It Is Hard Out There For A (ACORN) Pimp…**UPDATED**

Stay tuned for the House vote on freezing HUD funds to ACORN. We’ll see if they do what’s right, or what’s political.

Frau Nancy will be all over making sure they don’t do anything for the wrong reasons… i.e. the right reason. Then again trying to keep a coalition between the two parties… new democrat and democrat may turn out to be her Eastern front. The battle may ultimately be lost to attrition. We can only hope pray.

Beck said a fourth video from California is coming out tonight, this should be interesting. I am blown away by the fact that the MSM has yet to cover any of this. WTF!

A great start.

Acorn also gets stimulus funds, and there may be other sources of government funding.

WE’ve a ways to go, house must pass bill. Bill must be signed AND implemented. WE’ll see how it shakes out in the end.

Considering it is ACORN that is responsible for the caucus fraud that took the rightful nomination away from Hillary…can I just say…HURRAH!!!!

THE LAW OF KARMA IN ACTION!

So good to see these bad people going down!

I know that it’s probably a pipe dream, but I hope to see the total destruction of ACORN.

Right there with ya. This is such a corrupt organization, that it easily negates the good work it does.

We are trying and that is part of it; the public being aware, and screaming about it. One would think with all the news of young woman and children being abducted and either murdered, held in sexual slavery or abused and lost into the ugly world of prostitution, this would really matter to those on Capitol Hill; they better get this done or we may have cause to issue an “ACORN” alert,(meaning no disrespect to the name of the current system in place- the “Amber” Alert). Rather a very real jab at those who would condone this behavior by silence or complicity.

The good works are just a trojan horse to carry the water for the rest of the activities. The Red Cross they aren’t.

Excellent question, Aaron. Where are they indeed?

And Hillary or Bust, you said it!

Will Obama issue an Executive Order nullifying a congressional vote to cut off funds for Acorn?
Can he do that?
What would be the repercussions if he tried it?
Does this Congress have the backbone to overide a veto?
What can the American people do if he tries this stunt?
I think we need to be prepared against the possibility of the above.

True that, Docelder. As I have said, the problems with ACORN are systemic – no doubt abt it. There may be some people who think they are doing good work, and who are unaware of the more unsavory side of ACORN. At least I sure hope so…

Can he do that?

He could ask ACORN’s lawyer… wait, he was ACORN’s lawyer.

No one needs to be paid to go out and register voters. There is a post office in every neighborhood. If you are too stupid or lazy to go sign up, then, too bad.

Additionally, any realtor or banker can assist someone looking for assistance with housing. No need for paid personnel and overhead.

I used to work in the tobbacco area in a drug store while going to college. I was in a poor part of town. People came in to buy their prescriptions and some food items with food stamps. Then, some would proceed to the caged area to purchase alcohol with cash. Next stop, my area for cigars,cigarettes, poker chips, dice, playing cards and sometimes, candy bars for the kids all paid for with cash.

If you can navigate your way through these mazed areas in the store, you can find the post office and a realtor.

Enough with the wasted money for thieves.

Spend the money to improve the schools and neighborhoods. Open a grocery store, bowling alley, skating rink, movie theatres ………………. things that open the opportunity for work and appropriate behavior.

The good work is just a smoke screen and a way to rally well meaning individuals. The heart of ACORN is, and always has been, a corrupt cash cow for the Rathkes and their buddies, and they in turn supply strong arm influence in the political realm to ensure the elections of radical leftists.

For instance, Dale Rathke (brother of Wade Rathke, founder of ACORN) embezzeled one million dollars from the ACORN coffers. Drummond Pike, the wealthy leftist activist that is the founder and president of the Tides foundation, (a money laundering outfit for all sorts of extremely leftist groups) repaid the money to ACORN so that Rathke was never charged with the crime, and Rathke essentially kept the money. Sweet! It is quite simply a way for a wealthy man to indirectly put $1,000,000 in his buddy’s pocket and write it off as a donation to ACORN.

