White House Calls ACORN Employees' Behavior 'Unacceptable'
« on: September 16, 2009, 04:02:49 PM »



At today's White House briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, asked by ABC News about recent government actions taken against ACORN, had a forceful response.

"Obviously the conduct you see on those tapes is completely unacceptable," Gibbs said, raising the issue of videotapes posted online by BigGovernment.com and aired frequently by Fox News Channel that seem to show ACORN employees advising a faux prostitute and faux pimp on how to skirt housing and tax laws.

He pointed out that "previous administrations" had awarded grants to ACORN either through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

See, it's Bush's fault!

I think their behavior in getting 0Bama elected was unacceptable. Their tax exempt status should be revoked.

Hmmm . . . Obama almost rhymes with ACORN, so I'm really surprised at his use of the word "unacceptable" here . . . that's a devastating rebuke OTBE.

He's not upset about their behavior, he's upset that their behavior got caught.

It was funny when I was watching the news and someone from ACORN said it was race related against black and brown people. I almost threw my shoe at the TV but I figured it was easier to change the channel than to replace a TV or dumbas* sh*t

Well that's because we all know 'brown and black people' aren't capable of behaving properly. This is the dem mindset: 'black and brown people' are indeed too stupid, lacking in self-control, and incapable of the good and lawful behavior expected of other folks. I'd be maddened if I was part of this racial group. Too many blacks are placated though by having an out that they ignore the implication inherent in that out. It's almost as if some people don't care if they are seen as negatively as long as it gets them what they want. Unfortunately, for this group, that tired meme is running out and free passes are going to dry up.

SOP for dictator wanna bees is to throw the goofier parts of their base under the bus to make themselves more legit and grab more power.

Acorn is such  convuleted swamp of interlocking tapeworms that they probably won't be out a dime in real terms, but the 0ne gets to look halfway honest, and they sneak in some quirky way to shut down those who have questions.

So we take down Acorn, now the money goes to CCI ----CCI is the new name that Acorn changed to get away from negative press back in June.

There is no Acorn, it is now CCI.
