Not that ACORN and friends were real concerned about it but it sounds like media matters was taking millions in donations for one thing and doing another.
That kind of fraud isn’t new but they’ve gotten away with it for so long that they’re completely comfortable with it. We saw the left wing groups collecting money for various causes and turning around and handing money to the OWS crowd.
ACORN itself was created through fraud in a sense. I saw an interview with Wade Rathke as he explained that he approached the forerunner of ACORN and told them his plans. They told him that he couldn’t do what he wanted but they hired him anyway. When they stopped watching them, he did as he pleased and essentially took the organization over from inside.
I think that most of America is used to the fraud too. It seems that no one gives a ‘like’ when I post political stuff on facebook. It’s just ho hum, move along, who cares? The apathy makes me so mad!
