Posts about ACORN as of September 21, 2009

“Yeah but you should see the portrait in my closet.” Considering how long it usually takes for true creepiness to emerge out of any Presidential Administration – let the first few months of the Obama Administration serve as fair warning to those who were too stupid to see Barack Obama coming years ago. Coming hot ON the heels of the lethargic State Media’s belated discovery that things might be rotten in ACORNmark (including a ten year old embezzlement story that even I knew about) – the desperate at any cost (as long as they’re not paying for it) ‘cool wannabee’ nature of the Administration is now pouring out into the disinfecting rays of the sun.

Wednesday, September 16, 2009 Videos Jeopardize ACORN’s Funding S.A. Miller The liberal activist group ACORN rakes in millions of dollars in federal taxpayer dollars a year – at least $53 million since 1994 for its housing programs alone – but that largess is in jeopardy after a hidden-camera video showed one of its workers advising a supposed prostitute how to cheat on taxes and mortgage applications.

That’s right folks. ACORN is bringing one of it’s subversive units to Fort Wayne, which operates under the name of Organizing for America. Nick Buis, State Organizer and Alison Griffin, Regional Organizer for Organizing for America are leading the charge, (read; ACORN) and will be in town on Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. at Brevin’s Restaurant in Churubusco. Show them what you think, and make your way to the sidewalk outside Brevin’s restaurant in a peaceful protest.

The ACORN scandal has rocked the lid off of corruption, scandal and hypocrisy by a so-called “community activist” front. A radical marxist front that has been doing nothing but shepherding big union special interests through government and radical secular theology, funded by taxpayers, into neighborhoods across America.

I am a 69 years old man that. in my working years owned several businesses. Just as my Dad had taught me I practiced honesty. “Son,” Dad said. “Your word is your bond. If you say you will do something then you have given your word and you must honor that word. Never trust a liar…never.” I am not one to lie or to speak so as to omit the truth of my statements and my heartfelt beliefs. It is simply horrible that this nation has elected a man to the Office of the President of the United States of America that will not live according to those self-same rules.

Obama Ties to ACORN Date Back Nearly 20 Years. President Obama took great pains Sunday to act as if he barely knew about Acorn. In fact, his association goes back almost 20 years. Only one of the five television networks that interviewed President Obama for their Sunday shows bothered to ask him about Acorn, the left-wing community organizing group whose federal funding was cut off last week by an overwhelming vote in Congress.  “Frankly, it’s not something I’ve followed closely,” Mr.

REUTERS: U.S. charges Obama fund-raiser in $290 million fraud. “Hassan Nemazee, a fund-raiser for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, has been indicted for defrauding Bank of America, HSBC and Citigroup Inc out of more than $290 million in loan proceeds, U.S. prosecutors said on Monday.” Boy, the hits just keep on coming, don’t they? Plus, it sounds like Obama may have actually gotten some of the money: “The office of the U.S.

National Freedom Forum Sunday, September 20, 2009 ACORN – Time for Federal Investigation ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) has come under increased scrutiny because of various illegal activities. ACORN is under investigation in various states for voter fraud. ACORN has in fact been convicted of criminal activity for voter fraud. ACORN, founded in Arkansas in 1970, is a tangled web of organizations that are nothing more than the street fighter wing of the Democrat Socialist Party.

As Acorn Falls, Democrats Would Be Wise to Duck: Kevin Hassett Commentary by Kevin Hassett Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) — The group known as Acorn found itself at the center of a media storm last week, when two young filmmakers exposed the willingness of workers at several of its offices to offer assistance to a nascent prostitution ring. The video sent shockwaves through Washington. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now is no fringe organization.

ACORN Closing Down 40% of its Offices Moonbattery ACORN was where the Moonbat Messiah got his street cred as community agitator. ACORN was the unsung hero (to the left) of the 2008 elections. The same Barack Obama who claims he knows nothing … NOTHING … about ACORN gave them $800,000 out of his campaign coffers for “get out the vote” activities. ACORN’s questionable voter tactics secured a margin of Obamacrat victory in normally sane states like North Carolina and Indiana.

Dan Calabrese asks, “Imagine this headline and lead appearing in any newspaper , save for the Washington Post , in 1972:” Post Reporters Deny Using Questionable Tactics to Entrap Nixon The proposition seemed outlandish. Two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, would accept information from a secret source who would only be known as “Deep Throat.” This information would be so damaging to president of the United States, it would unleash a scandal that would shake the foundations of the nation’s government to its core.

I have watched a good number of presidential speeches to Joint Members of Congress in my lifetime. The one President Obama gave shocked me to the core. How do you sell a bipartisan bill on health care reform by smearing the other party. From the one trillion dollar deficit he inherited, to accusing town hall citizens, Republicans, insurance companies, to labeling everyone who doesn’t agree with him about documented parts of the House Health Care bill as liars, to nailing Sarah Palin.

Suborning NEA Funded Artists for Political Purposes The White House has been caught on tape conspiring to use the National Endowment for the Arts to advance the Obama political agenda. The conference call involved Buffy Wicks, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. According to BigGovernment.com , Buffy Wicks, known as “Buffy the Walmart Slayer” to her friends and allies, is the former political director of a group called Wakeupwalmart.com, financed with union money, that successfully  harassed Walmart into pulling advertising from the Glenn Beck Show as punishment for Beck’s opposition to the Obama agenda.

