ACORN CEO: ‘Attacks Racially Motivated’
ABC News' Jake Tapper ^ | 9-17-09 | Don Irvine

Posted on 09/18/2009 5:39:30 AM PDT by AIM Freeper

ACORN CEO calls employee actions indefensible, but calls attacks racially motivated.

From ABC News' Jake Tapper

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.

Yep, and the way black’s are used at ACORN as disposable human shields, that’s racism too.

Some of the worst racists I have ver met are black people — Like for instance, rev Wright.

These people do not realize the danger they are creating. Victor Hanson wrote yesterday of the whirlwind that will be reaped by the left as it cries Racism at every possible turn. Joe McCarthy came perilously close to devaluing the fact that someone might be a Communist. He was one man. We see an entire political party, its satellites and its media sycophants trumpeting the theme that all dissent is racist. What will they do when the People turn back to them and say, “Okay, I’m a racist. So what?”

I'm going to post this comment I made on another ACORN thread here, too...

It's no wonder that most 'Rats voted along with the Pubbies to defund ACORN.

Funding can always be restored later.

What's important to the 'Rats is that any investigations into ACORN are stopped now. Take away the money, and the 'Rats are figgering no-one will care enough to investigate where all the previously allocated money went.

Note to anyone with any integrity left at DOJ: Your country needs you. Don't let us down.

Remember those ( you could be a Redneck if ? ) ....

You could be a racist, if you want to stop child prostitution and the child sex slave trade.
You could be a racist, if you oppose Marxism.
You could be a racist, if you question the President, the Congress, the Main Fringe Media for the truth.
You could be a racist, if ? your a true blooded average American.

Note to ACORN: Your Race Card has been invalidated because of continued misuse. You may reapply to the consensus of US citizens to reuse this card after you establish your credibility on the substantiative issues of which you stand accused.

“....and the way black’s are used at ACORN as disposable human shields, that’s racism too.”

Agree. As I’ve posted to prior threads on the matter it is my belief that one of probably several of the reasons The radical White Socialist Rathke setup ACORN in the first place was by design to USE the Urban Black Communities across America as tools to achieve Socialism in America.

The Blacks of Urban America are being used.

ACORN is an engineered Socialist organization IMO. Every bit of their shape shifting is by design, and is NOT unlike a virus we often read about that constantly alters its basics, thus is difficult to eliminate.

The term “racism” is commonly employed by those whose mental acuity is lacking. A person who lacks the ability to formulate an coherent argument must resort to hurling baseless accusations to cover up the fact that he/she HAS no argument on which to stand. People who choose to employ the race card are simply elucidating upon the fact that they have lost the argument. When someone pulls out the race card in MY presence, I actually begin to feel sorry for them.

These people usually lack an education above a 4th grade level, so anybody who can formulate a counter argument at a 5th grade level or better will always foment rage in the aforementioned.

“Pathetic” doesn’t even BEGIN to describe those who resort to using the race card...

You can’t find underage French girls willing to do anything. You’d be better off importing underage Russian and Ukrainian girls. They are motivated to perform well.

And then the Democrat’s use the carefully crafted PC crap and finally the racism charge, to fend off critics.

I have done my damndest to remove certain hateful words from my vocabulary that at one time in my wild (and Bill Clinton/Democrat voting) past came fairly easily pouring out of my mouth.
Why are some minorities trying SO DAMNED HARD to bring back those prejudices and ugly attitudes that I had long ago buried?

Exactly! Stand up to it, demand they back up their accusations with fact. Only then will this absurd nonsense stop. People like this back down mighty quick when you hold them accountable, in my experience. We conservatives have been called everything in the book, what's one more silly, baseless moniker? I'm not denying that it doesn't exist-sadly, it does to this day and perhaps even a few here on this forum- But to freely throw the charge around to anyone regardless does a great disservice to those who truly are victims of racism...the very ones these outfits "claim" to be champions for. ACORN, get the damn 2x4 out of your eye before fretting about the speck that is in ours!

Sunlight is the best disinfectant ... Truth is the best weapon. To quote Beck.

The Democrat’s ties to the KKK must become known. Do people think it was Abe Lincoln, who founded the modern day Republican party, who set up the KKK? Really, how would that work.

It only works in the twisted world the Democrats and the now fringe media have tried to weave.

How long do you think they can use this defense? I figure it is their last line of defense, I don’t think there is anything they can use that is more inflamitory that race. They have been using this since the whole police vs Gates think. How much longer do you suppose it will last?
