Acorn Suspends Operations

[Still Thinking]

ACORN, calling the actions of some of its employees “indefensible,” has suspended advising new clients as part of its service programs and is setting up an independent review to see what happened.

ACORN chief executive Bertha Lewis said in a written statement that she was “ordering a halt to any new intakes into ACORN’s service programs until completion of an independent review.”

ACORN, calling the actions of some of its employees “indefensible,” has suspended advising new clients [till they can figure out how to screen them to make sure they're legitimate leeches and not investigative journalists] as part of its service programs and is setting up an independent review to see what happened.”

[La Lydia]

They are not suspending operations. They are covering their rear ends and not accepting any new clients. They will keep on doing what they do.

[SpaceBar]

“All human trafficking, advice on tax evasion, and low interest loans to pimps are hereby suspended until we get to the bottom of this.”

[unixfox]

Just wait till the FBI finds out. hehe!!

[Travis McGee]

Ponder this: The same quality of folks will be manning the front offices of our National Socialist Health Care System.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Don’t fall for it. It’s ‘temporary’ until the ‘smoke clears’. They’ll be back to ‘biz as usual’. Keep up the heat.

[Still Thinking]

We all seem to have decoded this and come to the same conclusion.

[hadaclueonce]

salt the earth, never let anything grow from them again.

[dalebert]

thats not good enough we need a real investigation and a real audit

[cripplecreek]

Riiiiight.

[South40]

Just wait till the FBI finds out. hehe!!

Just wait until Charlie Gibson finds out.

[Still Thinking]

ROFL!

[hsalaw]

It’s amazing how a vote in the Senate to defund Acorn’s operations brought such a turn around: from “we’re gonna sue Fox and those two conservative activists for FRAUD” to “gee, we’d better suspend our operations until we get to the bottom of this problem.” I don’t think for a minute they’re going away; they’ll have to be driven out.

[La Lydia]

It is the same quality of folks who are now running our foreign policy and our justice department.

[Panzerlied]

LMAO!!!

[teletech]

Anyone buying this?? Anyone???? (crickets)

[Rastus]

Why are they suspending operations if the tapes were doctored and manufactured?

[South40]

I sent that via email to their San Diego office.

We need the political equivalent of Diazinon. If you just kill the roaches with something that then vanishes, they’ll just be back in a couple weeks.

[Revolting cat!]

They still have our $4.5 billion to buy themselves good paper shredders!

[LasVegasMac]

and is setting up an independent review to see what happened.

How about somebody else do that "independent review"....?

Like, not of your choice.

The independent investigation of ACORN, led by Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton, found no problems with ACORN operations. Case closed. Move on, people.

[penelopesire]

Shredder trucks disguised as ‘independent reviewers’ on the way to headquarters now. (eye roll)

[Secret Agent Man]

THey went on to explain:

“We need to really make sure that the pimps and hoes that come to us for advice on prostitution, human trafficking, and tax evasion, are actually REAL pimps and hoes.”

[gaijin]

OK well I hope they still have a stock of films they can very gradually trickle out, the better to extend this fallacious “suspension of operations”.

[South40]

It is the VERY folks who are shaping Obama's presdiential agenda. He said so himself.

Well, there was one problem. ACORN had a little trouble moving the hush money from one account to the other to pay off Jesse Jackoff and Al Sharptongue by the time they wanted. Other than that, no.

[Mad Dawgg]

"Why are they suspending operations if the tapes were doctored and manufactured?"

Or better yet is this laugher they tried to slip through the news cycle:

ACORN: "We knew they were filming us so we played along for laughs"

OK but were the folks you fired in on the joke?

[Still Thinking]

We should all send them one of these:

[waterhill]

Prayers for the ‘filmmakers’... May GOD keep you safe from these thugs.... They are probably looking for you....

[bigbob]

You can bet they’re also just buying time to put steps in place to make sure there are no more “pimp and hooker” interviews. (ACORN staff evidently don’t watch Fox News). There’ll probably be an ACORN lawyer sitting in on every interview from now on...not that it would take much to sting them either.

[Rastus]

I’m available to protect Hannah Giles 24/7. ;-)

[Secret Agent Man]

You can always mail them a few of these:

[cripplecreek]

Obozo is going to have a little trouble putting distance between himself and the ACORN network with that video out floating around.

Hey Trav, are you psychic?

[South40]

But it will never be seen anywhere other than the Internet & FNC.

[cripplecreek]

I too have a dream.

[Revelation 911]

i can be having the worst day....but when i see that graphic i always laugh - thanks

[Travis McGee]

[South40]

You are welcome.

I wonder how the folks at ACORN San Diego felt when they opened my email and saw it. :-)

[annieokie]

me too.

[annieokie]

You sent the HA HA graphic to Acorn San Diago? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA......Priceless. Good job.

[South40]

:-)

Thanks.

I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from you too.

caacornsdro@acorn.org

[annieokie]

Nah!! Think I will stay away, they may give me some kind of undesirable disease or bedbugs. You are braver than I am, keep up the good work. That graphic is so funny, I always enjoy seeing it.

[ThunderSleeps]

Bull. ACORN is an obviously criminal enterprise. They are more likely to be hoarding funds to attempt bribes and payoffs to save their sorry backsides. Failing that, they may take some of the money and run, flee the Country. I hope someone is keeping close tabs on their “leadership.” Be interesting to see who fights, who cuts a deal, and who bolts.

[dalereed]

The roaches just changed their name to COI, Community Organizers International, and abandon ACORN.

[Revelation 911]

OMG - thats even funnier

[Revelation 911]

we should make it standing FR policy to flood the snail mail of each acorn office with copies of that
