ACORN Response to Corruption Allegations

Yes, Bertha Lewis  (ACORN CEO) states the recently captured unethical, illegal actions, via hidden cameras, was bad. Actions being taken to train and provide in-house revamping for ACORN will take care of those few miscreants.

Well, this is akin to a criminal enterprise issuing a strong statement re a portion of their ops breaking the law and then saying we are going to provide training to avoid such actions in the future. Huh? Seriously?

The questions are there for questioning minds again: Who started? Who grew it? How is it funded? What do they do that inserts it into the community? How do they infiltrate the system to then facilitate any other political/campaign actions? In essence, if they are a criminal enterprise or a subverting influence on our governmental system, then how do they function to infiltrate and influence????? That is the question. Probably seems simple in appearance on a local level, but that may be the slickness of the process that lets it fly under the radar….only the obvious ignorance of the few bringing to the spotlight their existance. 

If ACORN is as aggressive and corrupt as is depicted then some non State Run Media type should pull the foundation from the muck, hose it off and expose it!    

WHERE WAS OBAMA IN THE BEGINNING STAGES? NO, NOT JUST THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THEM IN CHICAGO….BUT BEHIND THE SCENES! I AM SURE LIBERAL JOURNALIST WILL LEAD THE WAY IN DIGGING INTO THIS???? 

ACORN (The Community Organizers Reap Billions ($$$)

Another moment of silence please as the brainwashing continues, but on a grander scale. No one finds this frightening? Oh, I know how the rhetoric will play out soft pedaled as opportunity, advancement…all the usual horseshit for greater Nanny-Big Brother intrusion. And, the thought of ACORN and that bumbling asshole that speaks for them having access to taxpayer dollars is obscene. The msm will be silent. The leftist funded indy films on the good deeds will follow. Under the radar…always under the radar..ala Alinsky. Transformational indeed. Tea Party? Something bigger is in order.   

“The Senate on Friday killed an amendment that would exclude funding for ACORN in Obama’s Youth Brigades bill. The Senate bill will provide “$5.7 billion to aid 250,000 volunteers across the country in the arenas of health care, energy, environment and education.”

My emotions are running the gambit. Obama is incompetent? But, what does that make us? Trusting, foolish, powerless and obviously standing in muck so deep we are not moving to respond. They count on no outrage, no violence, no gatherings that would clash with authority.  On a weekend at night..sneaking the scoundrels into the pantry. Disgusting abuse of power. Americans Wake Up!

Chicago Change Agents & Conspiracy (Coincidences and Agitator Theorists)

I just love this report and it is soooo tempting to float a conspiracy, like all the linkage between these Leftist Community Organizers and Bank Liar Loans and the Regressives covering for this abuse and the sudden collapse right before the election and now a massive, progressive take over of banking and maybe industry. A coincidence I am sure. Just those odd little degrees of intersection that always exist. Hell, if the whack jobs can entertain the 9-11 Truthers and Chem Trails and Cheney-Haliburton mierda, then I can wonder about these oddities.     

Surprise!!!

Alinsky’s “training manual” for community organizers, “Rules for Radicals,” states that community organizers are primarily agitators, who must “Fan the resentments of the people of a community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression – he must search out controversy and issues… An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontentment [sic]…. He knows that values are relative…. Truth to him is relative and changing.” [315]

 

 

 

Note that Alinsky’s work also influenced the creation of the “Cloward-Piven Strategy,” named after Columbia University professors Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their strategy involves taking action to force deliberate failure in society, to foster change toward socialism, by overloading the bureaucracy with impossible demands, lawsuits, holding officials to the extreme letter of the law, etc. The Cloward-Piven method is to push society into an economic collapse, thus forcing a fear and resentment of capitalism, making it easier to usher in socialism. The Cloward-Piven strategy is one of the tactics used by “community organizers” (e.g., storming welfare offices and violently demanding immediate action) to impose intentional strains on the system, and to force the hiring of more government workers than necessary to deal with their ever-increasing demands. [327]

Obama learns from the Alinsky crowd the method for getting people to support radical change they would ordinarily not be willing to accept. “They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future.” Thus, just as it has been the theme of most Democrat Presidential campaigns over the last 30 years, so is it Obama’s: “Everything is terrible and headed in the wrong direction, your lives are in shambles, greedy capitalism is at fault, and you need to trust a bigger government and my plans to solve all your problems.” [192]

 

For three years, Obama is the director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), part of the “Gamaliel Foundation,” another Alinsky-like group which uses “in your face” tactics and threats against banks to obtain more loans to people in poor neighborhoods. Gamaliel’s co-founder and executive director is Gregory Galluzzo, who served as a trainer and mentor during Obama’s community activist days in Chicago. [227,228,337]

ACORN, Race Baiting & Arm Twisting…See What You Get? The Usual Mess

KURTZ NAILS ACORN & OBAMA et al!

