Found this video of a small kerfuffle with ACORN frauds selling Gadsden flags at the Protest! After they were discovered for who they were, they were chased out of the Mall.

I guess we better beware of who we purchase from at future protests, so that we’re not inadvertently filling ACORN’s coffers.
---------------------------------------
from TheSpiritOfTruth's YouTube video report:

My blog: http://SpiritOfTruth.me

This is footage of a small group of ACORN activists getting chewed away from the 9/12 DC rally at the Capitol. Apparently someone in the organization decided it'd be ironic to sell "Don't Tread On Me" flags to protesters with proceeds going to ACORN. The plan didn't work out so well as one of the protesters, Tim Jones, overheard the police telling the ACORN folk to leave the rally. After circling a bit, the activists tried to continue their flag marketing, but Mr. Jones would not have it. He followed them announcing to the crowd that they were ACORN provocateurs. Consequently, Tim was hit in the face, shoved and even his wife was rustled up a bit. But his efforts paid off as the Capitol Police eventually intervened and showed ACORN the way out."

Guess the Navy is a terrorist organization since every ship flies the Don’t Tread on Me flag.

If we had a president and attorney general who were not in bed with acorn, we would have to build a lot of new prisons to house all the acorn hustlers. As it is, they’ll get protected by the WH, justice department, and gutless republicans in congress.

It's got nothing to do with race; it has everything to do with culture and ideology. it just so happens that black culture in America has by and large been coop'ed by the liberals, who are not against using violence against those who disagree with them.

You'd find the same amount of vehemence and violence in a crowd of white liberals as you would black ones. The facts have proven that time and time again.

I did see it yesterday. Does not surprise me.

I honestly think that the local ACORN people were trying to make a LOT of money off the protesters...using it as a wind fall of sorts.

Those women may have claimed ACORN status to try and legitimize what they were doing not realizing what kind of back lash they would face.

If they thought they were going to somehow make those protestors look like a bunch of wild eyed, violent, tear down the nation types, they were sadly mistaken.

My own guess is that some folks were trying to cash in. Her assault on the one man, IMHO, should have been pursued

I couldn’t believe they admitted to being members of acorn, since they warned the pimp and prostitute to avoid talking or they could end up on fox news. Dontcha think they had to know they were in enemy territory?

I think they were desperately trying to use something to legitimize themselves to the two Capitol Police on the bicycles. Those two women know ACORN is a big organization with a lot of pull and probably thought that would help with the officers.

All it did was make clear to the officers that they had to go.

I believe these two women were out trying to make a lot of money for themselves (or their local ACORN office) but I would lean towards a self-profit motive.

Just my opinion though.

Oh okay, understood. I agree, that’s very plausible.
