Thread: ACORN got cracked.

Take your pic......
I didn't make a "blanket statement", I was asked if I thought ACORN was legit by Nuckle, and I said "as a whole? yes. Legit." So take your pic on what is getting ridiculous, your anecdotal evidence that you worked w/ affordable housing and therefore ACORN is corrupt, or your ridiculous stretching from trying to tie the minuscule amount of money from the OP to being on par with Goldman Sachs and bad banking. Next you'll be blaming ACORN for the child sex scandals of the catholic church. I'm sure you'll bust out some other link completely unrelated to the topic........ which is getting ridiculous.

I am not questioning your "familiarity", I am questioning your logic as to how "corrupt" you claim ACORN to be by writ of your "familiarity of a low income housing company", as well as the fact that all you have offered were links that had absolutely nothing to do with ACORN or the OP.

Whats not on topic? I see people discussing low income groups which includes acorn. If he has experience the industry he should be allowed to share those details. I've done plenty of charity and low income jobs in my field and could back deputy up but have been refraining from posting in this thread.

Why? Because they police themselves and all parties involved shiters and shitees would rather see a pile of shit coming down the hill than a SNOWBALL.

If you didn't say they are/were corrupt, then what is your problem with me telling Nuck that I thought, "as a whole, ACORN was legit"? And I don't think anybody is arguing against those receiving govt funds to be monitored closely. You are acting like the old man that is yells at the clouds to stop casting shadows on his lawn......
