Rats deserting a sinking ACORN
New York Post ^ | 9/26/09 | Opinion

Posted on 09/26/2009 4:03:02 AM PDT by jersey117

Like rats deserting a sinking ship, ACORN's many enablers over the years are racing for the exits as the scope of the organization's shenanigans come to light.

Even leftist fellow-traveler -- and, until now, stalwart ACORN defender -- Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) is squirming.

What took them so long? We've been warning about the group for ages.

“Criminal activities”...even that is a benign way of describing what they’re really doing. Let’s call a spade a spade, shall we? It’s dastardly, deranged and diabolical.

ACORN take money from taxpayers - shakes down banks and the IRS for funding ... Then they steal from the poor while teaching the values of ripping off Uncle Sam to same...

OK, you're right, equaviator, it's a little past "criminal activities... I'll give you "deranged and diabolical"...

The funniest thing about that comic is that Congress is depicted as investigating (and doing something about) it.

The question is “When will America become so disgusted with the filthy Disease-ridden varmint infestation as to allow/encourage people to go shooting the rats?” in my opinion.

I’m sick and tired of hearing news personalities referring to what’s going on at ACORN as mere “shenanigans”.
++++++++++++++

Right. Anything they can do to minimize us. Witness the incredible disrespect of the Tea Parties and the 9/12 March. Yet when even one hint of conflict of interest is in the air with Delay or Gingrich - bring out the 4 alarm fire engines...

But we KNOW who we are and what we stand for. Thanks all the same traitor media.

Morons, traitors, partisan wonks (anything but journalists - which they pretend they are).

Nice find, tina........

Clinton pictured above with ACORN founder Wade Rathke
(Wade's brother Dale stole $1 million from ACORN--no charges were filed).

The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation had just donated $250,000 to ACORN, providing $275,000 in grants for ACORN's "Katrina Benefits Access project" and ACORN's "Operation Hope Project; Restore Hope."

The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation also helped secure private sector commitments for ACORN.

===============================================

REFERENCE The IRS has pinpointed tax-exempt "foundations and charities" as the locus classicus for tax evasion and money laundering. The BIGGEST tax-exempt fraud --- a tax-exempt foundation writing checks to a tax-exempt charity (the way crooks look "altruistic" as they siphon off tax-free money for personal uses).

We ought to be able to get Dale on Federal income tax evasion. I doubt he paid tax on the stolen million ;-)

Hmmmmmmmm.........sex with an acorn? That's a new one.

Course, there's the guy who had sex with a dumbbell (no, not a bimbo--a real dumbbell).

His member swelled to 5 times normal---so it had to be sawed off (the dumbbell, that is).
