"I think what is important is that every day we are saving people from foreclosure,” said David Lagstein with California ACORN prior to San Diego video's release. “Fighting for access to health care. We're helping families to become new citizens that are eligible for that."

He left out "We're helping to smuggle child sex slaves into the country."

WHOA!! "ACORN itself might be at the epicenter of the economic and political crises facing this country."

I know this is a quote in the article from the secretary of the San Diego Republican party, but that it would even appear in this article is AMAZING!

If the collapse of the housing industry and the economic downturn that resulted from it can be tied to ACORN and the "politics of corruption" that Democrats nodded and winked at (Chris Dodd and Barney Frank come instantly to mind), there is going to be hell to pay at the polls come next Novemeber, and most of the "casualties" are going to be incumbent Dims!

They are trafficking in illegals so they can make them new citizens so that they can apply for OUR housing (tax-payer money) and health care. What is wrong with this picture. We tell our elderly folks that nope, no pay raise for social security - but we have to help the illegal people to get your benefits.

Earlier in the day, local ACORN officials, at an office in National City, said they were upset over the fallout and admitted that the undercover filmmakers paid a visit to them. They say no "paperwork" wound up being filed

Does that mean they're as inefficient as they are corrupt?

San Diego news has now called them journalists — about time some news organization admitted what they are doing is investigative journalism which is in short supply today.

Meantime, we got this reaction to the ACORN scandal from Michael Rosen, secretary of the San Diego County Republican Party: "What's coming into focus now is that ACORN itself may be at the epicenter of the economic and political crises facing this country," said Rosen

Rosen is correct. ACORN lobbyed the government heavily for sub-prime mortgages and they had a big role in the mortgage melt-down.

"I think none of our offices are 100 percent perfect. Our office here in San Diego is no different. I think what is important is that every day we are saving people from foreclosure,” said David Lagstein with California ACORN prior to San Diego video's release. “Fighting for access to health care. We're helping families to become new citizens that are eligible for that."

Maybe, but can you do that without committing felonies?

Are the undercover video journalists (James and Hanna) FREEPERS? Does anyone know?

I do have an idea. Of course, hundreds of people have ideas for them these days, but THIS one is REALLY good, guaranteed. I would like to Freepmail them with it if I could.

Hi, we’re from the media! Are you guys doing anything illegal? No?

That’s good enough for us.

The key is, and always will be, tying ACORN to Obama. Tying Van Jones to Obama. This ACORN story is important, but don’t forget that while this story dominates the national news (even without the Lunatic Fringe media), Obama’s czars are still slaving away to make this a socialist nation.

It is all about tying the corruption and radical communism to Obama to hamstring his agenda until we can toss him in 2012. 2010 is VITAL.

"I think none of our offices are 100 percent perfect.

That is an understatement! I wonder why they refuse to open their books if they are doing nothing wrong. /s

BINGO. It's not just about the sex.
