Vanguard will be hearing from me today! I urge others to write also if applicable.

National Public Radio? Good thing I’m sitting down.

I would bet that if ACORN is actually investigated, thourghly, you will find money being kicked back to individuals that got them much of the donations.

ACORN has a rich history of embezzlement of funds.

Way back to Katrina, remember the woman hysterically telling us in a TV interview about having to step on dead bodies wading through the flood waters?

Was she ACORN or SEIU?

What about the people who planted the fake news stories about "rape gangs" ~ were they ACORN or SEIU?

What about the news media people who bought into those stories ~ do they have ACORN or SEIU links?

[Uncle Ike]

” What about the news media people who bought into those stories ~ do they have ACORN or SEIU links? “

You mean Shep and Geraldo??

They don’t even have links to *reality*.....

Come to think of it, it wouldn’t surprise me a bit....

I’m seeing several people pick up on that. I missed the significance of that. I don’t think I’ve ever heard Vanguard advertise itself as a political outfit.

Perhaps we should all email this to Malkin, Rush, and others so they start discussing the money trails of this group and it’s umbrella groups.

We have to poison ACORN’s roots. It’s roots are it’s money sources.

Typical of the stories that don’t stand up to scrutiny just in case everyone forgot: http://michaelhoman.blogspot.com/2005/09/one-of-millions-of-hurricane-katrina.html

OH, and being the right color also helps.

As I told my hubby last night in reference to the Kanye West debacle: Color doesn't matter to me...but I damn sure will call 'em as I see 'em based on their actions. I'd call out white trash just as quick if they did something so blatently racist.

More stories refered to ~ this particular site seeks to debunk them. I think we may be able to get some names here and track them back to SEIU and ACORN http://www.gangresearch.net/GangResearch/Media/neworleansviol.htm

SEIU has a Flickr "Health" photo stream. Here is one photo from it:

Except white trash doesn't get the same kind of reaction when they use the race card.........

I call em as I see em too, but my comment was based on certain criminals using their color as an excuse for different rules and/or treatment......Unfortunately, our society has allowed for certain kinds of racism in this way. It doesn't make it right.

Actually, I'd like to live in Martin Luther King's dream and I can't help but wonder what he would say if he were still here.

Here is the SEIU with ACORN in Canada:
