WHOA!! "ACORN itself might be at the epicenter of the economic and political crises facing this country."

Maybe not the epicenter but no doubt played a major roll in the Fanny/Freddie housing meltdown. They educated the poor on how to get a home loan by lying and providing false information on the loan application.

WOW! Thank you for this excellent information. I've bookmarked this thread--and a bunch on ACORN.

O'Keefe's video might just be the seismic political event that could turn into a devastating tsunami for the Democrats next fall. At the very lest, they sure have made some AWESOME waves!

**Oddly, it was the ACORN people who were unscrupulous. Funny how liberals don’t understand what words mean.**

Spin, pure spin, from the fringe media!

Are the undercover video journalists (James and Hanna) FREEPERS? Does anyone know?

I do have an idea. Of course, hundreds of people have ideas for them these days, but THIS one is REALLY good, guaranteed. I would like to Freepmail them with it if I could.

Don’t forget, it’s not NBC...it’s an affiliate and probably has nothing to do with NBC or GE.

I don’t see anyone that definitely fits the description on that list of January pardons, at least not women from NM; wonder if they were pardoned before then, or if they weren’t from NM. I did notice Clinton’s HUD guy Henry Cisneros’ pardon on that list and he is going to be one of the wonder boys on the “independent committee” looking into ACORN.

I think you heard that wrong. On Beck’s show he said he thought it would be a hoot to film themselves shopping it around, but they didn’t do it.

"I did notice Clinton’s HUD guy Henry Cisneros’ pardon on that list and he is going to be one of the wonder boys on the “independent committee” looking into ACORN."

That's like Gorelick being on the 9/11 Commission or Hamilton Lee being on Sandy Burglar's "Board of Reference."

Dem Dems iz Dense.

Hi, we’re from the media! Are you guys doing anything illegal? No?

That’s good enough for us.

The key is, and always will be, tying ACORN to Obama. Tying Van Jones to Obama. This ACORN story is important, but don’t forget that while this story dominates the national news (even without the Lunatic Fringe media), Obama’s czars are still slaving away to make this a socialist nation.

It is all about tying the corruption and radical communism to Obama to hamstring his agenda until we can toss him in 2012. 2010 is VITAL.

"I think none of our offices are 100 percent perfect.

That is an understatement! I wonder why they refuse to open their books if they are doing nothing wrong. /s

What a delightful thought !!! That would be a wonderful control to show the contrast between ACORN and a real outreach organization. It would be nice to think that they thought of it, but that’s awfully sophisticated (Machiavellian) for such young kids. Tho, they at some point apparently were getting some advice, so maybe said advisor did suggest an alternative mission.

I can’t say I would EVER in my life have had the idea much less the nerve to do what they did. Every time I think of them and what they did, I just have to smile.
