Holy Cow—just watched the Wallace interview. That woman had a script and she wasn’t about to deviate!
Even if we take her at her word—a difficult exercise to be sure, but let’s try—ACORN has by her own admission spent the past 39 years breaking laws six ways from Sunday using tax dollars. I frankly don’t give a rat’s behind what “reforms” she’s implementing. Any organization with 39 years of lawbreaking must be obliterated and the criminals charged, tried and imprisoned.
The rote “I-serve-the-poor” nonsense is nothing more than a pitifully thin excuse for allowing continued criminal activity.
Oh, and when presented with her own words she flatly denied having spoken it.
I couldn’t put up that kind of deceitful performance.
Is it online?
I remain astonished by the way this canard goes unchallenged. By their own admission (from Alinsky to ACORN) community organizers aren't there to help the poor better their lives.
Their admitted goal is to organize and exploit the poor to gain political power. In fact, the methods they use are more likely to perpetuate poverty, and thus their power base, than to help individuals and families climb out of poverty, whereupon the "community organizers" would no longer be needed.
