As scandals concerning the left-wing "community" group ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) continue to metastasize, the organization seems to think it can handpick allies to "investigate" its own transgressions. Fortunately for the rest of us, the growth of independent writers and researchers using modern communications means there are plenty of other outfits that can and will expose corruption.
Case in point: The Pelican Institute think tank in New Orleans keeps unearthing examples of federal and state tax liens against ACORN's national headquarters in the Crescent City. The institute's indefatigable research broke into national attention yesterday via a column by nationally syndicated writer Deroy Murdock in the New York Post. And freelance journalists and state attorneys general not aligned with ACORN are more than holding ACORN's collective feet to the fire. All of this makes a mockery of ACORN's self-selection of two "internal investigat[ors]" to report on where ACORN went wrong.
ACORN is trumpeting its choice of former Massachusetts Attorney General Scott Harshbarger for a supposedly "aggressive, thorough and far-reaching" probe. This is the same Mr. Harshbarger who once kissed up to power by giving "thanks to courageous, independent people like [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi" -- another ACORN ally -- and the same Mr. Harshbarger whose lust for the limelight is such that he prosecuted the now-infamous pseudo-sex scandal in 1986 known as the Amirault case, which observers as diverse as the Wall Street Journal and the leftist Nation magazine now say was a grossly error-filled miscarriage of justice.
Another "adviser" for the internal investigation will be former Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry G. Cisneros. He was last seen pleading guilty on perjury-related charges about hush payments to a mistress. Mr. Cisneros also has a long history of being an advocate for ACORN.

Next thing you know, they will be holding Islamic prayer meetings in their offices.

Obummer IS Acorn
Thanks, looks like others are finally starting to get it.
Life is good!
It seems like everyday some association of, and or with criminals, or of criminal intent is produced with the Democrat Party. Seems to be no end to it all.
The alleged “Culture of Corruption” bestowed upon the Republican Party IMO is proven projection on the part of Pelousey & Co.
IMO there is a source in which criminal monetary support has been solicited, and they have responded. It would be a natural combination for the Communist element.
There’s no doubt in my mind many communists are involved in not only ACORN but other left wing groups of the Dem party.
IMHO, Harshbarger should be in prison for what he did to the Amiraults, and he did it simply to further his own career knowing full well they were innocent and that no crime of any kind had been committed. He is as low or lower than the guy who went after the Duke Lacrosse players.
It's not surprising that he ends up as an insider for leftist organizations. For him, and them, truth and justice mean nothing and they will do anything necessary to achieve their goals.
Thanks, I was not familiar with the Amirault case and made a note to look it up later. I will make it a point now, for sure.
