ACORN - ouch!

Post Reply New Topic

Wow....not good for business. I think the thing I'm having the hardest time with is how these ladies ever had it pass their radar that you could go to the farthest out suburban shopping mall and never hear two people who sound this white, its crazy.

Needless to say I think Penn & Teller might have another show to make.

That's some good advice. And it was free! Seriously, why do you think a volunteer organization is supposed to be the cops?

This campaign against ACORN is the real problem here... I mean, why? Some openly say it's because they like foreclosures and the creation of ghost communities...

ACORN will always have the vulnerability in that it's a set of volunteers - it's difficult to maintain tight discipline through the ranks. ACORN says that this fake pimp and prostitute tried going to different ACORN offices and were differently-received. I think that they're asking ACORN to be like a military organisation with command and control and that the other offices should have been tipped off about this scam... I know that if those ACORN people did do that they'd scream "paramilitary assassins! New Brownshirts serving the New Hitler!"

Something about ACORN and the way it's depicted makes me think of a Rolling Stones song; Paint it Black...

I think the same could be said of planned parenthood and Layla. Trust me, I really try not to take the fundy right-wing attitude about it, I have perhaps some center-right leanings - more social liberal than social conservative. Still, I mainly posted this because 1) I know its a hot topic that no one else would have touched without the possible accusation of spreading right-wing hate fodder (probably a very good sign that it didn't happen - means people are looking at it as a story with two sides), 2). Its still important to note - like you said - the kinds of breakdowns that can occur in situations like this. ACORN is already dealing with inner city communities, they probably thought that they were being altruists by trying to at least steer-right what's already incorrigibly off the tracks; then again plenty of people still have a lot to say and a right to say it about bringing in children for 'tricks'. I think even an atheist can see that anything can be rationalized into some really stilted ethics, this is a pretty good example of something that society needs to figure out.

ACORN is being depicted as a new Black Panthers... I'm sure that many out there can't wait until Charles Manson's Helter Skelter comes to pass and they can battle in the streets against these people... this fear of black militancy is being exploited to the hilt, what with this Rev. Wright and Van Jones business... Beck saying that Obama hates whites and plans health care reform as backdoor "slave reparations"... blacks are depicted in culture as legitimising pimping and prostitution, this is just part of being black... and ACORN, the new Black Panthers, are shown seeing this trade as any other... they are gangsters, they are killers, they want to kill wh***y and take his stuff, take back America, take back America, take back America.

regardless of color
regardless of organization
regardless of 'reaching out' to people

...how could they be so @#$ing stupid!?...

Feminists must be rolling in their graves...
..but they're not dead yet!
...when they hear this, it'll kill 'em!...

ACORN has no business getting tax dollars.

Why not? If it performs a function. Blackwater's founder is accused of murdering federal informers and yet he and his racket who get far, far more from the government gets far less criticism, really.

When was he indicted?
