A local TV crew was on hand for more openly criminal activity by Obama's pals at ACORN - now they are sending teams of thugs to break into foreclosed homes and encourage the evicted people to "homestead." I guess "homestead" is the new progressive euphemism for seizing other people's property by force.
I wonder if there will be any investigations into what they are doing. I'm only kidding... no one will look into anything at all and we all know it. They're on the "Obama's Favorite People" list. It just gets you all excited about what all they can do with a fresh $4.1 Billion in hand, doesn't it?
"We are actually trespassing, and so this is a way of civil disobedience to try to stay in the house. Legally it's wrong, but homesteading is the only means that she has left to stay in her house. And we feel as though this is the right thing to do at this particular time to save this family."

LOL - hopefully you’re right and the new owner sues the panties off Acorn :)
This battle, if it is to be won by us, will be won with other weapons. It is the liberals who now have got the Maxim gun. Remember the anecdote about the two new staffers in the Clinton administration exiting the White House after the swearing in ceremony at the inauguration when an Air Force overflight occurred. The first staffer made a comment in denigration of the Air Force and the second reply, "it is our Air Force now."
It is Obama's Maxim gun now. We lost on the battlefield that really counts,the polling places, and we must find new ways to flank attack the usurpers of the Constitution. I suggest we consider Rico actions against Acorn which, you might recall, put the KKK out of business.
There is a way to reply to this type of overt criminality. We must expose these people for what they are - frauds.
On Feb 11th, on the ACORN website, Hanks is referred to as an ACORN leader. Her FORMER home at 315 S. Ellwood, Baltimore was purchased in 2001 at $87K - foreclosed on in 2008 with a 1st mortgage balance of (relying on the land records)of almost $200K. This woman took advantage of the appreciation in her home’s value and borrowed against its equity. No lender took this home from her - her own poor judgment or maybe even deceipt lost this house. Based on the reporting of her income - she would have only been able to qualify for the equity loan(s) on her home with either a stated income loan (where debt to income ratios could be manipulated) or a “no-ratio” loan where a borrower’s credit and their pledge to repay - along with title - secures the mortgage. On its very face, Hanks’ income didn’t support the loan she had even before the alledged adjustment that forced her into foreclosure. The only story here is how much BS will the public accept from groups like this before it wakes up.
I think there’s a whole lot of Americans who’ve been living in blissful ignorance, and looking the other way, who are politically correct, “nonjudgmental”, and “tolerant” to a fault, who are, and will be, getting their eyes opened wide in the near future and getting a crash course in reality—and I don’t think we’ve seen anything yet.
Let me see if I have this right.
An ACORN leader buys a home cheap.
Refinances it to the hilt and gets a loan almost two and a half times the house costs.
Lives large on that money until she is foreclosed upon because she doesn’t have the means to pay back the loan.
Gets evicted.
Then with the aid and assistance of a federally funded organization she belongs to, breaks into the house she once owned(?) after it has been resold to someone else and decides she can live there without paying one penny.
How soon until we have people homesteading into houses they never lived in simply because the law or Obama won’t do anything to stop them from doing so or worse yet moving into homes and tossing out the owners of said homes because they would rather have a fully furnished residence,
Oh, so if it doesn’t directly affect you it doesn’t matter? I have news for you: the decline in standards in society affects everyone.
You are a fugging idiot. Do you think that the thugs who break into the houses are actually taxpayers. 50% of Americans don’t even pay federal income taxes. In fact, I really doubt that you do.
You are a fool. Giving this unlawful BS your sanction? You belong on DU, not FR. This is not civil disobedience it is flat out criminal. Crime with a government ok BTW. You want to blame someone for the mess we are in you had better stop looking at banks and start looking at Democrat and RINO politicians.
Your response reveals your intellect... or lack there of...
Bar the doors, burn the house down. Others will think twice about occupying that which does not belong to them.
I found this version of what I think is the same video, it’s much funnier.

Coming from a dimwit with a thug’s soul I’ll take it as a compliment.
It’s not what is he afraid of?
It has to be what is he planning?
bttt
Your daddy was a dimwit with a thugs soul?
Wow.
“Its not what is he afraid of?”
Does your statement make a reply to my statements in some way .. I’m trying to figure it out.
Because .. I don’t think O is afraid .. I think he’s calculating .. but I’m quite confident he has made his greatest miscalculation regarding America and her citizens. The “silent majority” is still a force to be taken seriously.
While we may appear lazy (enjoying the fruits of our labor that we are still allowed to keep); while we may appear uncaring and the UN calls us “stingy” (we donate more money and services THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD); while we may hate politics and all it stands for .. we really distrust people who purposefully use us and our goodness to support their own distorted view of America, and then wilfully lie to us about their intentions.
We are not fools and we will preserve our freedom - no matter what.
“Does your statement make a reply to my statements in some way .. Im trying to figure it out.”
No CA. And yes, he’s calculating. And planning something.
I only hope there are enough people and enough strategic points to present a good defense of this country.
The south side of Chicago has gone national.
