Acorn Fighting Back

[Truthmatters]

Yep, they are fighting back.

They have many criminals in their organizationLIES
They are being convicted of many crimesLIES
They lost some of their funding (they will still receive over a billion of stimulus before the 2010 election)

What would criminals do for 50 million dollars, hypothetically, would people who are already committing crimes actually murder someone for 50 million, consider ACORN will receive over a billion, is it possible that an organization that has countless criminals, is it possible that these criminals within the ACORN organization would committ murder in order to divert the attention away from themselves, in order to receive billions and millions of dollars.

The right has been attacking ACORN falsely for years now because they help poor people (mostly of color) participate in elections . They hate it when people of color vote.


The young man who perpitrated this fraud on ACORN employees acted illegally by taping people without their knowledge. The ACORN employees were joking with what they thought was a silly white kid dressed as an obvious halloween pimp doing a Borat style gig.

This will all come out in the end and their funding will be reinstated.

WHY do you Rs hate people of color being involved in the voting process so much?

Oh yeah they never vote for your assholes huh?

Why do you Dems condone child prostitution and human trafficking? Because they always vote for you assholes?

blah, blah, blah

did you read the OP, nitwit? or at least try to sound it out?

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Um... that's not what he said.

That's why I ask. Since you seem to know what mudwhistle thinks, then tell me what did he mean by "His political advisor (Karl Rove's job) is an ACORN board member."?

Um.

"His political advisor (Karl Rove's job) is an ACORN board member."?

He's saying that his political advisor is an ACORN board member. He clarifies 'political advisor' as the person who has the job Rove did during the previous administration ... not that Rove is the person connected to ACORN.

You libidiots are some backward folks. Why inject Rove into the conversation at all? Just name Obama's political advisor that happens to be an Acorn member.

ACORN Embezzlement Scandal is the Latest Controversy in Group's Long, Corrupt History... | Reuters

ACORN Embezzlement Scandal is the Latest Controversy in Group's Long, Corrupt
History Says Employment Policies Institute

Activist Group's Fraud and Dishonest Practices Further Cemented by Cover-Up
Scheme

WASHINGTON, July 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tim Miller, Communications
Director of the Employment Policies Institute, issued the following statement
after The New York Times published an explosive expose this morning detailing
how the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) covered
up nearly $1 million in embezzled funds by its founder's brother:

"It comes as no surprise that ACORN founder and chief organizer Wade Rathke
hid his brother's embezzlement of nearly $1 million dollars from the
'charitable' organization's employees, board of directors, and donors. This is
just one more page in ACORN's corrupt history, which already includes election
fraud investigations in at least a dozen states, hypocritical and oppressive
employment practices, and a political agenda driven by a handful of
anti-corporate activists.

"This shameful embezzlement scheme and the eight year cover-up ought to make
supporters and donors wary of associating themselves with ACORN. It's bad
enough that the boss' brother stole almost a million dollars, but for Wade
Rathke to sweep the crime under the rug and keep his brother on ACORN's
payroll is a disgrace."

In one instance they may have taped illegally, but not in all the cases. Republicans do not hate people of color, if they did they would not have fought so hard against the democrats in forming every civil rights act that's ever been legislated. You really should research which party is the racist party, and it isn't and has never been the republicans.

Case in point "Black History Month" has been observed for 29 years, yet many blacks know little to nothing about the parties' respective roles in advancing or hindering the civil rights of blacks. How many blacks know that following the Civil War, 23 blacks -- 13 of them ex-slaves -- were elected to Congress, all as Republicans? The first black Democrat was not elected to Congress until 1935, from the state of Illinois. The first black congressional Democrat from a Southern state was not elected until 1973.

How many blacks know that blacks founded the Texas Republican Party? On July 4, 1867, in Houston, Texas, 150 blacks and 20 whites formed the party. No, not the Black Texas Republican Party, they founded the Texas Republican Party. Blacks across Southern states also founded the Republican parties in their states.

Fugitive slave laws? In 1850, Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Law. If merely accused of being a slave, even if the person enjoyed freedom all of his or her life (as approximately 11 percent of blacks did just before the Civil War), the person lost the right to representation by an attorney, the right to trial by jury, and the right to habeas corpus.

Emancipation? Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War. In 1865, the 13th Amendment emancipating the slaves was passed with 100 percent of Republicans (88 of 88 in the House, 30 of 30 in the Senate) voting for it. Only 23 percent of Democrats (16 of 66 in the House, 3 of 8 in the Senate) voted for it.

Civil rights laws? In 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed giving the newly emancipated blacks full civil rights and federal guarantee of those rights, superseding any state laws. Every single voting Republican (128 of 134 -- with 6 not voting -- in the House, and 30 of 32 -- with 2 not voting -- in the Senate) voted for the 14th Amendment. Not a single Democrat (zero of 36 in the House, zero of 6 in the Senate) voted for it.

