' The Issa Report- ACORN "a criminal enterprise..."'--Click the picture:
Posted on 09/26/2009 10:18:11 PM PDT by BAW
While everyone in Washington is suddenly pretending they've hardly ever heard of ACORN, they might want to pretend they've never heard of the SEIU, one of the nation's largest unions.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now and the Service Employees International Union are as tight as Heidi Klum and a new pair of jeans.
You don't think about one without the other.
You also don't talk about either organization without mention of Wade Rathke, co-founder of ACORN and founder of SEIU Local 100 in New Orleans. Rathke, who resigned from ACORN last year as "chief organizer" after it became known that his brother embezzled almost $1 million from the association, continues to run Local 100, as well as ACORN International, recently renamed Community Organizations International.
Rathke's social justice empire is so vast that he is more hydra than man. Nine heads are surely better than one when you're organizing communities in at least 12 countries. While Rathke and ACORN undoubtedly have done much good for impoverished people here and abroad, it appears likely that American taxpayers indirectly have been helping to underwrite unionizing activities and advance political goals through the commingling of Rathke's various interests.
As an ironic sidebar, America's health-care reform debate could become stalled -- not by Senate Republicans demanding a cost analysis (how mundane) but by dot-connecting prompted by the Halloweenish ACORN sting starring a faux pimp and prostitute.

Ping.
You don't think about one without the other.
Yes, I do.
Frequently.
PLEASE give Katty Parker no hits!! Please.
She’s right, but I hate the dirty bitch and will not read her column.
Kathleen thought she would be riding on dear leader’s coattails...dashed dreams.
Congress gives big bucks to ACORN...ACORN uses it in support of their candidates...then gives big bucks in contributions to Congress campaigns....Congress is as rotten as the seed ACORN...
You want to bet!
House "conservatives" like Kathleen Parker have paid little attention until now, although posters at FRee Republic were yelling this from the rooftops long before the election. But Kathleen "The Useful Idiot" Parker does not have much to say about how well connected her candidate of choice is to both the SEIU and ACORN. He was not "once" their lawyer. He is into them and vice versa like conjoined twins -- or in this case -- triplets. An ugly image indeed, of a truly repulsive criminal enterprise, and the President it owns.
All this is but a shadow of the evil power they will control when Card Check and the fraudulent and forced unionization it brings with it is made law.
Get ready for Wagner Act 2.0, and then, the Deluge.
Wow. Another worm turning.
She’s been too busy with her PDS.
The first time I’d ever heard of the SEIU was when I saw this video of a La Raza rally in L.A. They turned out to be as bad as the video would suggest.

I agree. She has proven she is a loser. She will sell herself out the higest bidder.
Ann Coulter skewered the ridiculous Katty in an article a few weeks back—check it out if you haven’t seen it. It’d be at anncoulter.com
