1. Do you think that might have something to do with the WAR on ACORN....

[glowing]

2. Exactly. those kids worked for some special interest. which means insider money.

ACORN is a long founded agency that helps poor people navigate the system. Its the reason for attacking their advocacy for democracy. Yeah, some people within any system or company or organization may be corrupt or wrong in the head, but for the most part, working or vollunteering for a non-profit group such as ACORN used to be a noble thing. Faux and the pukes have made the entire organization toxic. ACORN needs to do the blackwater/ XE thing and change their name when some of the hullabaloo dies down.

3. I know

Its fucked up. You can have an organization which helps thousands of people for years, but you have "one" employee make "one" mistake and suddenly its a criminal organization.

4. And the tapes were heavily edited. If we could see the actual full length version,

then we may have a better grasp of what was really going on. I wouldn't for a second believe either of these idiots walking into my office asking me those types of questions. They just aren't believable and if you were bringing in sex slaves, the last thing you would do is notify a non-profit org. like that. A real pimp/ prostitute would avoid those places like the plague. Those workers must have thought some t.v. crew was going to pop out of the wood work and say "smile, your on candid camera"

7. That's the difference between real journalism and gotcha political games

You never get even a glimpse of the real story.

[Cant trust em]

5. Other non-profits will have increased workload

I work for a homeownership counseling organization, but we're already at our capacity.

6. If I knew anything about it, I'd volunteer to help

And, oh by the way, FUCK Bank of America.

[Cant trust em]

19. Find some organization and do their admin work

Everyone's got data entry to do and stuff to file. This would free them up to see more clients.

8. Seems like the freepers massively unrecommended this.

I think we're still in the 24-hour limit. Can people help?

9. kick(nt)

[winyanstaz]

10. yes, the war on acorn is really a war on the poor.

[NoSheep]

15. Poor voters.

[Freddie Stubbs]

11. Probably the same way that suburban and rural folks do

[PA Democrat]

12. K & R.

ACORN had been trying to go after predatory lenders long before the mortgage meltdown.

[sandnsea]

13. Why did anyone unrecommend this?

I don't get it.

[Nikki Stone1]

16. Freepers.

The only explanation.

[Iggo]

18. Well, that's not precisely true.

I unrec'd it because you were begging for recs.

It's my way.


EDIT: I do recommend the video, though.

[Nikki Stone1]

20. So you let your prejudice and childish feelings stand in the way of an important issue?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a weenie.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[Iggo]

21. I quit.

[Iggo]

22. You win.

[Mojorabbit]

14. I sent BoA and email

calling them out for essentially punishing the poorest of the poor for a few bad apples in an otherwise wonderful organization.

[Horse with no Name]

17. K&R n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

23. Rachel did a great report on ACORN tonight. The next target is SEIU

Fucking rethugs. They are spending all their time whining and destroying and no time trying to build anything.

[NoSheep]

24. She did indeed. Mentioned the connection between those fired

in the Justice Dept. during Bush 2 and the reason why....they wouldn't comply with demands that they go after ACORN.

[Nikki Stone1]

25. She definitely showed how the ACORN thing was a longstanding vendetta

Something needs to be done to rehabilitate them.
