Two of the individuals on ACORN’s eight-member advisory board include John Podesta (the chairman of President Obama’s transition team after the election) and Andrew Stern, the president of SEIU who is intimately involved with the White House on numerous issues, including the health care plan. Some Democratic elected and appointed officials also have close ties with ACORN.

This just gets filthier and filthier.

Somebody needs to get Podesta in front of a camera and see if he will defends their current and past disturbing behaviors or turns on ACORN.

We also need the NAMES of those elected and appointed officials that have close ties with ACORN according to this article.

I would guess the 75 that voted in ACORN's favor yesterday is the starting point of the list.

“I would guess the 75 that voted in ACORN’s favor yesterday is the starting point of the list.”

Almost everyone of those 75 come from the worst inner-city hell-holes in America. Without ACORN, and ACORN-related Orgs, most of those 75 have a good chance at being defeated in 2010.

America’s Inner-city’s may just have a chance if ACORN can be destroyed..

Lets not forget that Podesta is also one of those who is choosing the independent investigator of ACORN.

Regarding the author of this Politico story, this appears at the bottom:

Ken Blackwell is a former undersecretary at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

Hmmm, wonder if he knows where a few proverbial bodies are buried???

There was a story just the other day about an SEIU official busted for child pornography.

Like I tell my kids, “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future!”

Look at Obama’s friends!

Unless I’m mistaken, Blackwell is the former Ohio SOS who went after ACORN vote fraud and became a candidate for GOP chairmanship. (A much better choice than Steele BTW)

No connection to Obama they say. Obama was the ACORN lawyer for crying out loud.

You are correct...he was also involved in trying to bring Anita Moncrief into the limelight;

http://anitamoncrief.blogspot.com/search?q=

She was ready to testify that the SOS, Brunner, was sharing information with Karyn Gillette, who was her boss at Project Vote, an ACORN front, and getting the Obama donor lists DIRECTLY from Obama...a REAL felony...but they creamed Anita and I can’t for the life of me understand why they can’t get her back into the limelight. I saw Blackwell recently discussing it on a talk show. With all the ACORN stuff going on, I think it would be an opportunity to revist this only verifiable connection directly between Obama and ACORN;
