What a bunch of maroons!

Beth Butler, the longtime executive director of Lousiana ACORN, was terminated by the organization's national leadership today, just two days after local ACORN leaders ripped President Barack Obama's planned itinerary for a trip to New Orleans this week.
The criticism of the Obama itinerary was actually voiced by Vanessa Gueringer, an unpaid volunteer who heads ACORN's Lower 9th Ward chapter.
"I'm thrilled that he's coming," Gueringer said Saturday. "But," she added, in remarks aimed at the president, "we want to see that change that you ran your platform on. We want to see the hope that symbolized your campaign in our neighborhood.
The comments prompted an immediate rebuke from ACORN chief executive Bertha Lewis, who said Sunday the remarks were "without authority and do not reflect the position of the national leadership."

If you or your minions challenge the administration, YOU WILL BE FIRED! On the other hand, if you or your minions engage in illegal voter registration or arrange to set up houses of prostitution, then NO BIG DEAL!
I guess its will be his own people that get fed up with his idiocy and bring him down. There’s nothing quite like a pissed off ally to be your worst enemy, and he’s doing a grand job of making that happen all over the world. Here’s to hope and change.
What a bunch of maroons!
Why is he making the trip? To be sure and cover up everything.
“We want to see the hope that symbolized your campaign in our neighborhood”
Do cathouses featuring underaged illegal immigrant girls count?
BTTT
That’s some pretty mild criticism to get fired over.
Gonna git me somadat free moneys.
....as if the nation needed any further proof that ACORN is and has been so far up Obama’s a** it’s utterly ridiculous.
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
As her brother might say, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
The Putsch is on!!

Pelican State ping
Butler, who has worked for ACORN for 37 years [Sidebar: Also, Wade Rathke's common-law wife], said her real sin in the eyes of the national organization's leaders was a failure to concede to their demands. In particular, she said, she had led resistance to a demand to turn over the land trust, called the ACORN Community Land Association of Louisiana, to the national group.
"We were told by national ACORN that we had to give it up to them, " she said. "We got e-mails threatening our jobs because we didn't push the land trust people to hand over property and money to the New York people who took over ACORN."
Butler passed along an e-mail message from Lewis calling Butler's behavior regarding the land trust "unacceptable."
The national entity is also making a play for roughly $90,000 in hurricane relief money controlled by the local group, Butler said.
"It's hardball here, " she said. "Our local resources are being spirited to New York. ACORN Louisiana is the most lucrative chapter in the country, and we knew they were aiming to take us over. There's a major meltdown in ACORN. They're trying to scramble all of us who would fight them."
...and the final payback from the Dale Rathke embezzling scandal.
Look for a "New & Improved" ACORN just in time to re-coronate zero. They will make the old ACORN look like the Cub Scouts.
