signature worthy!
This is ing ridiculous. The world over is full of low life corrupt unethical people. Didn't seem to matter when they were handing out bailouts.
What a ing joke. This country is run like by for .
signature worthy!
Congress is protecting it's ass like always, CYA
Meanwhile I would not be surprised to seethis blowovet and funding
restored when any investigation concludes that the only laws
broken were those by FAUX News and the vanilla pimp for defamation
and illegal eavesdropping - bookit.
It's a bit shady no matter who does it. It's inherently deceptive. If it wasn't, why hide the cameras?
That said, to go into offices and, apropos of nothing, propose setting up child brothels to people who probably never had it in their minds before you pitched it -- and to secretly tape them while you make the indecent pitch -- is a bit shady too. Anyone stupid enough to go along with it probably isn't smart enough to come up with it on their own.
You can not equate FAUX with legitimate news sources, besides no one does
investigative reporting anymore.
another faux spauting
did you see those people from acorn echo those same sentiments when they were on glenn beck? oh knows...mad glenn beck. he had them on a few months ago. the initial intent was good but acorn has gone farrrrrrr from it.
My problem with acorn is that they are blatantly political. You can't be a non-profit taking federal funds and back one party and one agenda. They want to do their community outreach bull with private funds and stay the out of politics I have no beef with them.
Plus one. dude you call them out and the Obama dems go ape (hysterical) protecting them. Good news. ACORN IS DONE. Remember you can put lip stick on a pig.
Yeah it's mindboggeling that the apoligists for Obama can just sort of phase that out of their minds or else they don't really have much of a problem with slavery as long as the slaves are brown and young,and female .Much like how Obama cried crocidlle tears in Ghana about a slave trade that ended nearly two centuries ago and yet studiously ignores a vibrant trade in black slaves that is going on in Africa today with the complicity of Ghana by the way. I find it amazing, but predictable that the National Council for La Raza has not said a peep about this.
Aploigists are feigning a little too casually this episode. They believe by a studious indiffrence to this disgusting crime they can manufacture a consent that it is something we should forge. I think they are whisteling past the graveyard, parents all over America aren't going to sweep this under the rug. I really wish someone in Congress or maybe we the people should have these Acorn workers prosecuted with criminal charges and demand a justice department investigation.
Ah, there's the micca meltdown.
Were there real sex slaves in this case you might have seen a little more indignation.
How many people in here were supporting ACORN? Ashbeigh, GG's Afro I think, and maybe Boutons.Plus one. dude you call them out and the Obama dems go ape (hysterical) protecting them. Good news. ACORN IS DONE. Remember you can put lip stick on a pig.
That's not quite all the Obama supporters in here.
You can't expect people to accomadate your short attention span ....live with it, learn with it ,grow with it.
Your kidding right?
I don't support ACORN, but a few canvassers getting busted trying to rip off Acorn (dun!) and this clown getting low-level employees to say dumb-ass on a hidden camera is hardly evidence of a corrupt organization....more like, the right fears it because it is a minority organization - and therefore, the enemy.....
I expected real sex slaves for this kind of pants- ting by you folk, that's all.
You can't even spell a three word post correctly? Honestly, you're doing this just to aggravate me, right?
Yes we have an administration whose only "shovel ready" work program being offered to the American worker is pimping underage illegals,and the only outrage you can find is for poor spelling.
I'm intelligent enough to be able to maintain more than one outrage at a time, actually. I'm more than capable of being annoyed with your spelling AND at bank bailouts at the same time.
Yeaaaaah I'm not seeing it.
That's because you are unable to see anything that isn't directly in front of you Micca. Your vision is extremely limited.
Which underage illegals are being pimped? The ones that don't really exist?
Are you guys still having problems figuring that out?
It's a fantasy. Wish fulfillment, probably.
Why would Acorn fire anyone? If the work they do is appreciated and needed, there are certainly many people, including some posters here, willing to replaced the government funding with their own money. If ACORN can't get people to voluntarily fund their activities, then their activities aren't really seen as essential by the community and to cut all funding was the right decision (in that case, the only reason for the funding was that a few politicians thought that ACORN's work was meritorious and decided to use other's people money to subsidize it - heck, you can get the guys who voted against the decision to cut the funds to replace the amount with their own money, unless they're shameless hypocrites).
No matter how you slice it, the stoppage of the HUD grants will affect ACORN. They do pay some paychecks, and some bills (phone bills, internet bills, copier bills, etc) They also allow ACORN to add people to their staff to do the outreach and to get the help. Without the grant there would be less money.
Those CDBG's and other grants that were stopped are for specific jobs
Organizers that are on the frontlines are probably safe from the funding cuts because their paychecks come from membership dues and fundraising, etc.
But, the people they add for specific projects, tax season, education outreach (where you help people find ways to get GEDs, vocational training, etc), could be in trouble. Last year, I didn't mention it because of the flack I got from the last job trouble I had, but I went from full time to part time during the massive voter registration fraud scandal because one of the big funders cut their ties with ACORN. It sucked the big one. That's why I worry. It will hurt some, but ACORN will still be around, maybe just not as big and as nasty.
As I mentioned before, ACORN does get funding from other organizations. I don't know if it was this thread or not. But there are other funders. The HUD funding will put a dent in the work they do, but the work they do will not stop.
I agree 1000%.
