Like rats deserting a sinking ship, ACORN's many enablers over the years are racing for the exits as the scope of the organization's shenanigans come to light.
Even leftist fellow-traveler -- and, until now, stalwart ACORN defender -- Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is squirming.
What took them so long? We've been warning about the group for ages.

The rats may be deserting this ship, but they are going someplace.

Grassley uncovered some big info about them shifting funds from charitable to political organizations. Could be just the tip of the iceberg.

Take names and follow them. Any organization that gives one of these folks a place to hide also needs to be exposed. Follow them like the vermin they are and pound them with fury wherever they try to hide. That is how you put an end to corruption that tries to pretend it is like smoke and just "rematerialze" under a new name with the same folks elsewhere. Follow them like bloodhounds and root them out of every hole they try to hide in.

Even leftist fellow-traveler -- and, until now, stalwart ACORN defender -- Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is squirming. Wasn't the 'hotdog' more than just a defender? Wasn't it at his knees ACORN got fertilized, I mean our tax dollars. He ought to be at the front of the line when anything ACORN is dug up and out from the roots. OF course Barnie the hotdog has lots of company right in the bowels of elected officials.

He also claims he hadn't closely read a letter with his signature on it thatThe Democrat Official Stock Answer.
Van Jones didn't read the 911 Truther petition that he signed, either.

They create a new organization which assimilates the aspects and assets of the former.
Problem solved — for the foreseeable.

That’s their tactic. Plead ignorance when caught. Hey, it worked for pelosi and her CIA lie. A white, male Republican speaker would have been asked to resign over that.

I am surprised they are deserting. I would have expected them to circle the wagons.

Grassley’s on the Finance Committee. He’d be the guy who knows if anyone does.

Rumors of ACORN's death are greatly exaggerated. Someone on another thread referred to ACORN as a hydra with many heads. They're just switching heads.
New title, same game. Voter fraud. Illegal immigration. Underage prostitution. Money laundering. Same ol' same ol'.

What Acorn really is/was will re-form and be re-funded by this government. They rolled over way to easily. The noise and protesting from the left is all for show. It's business as usual come Monday.
Bet on it

Rangel didnt read his 1040 form closely either......

Liberals knew ACORN was a criminal organization. They didn’t care as long as the “marks” - AKA citizens didn’t know...

The ship will be renamed and have another crew. Conservatives are starting to fight back - they put up a new ACORN and a new O'Keefe will step up to the plate.

“The rats may be deserting this ship, but they are going someplace.”
Absolutely! The hands that feed the rats will still do so, and only the feeders will know where to find them in the dark.
IMHO
