The ACORN Obama Knows

If you don’t know what ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is all about, you better bone up. This left-wing group takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers — you and me — and has leveraged nearly four decades of government subsidies to fund affiliates that promote the welfare state and undermine capitalism and self-reliance, some of which have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and encouraging voter fraud. A new whistleblower report from the Consumer Rights League documents how Chicago-based ACORN has commingled public tax dollars with political projects...

We need to know about this stuff.

[NCBraveheart]

We who care will know. The MSM, won’t report this.....EVER

It's been around a long time... the problem is, nobody reads
history anymore... and the DBM censures words like socialism
and communism.

A conservative grassroots war against the marxist nutcase organizations in this country is the only way we can combat the disease of liberalism, and begin to repair the damage done to America. At this point, we are losing this war.

I’m forwarding articles like this on a weekly basis to everyone I know. Every week, I’ll get at least one email back from someone I don’t know that was “awakened” by something passed on to them through the ever-growing chain of forwarded information. This is how a grassroots movement starts... with information, from the ground up, reaching one person at a time. That person contacts another, who contacts another, and so on... until the movement becomes mainstream and grows itself.

Repost these stories. Forward this information. Build the pipeline.

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, like barry, is an association of community AGITATORS sewing the seeds of discontent among the down trodden and most disenfranchised people. This organization has long been associated with voter fraud and is dangerously close to marxism and socialism.

Then report it on the web!
Who really cares about the lame and biased MSM?
Elections have to be wan against the MSM

[SueRae]

Yes we do need to know about this...I will pass it along...and write another letter to my Congressman (fruitless effot...mine is Sestak) but I have to keep hammering him on stuff like this. These people are criminal...I’m sure they’ll scream racism at the first whiff of an investigation.

[johnny7]

...and is dangerously close to marxism and socialism.

They're the real deal... probably worse... because they will not openly state they are Marxist.

[Ulysse]

You are losing this war against marxist organizations?

But are you only waging this war?And how?And who?

[vetvetdoug]

No more incredulous than the monies collected by the NAACP, ACLU, SPLC, and other so called altruistic organizations.

OK, this is an accepted fact, and has been for years. Can we now move on to the matter at hand?

[the invisib1e hand]

Chicago is clearly the preferred base of gangsters since Al Capone.

[docbnj]

I am sure that Barney Frank’s committee will be eager to investigate this!
(A little sarcasm to start your morning right.)

[Jabba the Nutt]

Huh, no. It won't take a conservative grassroots rebellion. All it could've taken was the Republican majority in the House, the Senate and a Republican President to de-fund them.

BUT they didn't do it. They didn't do much good, which is why Republican voters gave up voting for them. What was the point?

Under the guise of “consumer advocacy,” ACORN has received money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD funds hundreds, if not thousands, of left-wing “anti-poverty” groups across the country led by ACORN. Last October, HUD announced more than $44 million in new housing-counseling grants to over 400 state and local efforts. The White House has increased funding for housing counseling by 150 percent since George W. Bush took office in 2001, despite the role most of these recipients play as activist satellites of the Democratic Party. The AARP scored nearly $400,000 for training; the National Council of La Raza (“The Race”) scooped up more than $1.3 million; the National Urban League raked in nearly $1 million; and the ACORN Housing Corporation received more than $1.6 million.

WTF???

There's one thing in our esteemed leader (GWB) considering the office of Presidency to be such an ignoble position not to be tarnished by the likes of demeaning himself by EVER defending himself against scurrilous attacks, much less EVER go on the offense in criticizing any opponents, but yet another matter all together when agencies under the Administrative Branch (which last time I checked he "controls") are allowed to provide the proverbial rope (funding) to his/our enemies with which they wish to hang and destroy Bush and us Conservatives as a group and seriously undermine the Conservative movement.

Come on George, how about forgetting all the niceties of the Presidency; grow a pair or ask Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, et al, to release "yours" from the lock box they put "them" in back in 2001 and act like a real "Conservative" man (can you say Ronaldus Maximus) for a change.

Can Junuary 20th 2009, come soon enough? As someone who voted for W twice, I suggest NOT!!!!

Anything with the word “Community” in it is suspect in my book - it’s code for free lunch and gimme money!
