Highlighted in the report:
* ACORN has evaded taxes, obstructed justice, engaged in self dealing, and aided and abetted a cover-up of the $948.607.50 embezzlement by Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke.
* ACORN has committed investment fraud, deprived the public of its right to honest services, and engaged in a racketeering enterprise affecting interstate commerce.
* ACORN has committed a conspiracy to defraud the United States by using taxpayer funds for partisan political activities.
* ACORN has submitted false filings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor, in addition to violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
* ACORN falsified and concealed facts concerning an illegal transaction between related parties in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
“It is outrageous that ACORN will be rewarded for its criminal acts by taxpayer money in the stimulus and is being asked to help with the U.S. census,” said Rep. Issa.

“Two white kids from the cast of High School Musical with $3k and their grandmother’s chinchilla broke this story! It costs CNN $3k to turn on their holograph machine! I do fake news and I’m embarrassed these kids broke this story!”
Now, that’s funny. True, but funny.
“Wade’s brother Dale is SEIU’s frontman-—and also embezzled a million dollars from ACORN....ACORN chose not to file charges. “
Of course not, they split the million ;-)
That’s Right! ACORN changed their name...
“Community Organizations International.”
Atleast that was in June.
They are probably secretly know as MessiahObamaorg at this stage of the corruption.
* ACORN has committed investment fraud, deprived the public of its right to honest services, and engaged in a racketeering enterprise affecting interstate commerce.
RICO, get out the shovels and let’s start digging!
I don’t think this is what Obamy meant by shovel ready
enterprize.
No kidding. Yup, Skippy, those are crimes all right, even when "community activists" commit them in the sacred name of social justice. The question asked by every gang of thugs that tries this stuff is "Whatcha gonna do aboudit?"
I couldn’t resist... Here’s a little ACORN “recruitment” poster featuring Wade Rathke, the original ACORN Pimp Daddy.

Quotes and Excerpts from
Rules for Radicals
By Saul Alinsky - 1971
Tactics
“Tactics are those conscious deliberate acts by which human beings live with each other and deal with the world around them. ... Here our concern is with the tactic of taking; how the Have-Nots can take power away from the Haves.” p.126
Always remember the first rule of power tactics (pps.127-134):
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat.... [and] the collapse of communication.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time....”
8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.”
11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative.”
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and ‘frozen.’...
“...any target can always say, ‘Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?’ When your ‘freeze the target,’ you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the ‘others’ come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target...’
“One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other.” (pps.127-134)
Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: “Known as the ‘father of modern American radicalism,’ Saul D. Alinsky (1909-1972) developed strategies and tactics that take the enormous, unfocused emotional energy of grassroots groups and transform it into effective anti-government and anti-corporate activism. ... Some of these rules are ruthless, but they work.”
Notes from an article by Phyllis Schalfly titled “Alinski’s Rules: Must Reading In Obama Era,” posted at www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=318470857908277 (2-2-09)
“Alinsky’s second chapter, called Of Means and Ends, craftily poses many difficult moral dilemmas, and his ‘tenth rule of the ethics of means and ends’ is: ‘you do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral arguments.’ He doesn’t ignore traditional moral standards or dismiss them as unnecessary. He is much more devious; he teaches his followers that ‘Moral rationalization is indispensable at all times of action whether to justify the selection or the use of ends or means.’...
“The qualities Alinsky looked for in a good organizer were:
ego (”reaching for the highest level for which man can reach — to create, to be a ‘great creator,’ to play God”),
curiosity (raising “questions that agitate, that break through the accepted pattern”),
irreverence (”nothing is sacred”; the organizer “detests dogma, defies any finite definition of morality”),
imagination (”the fuel for the force that keeps an organizer organizing”),
a sense of humor (”the most potent weapons known to mankind are satire and ridicule”), and an
organized personality with confidence in presenting the right reason for his actions only “as a moral rationalization after the right end has been achieved.’...
“’The organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems,’ and ‘organizations must be based on many issues.’ The organizer ‘must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.’”

Well, not long ago he was photographed leering at a 16 year old Brazilian girl's rump...
Sen this to House Minority Leader John Boehner. Going after ACORN is like chasing a ghost, or a corpse.
So the pubs will only expose this
if Glen Beck reports on it for 8 days straight?
I guess so.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM708EjH0bs&feature=related - hopefully, all these things will now be looked at - but also must look at their 'sister' groups that have been set up to operate in case ACORN finally gets shut down. ACORN and the MSM elected pres. Bobble Head - not the American people
This is asking a lot from a corrupt administration where the
leader is ACORN and ACORN is the leader !
Pressure builds for a whitewash to get this thing under control and pretend to do something about the corrupt thugs getting billions of taxpayer dollars.
* ACORN has committed investment fraud, deprived the public of its right to honest services, and engaged in a racketeering enterprise affecting interstate commerce.
RICO, get out the shovels and let’s start digging!
I don’t think this is what Obamy meant by shovel ready
enterprize.
Hey - a shovel-ready project - just like Zero was promoting!
