Yes, of course he's a Democrat, although there's no mention of it here. The comments are not what you'd expect in a New York paper.

LOL! Love the title! Maybe the commies would support us... Oh wait, that ideology wen bankrupt in the 1960s and again in the 80s. I guess ACORN will just have to make sure no one takes them down.

How about you don’t have 8 kids you can’t afford. Then you’re helping yourself.

"If ACORN disappeared, who would aid the poorest of us?"

Logical fallacy of the false choice. Presumes ACORN helps anyone except themselves...

Churches? Relatives? Salvation Army? St. Vincent de Paul? Red Cross?

Is it really so surprising that lawbreakers wouldn’t bat an eye when other lawbreakers come in to ask for help breaking the law?

Well there you have it: poor people (especially minorities) are too stupid to take care of themselves.

That’s why they need liberal Democrats and corrupt organizations that aid liberal Democrats.

Crazy, no? Or maybe that's what ACORN does.

Oh my. Just because they are poor, it makes it all ok.

Who? Not Acorn, they lost their right to help when they showed they believed that stealing from the public was an OK practice. When instead of getting these pimp/prostitutes the real help they needed to go straight, they felt the best thing to do was to support pedophilia, child abuse, tax evasion, and immigration offenses.

As an organization, Acorn has neither moral nor legal nor ethical conscience. That means they can cannot be trusted with our money or to even truly help anyone other than themselves and their crooked cronies. That this clown is even thinking about arguing in their favor shows a severe lack of judgment on his part.

The churches and local government should handle who takes care of the people in their locality. The federal govt’s support of a nationwide community organization should end.

Now that the light is being shown on the cockeroaches of ACORN, Americans are only just realizing the hornets nest of extremism that is festering in many urban areas. Hearing the rants of Rev. Wright, the marxist tripe of Anita Dunn, and the communist insanity of dozens of wackjob appointees have wakened Americans from their stupor.

ACORN’s not watching out for them now so what difference would it make.

Outfits like ACORN keep the “poorest of us” in the poor house.

If nobody did everything for them and paid their way they would get up off their dead asses and make something of themselves.

The poor are only used as mascots for these control freaks’ self aggrandizement - modern day secular pharisees the lot of ‘em.

How about the churches and the private homeless charities you see on every corner in every downtown in America? Or... how about they help themselves by getting up off their fat Twinkie butts, turn off the TV and get a job.