Right to vote? When Southern states balked at implementing the 14th Amendment, Congress came back and passed the 15th Amendment in 1870, guaranteeing blacks the right to vote. Every single Republican voted for it, with every Democrat voting against it.

Ku Klux Klan? In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states. As PBS' "American Experience" notes, "In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power. The most prominent of these, the Ku Klux Klan, was formed in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1865." Blacks, who were all Republican at that time, became the primary targets of violence.

Jim Crow laws? Between 1870 and 1875, the Republican Congress passed many pro-black civil rights laws. But in 1876, Democrats took control of the House, and no further race-based civil rights laws passed until 1957. In 1892, Democrats gained control of the House, the Senate and the White House, and repealed all the Republican-passed civil rights laws. That enabled the Southern Democrats to pass the Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests, and so on, in their individual states.

Civil rights in the '60s? Only 64 percent of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act (153 for, 91 against in the House; and 46 for, 21 against in the Senate). But 80 percent of Republicans (136 for, 35 against in the House; and 27 for, 6 against in the Senate) voted for the 1964 Act.

What about the reviled, allegedly anti-black, Republican "Southern strategy"? Pat Buchanan, writing for Richard Nixon (who became the Republican Party candidate two years later) coined the term "Southern strategy." They expected the "strategy" to ultimately result in the complete marginalization of racist Southern Democrats. "We would build our Republican Party on a foundation of states' rights, human rights, small government, and a strong national defense," said Buchanan, "and leave it to the 'party of [Democratic Georgia Gov. Lester] Maddox, [1966 Democratic challenger against Spiro Agnew for Maryland governor George] Mahoney, and [Democratic Alabama Gov. George] Wallace to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.'" And President Richard Nixon, Republican, implemented the first federal affirmative action (race-based preference) laws with goals and timetables.

So next "Black History Month," pass some of this stuff along.

You libidiots are some backward folks. Why inject Rove into the conversation at all? Just name Obama's political advisor that happens to be an Acorn member.

Take that up with the person who posted it. I'm just telling you it was obvious he wasn't calling Rove a member of ACORN.

Which has nothing to do with the OP in the first place lol.

 

[mudwhistle]

Course they're fighting back.

All their money is being cut off.

Obama is gonna have to find other ways of getting it to them.

His political advisor (Karl Rove's job) is an ACORN board member.

Are you implying Karl Rove is an Acorn board member? If so, then you're going to have to prove that claim.

You can't possibly be this stupid.

The reason, Mr. Einstein, is because the position being filled by a senior ACORN board member is the one that Karl Rove occupied during the Bush Administration. Karl Rove planned and set the political policies for the Bush Administration.

Now, can you possibly use enough gray matter to figure out the significance.

Ain't it funny how a thread about a bumper crop of acorns in Mass turned into a tread about a bunch of ACORN nuts on the USMB. That's just too funny!

I was taking it up with the person who posted it. You piped in as though you knew what the poster meant. Does it have to have something to do with the OP? He made a comment, I asked a question about it. Isn't that how a discussion works? Perhaps you should refrain from jumping into discussions that you know little about.

Glad you're amused.

This thread is a waste of space.

It's designed to cause that response.

It's dishonest and of course people like you think it's funny.

However adults feel it's shit.

What other infantile trick do you think is funny?

Truthmatters is a Bigot. Imagine stereotyping everyone on the right as Truthmatter has. I hope Obama is not the same kind of Socialist that Hitler was because it seems like 95% of his supporters on this site are bigots. I wonder why bigots are attracted to Obama, very dangerous.

Hate people of color, thats funny, I will tell my black wife her white husband hates people of color, I hope her freinds dont find out I hate when they vote. I wonder what will happen when my Mexican freinds find out.

Truthmatters is literally a moron, knowing nothing of me, yet to make such a hateful bigoted statement.

OOOoooooh. Snippy aren't we. Not really, it was designed to have the reader read the article. You didn't and jumped right in with both feet and then tried to backpedal rapidly. Got caught with your hand in the cookie jar and started to make excuses. I guess that could be considered adult, in some alternate universe or politics.
Ya screwed up, be an adult, man up, admit it and move on.

NOOOOOOOO, the title is meant to mislead. It said Acorn, not Acorns. This in itself was a deception. Notice how few are talking about the topic the OP intended.

If the article was meant to be read by all it would have been cut and pasted on the posting, not just a simple link posted leading to it.

Several members have already posted similar comments to mine, so obviously I wasn't the only person to fall for it. It's not hard to fathom the OPs intent.

I already admitted the screw up but that doesn't make the original post anything other then what it is. And that is Shit.
