Bizarro World: ACORN To Investigate ACORN
They are under investigation for voter fraud in 14 states and now are reeling under the multiple revelations of their criminal activities chronicled in the Giles-O'Keefe videos, including enablement of prostitution (ah, okay!), intimations of Democrat corruption (gee, you think?), advice on tax evasion, child slavery, intimidation, violence, murder, and more. First ACORN claimed the vids were racist, faked, tampered with, racistandfakedandtamperedwith, an isolated case, isolated cases, not reflective of the real ACORN, yada yada yada. Now this bit of patent ACORN bullshit*:
The problem for ACORN is that this isn't just another one of their shakedowns of a local bank or weak-kneed corporate board willing to pay the Danegeld. This is an awakened American taxpayer they're messing with, and that is a whole different animal.
Also making the rounds, some genuine red meat:
Meanwhile, here is BigGovernment.com's front page as they release the latest damning video:
Remember: OBAMA IS ACORN. ACORN IS OBAMA.
*Disallowed under the new House Rules, section 370.
In a press release, ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis says, that as “a result of the indefensible action of a handful of our employees,” the group will immediately stop accepting anyone into ACORN office for service programs, will conduct in-service training of staff, and begin an audit “to review all of the systems and processes called into question by the videos,” to be conducted by the group’s Independent Advisory Council.But of course. This is all over the net so might as well run with it:
The Council includes many prominent Democrats, including the man who helped President Obama Transition Team, John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress; former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend; Andrew Stern, International President of the Service Employees International Union; and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros.
A Soros hack, an SEIU thug, someone who pleaded to lying to the FBI, and a Kennedy.Further proof that they just don't get it: they've been busted, and it ain't going away. Not any more. Independant Advisory Council my ass*; this is just the latest and limpest attempt to keep dictating events on their terms, and it won't work. All it does is show that they still think they can run their con game and get away with it.
