Sorry, that was Peter Flaherty who wrote the article that wrote B of A. I wish he would have listed it.

They are paying protection money, buying peace. Yes, they should stop but understand why they had to do it.

[jazusamo]

Thank you very much.

[dalebert]

me too...if acorn is declared no charitable can the bank still get away with huge donations?

[WOBBLY BOB]

“Bank of Amigos”...

[GOPJ]

Bank of America works with Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) Housing to provide special mortgage products to potential homeowners in NAME OF CITY.

Bank of America? How "special" ? Child sex slaves "special" - twisted tax information "special" how "special"?

Seems like the referenced websites better be cached/saved soon, before they disappear.

I’m so glad I cancelled all my accounts with them a few months back.

Also just an FYI, the nations largest mortgage lender; who is Bank of America’s competitior; does NOT fund ACORN.

If you are talking about Wells Fargo, you are not exactly correct. Wells has not directly given ACORN the kind of money Bank of America has or promoted it. But in 2007 Wells adopted a set of "responsible lending principles" (link here) for its mortgage operations as a direct result of threats and constant protests by ACORN, and it did join ACORN's "advisory council" which is a shakedown operation to get $100,000+ in grants from lenders in return for it not protesting at the lenders' offices.

Exactly. ACORN shook down all the banks for years—and with the muscle of our government behind them. Poor Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are pikers compared to the ACORN gang.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[P-Marlowe]

isnt this conflict of interest

It was a shakedown.

[SevenofNine]

Gee no suprise there eh

[HereInTheHeartland]

If you type in ACORN in their search box; you come up with this:

That's not very ACORN friendly

[jazusamo]

I don’t know how to do that kind of thing but i did copy and paste top two link contents to a file.

Most corrupt administration in history.

Yaaa....and we ALL are wondering why these banksters haven’t yet received the Jeff Skilling/Ken Ley treatment the Bush administration handed out so quickly.
