'Nonpartisan' B'klyn group caught playing poli-tricks (ACORN violates Non-Profit & Campaign Laws)
NY Post ^ | 9/15/09 | JEREMY OLSHAN

On the same hidden-camera video in which loan counselors at ACORNs Brooklyn office helped a hooker skirt the law, a list of the supposedly nonpartisan groups primary-election endorsements can be seen in the background. As a tax-exempt 501c3 nonprofit, ACORN is not permitted to endorse candidates or host political events. But on a prominently displayed dry-erase board visible in the video, ACORN backs Bill de Blasio for public advocate and Richard Aborn for Manhattan district attorney. These are the same candidates backed by the Working Families Party, which shares office space with ACORN. Under each candidates name is a list of canvassers working in the campaigns. The community organizing group is flagrantly violating tax law, much the same way ACORN's loan counselors advised a prostitute to lie and cheat the system, said Kyle Olson, editor of the blog ACORNcracked.com. "Local authorities should look into whether the local ACORN office -- which, by the way, also houses the national ACORN CEO and chief organizer Bertha Lewis -- is engaging in political activity with tax dollars," said Olson. "The videos released over the last several days appear to display a pattern of extremely questionable activities and dubious advice from morally-depraved ACORN employees in several cities. If this evidence doesn't warrant a closer look from local and federal authorities, what will?" Olson asked. ACORN insists it is not doing anything wrong because the primary endorsements and campaigning are being done by the groups political action committee, spokesman Scott Levenson said. The groups political wing has backed de Blasio, but has made no endorsement in the district attorney race, Levenson said. ACORN has also been under fire for raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in earmarks through a second nonprofit called the New York Agency for Community Affairs.

The tapes from the two super-courageous young invesigative reporters show ACORN blatantly vioating nonprofit and campaign reofrm laws. The democrat paty in NY State and in Washington send vast tax payer money to ACORN, which then goes to support these same democrat politicians for re-election.

By now, they both have a price on their heads. And it will be made to look like an accident.

This just in.

Based on their success in stealing the 2008 election, ACORN has changed its name.
The catchy new acronym is defined below.

Commies
On a
Rampage
Now
Have
Obama
Leaving nearly
Everyone
Really
Screwed

This, as you can see, spells “CORNHOLERS.” The leadership of the group formerly known as ACORN felt this was a more descriptive name given what they did to the rest of us in November of 2008.

They suggest all affected Americans also learn another acronym familiar to most veterans: BOHICA.

Bend
Over
Here
It
Comes
Again.

Don’t get too excited. If ACORN is truly valuable to the left nothing effective will happen to them.

The cat may be out of the bag, but you are completely dismissing the important reasons, revenge and deterrence. Primarily the former, but the latter is a byproduct. ACORN is a thug organization.

The dimocrats are afraid of Obama being directly connected with the same shenanigans in Chicago so don’t look for any help from any dimocrat. The evidence is in the senate vote to cut off funds for Acorn. Durbin and his buddy senator from Illinois (both Dimocrats)were in the 7 who voted against cutting off funds while 83 senators voted for cutting off the funding of this crooked outfit.

Stop being pessimistic. I don’t give a sh*t how effective and valuable they are for the left. They are going down.
