FBI report: ACORN 'poverty pimpin'' for Democrats
World Net Daily ^ | June 9, 2010 | Chelsea Schilling

Posted on 06/09/2010 8:31:18 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

FBI investigation notes reveal ACORN was working for the Democratic Party and told employees not to talk to the FBI, to cause confusion on Election Day and to go "poverty pimpin'" for votes.

Judicial Watch, a corruption-fighting legal group, obtained the notes related to the 2007 investigation and arrest of eight St. Louis, Mo., ACORN workers for violating election laws and committing voter fraud.

'Poverty pimpin,' fraud and work for Democratic Party

The FBI investigators interviewed ACORN canvassers working with Project Vote, an ACORN affiliate. Among the documents obtained by Judicial Watch were handwritten notes by FBI officials outlining the group's fraudulent activities. The following are some highlights from the FBI notes:

ACORN "told employees not to talk to the FBI," saying the FBI is "trying to intimidate you." Staff members were restricted on what they were allowed to say to the FBI.

ACORN accepted "fraudulent cards" "to cause confusion on Election Day to keep polls open longer," "to allow people who can't vote to vote" and "to allow voters to vote multiple times."

"Project Vote will pay them whether cards fake or not – whatever they had to do to get the cards was attitude."

* The FBI investigators noted that workers were constantly threatened.

* The FBI noted that ACORN had been "poverty pimpin.'"

* The notes stated that ACORN headquarters was "working for the Democratic Party."

* Project Vote "pays ACORN $6 per card" and said "you treat the cards like (cash)$."

* Some registrant names were collected from the phone book and workers made up the rest.

* Canvassers were often homeless, volatile, drug users, drunks, etc.

* "Anyone who was against PV (Project Vote) or ACORN's goals was 'right wing.'"

Nothing we didn't already suspect. This'll never hit the mainstream press, for obvious reasons.

‘I won’

And if he’s got the FBI using the phrase ‘poverty pimpin’, he’s REALLY won.

Douchebag. I can’t wait until Andrew and James release the rest of their work.

I have been “on to” ACORN, and following it closely from the beginning.... an anti(against)-America group that is funded by the crazies... I don't even want to call them liberals... they are pass that -— they are America-haters, aka anarcists.

Democrats: party of communists, racists and anarchists.
The anarchists who were promised the moon by obama are getting pissed that they haven’t been paid. Poop about to hit the propeller at about 5000 rpm.

Not really surprised by this, but now we know for sure that this is a tactic of the Democrats, not just ACORN. Time to shut down any organization receiving taxpayer dollars that even remotely resembles ACORN.
