In the parallel universe occupied by many left-of-center Americans, the increasingly controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is a high-minded poor people’s group similar to crusading civil rights groups of the 1960s.
They believe ACORN is a public-spirited organization that registers the poor to vote and encourages citizen involvement in morally uplifting projects and community development. They believe it spurs production of affordable housing, protects tenants’ rights, keeps unjustly exploited borrowers in their homes and rages against predatory lenders. They believe it fights for the rights of workers, immigrants and utility ratepayers.
But it does so much more.
When the extortion and vote-fraud conglomerate ACORN isn’t busing schoolchildren to the nation’s capital to protest proposed tax cuts, it’s busy campaigning to expand the size and scope of government, raising the dead from cemeteries and leading them to the voting booth, and promoting the so-called Fairness Doctrine in order to bludgeon conservative-dominated talk radio.
Although congressional Democrats refuse to investigate ACORN, so far this year alone voter registration fraud charges have been laid against former ACORN employees in Nevada and Pennsylvania. Nevada charges were laid against two former senior ACORN executives and against the nonprofit entity itself.
ACORN is also under investigation in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, after a man who was registered to vote multiple times by ACORN was indicted in June by a grand jury for fraudulent voting. This is significant because ACORN has long claimed that the illegal casting of ballots is a myth. The Ohio prosecutor continues to probe ACORN.(continued)

As long as the criminals go to jail, it's all good.
They threw a few of their own to shut up the dogs, that’s all. Ain’t gonna work.
The history of the Sturmabteilung (SA), often referred to as the "brown shirts"...The SA was formally formed... when a large number of opponents attempted to disrupt it but was beaten and thrown out ...Röhm wanted to train the SA as a an army but Hitler wanted to use it solely for propaganda and intimidating opponents.
ACORN really means Association of COMMUNIST Organizations for Reform Now.
Very sickening all of it.

ACORN is a criminal organization funded with our tax dollars.
Do you think this could be the story that Beck and Breitbart are hyping?
how do we take their fed funding?
Well, we found out that having a Republican president and republican majorities in both houses won't get it done.
When republicans were in power they actually increased ACORN's subsidies.
yes its very depressing...i am no longer a Republican
Listening now to ACORN-enabling-hookers story. On Fox, need I add.
On Fox News they have undercover video of ACORN giving advice to someone pretending to be a prostitute - how to buy a house to use for her business and how to avoid paying taxes.
Glenn Beck is discussing this right now on his radio show!

What a pathetic girl.
Just now listening to the part on ‘returns’.
Beck: Our sponsor is Legal Zoom dot com
LOL
Oh, now I remember why. Eric Holder, the same guy who excused the Black Panther thugs who intimidated voters at polling places in Pennsylvania last year, is U.S. Attorney General.

Glenn Beck says he has big news to announce tonight. I think it will be about ACORN and possibly SEIU lawbreaking caught on camera.
On tax returns, when the “pro” coaching the girl who has lived a life of prostitution says she has to be careful about her tax returns, the girls says,
“you mean I have to return taxes?”
No, no, honey, the pro says, but you can always not file them.
