ACORN Officials Scramble, Firing Workers and Shredding Documents, After Exposed as Players

Officials with the revamped ACORN office in New York -- operating as New York Communities for Change -- have fired staff, shredded reams of documents and told workers to blame disgruntled ex-employees for leaking information in an effort to explain away a FoxNews.com report last week on the group’s involvement in Occupy Wall Street protests, according to sources.

NYCC also is installing surveillance cameras and recording devices at its Brooklyn offices, removing or packing away supplies bearing the name ACORN and handing out photos of Fox News staff with a stern warning not to talk to the media, the sources said.

“They’re doing serious damage control right now,” said an NYCC source.

NYCC Executive Director Jon Kest has been calling a series of emergency meetings to discuss last week’s report—and taking extreme measures to identify the sources in their office and to prevent further damage, a source within NYCC told FoxNews.com.

Fox , Acorn’s squirrel, nut breaking in action LOL

[caww]

Acorn is one of bambi’s favorites...they are professional shredders and no doubt will time it each time perfectly to avoid being found out. It’s what they do. They follow their leader.

Here’s where to begin your homework:

The US RICO laws certainly apply here!!

Rush mentioned this article on his radio program a few minutes ago.

The RICO laws only work if there are people there to prosecute them.

It does not matter... we need to find a pubic hair on a coke can that was left by Herman Cain for one of his concubines in his raping harems.

Do you mean, ‘people’ who will formally bring charges?

[Nachum]

Exactly.

Who is going to do it?

[GloriaJane]

Doesn’t acorn equal obama?

Is obama behind the whole thing? Is that why they protest at wall street when they should be out front of the whitehouse?

[Nachum]

‘Doesn’t acorn equal obama?’

Equal? Not sure about that. The term ‘useful idiots’ comes to mind though.

[SMARTY]

Well... THAT would be the clowns we ELECT to speak for us and to conduct some kind of oversight for voter interests

OR... failing THAT, a hue and cry OUGHT to be raised to the roof tops by our illustrious and by now laughably self-important MSM watchdogs of public issues!!!! G&a knows, they interfere loudly and unnecessarily enough all the rest of the time!!!

[Nachum]

Ought to be.

I’ll just wait here and see if they will.

(crickets chirping)

Waiting...

waiting...

waiting..

Think I’ll go make some popcorn.

"The source said staffers at the meeting contested Westin’s denial: “It was pretty funny. Jonathan told staff they don’t pay for protesters, but the people in the meeting who work there objected and said, ‘Wait, you pay us to go to the protests every day?’ Then Jonathan said ‘No, but that’s your job,’

Does this organization receive government money?
I thought ACORN was defunded. If this group is new who is funding them? If they don’t get government money they can support OWS all they want.

Shredding.. must be plento of crimes being concealed.
