ACORN got cracked.

My head isn't in the sand. Did you read the link he posted? The only "allegation" that the article is making is that they are guilty of bad record keeping. Fair enough, you keep up the "Chicken Little" part and I'll sit back and watch and laugh.

This time. Where is the other video about ACORN trying to help some pimp/madam avoid taxes on sex slaves? Yeah, this organization, that gets billions of tax dollars, is totally on the up and up. If it were some organization that was sucking McCain's Johnson you would be the one screaming the sky is falling, and you know it.

Yes, I know this will be written off as the scorned writings of a fired employee, but since ACORN itself won't reveal their insider information how else are we supposed to get it? I fully admit that she is bitter, and has an agenda, but then again doesn't everyone in politics these days. Some entertaining reading none the less.

Funny, it was not all over the news.

Acorn has been disbanded for months now. The reason why no one cares.

Thats like the former CEO of Enron is trying to get a new trial for the last time.

And.....?

This isnt 2001.

Oh, you mean the videos that were heavily edited? The ones where ACORN was cleared of any wrongdoing because of that editing? The tapes that brought about exactly zero criminal charges? Those tapes?

That's the problem here. People pick up on heavily edited and made up accusations against ACORN, and then ignorantly believe whatever they read without researching it to discover the truth because the whole lie fits their agenda better. ACORN was not some evil, neferious organization like the far-right nuts want people to believe. They were a legit organization that looked to help predominately poor minorities. And that's where the problems come in. Since minorities are heavily Democratic, getting them registered to vote poses a threat to Republicans and the right, so they went all-out to try and destroy ACORN, which they did. Sure, there may have been some impropriety going on, but in what large group isn't there any? I mean, the GAO even said they had not misused ANY of the government money they received, so they were definitely legit.

Just like Fov said, this is some debunked heavily edited bullshit. If it was legit then where are the charges? As far as if it was some organization "sucking McCain's dick",..... If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. Get some charges or some facts to back up your scurrilous accusations, then come talk to me. BTW, using those bullshit videos (even if they were true) as evidence that all of ACORN is corrupt, is like saying that Safeway foods is a corrupt drug dealing organization, because I used to buy ******** from one of the cashiers at the local Dominic's.

First of all, HUD didn't say that ACORN wasn't "legit". They just said that their accounting wasn't in order., many banks law firms, investment agencies, Mom and Pop grocery stores, etc occasionally have their books not in order, does that also make them corrupt or not "legit"?... HUD isn't claiming, as you are, that they are corrupt. Unless I missed that somewhere, care to point it out for me that HUD says that ACORN was illegit and corrupt?
