EDITORIAL: What is ACORN?

Wow so this is the dreaded ACORN that threatens to spread socialism throughout America. I see someone at WT finally stopped moaning how the so called liberal media wouldn't investigate ACORN and did some work for themselves for a change. This is all it is? How pathetically desperate can this paper and Cons get? ACORN is to blame for a world wide credit melt down? Voter registration fraud? Wow thats never happened in our country before. Prosecute them for whatever crimes they committed and lets move to real problems. The fact the this nonsense is the main focus of a WT editorial demonstrates how slavishly biased this paper is and has always been. This hardly warrants a couple of paragraphs in a real newspaper.

"Barack Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along. Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. ACORN is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because ACORN works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. ACORN likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama" - Stanley Kurtz, National Review Online.

kc, your a buffoon if you think ACORN is no big deal. They must be stealing the election for your candidate. CRA has already been vetted by this newspaper and the R's and D's culpability in the credit melt down has been and continues to be discussed in this paper. Your attempts to deflect criticism from this group makes me question either your intelligence or your motives.... Maybe a quick peek on Moveon or kos blogs will answer that question.

I see. Anyone who doesn't agree with your interpretation of how important ACORN is relative to a global credit crisis, massive deficits, Al Qaeda reasserting itself, $10 billion a month wasted each month in Iraq, and $2 trillion lost in the stock market is a buffoon. No wonder the country under Bush is a wreck. Con priorities are fighting their idea of the countries true enemies, democrats.

The fact that there are some that profess "this hardly warrants a couple of paragraphs in a real newspaper", worries me. Voter fraud is serious, and a responsible newspaper owes it to the reading public about organizations such as Acorn... Intimidation and harassment should not be tolerated in a free society. Take off the blinders people before it's too late!

ACORN - Another Communist Organization Represented as Normal

ACORN, like so many other groups has become nothing more than a front for the socialist wing of the Democratic party.

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Wednesday, October 08, 2008 "Obama paid ACORN, which has endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report. (They were disguised in his FEC disclosure as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for "advance work.") What's more, Obama worked as executive director of ACORN's voter-registration arm, Project Vote, in 1992. Joined by two other community organizers on Chicago's South Side, Obama conducted the voter-registration drive that helped elect Carol Moseley-Braun to the Senate that year. The next year, 1993, Obama joined the civil-rights law firm Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, where he sued the state of Illinois on behalf of ACORN to implement the federal "Motor Voter" law, which the GOP governor at the time refused to do. Then-Gov. Jim Edgar argued, presciently, that the Clinton law would invite voter fraud." ------------ Community organizer Obama and ACORN, another radical association. Obama will gloss over any accusations, disavow any relationship and claim it's just a nasty late minute smear by McCain. And the ever so responsible MSM will give their beloved candidate another hall pass....Wake up America!

ACORN has gotten away with being responsible for one of the biggest income redistribution programs in history and the socialist Obama shares responsibility for it and American taxpayers will be paying for it for years Think about it.

How about cutting off Wall Street and the international banksters?
