ACORN Pros ution Investigation

I see,




Am I missing something?

You just don't get it. Use your brain muscles.

In helping Mr. O'Keefe set up his supposed brothel, ACORN employees also invited him to attend an August conference the group was holding for prospective home-buyers. But it linked attendance to Mr. O'Keefe joining ACORN and paying $120 in annual dues: "We ask that you join ACORN." The problem is that such a request is illegal, since the ACORN housing conferences are underwritten by federal government grants. ACORN has a political arm, so insisting that attendees at its housing conferences join the group and pay dues is a no-no.

It was precisely that kind of activity that got ACORN in trouble during the Clinton administration. The Inspector General of AmeriCorps, the government's volunteer agency, accused the group of "using government resources to promote legislation." ACORN was stripped of its federal grant as a result.

Think of all the health care we can buy once we elimate this fraud or is it we have to buy more health care to eliminate fraud?

[Crookshanks]

Hmmm - I wonder what it would take to get a RICO indictment against ACORN? If they were pulling this crap during the Clinton Administration, then it's been going on for at least 10 years. Man, I'd love to see ACORN brought up on RICO charges. Just another black eye for Obama.

That is what Obama says will pay for Obamacare. He will track down all the frauds and save money from bull lawsuits.

The two girls will be blamed and ACORN will live on cheating the system.

Do you know what RICO charges are?

I'm still waiting for eveidence of voter fraud.. I figure since the dead enders want the organization prosecuted I would assume they would provide evidence that ACOPRN as a whole is violating some laws.

[PakiDan]

It's amazing what this says about our big media when you don't see a story THIS BIG and that says so much about our broken system ANYWHERE on their sites. HORRIBLE!

do you have any evidence of voter fraud?

[Crookshanks]

Do you know what RICO charges are?

Legislation that provides support for legal actions against individuals or organizations involved in systematic illegal activities.

Sounds like that could apply to ACORN.

[DarrinS]

By the way, do pimps really still walk around in rediculous firs and hats? I thought those were just Halloween costume pimps.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

And it's a doozy of an update. Things come out, but not much goes in. The head, that is……

[Shastafarian]

At dodging the actual article. The charges are on voter registration fraud. I guess I done used my brainded muscles.

[boutons_deux]

ACORN, a never-die Repug RED-HERRING.

dubya's US Attorneys tried for years to "get" ACORN and anybody else on registration/voter fraud, and they came up empty handed.

[doobs]

Isolated incident, eh?

Guilt by association for the win.

Let's throw in ACORN, Illegal immigration, Crime, Jews, etc. everything but health care arguments themselves.

Check out American Pimp. it's an interesting do entary on pimps. I take it that the ACORN workers in the video watched it and sympathize with the plight of the modern pimp. I tell ya, pimpin' ain't easy.

What are you talking about?

We're only talking about ACORN in this thread. Why are you obsessing over other things?

Acorn is Repug/Fox/xenophobe/white-man's RED HERRING

Karl Rove/Gonzo's US Attorney's didn't, couldn't, prosecute them, so STFU.
