ACORN is the largest radical leftist group in America today. This radical group worked closely with the Obama camp during the election. But, the community organizing group was not open about this. The photo below was scrubbed from the ACORN website before the election:
One of Barack Obama’s first big “community organizer” jobs involved ACORN in 1992. He has been working along side ACORN since before he became an elected official. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN in 2008 for voter registration efforts. And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama last year.
Earlier this year Obama promoted a top ACORN operative, Patrick Gaspard, who’s oranization was fined $775,000 for election violations, to a top post in the White House. Gespard is helping shape domestic policy.
Obama’s ACORN group was banned from receiving federal funds in September after the group was busted on tape promoting the child sex slave trade.
But, today it was announced that ACORN will be paid with taxpayer funds after all. The New York Times reported:
The Justice Department has concluded that the Obama administration can lawfully pay the community group Acorn for services provided under contracts signed before Congress banned the government from providing funds to the group.
The department’s conclusion, laid out in a recently disclosed five-page memorandum from David Barron, the acting assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel, adds a new wrinkle to a sharp political debate over the antipoverty group’s activities and recent efforts to distance the government from it.
Since 1994, Acorn, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, has received about $53 million in federal aid, much of it grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for providing various services related to affordable housing.
But the group has become a prime target for conservative critics, and on Oct. 1, President Obama signed into law a spending bill that included a provision that said no taxpayer funds — including funds authorized by previous legislation — could be “provided to” the group or its affiliates.
Obviously, considering Obama’s history with ACORN, this latest news surprises no one.
Where the hell is out voice?
I’m sensing rebellion, just say’in
Justice Department said it was OK to pay ACORN. GEEEEZZZZZ!
I note Holder’s name was not anywhere in the article.

Obamao is ACORN, and his criminal organization doesn’t work against itself.

You’re right.
It’s went full steam: Celebrating a Muslim Holiday in the Whitehouse, dumping on our troops, continuing to fund Acorn, pushing for Climate-Communism.
Here comes the Obama we all feared.
There have been gunshots: at Fort Hood and at the wrong people. And you’re most likely right, that 2010 will be too late.
Where? Who? Yes I’m seeing motivation, I’m seeing people finally getting off their rear ends and becoming politically acive.
Where is rebellion? Where are the people who are willing to move past Tea Parties and rallies to stop the Marxist takeover of the us?
Sorry..I thought about it after I re-read it..too late :-) I meant that islam is settling in our country just using PC. It’s in the WH and on the land. Ft Hood was terrorism of course. But I don’t even know why they still need to do these awful acts. They are winning so obvioously with the muslim in the WH that they don’t need to do that anymore. They are winning using our laws. And we are mute about it.
He just doesn’t care what the American people think. 0ba-Mao is a communist through and through.
