[Sallow]

ACORN now helps people?

Always did.

They employed ex-cons and found people housing that no one wanted to touch.

You left-turds are a laugh a minute!!!

First it's "FOX lied!! ACORN doesn't exist anymore"

Then it's "It doesn't need to hide"

Then it's "They're bankrupt"

Then it's a little happy dance that ACORN does, in fact, exist.
They're victims of a "republican hit job" and "republicans hate companies that help the poor"......anything to detract from the FACT that the OP flat out fucking lied.

The "Truthseeker" took the word of his MediaMatters e-mail and ran with it without "Seeking Truth"

Fucking bat-shit crazy

Not little ones..big ones.

Maddow: Raw footage reveals O’Keefe lied about ACORN tapes | The Raw Story

Here's a snippet.

But as Maddow pointed out, in the previously unreleased portion of the video, the employee continues asking very detailed questions about O'Keefe's phone number and the exact time and location of the girls' arrival. "What's this ACORN guy going to do with all that information?" Maddow wondered. "Oh, he calls the police and reports what they've told him is going to be a crime."

ACORN name changes

As part of a re-branding effort by ACORN leadership, ACORN International changed its name in 2010 to Community Organizations International. As part of the effort by some chapters to stay afloat by severing ties with the national organization, California ACORN changed its name to Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, New York ACORN renamed itself New York Communities for Change, and an offshoot of the ACORN organization called Acorn Housing changed its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America, yet has retained the same tax and employee identification numbers that it held under its former name


Weary activist group ACORN changes affiliate names - Washington Times

But much else is unchanged: The new group is in the same offices; and the head of the old group, Mike Shea, is the head of the new one. Still, insisted Mr. Shea, “We really have no relationship with ACORN whatsoever.”
Many opponents don’t buy it. A distinguishing feature of ACORN for years has been its complex Web of affiliates, some of which shared money and manpower without ever assuming ACORN’s name, said Frederick Hill, spokesman for Republicans on the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
“The idea that some ACORN organizations are trying to obscure who they really are should be troubling to Americans,” he said.
A recent report on ACORN compiled by the House Republicans whom Mr. Hill represents describes ACORN as a “shell game” with a structure “designed to conceal illegal activities, to use taxpayer and tax-exempt dollars for partisan political purposes, and to distract investigators.”
To credibly claim a clean break, argued Mr. Hill, the new groups should at least have hired directors from outside ACORN.
“If a company changes its name, the hubbub eventually dies down,” said Bill Lozito, head of Minneapolis-based branding firm, Strategic Name Development. “Changing a name associated with politics is a lot tougher. People won’t let go of the original name and won’t forget.”

ACORN National - the parent organization of all the local ACORN chapters - dissolved.

Some individual chapters folded, some re-organized under different names. Those groups are autonomously run, with no oversight from any national organization.

You have to watch Fox first, then make up your own mind.

I can see why that concept is foreign to you.

Come on righties, tell us why you hate Acorn so much. I have seen accusations galore from the right, but no facts. What is it? You just swallow everything that Faux says without ever checking what they say?

Were you aware that after the phony asshole pimp left their offices that many called the police? It was all BS on O'Keefes side and he is being sued. But you believe every damn word. The Attorney General of CA not only checked out the videos that O'Keefe posted on line but also the entire videos and that asshole did some heavy duty editing. But obviously you don't care as long as you can just hate them.

I get so damn sick of all the false accusations that come from the right. Honest to goodness you are all a bunch of cultists.

The group ACORN was loathed by the GOP right. Because it consisted of and advocated for minority groups, particularly voter registration, it represented the "scary, black man." As ACORN also organized for President Obama, the "scary, black man"-in-chief, they were frequently accused of "voter fraud" - an allegation not substantiated by the facts. As such, it was targeted by video slime merchant James O'Keefe, whose sting videos took pride of place on Fox News. He and his videos, which might have broken state laws, were subsequently discredited and ACORN was exonerated of any wrong doing. After having been defunded by Congress, it subsequently filed for bankruptcy, but right wingers fear that those scary dark people are still lurking out there. Thus, a right wing rumor, thanks to the right wing Scaife funded site Judicial Watch, has surfaced which claims that ACORN members are getting secret monies from a DOJ grant to the Afforadable Housing Centers of America. It's not true but who cares when that "scary, black man" card can be dealt from the deck of right wing propaganda. Not surprisingly, Fox News, the mouthpiece for the right wing, has picked up on this newest lie. Not suprisingly, Fox & Friends, "the morning happy-talk show that Ailes uses as one of his primary vehicles to inject his venom into the media bloodstream" is promoting it on his morning propaganda machine that still works on week-ends.

Prove it. You are, of course simply posting RW talking points. But go ahead, lets see some proof.

Although I'm quite sure you would rather the poor didn't register to vote. They see right through your BS.
