A new congressional report accuses the radical activist group ACORN of organized criminal activities. I will have a full article here on the American Spectator website in the morning about it.
The report, called "Is ACORN Intentionally Structured As a Criminal Enterprise?" comes from minority staff on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The ranking member on the committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-California), is appearing on the "Glenn Beck Program" on Fox News today to discuss the report.
The report, available here, contains information about the ACORN network's interlocking directorates, various unethical and possibly unlawful activities, and the shocking fact that despite its mounting legal problems, ACORN remains eligible for $8.5 billion in federal funds this year.
Here's an excerpt from the congressional report:
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud. Both structurally and operationally, ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.

ACORN IS organized crime.
So is the Democratic Party
Ergo....Acorn IS the Democrat Party
Racism!
“Is ACORN Intentionally Structured As a Criminal Enterprise?”
::::::::
Does a bear &^%$ in the woods??? Especially bears from Chicago....
Just saw it on Beck. Waiting to see more.
ACORN is involved in organized crime! I am shocked, I tell you I am shockrd. not
Beck also mentioned that AmeriCorp is corrupt and next on the list for investigation
“ACORN IS organized crime.”
Time to tie Obama to the money, and launch him.
NOOOOO! That’s just impossiball! Why, they just want to make sure the black get to cast their vote(s)! And certainly, the Democrat party is as clean and pure as the wind-driven snow. I mean, you ARE NOT who you associate with, right? Right!?
8.5 billion of stimulus money going to ACORN this year. Any nominee who runs on defunding these criminal bstards gets my vote.
1st step...Immediately pursue a RICO action against all officers of Acorn and successor organizations.
2nd step...Cut off ALL federal funds to Acorn and successor organizations.
3rd step...Ivestigate all ties between Obama and Acorn.
Our boy president shows the skills he learned from ACORN....plus, today Obama was ‘practicing medicine’ and he involved himself in the Gates mess/misunderstanding...it would seem there is nothing Obama can’t do...except lead.
I wonder how much of ACORN(read taxpayer’s) money went to build Obama’s fortune? Are there no records kept at all by ACORN as to how the money is spent?
Sounds like a RICO case
Evading taxes.
Obstruction of justice.
Embezzlement.
Investment fraud.
Engaging in racketeering.
...works for me.
And they’re getting billions of our taxpayer money.
