ACORN doesn't like it when large and powerful organizations don't pay their taxes. Why just two months ago, the group picketed the Philadelphia Eagles over this very issue.
THERE'S NOTHING like a good old-fashioned tailgate party during the offseason. In Wynnewood.
About 50 people passed around grilled hot dogs - chanting "Pay, Eagles, Pay" to the tune of the team's fight song - in front of team owner Jeffrey Lurie's Llanfair Road mansion yesterday to urge him to fork over the millions of dollars that the team owes the city.

Rent a mob picketed the Eagles? What a bunch.
Ping.
What is ACORN doing there?
What do these people do for jobs? or are they using the billions of taxpayer stimulus dollars to stage protests?
Picketing over past due taxes at the same time they themselves had past due taxes. What a bunch.
They do all sorts of stuff: register voters, stop foreclosures, health care for poor folks, homeless relief, among many grass roots activities. That’s their legit work, and the criminality is another matter.
Nice way for an organization that is supposed to help the poor to do. Screw over their employees.
This bunch needs a review by some government agency looking toward theft and fraud charges against their leaders.
To be fair, they were supposed to withhold those taxes either way. They were in this case screwing over the federal government and several statement governments since they were then supposed to pay those governments these withholdings. Either way, this is pretty obscene.
I beg to differ with you: Voter registration fraud is where they get into trouble the most. And who are they to get between a mortgage company pursuing their legal rights and the borrower who’s not making the payments? Or do you think that all contracts are now null and void since the Messiah ascended unto his throne?
