ACORN's Bertha Lewis charged Tuesday that accusations about the embattled community organizing group are racist, alleging that a coordinated political effort started by former Bush adviser Karl Rove sought to stop the group from registering minority voters.
"For many years, there've been folks who've disagreed with our ideology or methodology that has gone after us," Mrs. Lewis, ACORN's chief executive officer, said in a speech at the National Press Club in Washington.
"I mean we, back going to 2004, we now see through e-mails from Karl Rove from the previous administration that ACORN itself was targeted, targeted to go after us so that we would stop doing voter registration because it was said that we were moving too many minorities to vote, changing the power dynamics on the local election and that we needed to be stopped."
She also labeled as racist the infamous videos that show ACORN workers advising a man and young woman posing as pimp and prostitute how to circumvent the law. "These new filmmakers, [James] O'Keefe himself, told The Washington Post, 'They're registering too many minorities; they usually vote Democratic; somebody's got to stop them,'" Mrs. Lewis said.

NO civil discourse is allowed anymore by the left everything is racist this and racist that...sooner or later its going to be rather uncivil.
But Michael Steele said she is such a wonderful leader!
Let’s face it - we’re all racists.
I am sick to death of being told I am a racist because I didn’t vote for Obama. It had NOTHING to do with racism. I’d vote for Michael Steele in a heartbeat. I voted against Obama because I don’t like Communists. So - I’m not a racist. I’m a Communistist.
Those are called state district attorneys.
I do not care about racism anymore, period.
Thank you, Left.....
I need to put a screen over my monitor before I read these articles on ACORN. Listening to them talk makes me spit soda out my nose in laughter.

Is ACORN an exclusively Black organization? I thought I saw a few Whiteys demonstrating for them. Is anyone else as sick of this endless race BS as I am?
Just throw the Jews in there and you’ve got a pot of that good ol’ conspiracy stew going!
Acorn should start championing honesty, and stop being the democrat party’s race-baiting finger puppet.
