ACORN whistleblowers say laws were broken [ACORN Scandal Worse Than Watergate--The Tip of Iceberg]
Columbia Conservative Examiner ^ | May 19, 2009 | Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 05/19/2009 9:17:27 AM PDT by Welshman007

A group of ACORN whistle-blowers known as 'ACORN-8' is making explosive allegations against their organization. The group contends that that ACORN has mishandled multi-millions of dollars of taxpayer funds and engaged in the breaking of federal law. The group is also calling on their fellow members to stop paying their dues until ACORN opens up its books for an accounting. And at the center of the whistle-blowers' concerns is an apparent conflict of interest that leads directly to Barack Obama.

The media won’t cover this. No one knows about it, no one cares, but did you know American Idol is on?!

We are so screwed.

I anticipate a fully transparent discussion of this allegation in the press.

And fully expect to win the lottery this week.

So me and my squeeze, Carrie Prejean, can celebrate with a night at mass.

Yeah, Carrie Prejean, that’s the ticket.

“leads directly towards Barack Obama”. Fear not ACORN, this will definitely get buried.

*The New York Times killed a story the day before the election that directly linked Barack Obama with ACORN’s deceptive practices. This allegation is corroborated by taped conversations between a NYT reporter and a source—a conversation that proves the Times had the story but made a conscious decision not to run it for the fear it would hurt Obama at the polls.

*The organization gets multi-millions of our tax dollars, money that is basically unaccounted for.

What we don’t know so far is the extend to which the corruption extends at ACORN. Allegations from the whistle-blowers suggest that so deft is the organization at shifting around funds it receives from the taxpayers that it is difficult if not impossible to arrive at a proper accounting.

ACORN Scandal Worse Than Watergate

That's NOT POSSIBLE. Watergate was with a Republican president...

ACORN is about a Dem president, therefore, it's not newsworthy.

How dare we blaspheme the annointed one...

The media will do their appointed job...and bury this story deep.

Just reading such things gives me HOPE that there can be CHANGE. Maybe it won’t be this item, but looking forward to the day...

Why are you altering the original headline.

How do you feel about this Welsh? Why are you posting?

Follow the money. All roads lead to our Community Organizer in Chief and the ways and means by which he was elected.

So we’re expecting the american press to cover this?

They’re going to expose their own complicity?

This will get written about in the british media - where no americans will read it and life will go on as Obama’s popularity polls remain high.

The media will give this story some coverage, but it will be reported from the following perspective: “The ACORN-8 is nothing more than a group of disgruntled, spiteful, non-credible individuals who were on the fringes of the organizaion’s activities, and are angry at the ACORN leadership for some perceived slight. They are therefore trying to damage the organization with these baseless allegations.”
