ACORN Officials Scramble, Firing Workers and Shredding Documents, After Exposed as Players Behind Occupy Wall Street Protests

Officials with the revamped ACORN office in New York -- operating as New York Communities for Change -- have fired staff, shredded reams of documents and told workers to blame disgruntled ex-employees for leaking information in an effort to explain away a FoxNews.com report last week on the group’s involvement in Occupy Wall Street protests, according to sources.

Yep, you can just bet the MSM will hop right on this story.

I like this part, "Officials with the revamped ACORN office in New York -- operating as New York Communities for Change".

Just change your name, pull the same crap and get away free again.

‘No, but that’s your job,’ and staffers were like, ‘Yeah, our job is to protest,’ and Westin said, ‘No your job is to fight for economic and social justice. We just send you to protest.’

Total lying scuzzballs ..

Gotta read the whole article .. they photocopied pics of FNC reporters and gave them to their ‘employees’ so they’d know not to talk to them. Now, they’re scrambling .. they’ve been caught .... again.

I heard about this, but what can we expect to happen?
Silence from the lamesteam?

They’re too busy covering Herman Cain, despite no charges and no sworn testimony.

Gotta destroy the black Conservative, ya know.

You have that Right! MSM doesn’t give a fig. This is never going to stop until we can get people in DC who want to save this country from the dispair it is in.

ACORN is involved? Come on, no way.
They're out of business. Or so they say.

This:
   "It was pretty funny. Jonathan told staff they don't pay for
   protesters, but the people in the meeting  who work there objected and
   said, `Wait, you pay us to go to the protests every day?' Then Jonathan
   said  `No, but that's your job,' and staffers were like, `Yeah, our job
   is to protest,' and Westin said, `No your job is to fight for economic
   and social justice. We just send you to protest.'
   
   "Staff said, `Yes, you pay us to carry signs.' Then Jonathan says,
   `That's your job.' It went on like that back and forth for a while."
Is some of the funniest stuff I've read since "Through The Looking Glass" and makes just as much sense...

I have a theory (developed over long years working in a large bureaucracy) the to attain a management position they have a needle stuck in their heads and half their brains sucked out.

Looks like that is actually done to Acorn-hole management...

Billionaire business mogul Penny Pritzker is a member of one of America’s richest families and was the Finance Chair for the presidential campaign of Barack Obama.  It was Pritzker that led the prolific, and illegal, fundraising that helped power Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.  She was the chair of Chicago-based Superior Bank’s board for five years. 

Pritzker was into subprime lending before it became all the rage starting in around 2000.  Prtizker's chairmanship was to concentrate on sub prime lending, principally on home mortgages, but for a while in subprime auto lending, too, after the Pritzkers' bank acquired its wholesale mortgage organization division, Alliance Funding, in December 1992.

Back then they called it "predatory lending."

Superior Bank went belly up in 2001 with over $1 billion in insured and uninsured deposits; 1,406 depositors lost much of their life savings.  This collapse came amid harsh criticism of how Superior’s owners promoted sub-prime home mortgages.

On Nov. 1 [2002] the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. pointed the finger at Ernst & Young, Superior’s auditor, in a fraud suit filed in federal court here.  But that action came two months after a group of Superior depositors accused the bank’s owners and directors, including two members of the Pritzker family, of racketeering....

...Pritzker is chairman of Classic Residence by Hyatt, luxury senior living communities in 11 states; chairman of The Parking Spot, which owns and operates off-airport parking facilities in nine cities; chairman of the credit data company TransUnion and chairman of Pritzker Realty.  She also sits on the board of Global Hyatt and plays a role in numerous non-profit groups, including serving as chairman of the Olympic village portion of Chicago’s bid to win the 2016 Summer Games.
