ACORN audit already a joke

Rocked by a continuing stream of scandals, ACORN is trying to pass them off as the “indefensible” acts of a few employees, but promised an “independent review.”
Who will conduct the “independent review?” Round up the usual suspects:

The Council includes many prominent Democrats, including the man who helped President Obama Transition Team, John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress; former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend; Andrew Stern, International President of the Service Employees International Union; and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros.

Cisneros, who worked regularly with ACORN as HUD Secretary, would later plead guilty to lying to the FBI to cover up a political embarrassment. Perfect choice. Townsend is so inependent that she called the stories of ACORN’s frequent involvement in voter fraud a “desperate smokescreen maneuver” masking an extensive coast-to-coast GOP push to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters in 2008. No bias there. Stern heads SEIU, which has a very cozy relationship with ACORN. How cozy? ACORN controls or significantly dominates several SEIU chapters. And Stern hand-picked ACORN’s Wade Rathke to direct SEIU’s nationwide organizing projects. He could not be more independent. And Podesta runs the Soros-funded Center for American Progress, which has been coordinating the public defense of ACORN this summer. He might be even more independent than Andy Stern.

Glad to see that ACORN is taking this all so seriously.

Is ACORN a terrorist

Submitted by Greg Butko on Fri, 09/18/2009 - 17:30.

Is ACORN a terrorist organization? I don't know, but I think we need an independent investigation of this organization. By independent, I mean that it has to be conducted by individuals NOT affiliated with what is going on in DC.

I think that perhaps a grand jury created by one of the states can best get to the truth. We need to start looking at state and county grand juries to get to the truth that politicians at the national level are working to conceal.

The 2 bills, one in the House, and one in the Senate are frauds. They are not going to defund Acorn. Just another smokle screen to appease the masses.

Why didn't Ron Paul vote on the amendment to defund ACORN?

It was attached to a bill

It was attached to a bill that effectively completes the nationalization of the student loan business. That could have had something to do with it. Or maybe he just wasn't available at the time. His vote was not needed. The amendment passed by a huge majority.

just because it was attached to a bill he does not agree with doesn't mean he can't vote on the amendment based on its own merits. it's just like the fact that he obtains earmark funding allocation for his constituents despite voting against the earmark.

It's all one bill. He couldn't vote half "yes" and half "no."

Can anyone answer or explain this?

Wonderful catch!

The comments section was worth the read too... my favorite:

I would love it if someone, anyone, would ask what type of community organizer BO was: the trafficing in little girls kind, tax evasion kind, or outsourcing cathouse kind. I still don’t really know what kind he was.
