Rats deserting a sinking ACORN
New York Post ^ | 9/26/09 | Opinion

Posted on 09/26/2009 4:03:02 AM PDT by jersey117

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.

Please let someone have a lot of footage showing the affection ACORN has for some of Congress and vice versa. And let it be played again and again during this and future campaign cycles.

"The ship will be renamed and have another crew."

Either that, or they will just infest another luxury liner.

"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."

I agree. It's just like a borg collective ship. It takes a hit, but keeps on going while it rebuilds the damaged area. Drones are expendable and easily replaced.

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

Why not?

They've already scored their 53 billion. (I'm guessing)

It is the tip of the iceberg. Difference now and a few years ago is that the Republicans on the internet are much more active with blogs and helping uncover a lot of the corruption.

Going to be very tough to ever get an organization like ACORN up and running again in today’s environment.

I agre with you — they set up another ACORN and it will get its head chopped as well. It is a new day with the investigation on the side of conservatives.

Probably one of a hundred other ships docked at the same harbor, if you get my drift.

Sen. Charles Grassley on Thursday released documents showing that ACORN shifted millions in charitable and government funds meant for the poor to its political and for-profit arms.

Apparently not all documents made it to the shredder.

It has already happened. ACORN has changed its name to COI - Community Organizers International.

Hope that the GOP-RINOS will not lend a hand to the poor sinking rats

You know they will...

Wow. Surprised to see this in breaking. It was the title which initially caught my attention.
