ACORN: Bizarre and Corrupt

Allie Winegar Duzett, November 6, 2009

According to John Fund of The Wall Street Journal, there is one question above all that Americans should be asking with regards to ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now): “How did they get away with so much for so long?”

Fund posited two possible answers at Accuracy in Media’s 40th Anniversary Conference held on October 23, 2009, the first being a “presumption of good intentions. ACORN was a community organizing group,” Fund said. “When their offices were raided in Nevada,” he noted, they told the world, “We’re just community organizers, like the president.”

“Community organizers have a noble tradition in America,” Fund said, referring to America’s past of organizing communities for purposes of freedom. During the Revolutionary War, community organization was key. However, Fund said, ACORN has “subverted that tradition, and turned it into something both bizarre and corrupt.” ACORN has used many ugly strategies to bend banks and other corporations to their will.

“The second reason why ACORN I think got away with it for so long, in addition to the good intentions they were credited for, was frankly the subject of race,” Fund said, explaining that the founders of ACORN—who were white—had started ACORN with a plan to use minorities to overload America’s welfare system and eventually bring capitalism down from the inside, and “have the revolution.” But, Fund added, “Over the years I think [ACORN] morphed into something far more predatory.” He explained that today, a few white people run ACORN and its affiliates—while letting the minorities become the face of the organizations and do the dirty work for them....
