I’ve listened to the video twice and don’t find reference to Ayers being a co-founder of ACORN. I find the reference to his associate Wade Rathke being the founder of ACORN.

I’ve no doubt of Ayers involvement and support of ACORN- but haven’t found documentation anywhere of his being a co-founder.

That's correct. Ayers was not the founder of ACORN. He funded ACORN at CAC and at Woods, both with Obama. And both ACORN and the Weathermen were born out of the ultra-militant SDS. But Ayers is not the founder of ACORN.

The title of the thread should be changed from "FOUNDED" to "FUNDED".

Acorn has the education branch of ACORN. That’s where Ayers slunk around.
