With only one week left before citizens in 2,000 U.S. cities take to the streets in protest of government spending this Tax Day, will ACORN and the Huffington Post crash the party?
ACORN spokesman Charles Jackson told WND his group will be rallying on the same day.
"ACORN is going to be engaged in a series of rallies across the country on April 15 in support of the priorities outlined in President Obama's first budget – investments in education, health care, and getting Americans back to work," Jackson said.
He continued, "This is the first we've heard of these 'tea parties' and, frankly, a gripe-fest by a bunch of conservatives whose preferred economic policies got us in this mess in the first place is of no interest to us."
Some say it would be a very difficult task to take over a grass-roots movement so large. The American Family Association is reporting tea parties for 1,856 cities Wednesday, and WND has confirmed information for more than 450 protests.
Fox News' Neil Cavuto reports "over-caffeinated crashers" plan to show up at Tax Day tea parties. He said he has received reports of "very well-organized infiltrators trying to mix in and rain on this parade."
In addition to ACORN rallies for Tax Day, the Huffington Post has organized an online sign up for anyone to attend the events on behalf of its organization as "citizen journalists."
"The Huffington Post wants to have citizen journalists at as many of these events as possible," the website states. "If you think you'd be interested in attending one of the Tea Parties and reporting back to us with dispatches, photos, or video, click here to sign up. We'll contact you shortly with further instructions."

Especially the billions of taxpayer dollars to ACORN part.
ACORN is a Left Wing voter fraud organization who with Liberal Democrats, forced banks into lending to unsafe credit risks...
They support taking my taxes for Communist goals.
Taxation
Ends
Ambition
Why bother to work for those who won’t?
Acorn is just begging for an ass kicking! I say bring it!
God I hope so here at Tulsa’s Lafortune Park from noon til 2 p.m. One free beatdown, coming up.
ACORN should mind its own damn business. Taxpayers don’t interfere with ACORNs threats of violence to executives.
acorn the new move on .org..
Could you ask for any more proof that you're being lied to?

Here is the enemy. People who actually screwed this Nation and its people and can with a straight face lie about it and put it off on others..
Communist
Obama funded
Racist
Nuts
I theory...WE, the taxpayers, OWN Acorn. They received a bundle of bailout $$$$.
ACORN wants you to attack them. ACORN WANTS to provoke you into some kind of violent response. PLEASE, be peaceful, do NOT react physically when provoked UNLESS you are first attacked. Self defense is one thing... But they are trying to provoke you so that they can provide video pootage to persecute you, and to discredit those who share our views. Do not react in a nevative manner — the time for such a reaction MAY come — but it is not yet!
What’s amazing to me is that ACORN members AREN’T taxpayers. Kick them back to the welfare rocks they crawled out from.

Well they seem to have never heard of the US Constitution so maybe this should not suprise anyone...
AKA loud blacks picking fights to make it racial.
Super soakers loaded with hot sauce might discourage them?
Hey ACORN...Go ahead...Make my day!
