CNN) -- Community organizing group ACORN, investigated this year for filing fraudulent voter registration forms, has fired two board members it had asked to investigate allegations that an ACORN founder's brother embezzled nearly $1 million.

The fired board members were investigating allegations that money was embezzled from ACORN eight years ago.

An internal document from the ACORN executive board, obtained by CNN, shows that members Karen Inman and Marcel Reid were "removed from any office or committee position you may have held."

A separate document says that "the memberships of Karen Inman and Marcel Reid in ACORN is canceled, and they are removed from the Association Board."

I’m thinking they failed to figure out why the guy telling them to conduct a complete investigation kept winking at them. They’re probably guilty of actually investigating.

Reid and Inman will be found guilty of jaywalking and sent down to Gitmo once Obama has released all of the terrorists down there.

Let me take a wild-assed guess: they actually took their “investigation” seriously, and now discover that fellow ACORNscum did not mean it when they said “investigate”....

Notice that the people fired were the ones INVESTIGATING the fraud, NOT the ones that they found COMMITTING the fraud.

Bookmarked.

Our government must stop funding NGOs and rescind their tax exempt status. They are a major reason our Republic is becoming extinct.
