ACORN and Their Allies on the Left Lambaste Giles and O’Keefe’s Politics and Faith

Let me see if I have this right: ACORN, in five locations coast-to-coast are on tape counseling tax fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, and the coup de grace, how to set up a whorehouse for 12 to 15-year-old El Salvadoran sex slaves, and now ACORN and the Left are POed about it being exposed without ACORN’s consent?!

What else ticks the Left off about ACORN being uncovered assisting in some of the worst kind of scandalous scat known to mankind?

Well, if you Google around you’ll find the “progressives” are peeved not because ACORN had the spotlight bare down on their dirty deeds done on our dime but because of the fact that Hannah is part of the Young America’s Foundation and James, at one time, was a member of the Leadership Institute. That’s crazy! Run for your life, people! Hannah and James have been influenced by conservative principles and traditional values! Run away!

Yes, according to some the shame should fall on Hannah and James for hanging out with college students who love America and our founding documents. We can’t have that, now can we?

Also, I have to chuckle every time I hear Hannah referred to as a “political activist.” That’s some funny stuff. I have lived with Hannah ever since she came out of her mama’s belly, and I can tell you the extent of her “activism.” Are you ready? Brace yourself. You might want to sit down. Here it comes. She voted this past election for McCain, she went to two YAF.org conferences as a teenager in ‘07 and ‘08, and she interned for the National Journalism Center this past summer writing columns on economics. Oh, and I almost forgot: She went to a tea party last April 15th. I guess that “radical activist” resume puts her right up there with Bernadine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Van Jones and Che Guevara.

Listen all on the left and the right: Hannah’s motive for doing what she did to ACORN was moral, not political. Her BS detector went off on that organization, and she tackled it. It’s that simple. And I can guarantee, those on the right, that if you’re ACORNing around doing equally whacked smack, when Hannah gets freed up from lassoing this tornado you could very well be next. In Hannah’s world, crap is crap no matter how it’s politically framed.

In addition to their political penchants, Giles and O’Keefe’s faith has come under fire. Yep, because they confess they’re sinners who trust in Christ’s substitutionary sacrifice for their salvation, they must be bad and crazy radicals.

It seems that conservativism and orthodox Christianity in this twisted theater of the progressive absurd are the evil entities and not poor wittle ACORN. I guess the progressives’ strategy to cover ACORN’s compost can be summed up in a nutshell: lambaste Giles and O’Keefe for their politics and faith and ignore ACORN’s in-frickin’-sane corruption. How quaint. How . . . progressive?

Here’s a little FYI to ACORN and the few media outlets defending ACORN by defaming Giles and O’Keefe’s faith, politics and tactics: You are ticking off the majority of Americans breathing air on our God-blessed United States soil. If you don’t believe me, just ask Frank Luntz.

In addition, you might wanna note that the U.S. Census Bureau and the Internal Revenue Service severed ties with ACORN because of these videos; the House and the Senate voted in an overwhelming majority to defund ACORN; and the Treasury Department and the DOJ are smelling rats, as well, and are going to take a looky into this organization rightly named after a nut.

O’Keefe’s defense fund is forthcoming.

Predictable they would go here.
As with the way they went after Rush and Beck,
their routine is to smear the messenger rather than
self-examination of the corruption exposed. Projection.

I can't figure out why everyone's getting down on a thieving crew of tax-evading child sex-slavers, when the Evil Tom Delay is exploiting his connections to schmooze his way onto "Dancing With The Stars"!

For Shame! EVIL! EVIL! EVIL REPUBLICANS!!!

THIS JUST IN After ACORN workers were caught on tape advising an undercover "pimp" and "hooker" how to cheat on taxes and get federal funds to run a brothel.... ACORN organizer Bertha Lewis is begging for donations and blasts Congress for cutting ACORN's money.....blaming it all on the VRWC.

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

Senate Finance Committee Study ACORN comprises a mind-boggling 94 different affiliates, that amounts to "a big shell game," a biting Senate Finance Committee study shows. The study, by the staff of Iowa Republican Charles Grassley, reveals four ACORN charity groups give more than half their revenue to taxable entities that engage in "impermissible lobbying and political activity." ACORN and it’s subsidiaries for decades have moved taxpayer money into their own pockets and into the left-wing Marxist machine. These tax-exempt N/P scams need to be shut down pronto.

Sen Charles Grassley's documents show leaders of ACORN community groups transferred several million dollars in charitable and government money-----meant for the poor---- to parts of the group that have political (and sometimes profit-making) missions. Sen Grassley's documents indicate that ACORN's tax-exempt groups----along with its tangled web of allied organizations---- used more than half their charitable and public money in 2006 to pay other ACORN affiliates.

The IRS has pinpointed N/Ps as the locus classicus for tax evasion and money laundering. The BIGGEST N/P fraud --- a N/P writing checks to another N/P. That's how the "altruistic" siphon off money for other uses, tax-free. Bad enough they launder their own money----in ACORN'S case, this was OUR money.

REMEDY (1) Taxpayers demand an injunction requiring states immediately cease accepting so-called voter registrations submitted by ACORN, and that all current voter rolls be cross-referenced against ACORN'S lists of 'registrations' already submitted to nullify any and all voter frauds committed.

(2) Taxpayers demand all govt funding of ACORN be stopped at once.

Let's get this highly publicized.
