Are those brown lumps ACORNS or ......? Hard to tell.

UPDATED:
ACORN, calling the actions of some of its employees "indefensible," has suspended advising new clients as part of its service programs and is setting up an independent review to see what happened.

Thank you Glenn Beck, Brietbart, James O’Keefe & Hannah Giles!
In addition, she said, "ACORN's independent Advisory Council will help select an independent auditor/reviewer no later than September 18th to review all of the systems and processes called into question by the videos." In early 2009, ACORN set up an independent Advisory Council to help put together a new management team under Lewis. Lewis was appointed to the job in the fall of 2008 after disclosure of a set of improper management decisions by the founder of the organization.
The Advisory Council includes John Podesta, president of the liberal Center for American Progress; Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland; Andrew Stern, international president of Service Employees International Union; Henry Cisneros, a former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development; John Banks, vice president of Government Relations Con Ed; and Eric Eve, senior vice president of Global Consumer Group, Community Relations, of Citigroup.
Gang of rogues & thieves.
Given that the fish rots from the head down, I’d say it’s probably time for Ol’ Bertha to decide to spend more time with her family.
Here's what happened. You got caught.
That's a curious statement after ACORN's leadership spent the last several days defending it employees.
We all knew they’d try the “few bad apples” tactic.
That’s what they’ve always done.
Keep the vids coming.
That is unacceptable.
Who here is dumb enough to believe any of this? The 300 ACORN crime organizations will simply rename themselves, get new corporate charters, and go on as they had before.
ACORN investigating itself?
Sounds like.....Congress investigating itself...
Something tells me, nothing will come of their investigations. Pfffft
Can you say Fox guarding Hen House?
Oh how responsible of this fine upstanding institution...
I thought it was just suspending the new applicant’s for housing.
As I understood it, everything else was still a GO.
Am I wrong?
Hey, why don’t they throw Jamie Garelick in there for good measure! We can always count on her to get at the truth. /sarc
I thought they were going to sue Fox and everyone concerned?
Reposting from another thread:
This is the most important moment in this effort. Acorn is trying a desperate public relations strategy: “You see, we’re conducting an audit of ourselves, so you don’t have to have any other investigation by outside law enforcement or regulators”. The RATS will try like the dickens to help them in this.
It is important to keep the heat on and for Republican leaders to stay hot on the message that this organization needs a colonoscopy, defunding and, hopefully, permanent shutdown of all its entities, offshoots, subsidiaries and shell corporations. A lot of people should be going to jail over this, too.
Sucks to get caught, don’t it? I guarantee you there would be absolutely NO changes in operating procedure had it not been for these two brave young people, James and Hanna. God bless them.
Nah, scapegoats won’t do this time. Break up ACORN.
Translation:
ACORN will hide all their activities even more in the future. These employees will be transferred to other locations, where we will pay all their relocation costs, and any other costs they might incur with the transfer.
America will continue to get screwed by ACORN and NObama.