1928: Association of Communist Organizations forms to raise funds for the new international labor organization REVOLUTION NOW! The two organizations are committed to building camps worldwide where communists and union thugs will be secretly trained to defeat capitalism. George Soros’s grandfather is seen smoking dope and consorting with prostitutes at a camp built high in Mexico’s Sierre Madre mountains where vacationing capitalists are kidnapped, held for ransom and regularly flogged by campers.1935: REVOLUTION NOW! is dismantled and its members are hired by the newly formed United Auto Workers.

Pregame Report: The NEA Conference CallOn August 25th 2009, Big Hollywood’s Patrick Courrielche broke the story of a conference call he attended with other “rising artist and art community luminaries”: On Thursday August 6th, I was invited by the National Endowment for the Arts to attend a conference call scheduled for Monday August 10th hosted by the NEA, the White House Office of Public Engagement, and United We Serve.

The Associated Press WASHINGTON • President Barack Obama says there should be an investigation into the hidden-camera video involving employees at the activist group ACORN and a couple posing as a prostitute and her pimp. The two ACORN workers are seen apparently advising the couple to lie about her profession and launder her earnings to get housing aid. The video is only the latest problem for the group, which had nearly $1 million embezzled by its founder’s brother and has been accused of voter registration fraud.

This Sunday when President Obama was on the ABC leg of the full Ginsberg, he was asked a question about ACORN.  You would think that, being the most intelligent human to ever hold the post of POTUS, he would have a good answer. You would be wrong : STEPHANOPOULOS:  How about the funding for ACORN? OBAMA:  You know, if — frankly, it’s not really something I’ve followed closely.  I didn’t even know that ACORN was getting a whole lot of federal money. STEPHANOPOULOS:  Both the Senate and the House have voted to cut it off.

Suffice it to say, this guy is a total fraud. Says he didn’t know about them receiving any money. What a crock of shit.

21 September 2009, 10:06 am by Art Downs A seamless collusion of criminality and politics once earned Baltimore the name of ‘Mob Town” long before there was any national crime syndicate and most to the crime in the (once) Free State appears to remain home grown. The early history is fascinating as well as sordid but the more contemporary misdeeds are far more relevant.State Senator Tommy Broadwater went to Federal Prison for a $1,000,000 food stamp fraud.

September 21, 2009The AdmiralLeave a commentGo to comments Click here to donate to Michele BachmannThe House of Representatives yesterday passed a Republican amendment to cut ACORN off from federal funds. And, as you’ll recall, the Senate did the same just a few days earlier.But, despite these votes, ACORN still remains eligible for billions of your tax dollars!Both votes to defund ACORN were amendments to different bills and still have far to go before they reach the President’s pen for signature

….”Every time you turn over an ACORN rock, something ugly crawls out,” said Scott St. Clair, of the nonpartisan Evergreen Freedom Foundation based in Washington…. By Publius – Today, the New York Post rolls out an almost 2,000 words on the history, and troubles, of ACORN. It is a great place to start cracking open the ACORN nut: Pour a cup of coffee, sit back and read the whole thing here .   “Sowing the Seeds of Destruction” ACORN’s shady tactics made headlines last week.

BY SAM FIELDS Guest Columnist   ALLEN WEST HAS NOT FIGURED OUT HE IS A DEMOCRAT   Allen West is the former Army officer who the Republicans used as cannon fodder in the 2008 election against Democratic U. S. Rep. Ron Klein .    West has gotten into the health care debate and has published a list of conservative principles in the Sun Sentinel here. Most sound like they are anti-free enterprise and strangely liberal Democratic:   He supports Medicare, the original “single payer” government run system.

During the last two weeks much of America has been mesmerized by the release of “prostitution sting” videos (except apparently for the White House and Much of the mainstream media). Andrew Breitbart new website, Big Government has done a fantastic job raising questions about the scandal-ridden community organization. The one danger is that people may now think that the Issue with ACORN is a few low-level bad eggs in a couple of offices.

Rep Jim Cooper (D-Tn-5) recently sent a reply letter to one of his constituents who had inquired about his vote to continue funding for the community organization ACORN which not only has been charged and found guilty of voter registration fraud but now is caught on video promoting and supporting tax fraud, prostitution, child prostitution and human trafficking.Here’s Rep. Cooper’s response:Dear Ms. XXXXX:Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your concerns regarding the Association of Community Organizers.

We may be feeling a bit good about having watched what we consider to be the demise of ACORN but unless Congress takes bold action, these fuckers will be in line for billions in government hand-outs. U.S. Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the top Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, is demanding a straight up-or-down vote on a bill dedicated to removing ACORN from the list of recipients of federal largesse, or says he’ll force the issue. And a key conservative vote, U.S. Rep.

President Obama says that ACORN should be investigated after being videotaped by a posing pimp and prostitute. Employees of the activist group were filmed recently advising the posing couple on how to lie about their profession and launder their earnings in order to get aid to buy a home. This video is only the most recent trouble ACORN has gotten into, as they have had almost $1 million embezzled by the brother of the founder, as well as have been accused of faking voter registrations.

Filed under Liberals, Pa House by AlexC On the day the US House votes against continued ACORN funding, the PA House does exactly the opposite. The entire Democrat caucus voted against a motion introduced by State Rep Steven Barrar (R-Chester/Delaware Counties).Why?Well… because they are Democrats of course.But there’s more to the story.There’s another bill introduced months ago by again by Barrar that’s being held up in a committee.to investigate the activities of the controversial Association
