As the remnants of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now regroup in order to bring chaos to the 2012 election cycle, ACORN’s renamed New York chapter is teeming with activity.

The successor organization, called New York Communities for Change (NYCC), operates out of the same office on Nevins Street in Brooklyn that is home to ACORN and its partisan arm, the socialist Working Families Party of New York.

Longtime ACORN leader Jon Kest is executive director of NYCC. Kest is the brother of Steve Kest, former executive director of ACORN, who has joined fellow radical community organizer Van Jones as a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank that functions as a public relations firm for the Obama administration.

These people are incapable of holding real jobs

Where’s the funding for this coming from?

No doubt, ACORN will be receiving unspent stimulus funds. Never....ever...underestimate the tenacity of the Chi-town thugs.

Is Soros feeding them?

A longtime ACORN operative is about to take over the reins of the Democratic National Committee as its executive director – just in time to begin initial preparations for President Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.

The activist in question is Patrick Gaspard. He currently holds the title of White House political affairs director, the same title Karl Rove held in President Bush’s administration.

Gaspard comes from the same world of radical left-wing community organizing that shaped Barack Obama. Gaspard is well schooled in the brutal, street-smart organizing tactics taught by the late Saul Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals. He’s the hatchet man Obama sent to New York over a year ago to strong-arm then-Gov. David Paterson into dropping his reelection campaign.

As executive director running the DNC’s day-to-day operations Gaspard will oversee Organizing for America, a project of the DNC supposedly modeled on Alinskyite organizing principles. (Former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine will remain as general chairman of the DNC.)--SNIP--long read

ACORN recieved a lot of public funding for various activities they recieved grants for. They even co-opted cities into letting them manage public housing complexes, in which they strongarmed residents into joining ACORN.

Federally funded. In other words, your and my taxes.

A good Acorn is a squashed one...

“Community Organizer” is the new “Fellow Traveler”

These are the words socialists/communists use to recognize each other without the rest of the public realizing. It is a CODE WORD.

It means "I am a fellow communist- and I am saying whatever it takes to get in power, but you and I know I don't mean it"

Call it ACORN, call it NYCC or whatever. There will be a series of organizations funded by the DNC, DNCC, Soros and others that will feed money into plenty of illegal activities all to support the re-election of 0bama in 2012. They need to be watched, shut down and fought with the same vigor in which they will gladly break the law. Don’t forget that a lot of the porkulus money went to ACORN and similar groups. Millions of taxpayer dollars have been used to fund the war chests that will lie, cheat, intimidate voters, produce ads that will support the regime’s efforts. Tea Party folks need to be prepared for a war of words and lots and lots of nastiness.

Claire McCackle is the senior senator from Missouri because ACORN put her there.

They're baaaaaaaaaack!

I think they’ve relocated a bunch of operatives to my voting district in Newton, MA. The mayor Setti Warren is an 0bot running for Scott Brown’s Senate seat. I think these ACORN low renters will be voting for Setti against Brown, then moving back to Harlem afterwards.

Well, according to local talk show hosts, Obama is sending his team in here to recall our Republican Senators to overturn Novemeber’s elections which the Republicans won. Of course we have recalls going against 14 Dem Senators who have fled the state rather than do their duty and come to work.
