and creative people built, a system that provided unprecedented opportunity for all.
troll arguments seem to be victimhood and blame the GOP for the crimes of acorn.
the more trolls the greater the truth in the article. the troll masters must be telling them which posts to attack since one of them stated they didn’t even read the piece.
loser nation …the United States of Losers
Dale.
There is not a walnut of truth in either of your posts (106 and 112). You have no idea who or what kind of people make up the GOP or, obviously, who runs and votes for the Democrats.
Bob.
Horse dooky. Voting registration materials are no less available in these “communities” than anywhere else. In fact, they’re generally more available in high-density areas. They’re available at any post office, through DMV, through the mail, at libraries, and many other government facilities. The need for a NGO to hold their hands (and forge their cards) is utter rubbish.
How to the “rich white folk” in flyover country figure out how to do it? Is there some GOP community organizer operation running around the back woods of Idaho making sure all the rednecks get registered?
Or just possibly these rednecks put the remote down, go to the local post office, and register? What a concept.
Dale @ 112 says, “You misunderstand. ACORN exists to help people in underserved communities register to vote”
I DO understand that ACORN helps to register illegal aliens, the dead, duplicate voters (‘vote early and often’), convicted felons with unrestored voting rights, etc.
And the “poor” you refer to do a pretty good job of “demonizing” themselves, without any help from the GOP. I watched a couple of them do just that on Glenn Beck’s program yesterday. ACORN is a criminal enterprise, run by criminals for the benefit of criminals. But don’t hold your breath waiting for criminal indictments on the Baltimore duo. If they were white they would have been in jail last night. Same with the Philadelphia Black Panther polling place thugs. If they had been KKK, they’d be convicted and sentenced by now. Hang onto your hat, we probably haven’t seen anything yet.
Dale:
“The fault is not ACORN’s”? Did anyone at the GOP have anything to do with the eagerness of ACORN employees to aid and abet child prostitution. Any normal person would have called the police, or at a minimum, asked the pimp and ho to leave.
It is especially unsettling to watch blacks so eager to abet slaverly.
Showing a prostitute how to file fraudulent tax returns shows that if the ACORN workers are not welfare queens, they are not any different in that they are trying to show others how to manipulate the system for illicit financial gain. They are also clearly criminals. GOP didn’t demonize anyone. They did it to themselves. If the shoe fits. . . .
Dale…I do not normally respond to trolls, but you are one dopey indoctrinated kid.
It just happens that seven out of the top ten riches congress-critters are Democrats. John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi are on that list.
Also, billionaires like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, George Soros, Peter Lewis, and Steve Jobs are all Democrats.
And lets not forget about the largest conglomerate in the world, General Electric, that uses their media arm as a propadanda tool for the Democrats so they can get special favors.
You probably are a well meaning kid, but unfortunately you are a product of our dolt-producing educational system.
Let me guess, all your left-wing teachers/professors told you paying high taxes was patriotic?
@112. Dale: – A lot of wealthy folks vote GOP…
Talking out of your @$$?
Again?
@87. Henry: – Why didn’t Joe Wilson holler Liar…
Try doing a little research next time.
Wake Up.
“Why won’t Attorney General Eric Holder file racketeering charges against this criminal enterprise?”
Because under the Obama Administration, criminal activity by Obama supporters is acceptable.

