If the Washington ComPost reports it I’m naturally suspicious. It could be a smokescreen mea culpa to get the light & heat off of them while still raking in money through a number of back doors.

"..The Ford Foundation, which has given nearly $2 million, suspended funding for ACORN .."

Henry Ford must be spinning in his grave.

It demonstrates how slip-shod these big foundations are.

They will probably fund their front groups directly

Another case of an organization that looked great on paper (hey, we help the poor!) but stank in real life.

I wonder how many of the foundations gave grants as a result of extortion, whether overt or covert. Now that ACORN has been exposed for the corrupt entity that it is, the charities have been granted cover should they not wish to continue with their support.

And none of them were good stewards of their Foundation’s money. What was it exactly that blinded them to what was really the agenda behind these groups.

I can tell you firsthand that I have had to review ACORN grants for a religious organization and, never having even heard of ACORN before, upon reading the grant request I understood immediately what the agenda was - it was a front operation for Democrat liberal political organizations under the disguise of seeking to reform societal structures to eliminate poverty. The only poverty they were eliminating that I could see was their own.

Their “community organizing” was campaign Obama and any other left wing democrat politican. We denied their grant request before any of this recent scandal ever hit the airwaves. Thank God for people like Glenn Beck who have alerted us to these frauds operating in the Democrat party.

And to think none of this was important enough to report on just weeks ago.

The Ford Foundation, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation,

Well, I suspect NPR is going to get even MORE foundation money now.

I for one believe you have a very good point. The more EXPOSURE of ACORN’s nefarious practice, the more freedom for their victims, of which effects us all one way or another.