The Liberal’s Law of Unintended Consequences 

Militant ACORN
“At the time, however, that 1995 Chicago newspaper article represented something of a triumph for Barack Obama. That same year, as a director at Chicago’s Woods Fund, Obama was successfully pushing for a major expansion of assistance to ACORN, and sending still more money ACORN’s way from his post as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Through both funding and personal-leadership training, Obama supported ACORN. And ACORN, far more than we’ve recognized up to now, had a major role in precipitating the subprime crisis.”

“…ACORN, has no qualms about stating that its members think of themselves as “militants unafraid to confront the powers that be.” “This identity as a uniquely militant organization,” says Swarts, “is reinforced by contentious action.” ACORN protesters will break into private offices, show up at a banker’s home to intimidate his family, or pour protesters into bank lobbies to scare away customers, all in an effort to force a lowering of credit standards for poor and minority customers. According to Swarts, long-term ACORN organizers “tend to see the organization as a solitary vanguard of principled leftists…the only truly radical community organization.”

“Up to now, conventional wisdom on the financial meltdown has relegated ACORN and the CRA to bit parts. The real problem, we’ve been told, lay with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In fact, however, ACORN is at the base of the whole mess. ACORN used CRA and Democratic sympathizers to entangle Fannie and Freddie and the entire financial system in a disastrous disregard of the most basic financial standards. And Barack Obama cut his teeth as an organizer and politician backing up ACORN’s economic madness every step of the way.”

If this is all about race, then let’s say it. Minorities, mostly black, recieved benefits and advantages that they had no right to…period. The muscle of intimidation and Jesse Jackson style arm twisting is wrong. The anger of the Americans right now should be squarely on this decision making. If pushing back at this bullshit makes one racist then we are in trouble as a nation. This was wrong. And, people lacked the courage to call bullshit on this for fear of accusations of racism, ‘political lynchings’ etc. Obama played to this and promoted this along with many others trying to manipulate the system while avoiding common sense standards….social engineering gone amok. This is the Obama Plan…right in front of you.    

William Ayers (Finally. Ed Morrissey and Kurtz, Keep Digging)

Like the woman yelled out yesterday in Scranton, PA…why aren’t all the reporters in Chicago digging into William Ayers, like they are doing in Alaska? Why indeed are they not really digging into Obama and Annenberg and all the associations that beg investigation. Is the MSM so jaded and neutralized that they cannot decipher the radical leftist associations and question compromise and corruption? Time to act on this. Thank you, Mr. Kurtz and Mr. Morrissey!   

‘Stanley Kurtz tried to force the University of Illinois at Chicago to open its records on a publicly-funded project, and for his journalistic effort got called a “smear merchant” and “character assassin” by Barack Obama and his campaign.  They didn’t want reporters snooping through the records of the Chicago Annenberg Project, Obama’s one claim to executive experience — and the years that belie Obama’s characterization of former domestic terrorist William Ayers as nothing more than a neighbor and an acquaintance.  Kurtz discovers a long working relationship between the two on a project designed to spread radical political thought by essentially feeding it to schoolchildren under the guise of educational reform…”

“CAC translated Mr. Ayers’s radicalism into practice. Instead of funding schools directly, it required schools to affiliate with “external partners,” which actually got the money. Proposals from groups focused on math/science achievement were turned down. Instead CAC disbursed money through various far-left community organizers, such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (or Acorn).”

Obama’s ACORN (More Chicago Leftist Grab Ass~Maybe The Public’s Beginning To Notice)

ACORN

“Anyway, we forge ahead. Hoping the truth will get out there. Hoping that people will change their minds about Obama and his radical Chicago-based racket of election saboteurs and anti-free market thugs. Hoping that someone else in the MSM will start asking pointed questions about the $800,000 Obama failed to report in hidden payments to ACORN under the name of a left-wing non-profit front group.”  http://michellemalkin.com/2008/09/15/acorn-watch-the-community-organizing-fraud-continues/

Michelle Malkin is on this. Read her site for the initial take on the funding of this voter’s registration fraud scheme. I will reiterate, yet again, this corruption has to stick to Obama. The ramifications of ACORN, ACA etc (The etc. is the corrupt Chicago political process with Radical Leftist mold growing in the cracks). Thanks to Michelle Malkin for her tireless efforts at exposing the hypocrisy, win at any price leftist machine.

“Alinsky considered himself a realist above all, the ultimate pragmatist.” (American Thinker, Aug. 30, 2008). “As a confirmed atheist, Alinsky believed that the here and now is all there is, and therefore had no qualms about assorted versions of morality in the pursuit of worldly power. He didn’t coddle his radical acolytes or encourage their bourgeois distinctions between good and evil when it came to transferring power from the Haves to the Have Nots. Alinsky saw the already formed church communities as being the perfect springboards for agitation and creating bonds for demanding goods and services.”
