BALTIMORE -- A former leader of Maryland's ACORN chapter said the group shaken by a national video scandal will no longer operate in the state.

The videos showed ACORN workers, including workers in Baltimore, giving tax tips to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute.

Former Maryland chapter co-chairwoman Sonja Merchant-Jones said the group was torn apart by infighting after the September incident.

Maybe it took a crook like Obama for people to finally realized what the left is doing in this country.

Still, one cannot trust this criminal organization to merely leave. They just do not give up like this. They must be prosecuted and made to pay.

Anybody really believe this snake is truly dead, or will just sprout a few more heads and come back bigger than ever?

Bull. They will have reformed under a new name and with a more virulent temper. Kicking a pit bull may make him move but he will return and remember the experience.

A snake is a snake is a snake...

I have seen exactly what she describes among lefty organizations. A crisis happens, money dries up, infighting ensues, and the whole thing blows up or becomes a shell of its former self. So it is possible, maybe even probable in this case.

I just would not bet money on it.

Well, at least that's one small piece of good news. Thanks for posting it up! Hopefully tragedies such as the ACORN-provided kiddie prostitution rings will be a thing of the past sooner rather than later.

no .... ACORN it is not gone. This organization is insidious!

The last I heard - there were close to 300 offshoots or organizations connected to or with this crime filled money laundering fraud.

If this ‘chapter’ closes doors - ten new will open up!

You can change the name but slime is still slime.

They’ll regroup under cover of darkness and under a different name.

Funny.. first Ohio, then MD.. It seems a bit too organized to be a sudden surrender. They (ACORN/SEIU) is up to something they aren’t telling us. A new name? Official Federal ownership? What?