#111 Paul – “The simple fact is: the whole of the new administration in Washington is bent on cementing itself in power.”
Exactly. That is what makes this far more dangerous than anything else coming out of this administration. No matter how out of power one might feel the thing that keeps the peace is the understanding that the pendulum will eventually swing back the other way and any damage one sees the other side inflicting can be corrected. The implications of what ACORN is about are devastating to that understanding. As Paul says, the idea is to corruptly and illegally see to it that the pendulum never is allowed to swing again. Down that road lies despotism and civil war. Investigating and prosecuting these crimes will be a test of just how much this government really believes in our system and Country.
@22. MURANO: – …James O’Keefe, the premier FOX “gotcha” videographer and co-hort went to 6 or 7 ACORN places trying the same stunt. Every other one didn’t fall for their asinine story, and refused to help them.
Oops. Looks like you’re full of it. O’Keefe is turning ACORN’s own tactics back on them.
I wonder how many MORE vids O’Keefe has socked away demonstrating this insult to the Republic.
Sadly, the world could be shown fifty examples of this misfeasance and BHO’s entrenched, lying, Fifth Column media shills would simply yawn.
Can somebody – anybody, tell me just what an “underserved community” is?
In October of last year I asked why the Department of Justice had not yet instituted RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) proceedings against ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) and I provided examples of its numerous multi-state violations of criminal and election laws.
Since that time no RICO suit has been instituted, and yet even more information of criminal behavior by the organization has come to light.
Well if a Democratic and Republican Justice Department didn’t pursue an investigation or charges, I’d say that’s as good as proof as any that the crimes only happened in your mind.
You just gotta laugh at bufoons like Henry a typical liberal with the wind up knob in his back and when it is turned sprouts the same liberal mantra over and over and over. They always bring Bushes name up when Obama the Kenya Chimp and his pet Acorn are brought under scrutiny. This time for criminal activity.
Come on Henry…. Bush has been out of office for 9 months just how long are you liberal limp weenies gonna keep blaming Bush. The Kenya Chimp has been in office 9 months you cant blame Bush anymore. Oh wait I see if Obama screws up all the koolaid you drink still makes you liberals blame Bush that way your chimpy wont get blamed!
Liberal loons: You’ll be proud to know part of Joe’s warchest was donated in your honor! I’m sure he’ll make good use of it. I think I’ll make another donation in honor of all of the ACORN loonies headed into the annals of Obama’s historical record….

Brett Bauer: This just in! Another undercover ACORN tape. Census Bureau to cut all ties.
Poor Obama, his favorite partisan political group, Acorn, has just been divorced by the census bureau. Now if we can just get them de-funded of the eight billion of stimulus funds that Obama has scheduled for their corruption. Things are looking up, but we can’t let up with this buffoon in the White House, not until he is back in the slime and corruption of the South Side of Chicago.

“Sadly, the world could be shown fifty examples of this misfeasance and BHO’s entrenched, lying, Fifth Column media shills would simply yawn.”
and that’s all the more reason we need to keep this story alive. Peel back the layers until the exposure and rampant corruption are more than the MSM can handle. Thank you Glen Beck and thank you, Clarice for writing this piece and opening up the dialog. We can’t let another marxist in office ever again. Without ACORN, Obambi would be back in Chicago voting “present”.

That is GREAT news! I just caught it on Malkin too! YES!
#135 Tish
Same goes for SEIU which is joined at the hip with ACORN.
The NEA/White House connection should have been a bigger story than it turned out to be. Still time.
137…you have no idea what you’re talking about. Anyone who actually knows something about either organizations knows they have nothing to do with one another, outside of the fevered imagination of teabagging morons who think they’re out stalking the parents of handicapped teens.

