Gregory Hall, a former employee of scandal-plagued ACORN, labeled the organization “the most corrupt group in the country” on Wednesday’s Fox and Friends on FNC. Hall placed the blame squarely on the national leaders of the left-wing group: “They’re the ones that are constantly giving the orders that say- make the money, no matter what- lie, steal, cheat- and I’ve got the witnesses to prove it” [audio clips from the segement are available here].
Anchor Steve Doocy first asked the ACORN critic if he was surprised by the recently released undercover videos showing employees of the organization trying to abet underage prostitution, tax evasion, and other crimes. Hall answered, “No, I’m not surprised,” and explained that “there is not much good in ACORN anymore, as far as its mission, and definitely not through its executive board.”

I thought I heard last night that there was nothing wrong with ACORN, it was all some smear tactic by FoxNews and right wingers trying to make them look bad. Who do you believe?

What exactly did the Obama campaign get in return for it's 800k donation to ACORN prior to the election?
I live in alaska and am still waiting for the anchorage daily news to mention this HUGE scandal. I think I’ll call them and ask!
Cool! I live there too. Maybe we need to start a call-in campaign...
Come on folks, ACORN more corrupt than Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Give me a break. ACORN is corrupt, but nobody will investigate Fannie and Freddie, because the blood trails lead to big game. ACORN is easy, the big boys got what they want (votes and rent a mobs) and can now dump them while they set up the next urban rip off. ACORN at its worst can’t compare with the damage that Fannie and Freddie did. BTW, all three organizations are nothing more than Dem plantations.
Bambi got a promise to ram through healthcare where in CA and much of the east coast, 90% of the $$$ will got to United Healthcare union members, who now represented by SEIU.
Obviously, this person never heard of Congress.
pound for pound, I would say it’s the Chicago City Council and/or the Cook (AKA Crook) County Board.
I wonder if they’ll try to get a gag order against him as they did against another former employee.
Don't hear much about the stimulus money any more. Wonder how much of it will end up in various politician's bank accounts?
How much of that money loaned to banks and other corporations have been paid back and what did the government do with it. I have heard it said on the news that if it is paid back it will not go towards paying the tax payers back but will go into a slush fund. In other words Obama never planned on paying the money back to the tax payers.

SEIU folks sweep the damn floors of hospitals......
Is that who this country wants running the show?????
We are living in interesting times...........
The way they were set up and operated. They had absolutely no incentive to be legitimate. It was all about the money, stolen from the taxpayers. You and me.
All three were up to their elbows in the Sub Prime madness in an orchestrated plan to make lots of money for themselves while at the same time sabotaging the economy.
The Sub Prime default was the most massive (to date) success of the Colward-Piven Strategy and ACORN was instrumental in its creation.
No, it’s not just the matter of ACORN’s “national leaders.” It’s leaders PLUS millions and millions of federal tax dollars.
Turn on the dollar spicket and the slugs will assemble.
ACORN, Planned Parenthood, NEA, ACLU ...
i actually emailed ADN today about their lack of coverage. they responded by sayng that it was on page A7 in today’s paper version only - because they had single-use rights and couldn’t put it in the online version (where i searched). i wrote back and said how impressed i was that the BIGGEST corruption/scandal going on right now is on PAGE A7!!! and since it is such a huge thing, why couldn’t they do their own story so they weren’t bound by “single-use” rights.
