Whatever happened to “looters will be shot”?

You beat me by seconds dude!

ACCORN - I think we will be seeing allot of them over the next 4 to 8 years.....

[Danae]

ACORN CAUSED ALL THIS MESS TO BEGIN WITH!!!

With their use and abuse of the Congressional Black Caucus, and its manipulation of the Banking industry using the CRA and the 1992 Reform Act, ACORN is DIRECTLY to blame for the Failed mortgages and all those people kicked out of their homes that they CLAIM to be trying to help. ACORN cut those people's throats and now is offering up the sutures to sew the bodies back up. HYPOCRISY!

Executive Amnesty coming.

[Madame Dufarge]

ACORN is making the mistake of thinking that they'll be seen as heroes outside their echo chamber.

I hope they keep overplaying their hand.

“With restructuring of the loan, everyone wins.”

Umm - I think the math is a little off here. What about the Taxpayer? Oh, I forgot, to these Socialists/Communists that money is free.

[Anti-Bubba182]

It’s Baltimore, the police will be gentle. ACORN members should be arrested with Baseball bats.

[ronnyquest]

So, it’s begun. There will be more. It will become violent at some point soon.

Something like this group will lead us into the coming Social War. Eventually a group like this will cross a line.

The people are merely commom criminals and should be treated as such.

Document drop: The truth about ACORN’s foreclosure poster child

While things aren’t as bad (yet) as the 1929 Depression, the parallels are uncanny. I’m reading Stud Terkel’s book, “Hard Times” and just encountered a section where he’s interviewing ex-Communists who tell of “organizing the people”, invading foreclosed houses and putting the dispossessed people back into their homes.

Read the book and see current-day people/politicians revisit the same mistakes because they refuse to learn from history.

[Recovering_Democrat]

A mere sideshow. Hussein will give ACORN payback and in turn they will provide his candidates in the 2010 elections with more voter fraud.

Start the goosesteppin’ practice in your front yard, Hussein will require it all soon.

“This is our house now,” ACORN member Louis Beverly reportedly said after cutting a lock with bolt cutters at the home.

They're treating us like dogs.

Don't forget the prime ACORN enabler.

ACORN benefactor/organizer/ trainer Barack H. Obama, Esq., contributed to the hostile environment for banks when he represented ACORN in the 1995 class action lawsuit against Citibank ........demanding the bank grant mortgages to an equal percentage of minority and non-minority mortgage applicants.

We're finding out now that some of these "homeowners" were illegals who were never asked for proofs---pay stubs, SS numbers, etc. As long as the applicants had a pulse and could write their names, they got the loan. Food stamps were considered a gauge of income.

Many of these loans were flipped back and forth among illegal immigrant families for higher and higher profits, duping the banks at every turn. When they did enough damage, the last "homeowner" defaulted and departed for Mexico with thousands in cash.....leaving the bank (and taxpayers) holding the bag.

=========================================

Carter-era Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which opened banking to ACORN-style agitation that over time weakened underwriting criteria and helped to alter the culture of financial institutions in the U.S. This 1977 law, whose enactment ACORN lobbied for, punishes lenders for limiting loans to wealthier, more creditworthy markets, a practice called "redlining." It gives banking regulators discretionary authority to make trouble for banks that fail to lend enough money to "underserved" minority communities.

ACORN refuses to acknowledge its role in the current crisis.... Michael Ettlinger of John Podesta's Center for American Progress feverishly derides CRA critics as "antigovernment ideologues," while Business Week's Aaron Pressman calls them "know-nothings."

Not to be outdone, ACORN ally House Financial Services Committee chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass) says criticism of CRA law is tantamount to attacking poor people and minorities.

......even as the economic fallout spreads, getting these class-warriors to admit they're wrong about anything is an exercise in futility. Liberals reflexively defend ACORN----twisting themselves into rhetorical pretzels defending the catastrophic economic egalitarianism of the CRA.

[SunkenCiv]

An activist with ACORN -- the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now -- faces criminal charges after breaking into a home in southeast Baltimore on Thursday to protest the foreclosure crisis sweeping the country.

Yeah, I'm sure he was just "protesting". When I knock over a bank, I'll be protesting the bailout, and this message will prove my innocence.

With billions of dollars just handed to them and their best buddy in the WH, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