“Well if a Democratic and Republican Justice Department didn’t pursue an investigation or charges, I’d say that’s as good as proof as any that the crimes only happened in your mind.”
Wouldn’t you prefer an independent non-biased Justice Department?
“Brett Bauer: This just in! Another undercover ACORN tape. Census Bureau to cut all ties.”
Happy to hear that but watch the back door.
This has been a pretty good week for us on the right:
Van Jones walks off into the sunset (follow him like a hawk)
ACORN is imploding (more work to be done)
Census Bureau distance themselves from ACORN
Pres O is called out as a liar (by my new hero)
Obambi is forced to change up his talking points to the kiddies.
Did I leave anything out? And to think we accomplished all this without a “leader”.
Democrat Memo: 9/12 movement may draw 2 million protesters to Washington.
This is an inflated number in order to make one or two hundred thousand appear small in number. I am predicting 150,000 for event. If you had asked me last week I would have said 30,000.
How about an apology? From ACORN.
Yep, I’m dreaming, there is nothing to apologize for as far as they are concerned.
I’m tired of my tax dollars supporting the enemies of civilized society.
The great day is coming fast, however, when all the give away will stop, because the jar will be below empty.
Back to basics, you work you eat, you don’t work you don’t eat.
I love simplicity, and terminal ballistics.
Wouldn’t you prefer an independent non-biased Justice Department?
Its not something you people seemed to care about before February.
Great news on census flushing ACORN. My wife and I had already decided to not allow any ACORN representatives into our home for any reason, census or otherwise. We will also research what is the minimum information we are required to give the census taker. We will offer nothing more than what we are required to give.
@134. Steve Sampson: – Now if we can just get them de-funded of the eight billion of stimulus funds that Obama has scheduled for their corruption.
Hard to imagine how anyone can justify giving them any money now that the Census Director has SEVERED ALL TIES.
.
@142. 907ie: – How about an apology? From ACORN. Yep, I’m dreaming…
Yes. Dreaming. Their response basically claims that it’s raaaaaaaciiiiiist!!!11!!1! to catch them in the act of breaking the law.
Poor Barry. Losing his Red Shirt army already.
143. Moho:
Again someone who has no idea what “you people” care about.
Somewhat of a racist comment though. Sounds like Moho is a stereotyping bigot.
Dale,
It is a disservice for you to say the things that you did. when you are explaining something to someone that really has no idea what is going on….try the truth. you’re so full of b.s. your eyes have got to be dk brown and runny by now… Yeah, ACORN…vote early and vote often…
.. an “unserved” neighborhood?
crap. You must keep your head in dark unsanitary places..probably at the ACORN office.. time to flush…
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Acorn Maryland Chapter Director’s response to Fox News reporting:
“It is clear and not coincidence that FOX continues to attack and divide our nation along racial lines. We believe our country is beyond this type of attack and call on all Americans to demand that FOX stop its racist coverage.”
As Instapundit comments, “I suppose it was racism when Acorn fired those people too, then. This whole thing is like a Saturday Night Live skit.”
Forget, folks. It’s all over (for this country.)
By 2012, ACORN and their type will have so many fake voters that Dear Leader will be elected “President for Life.” Kinda like Hugo.
We are doomed.
It is an interesting read on the biggovernment.com site to see the process behind the ACORN filming. The filmmaker O’Keefe simply used the tactics of ACORN against them. As he says, “Instead of railing against their radicalism, it is best to bring out this type of radicalism. Hannah Giles and I took advantage of ACORN’s regard for thug criminality by posing the most ridiculous criminal scenario we could think of and seeing if they would comply–which they did without hesitation.”
Sound familiar? It should since it is the tactic the trolls here use to great effect. Endless non-sequitur comments to insult, irritate and throw off pace in our case. The difference, of course, is that this is just debate. ACORN is serious business that is doing serious harm. We all owe a thank you to Mr. O’Keefe for exposing this.
What I love is how you people spent the last thirty years decrying political correctness, and now collapse into a veil of tears whenever even the vaguest innuendo appears about your ethnicity. Tell me, how do you people know I wasn’t speaking specifically of the people who post here? Is that bigotry now, you pearl clutching pansies? My god, if Reagan came back today to see what a bunch of self-victimizing cowards you’d all become…oh well, he’d probably think that was ok, actually. Then he’d forget about it five minutes later. The dementia, you know.
Goy, I don’t think Obama relies on integrity for any of his decisions, especially concerning the funding of his partisan political groups like Acorn, SEIU, and the AFL-CIO. We need to keep the pressure on, except for Joe Wilson, our leadership in the GOP seems to cower to the thugocracy of Obama. Keep the pressure on and hope we have leadership step forward.
Funding criminal organizations for political advantage is criminal and possible grounds for impeachment.
Long Live the Republic.
150, your timing is exquisite.
Gotta love it when the trolls play ‘dumb’ when people use their own tactics against them in an OBVIOUSLY sarcastic way. DUHHHHHHHHHH.
153. Steve Sampson,
Yeppers. The moment our guard lets down and the convenient ‘distractions’ come up that’s a signal there’s something ugly brewing. America has to remain vigilant no matter how calm the surface may ‘suddenly’ appear. Maybe I’m too cynical? Nahhhhhhhhhh.
Has anyone noticed the Acorn fiasco has not been reported on the major networks, namely ABC, CBS and NBC ? Also very little on CNN, certainly NOT on Larry King. Not to mention the major newspapers. Correct me if I’m wrong but I haven’t heard or seen it.
The only place I’ve seen it is Fox News.
I submitted a blog @ CNN last night but they didn’t see fit to show it. Must be politically incorrect!
Something is definitely wrong with this picture!
#152 Moho – quoting my favorite person, “… it is the tactic the trolls here use to great effect. Endless non-sequitur comments to insult, irritate and throw off pace in our case.” I knew I could count on your help to make my point.
I’m done now.
153. Steve Sampson: – I don’t think Obama relies on integrity for any of his decisions…
I don’t either. If he did, Tim Terrific wouldn’t be running the Treasury and he wouldn’t have had to fire Jones before his treasonous response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks was broadcast over every talk radio station and FNC yesterday. Jones isn’t just a Truther, he’s an outspoken terrorist sympathizer.
But I wasn’t referring to BHO. I was referring to the people tasked with controlling federal spending – the career criminals in Congress who expect to be re-elected next year, for starters. It’s clearer each day that they grow less and less willing to throw away their lifetime incumbencies just so BHO can turn America into his new, improved version of a fascist State.
So…you have two separate ACORN offices giving essentially the same advice on how to defraud the federal government and set up a prostitution ring?
I’m sure that’s purely a coincidence.
143. Moho.
“Its not something you people seemed to care about before February.
Seemed… Indeed.
I’ll rephrase –
Wouldn’t you people prefer an independent non-biased Justice Department?
Why won’t Holder prosecute? You might as well ask why Stalin didn’t prosecute Beria.
Acorn, Holder and Obama are the same entity.
because holder is now too busy trying to prosecute the whistle blowers.
Hey, I’m a leftie, and I agree with you about ACORN. Drop kick them off a cliff. Corruption anywhere needs to be opposed.
One thing about Alinsky. He wasn’t Marxist, had little use for them, and could not have organized Back Of The Yards, which was heavily Catholic, in Chicago in the 1930′s if he was, because he did so by forming a partnership with the Catholic Church who was strongly anti-Communist. This is well documented in his bio.

