The relentless attacks on ACORN’s members, its staff and the policies and positions we promote are unprecedented. An international entertainment conglomerate, disguising itself as a “news” agency (Fox), has expended millions, if not tens of millions of dollars, in their attempt to destroy the largest community organization of Black, Latino, poor and working class people in the country. It is not coincidence that the most recent attacks have been launched just when health care reform is gaining traction. It is clear they’ve had these tapes for months.
We are their Willy Horton for 2009. We are the boogeyman for the right-wing and its echo chambers. If ACORN did not exist, the right-wing would have needed to create us in order to achieve their agenda, their missions, their ideal, retrograde America. This recent scam, which was attempted in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia to name a few places, had failed for months before the results we’ve all recently seen. I am appalled and angry; I cannot and I will not defend the actions of the workers depicted in the video, who have since been terminated.

The Census Bureau pulled them from Census Status. ACORN will NOT be taking part in collecting Census in 2010. BTW............
Why is it everyone named Bertha is FAT?
Thank you for posting such a nice story.
However, I wouldn’t call 70 “older than dirt” :-)
Bertha Lewis is clearly a ‘Performance artist’ herself!
Retarded no. Susceptible to urban legends, resentful, and tribal, yes.
A district judge who held another ACORN worker for trial Monday on election law violations urged prosecutors to go after the real culprit, the organization that employed him. "Somebody has to go after ACORN," Senior District Judge Richard H. Zoller said about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. "It's happening all over the country. All you have to do is turn on the television," he said, referring to voter registration fraud charges brought recently against ACORN and its workers in Nevada.
"We will," Allegheny County Detective Robert F. Keenan promised as he wrapped up his testimony.
A spokesman for DA Stephen A. Zappala Jr. said following the hearing that the county's investigation into members of ACORN and their activities during the 2008 campaign "remains open and active." (Excerpt) Read more at pittsburghlive.com ...
Let's encourage them----the discovery process will reveal their inner workings.
There is a certainty of illegal use of govt funds for federal contracts....caught on tape.
They have refused to open their books to public scrutiny.
RICO charges should commence.
Yet they fired four people...
"Thinking" is not something these animals are very good at.
