For one of Big Labor’s most notorious organizing partners, ACORN, the “chickens have come home to roost” thanks to the James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles continuously unfolding ACORN exposé. If you rely on MSNBC for your news, you may not have noticed ACORN’s very thin “community organizer” veneer being sanded away exposing the rotten termite-infested wood underneath.
Part of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now’s (ACORN) rotten core includes a very cozy relationship with Big Labor. In fact, in many instances ACORN and Big Labor are one and the same. In 2008, Big Labor funneled ACORN millions of dollars for so-called organizing activity. But, that is only the tip of the Big Labor iceberg.
ACORN controls or significantly dominates several Big Labor unions and organizations. ACORN created and controls SEIU 100 (Gulf Region) and SEIU 880 (a recently expanded SEIU mega-local that covers Chicago, Illinois, Indiana, and Kansas).
ACORN founder S. Wade Rathke referred to mega-union SEIU 880 as “one of the pillars of the ACORN Family.”
My, my what deep roots ACORN has. (although the gang is more like a hydra, every time you cut one of its head off it grows more)
ACORN is corrupt from top to bottom. They hire criminals and ex-cons. They obviously break the law and all their offices should be investigated by the DA’s offices in all fifty states for a variety of violations including fraud, corruption, bribery, money laundering, racketeering, payola, voter intimidation and many many other charges. Then they should start investigating the SEIU, the ACLU, the UN, the labor unions, AARP and other leftwing groups who flount the law and think they are all above it.
Bring it all out...drag it out screaming and kicking and let’s let the American people have a real good look at it.It’s beginning to crumble,to waver,to slide.Hammer away at it relentlessly until it’s all exposed.
The teetering ACORN reminds me of the destruction of Sauron in LOTR...about time!
...the one that looks like a giant phallus???
Perhaps it's time for the blind justice Samson to push down these pillars...
*shrug* They all look like dicks to me.
Look at this and read the names carefully.

What are these people doing and why?
Who is Oprah Winfrey to say who lives and dies?
It’s funny that ACORN has prevented its own employees from unionizing, and tried to exempt itself from minimu wage laws.
One of Alinsky’s rules for radicals is to make your opponents live by their own rules. The left is freaking out, because they are finding their opponents applying Alinsky’s rules against the left, including ACORN.
both brothers should be investigated as both groups should be.
Yesterday the Dems went and tried to punish Wilson yet there are Dems right there in that room who have not paid taxes and have been corrupt.
The Dems yesterday embarrassed themselves and anyone with a half a brain would realise this
yea it would be brought out if the media actually did their job
Powerful tidbit that, obvious and characteristic, but one that I hadn't seen. Thank you.
Since these billionaires are deciding which of us should live or die; why don’t we choose which of them should live or die?
so they can have kids but we can’t.
I suggest they piss off with their money to China then.
Heres a thought if you cannot afford a child then do not have one and do not expect me to pay for him/her...
Fed up of seeing a mother or so called mother with 5 kids, 3 fathers and food stamps, WIC, head start , free lunch and breakfast at school.
They can pull up with their BMW or Merc blasting music ,showing off with their expensive music center
Let them give drug tests too if they receive handouts and watch how welfare gets reduced
James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles heroes of “new journalism”...
When they say “Family” they mean as in Gambino, Bonnano, etc.
...Jon Stewart on ACORN and the MSM media blackout
Two brave souls against the goons of the world. Shame on the New York Times, shame on the Washington Post, shame on ABC News... shame on all of them...