It is a sinking feeling to realize you are being sold down river because those in Congress are reluctant to rock the boat and lose their share of pork corruption that is the Stimulus Bill.
Although, we should be careful not to condemn men like Wilson who have the cojones to stand up to the Obama Juggernaut. Steven King R of Iowa, refer to his website, he is blaming Pelosi, Frank, and Obama for stopping his bills to stop funding of Acorn and calls for congressional investigation. We may have more patriots than we are aware of.
Long Live The Republic.
I thought that goes without saying, Mr Lucky. The question is what did you prefer before February. Pretty sure I know the answer.

ACORN scandal: Baltimore city state’s attorneys may bring charges…against the (fake) pimp and pro!
By American Girl in Italy
STATEMENT OF STATE’S ATTORNEYS OFFICE FOR BALTIMORE CITY RELATIVE TO THE ALLEGED BALTIMORE ACORN INCIDENT
Baltimore, MD – September 11, 2009 – We have received inquiries from citizens and the media asking whether the Baltimore City State’s Attorneys Office would initiate a criminal investigation for acts allegedly committed at ACORN offices located in Baltimore. The only information received in reference to this alleged criminal behavior was a YouTube video. Upon review by this office, the video appears to be incomplete. In addition, the audio portion could possibly have been obtained in violation of Maryland Law, Annotated Code of Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article §10-402, which requires two party consent.
If it is determined that the audio portion now being heard on YouTube was illegally obtained, it is also illegal under Maryland Law to willfully use or willfully disclose the content of said audio. The penalty for the unlawful interception, disclosure or use of it is a felony punishable up to 5 years.
Would it be really cynical to wonder if her decision to possibly prosecute the makers of the video, and not the ACORN employees, could be politically motivated or biased?
Now, perhaps Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe did violate some code about video taping without consent, but is that really the focus and main concern of Patricia Jessamy?
ACORN employees were instructing two people on how to manipulate the law, falsify federal documents and provide cover for underage sex slaves. And she wants to prosecute the people who exposed them?
Now, it’s no No-Doz worthy scandal, but Jessamy was accused by her opponent of accepting dirty money, and siding with criminals over cops.
NOTE: on the NoQuartersUSA website…there is a YouTube video of Jessamy praising Obama.

