Michelle Malakin wrote about ACORN here

As I wondered in the other thread here about this, "Betcha CNN won't touch this!"

So I decided to let google be my friend.  I entered "ACORN" as my search term in google news and found it buried halfway down the list.....note THEIR headline:


I never could get that far. On the AOL political page, there's a link to CNN, one of their *trusted* parteners, here are the CNN headlines of the day:


Quote
Reporters call it for Obama
Analysis: Debate no game changer for McCain
Report Card: How did they rate?
Martin: McCain-Palin's risky move
Age, health questions continue for McCain
More Stories

 :whatever:

This bias and ACORN-driven voter fraud are what were the key ingredients for a Barack Hussein Obama win.

There's definately enough probable cause IMHO for a RICO case.

Fox News was covering the ACORN story this morning and even covered Obama's early group "Project Vote", and his acting as a lawyer for ACORN years ago.

Thank God someone has the guts to connect all of the dots in this one.

Barry does not have the best interests of this nation in mind. He wants a socialist workers "paradice" with a government planned econiomy. Well, we see what happens with a planned economy such as the one we hav e today. I say this because the very rapid growth was spurred by the mortgage market as was directed by the idiots in the Congress. Indeed, it was the WRONG over regulation by the Congress and American inventiveness that "gamed" the system AGAIN and made  the prices go crazy until there was a market surplus. At which time, the deflation started.

Maybe we can have a socialist paradise like Cuba, but you can bet with Barry in there and a larger majority of dems in Congress, Acorn will indeed get their 20% of everything. Maybe this time the percentage will be even higher. I'm getting more and more distressed with this.

The fear is finally starting to set in. The problem is, none of the old rules even apply. The markets should be rebounding, but they aren't. I've been watching a couple stocks in the hopes of buying low, but things just keep sinking and sinking.

I think the real fear is the fear of Obama and what our lives will be like with him and the dems in power.

St. Louie Woman,

So dollar cost average in the market by buying the stock in small lots, say under $1,000 each buy. If the drop continues, you still have a low average, like in Ford or GM, and if you get too worried, you can stop buying and move to another stock, don't like 3M, switch to Rubbermaid or General Mills.

Regatdless, you've got to be reaDY TO SIT ON THE STOCK FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS IN THIS MARKET.

Fox reported earlier that Boehner (sp?) was calling for rescinding fed funding to ACORN.

There are discrepancies showing up all over the place.

I hope he has the guts to stick with it. The idea of the feds subsiding that group of thugs gets me even sicker than those execs from AIG at the spa.  :banghead:

ACORN is federally funded?  I probably should have known that, but it did come as something of a shock to me.

They receive tax dollars.....how much I haven't been able to figure out.

I'm kind of working and though it's been on a lot this afternoon....seems like every time I'm on the phone is when it's being discussed.

From its fiscal years 2004-2006, ACORN Housing Corp obtained 40% of its funding from the government, totaling more than $7 million.

Amazingly, the Marion County, Indiana registration is 470,000 out of 440,000 eligible voters... (+30,000)

just about what ACORN was able to register in Indiana!

It seems that ACORN has a quota system to get paid. Works out to 20 an hour, 160 per fday. That gives you 3 min to find, complete the form and get a signature. No bathroom breaks, lunch, coffee etc etc. It is IMPOSSIBLE to do  this legitimately, impossible. PLUS, they travel in groups. So, extortion plays a part.

But the "bosses" blame the "workers".

I heard on the radio some of the "bosses" are felons too.  Some guy, also a felon, quit working for them and said something like, "I may be a felon but these guys are crack heads" or something like that.

Or here is something more like a proper quote:

Quote
Jason Anderson rose to the rank of supervisor in ACORN even though he was a convicted felon. Other employees had served time for identity theft. Another former inmate who worked for ACORN told authorities his co-workers were "lazy crack heads."

That doesn't suprise me a bit that goggle has done that!  Figure's they are part of the leftist pack.  CNN tell the truth!  NEVER!  Especially if  it might hurt there shining star Nobama!  :bird:

I'm just glad that the raids have happened and it's about time.  I was shocked today to hear NBC actually say something good about McCain and said the Nobama was lying about one of his statements from the debates.   :o

the vegas story keeps getting weirder and weirder.  I love the last sentence;  "we didn't break the law that we broke, THEY broke the law that we broke" :whatever:

Inmates Helped ACORN Gather Voter Registrations

The governor's office says it got a lot of calls following allegations of voter fraud with a group called ACORN. People were worried about the integrity of the registration process. Governor Gibbons has now requested an outline of how poll workers are trained.

Meanwhile, Eyewitness News has learned convicted prisoners were working for the community organization.

At Casa Grande, inmates who have demonstrated good behavior are allowed to leave the premises for work. The Department of Corrections outsources job placement to a private group called Choices, based on Valley View.

According to the affidavit in support of Tuesday's search warrant, it was Choices which first contacted ACORN to discuss inmate placement.

"What happened was Casa Grande, which is a rehabilitation program that is part of the Nevada Department of Corrections, approached us this summer and said, 'Hey, we've got this rehab program we would like to offer these inmates to work with you as your employees,'" said Matthew Henderson with ACORN.

But state law appears to bar inmates from such work. It says inmates may not "have control over or access to personal information" such as what is contained in a voter registration form.

ACORN denies they approached Casa Grande for workers and say it was state officials that broke the law by coming to them.

The graphic I hotlinked to from the ACORN site no longer works.  It looks like either the site has problems, or they took it down.  but here is a link to a pdf displaying the numbers of voters that they are claiming to have registered nationwide.  it's alarming, to say the least.
