Bertha Lewis unleashed: Bashes Conservatives and tea party, promotes socialism

Apparently CEO Bertha Lewis said of ACORN yesterday “we’re on life support”. Well, I think ACORN’s remaining benefactors might be a little closer to pulling the plug once and for all after watching this bizarre rant from Ms. Lewis from just a few weeks ago. She is speaking at the Winter Conference of the Young Democratic Socialists on March 25, 2010 – As I’ve said elsewhere, I think it is unbecoming of conservatives to engage in hyperbole and personal attacks. We should allow this to remain the primary tool of our opponents. Lewis is clearly a bit unhinged here, but the underlying debate is an important one for the future of America. Frankly, I wish more “progressives” would express their views so openly.

Looks like the commie left believes the time has come to take down the curtain and openly reveal who and what they are. Perhaps they think the majority of the American public is now sufficiently dumbed-down where it no longer matters.

Funny...she didn’t think claiming socialist was OK on O’Reilly.

“O’REILLY: Okay. Now, MS. Lewis I’m going to ask you pretty much the same question. It seems that ACORN is a quasi-socialist organization. That you want to give, it’s almost a Robin Hood organization. Take from the rich, give to the poor. Because that’s the only way the reverend’s philosophy can come true. You have to get the money from somewhere. And the only place you can get it from is from people who make it. So, I think you’re a quasi-socialist organization. Am I wrong?

LEWIS: Well, I think you are wrong, Mr. O’Reilly. But we have 400,000-plus members all across the country. Working people, low and moderate income people. They have pay taxes. They work hard. They want to see a good democratic society. And all of these labels that we put on Socialists, I don’t know about that. I know one thing. We’re proud Americans. We have been doing this work and doing housing work and working in poor neighborhoods for over 40 years.