“The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the
oppressed.” –Steve Biko
I wouldn’t give a fig for a walnut let an ACORN that they can ever become a credible organization . That goes for the Bum in da White House too. It were music to my ears when did I hear this morn that they shut the door on ACORN doing the Census in 2010 . But what about the $4.9 Billion Obama already gave Acorn Community Organizers . to do the Census. We have a huge notebook of corruption complete with his CEO Car Dealerships and Scam Clunkers USA – with clearly 35 million real Clunkers still on the roads in the hands of Minorities/ Hispanics / Illegal Immigrants many of which have phony Licenses / Registrations .. When are we going to IMPEACH OBAMA ?
We need a Swat Team to take out all ACORN DENS of CORRUPTION out in all 27 states and lock em all up. Voter Fraud in 27 states is a federal crime … then use their own evidence to put them away for life ….. We should get COLD CASE OR CSI people to pull the plug on ACORN IF THE FBI/ FEMA/ The TEXAS RANGERS – THE LONE RANGER/ TONTO/ CISCO KID AND PAUNCHO can’t do it …. maybe BATMAN/ ROBIN OR WONDER WOMAN can get the job done .. We have more cops and special units today and they can’t catch a bank robber……..
Due to the nature of the “Divorce” and the Obama / Pelosi tendency to fund Acorn in a lavish lifestyle, they are eligible for 8.5 billion; will Acorn be eligible for subsistence payments or alimony. After all, they are an extreme partisan group with strong symbiotic relationships with Obama and the Democrat party. Losing the ability to manipulate the census will be a major political setback for Obama and the Democrat Party.
It is hard to establish these arranged marriages, the taxpayers have paid hundreds of millions to put Acorn in this advantageous position and now it appears this advantage has been thrown away by the fickle nature of the census bureau invoking vague notions of integrity and honesty. If DC is a no fault divorce area, Acorn will be entitled to even more funds. Obama may even invoke Executive privilege to give custody of the census to Acorn and instruct the Census Bureau to find another position. Divorces are messy businesses at best, with Obama officiating over the proceedings, the results can be bizarre.
….and as of October 2008, there were at least 294 front groups, nonprofits, and businesses related to ACORN, the vast majority of which listed their headquarters as: 1024 Elysian Fields Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana — the site of a now-defunct funeral home. What about them?
and what about the newest organization designed to “create a civial force with training equal to or better than our military”: Americorp, who just received 5 billion US taxpayer dollars. Why does the President want to sponsor a Civilian military force?
ACORN and AMERICORP should be forced to return all the monies they received. If a doctor had been caught performing fraud, as ACORN appears to have done they’d have had to return all the Medicare monies they’d collected plus penalties.
and just a reminder ACORN is eligible to receive more than 8 billion US dollars. Why isn’t there more outrage?

ACORN is still under investigation in many states for voter registration fraud.
And what about the organization Americorp, who received 5 Billion dollars to creat a group ” with training equal to or better than that of our US Military”. Why should the President want to create a civilian military force? Aren’t there laws against that.
And don’t forget, ACORN has already received many millions of dollars and is eligible for, if I recall, more than 8 Billion US dollars from the Stimulus Bill.
If a doctor had ever performed Medicare Fraud, he’d be expected to pay back all the monies he’d have received from Medicare with penalties. ACORN should be forced to pay back all the monies they have ever received and the 294 front groups for ACORN should be investigated as well.
Where is the outrage from the liberal media?
#150. We can prevent the use of many of those illegal voter registrations by having the ‘ink stained finger’ made famous in Iraq. One man-one vote.
we could take ACORN money and give it to the troops !
Why pay a bunch theives when we have real people fighting for our rights and safety. But at last Nancy,Harry, Barney, Barack aka Barry don’t have time to help they are to busy saving Charlie Rangel and paying millions to hide records.
But note they did have time to vote on Wilson
Who called it how he saw it.
“YOU LIE”
And many others see it that way .
Hey Joe take the smack but turn the other cheek just don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth with a fork tounge.
Americans WAKE UP
