GOOD!
If the Washington ComPost reports it I’m naturally suspicious. It could be a smokescreen mea culpa to get the light & heat off of them while still raking in money through a number of back doors.
Note the Ford Foundation as most have been taken over by libtards. Conservative have real jobs.
Oh My.
Good haPPens.
Henry Ford must be spinning in his grave.
Better pass ACORN a lube gun while it’s under all those buses.
Not to worry—ossama obammy will take care of his vote getting machine!! WITH OUR MONEY
It demonstrates how slip-shod these big foundations are.
They will probably fund their front groups directly
And none of them were good stewards of their Foundation’s money. What was it exactly that blinded them to what was really the agenda behind these groups.
I can tell you firsthand that I have had to review ACORN grants for a religious organization and, never having even heard of ACORN before, upon reading the grant request I understood immediately what the agenda was - it was a front operation for Democrat liberal political organizations under the disguise of seeking to reform societal structures to eliminate poverty. The only poverty they were eliminating that I could see was their own.
Their “community organizing” was campaign Obama and any other left wing democrat politican. We denied their grant request before any of this recent scandal ever hit the airwaves. Thank God for people like Glenn Beck who have alerted us to these frauds operating in the Democrat party.
And to think none of this was important enough to report on just weeks ago.
How about two big ones?
The TIDES FOUNDATION!
OBAMA’S PERSONAL SNAKEOIL THUGOCRACY!
Some kind of a Soros outfit should step in any minute to make up the difference.
Too bad for APORN.
Need to watch and see if the money is poured into other groups.
ACORNS IN THE WHITE HOUSE
(1) ACORN's man in the Obama White House is longtime ACORN operative Patrick Gaspard. He holds the title of White House political affairs director, the same title Karl Rove held in President Bush's White House. He's the President’s fixer and the man who gets ACORN projects and money. Gaspard once worked for ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis.
(2) Patrick Gaspard’s brother Michael Gaspard works for The Advance Group. Michael Gaspard works for ACORN’s registered lobbying organization and with ACORN’s national spokesman Bertha Lewis. Michael apparently keeps a lower profile than his brother. He does not appear on lobbyist disclosures for The Advance Group NY State. Nonetheless, he works there. Ms. Lewis’s contacts list confirms Michael Gaspard’s employment there.
(3) ACORN Shaun Donovan. Mr. Donovan is HUD Secy. Before that, Mr. Donovan was NYC Commissioner of Dept of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD)---where Donovan worked on affordable housing initiatives----projects right up ACORN’s alley.
(4) ACORN Karine Jean-Pierre is WH liaison for Dept of Labor (headed by latino agitator Hilda Solis). Karine once worked for John Edwards (vertical or horizontal?). She left there to work for Cong Anthony Weiner, then became Barack Obama’s regional political director.
The web of connections from ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis straight into the White House, out the other door into HUD and the Dept of Labor (headed by latino agitator Hilda Solis), then circle back to ACORN’s lobbying operation.
ACORNS EVERYWHERE 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.
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.

Shame on the Ford Foundation... Shame on the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Marguerite Casey Foundation and Bank of America... What were they thinking
