ACORN, calling the actions of some of its employees “indefensible,” has suspended advising new clients as part of its service programs and is setting up an independent review to see what happened.

ACORN chief executive Bertha Lewis said in a written statement that she was “ordering a halt to any new intakes into ACORN’s service programs until completion of an independent review.”

ACORN, calling the actions of some of its employees “indefensible,” has suspended advising new clients [till they can figure out how to screen them to make sure they're legitimate leeches and not investigative journalists] as part of its service programs and is setting up an independent review to see what happened.”

They are not suspending operations. They are covering their rear ends and not accepting any new clients. They will keep on doing what they do.

“All human trafficking, advice on tax evasion, and low interest loans to pimps are hereby suspended until we get to the bottom of this.”

Don’t fall for it. It’s ‘temporary’ until the ‘smoke clears’. They’ll be back to ‘biz as usual’. Keep up the heat.

We all seem to have decoded this and come to the same conclusion.

It’s amazing how a vote in the Senate to defund Acorn’s operations brought such a turn around: from “we’re gonna sue Fox and those two conservative activists for FRAUD” to “gee, we’d better suspend our operations until we get to the bottom of this problem.” I don’t think for a minute they’re going away; they’ll have to be driven out.

It is the same quality of folks who are now running our foreign policy and our justice department.

Why are they suspending operations if the tapes were doctored and manufactured?

We need the political equivalent of Diazinon. If you just kill the roaches with something that then vanishes, they’ll just be back in a couple weeks.
