ACORN’s New Shell

It is so unfair how “vicious right-wing attacks” have made it hard for them to support child prostitution and fraud. All I can say is thank God (thank Allah?) they have Obama to protect them from the consequences of a few dozen isolated incidents captured on film. Otherwise, we might lose the contribution that these community organizers make to keeping inner city communities the way they are.

I thank God for Glenn Beck. If it hadn’t been for him exposing this travesty in the first place, they’d have gotten away with everything. And I do mean everything. Go, Glenn Beck. We need to pray for his protection!!

the ShellGame that is known as Acorn...

Bunch of scumbag socialists like their leader Barry. They need indictments.

[Dead Corpse]

Tar and feathers. Won’t matter what they call themselves...

[stephenjohnbanker]

Darrell Issa will have all of their new business names, and the names of the new administrators before the ink is dry.

Now, I guess if the acorn types shake down a bank, the bank will have to report it, like they should have done in the last episode.

[Dead Corpse]

I still think T&F and riding them out of the country on a rail would work better.

[PGalt]

The Democrats’ money-and-muscle operation is rebranding, not disbanding ACORN is not dissolving. But some of its local affiliates, in an effort to suggest they’re cutting ties with the organization, are giving themselves new names.

Kind of like the Democrat/Progressive/Socialist/Collectivist/etc. Crime Syndicate.

HOORAY Glenn Beck, Andrew Breitbart, James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles!

[WellyP]

The new 2010 Congress will rip them apart! The new President in 2012 will tell the DOJ to go after “ACORN” and SEIU under RICO!

[stephenjohnbanker]

I’m all for it. I’ll supply the tar.

[Dead Corpse]

I have a couple of old feather pillows that we’ve been letting the dog sleep on...

[stephenjohnbanker]

At least your dog will know they went to a worthy cause ;-)

ACORN isn’t the first gang of riff-raff to discover that there’s lots of money to be made at the intersection of politics and poverty — that was part of the original mafia’s business model, too — but you really have to dig into the organization’s workings, its hundreds of bank accounts, its shell organizations and affiliates, its millions of dollars in cash and real estate, its bank stock, and its consulting company, to appreciate exactly how central money-making is to ACORN. And these folks are good at making money.

There was an excellent panel discussion at CPAC last week - "Saving Freedom from Vote Fraud" - which included Congressman Darrell Issa, John Fund of the Wall Street Journal (and author of numerous books about voter fraud) and the very brave Anita MonCrief, former ACORN employee.

Like a multi-headed Hydra, look for the name "ACORN" to quickly disappear and for the organization and its morally bankrupt employees to resurface under various "new" community groups across the country.

[nutmeg]

I didn't see your "Hydra" post in #4 before I posted in #17... honest! ;-)

It didn't show up on my computer 'til just now for some reason...

[nutmeg]

And I should have mentioned in my post #17... former ACORN employee Anita MonCrief said that George Soros IS the funder-in-chief of ACORN. We all know ‘ol George is at the top of ACORN, but it’s nice to have it confirmed.

Change the name.....re-apply for funding.
