ACORN at the White House
American Spectator ^ | 11.2.09 | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 11/02/2009 5:56:09 AM PST by opentalk

Of particular significance is the visit by ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson who met with White House political director Patrick Gaspard in March. The purpose of the meeting with Gaspard, a former ACORN employee himself, was not disclosed.

Levenson, who is also a registered lobbyist for New York ACORN, is the charming fellow whom Glenn Beck threw off his set May 6 for calling the TV host a racist. He's been helping to coordinate ACORN's public disinformation strategy which relies heavily on lies and misdirection.

It is worth noting that Levenson's visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue wouldn't in itself be untoward except that Obama claims -- unconvincingly -- to be out of the loop regarding ACORN.

After the undercover prostitution sting videos first surfaced in September the American public began to realize that ACORN is a vast criminal conspiracy whose reach extends to the highest levels of the U.S. government. Obama said at the time he was barely aware of ACORN's problems. "This is not the biggest issue facing the country. It's not something I'm paying a lot of attention to," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

...Two of ACORN's most important financial backers also visited the White House.

Radical billionaire George Soros, who funds ACORN through his Open Society Institute, visited the White House four times this year.

Soros acolyte Gara LaMarche, president of the Atlantic Philanthropies, dropped by the executive mansion twice. LaMarche's Bermuda-based charity has pumped $25 million into an ACORN front group called Health Care for America Now (HCAN) that is pushing for socialist healthcare.

Whatever happened with the whole ACORN/pimp thing? That seems to have totally disappeared -- swept under the rug. I was sure that a RICO indictment would result, but instead people act like nothing happened.

I believe some folks are worried that ACORN will be active in the vote counting in NY-23 and other races this week.

ozero’s justice department is run by hand picked personnel who will always protect ozero and his fund base. The dimrat party is loyal to their party only and everything else comes secondary or less.

ACORN's public disinformation strategy which relies heavily on lies and misdirection

Should have been written OBAMA's public disinformation strategy which relies heavily on lies and misdirection,

Obama is ACORN and ACORN is Obama, isn't that OBVIOUS?

From Big government.com- Acorn is going into hospitals

"The tipster reported seeing individuals in the ACORN shirts entering the hospital with blank absentee ballots and leaving with completed ballots. There are reports out of Camden, New Jersey that voters are discovering that absentee ballots have already been submitted under their name. They did not authorize these"

(”White House political director”)

“The purpose of the meeting with Gaspard, a former ACORN employee himself, was not disclosed.”

It appears to be a huge task to keep up with these characters and all of their backgrounds. (Between czars and WH people) do any of you know of a webpage that has the entire list of czars and hires @ WH? I was going to attempt to do a mini research project when all the czar info came out but that fell through due to circumstances beyond my control.

What can they do to resolve that issue? Do they just lose their right to vote?

Just read the webpage. Yes, but I don't know why the Republican Majority Campaign calls them misfits. To me, that conjures the image of a bunch of kids who do random acts of neighborhood vandalism. The descriptions indicate a far more advanced level of subculture..and they are a subculture attempting to take over the american pro-capitalism culture. They struck gold with obama and the ability to suppress background information during the campaign. Unbelievable the media became pawns the way they did. And if you are familiar with chess, pawns are great little protectors.

Sidenote:
When hitler’s manifesto became a #1 seller, I blew it off as just a morbid yet important interest in history. It just occurred to me, that the folks buying them may have used it as a guideline to get them where they are today..CZARS, acorn and obama. Let alone the alinsky tactics. :-(

We are witnessing the downfall of American Civilization, and if we don’t ride the wave that is building with these Conservative elections, and ride them HARD, there will be evil here the likes of which we never imagined we would ever see in this country.
The left here is islam everywhere else. Same mentality. Same lack of conscience. it is as much jihad as anything I have ever seen. And THAT is saying something.

Bump. (See you got the list.):)

“The purpose of the meeting with Gaspard, a former ACORN employee himself, was not disclosed.”

After all, there ARE elections to be attempted to be stolen tomorrow.

I am telling you right now that if there is an attempt to steal these elections on Tuesday, there will be blood. This is no fooling around. Nothing is more dangerous than a cornered leftist.

They really do make Al Capone look like an Eagle Scout by comparison.
