EXCLUSIVE: ACORN Playing Behind Scenes Role in 'Occupy' Movement

By Jana Winter

Published October 26, 2011 | FoxNews.com

The former New York office for ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing a key role in the self-proclaimed “leaderless” Occupy Wall Street movement, organizing “guerrilla” protest events and hiring door-to-door canvassers to collect money under the banner of various causes while spending it on protest-related activities, sources tell FoxNews.com.

The former director of New York ACORN, Jon Kest, and his top aides are now busy working at protest events for New York Communities for Change (NYCC). That organization was created in late 2009 when some ACORN offices disbanded and reorganized under new names after undercover video exposes prompted Congress to cut off federal funds.

NYCC’s connection to ACORN isn’t a tenuous one: It works from the former ACORN offices in Brooklyn, uses old ACORN office stationery, employs much of the old ACORN staff and, according to several sources, engages in some of the old organization’s controversial techniques to raise money, interest and awareness for the protests.

Sources said NYCC has hired about 100 former ACORN-affiliated staff members from other cities – paying some of them $100 a day - to attend and support Occupy Wall Street. Dozens of New York homeless people recruited from shelters are also being paid to support the protests, at the rate of $10 an hour, the sources said.

“Why isn’t it $200/day, $20/hr???

Hypocrites.”

Exactly. They are demanding everyone get a $20 an hour living wage but are demanding only $10 from Soros.

ACORN, .... is playing a key role in the self-proclaimed “leaderless” Occupy Wall Street movement... ...Organizing “guerrilla” protest events and hiring door-to-door canvassers to collect money under the banner of various causes while spending it on protest-related activities,.... sources tell FoxNews.com.

Well of course...these are our fearless community organizer Bo's 'pets'...they go where he sends them to do his grunt work...and wait for the pat on the head when they're doing doing their dastardly deeds.

[caww]

And they now have rules..."stop snitching"...

hahahaha

... security at the park had deteriorated to the point where many 'frightened female protesters' had abandoned the increasingly out-of-control occupation....Rumors swirled that one homeless man had pulled a knife in a dispute the night before -- and that there had been yet another case of groping. But protesters and a cop on duty told The Post that most of the crime goes unreported, because of ....."a bizarre “stop snitching” rule. “What’s happening in there is staying in there,” said the cop.

Noooooooooo!

[KTM rider]

so let me get this straight

according to all the evidence the president of the United States and his executive branch are :

conspiring and instigating civil disobedience through the "Occupy" attempted coup on Capitalism,

executing foreign wars and assasinations without congressional approval, resulting in the franchised radical Islam takover of the middle east,

is arming foreign enemies with weapons used against US law enforcement and citizens; to wit, the recent "Fast and Furious" atrocity

and all we have to defend us against this attack by Obama is a weak bloated puffy pompous socialist Republican party

I have a feeeling this won't end well