I wrote this yesterday on another site.
Isn’t funny how when this was made public Congress finally got a spine.
For the seven who stood by ACORN
Remember in November.

If the msm had done their job just how much damage to the country by these people could have been stopped?

If the msm had done their job just how much money would taxpayers have saved?

It took two young people with courage and idealism and love of country to do what so-called journalist refused to do. I hope these two young people have a wonderful future. If that twit in Maryland goes through with prosecuting them I will contribute to a fund for their defense.

Obama needs to man up… thank these two for the risk they took and for their service and grant them a Presidential pardon.

Fox News needs to put them on the payroll as soon as ethically possible.

It was sickening this morning on Joe as they tried to pretend it was nothin’ about nothin’!

CAROL HAKA

Isn’t one of the Radthke brothers connected to SEIU? I’m pretty sure I heard Glenn Beck say that the other day when these videos surfaced. That would explain a lot, too, wouldn’t it? (You may recall that SEIU held CA over a barrel when they were trying to deal with their deficit recently. SEIU refused to have their funds cut at ALL, and got Obama to say CA wouldn’t get federal funds if SEIU had to pay anything. Good to have a friend in the WH, I guess!)

No to answer my own question or anything, but Wade Rathke FOUNDED SEIU. Wowie zowie. That makes so much sense to me now…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wade_Rathke

I would be very surprised if Obama did that. I wonder if ACORN will soon be thrown under the bus by Obama. “He really didn’t know them that well when he was in their employ as a community organizer”….I just emailed my two IL senators, Durbin and Burris, to let them know they work for the people of Illinois and the American people, and not directly for Obama, as they voted against stopping funding to ACORN. I am sure I will not hear from either one of them very soon.

In an odd twist, if Maryland tries to prosecute the two undercover filmmakers, then the media will have to cover it. But maybe after today, they will have to cover it anyway.

I know. Did you hear the silence after Barnicle made his comment (paraphrasing) that if some reporters were good, they’d do some research and see how many home foreclosures occured that had home loans handled/originated by ACORN. He thought the number would be pretty high.

Wow, Mike Barnicle made a point that wasn’t complimentary to ACORN and pretty much reinforced that they were giving loans to people who weren’t qualified and ultimately defaulated! Joe, Mika, Arianna Huffington (gag) just sat in stunned silence for about 2 seconds it seemed before moving on.

It is quite a tangle of associations, but an understanding of this network is absolutely necessary if you don’t want to be confused about the policies and motives of the Obama administration in particular, and the progressive/Fascist movement in general.

ok I am giggling hearing that song w/OUT even reading this so far!! ur crazy! LOLOL That’s why I love coming here! Some of the HEADLINES! W00T!! lol

Good work Amy!
I, too, commend this brave,young couple!
I am glad the Senate took action, and hope the House follows suit.
However, I smell a middle of the night ear mark coming!
Do not, for one moment, under-estimate the importance of ACORN to Obama and the democrats?

Oh geez, this is what BigGovernment is reporting:

“Last week, we saw some pretty disturbing activities revealed in the undercover footage from ACORN Housing’s Baltimore office. By any measure of conduct, the actions of ACORN’s employees should never have happened. It turns out the actions shouldn’t have happened for another, very simple, reason: ACORN can’t legally operate in the state of Maryland.

According to the following documents, ACORN, Inc.–the parent organization of all things ACORN–forfeited its corporate charter in Maryland in 2006. ACORN Housing forfeited its corporate charter in 2008. Any ACORN office in the state of Maryland is potentially operating illegally.

The Maryland Attorney General has made noise about prosecuting the intrepid journalists who undercovered the misdeeds of ACORN employees. Perhaps he should focus instead on how ACORN was able to operate without a license in his state.”

Karma is certainly a biotch!! PUMA W00T! and a HAIL YES to GLENN!! Love ya Man!

God, he is on television again, speechifying, campaigning that is; getting his supporters, “fired up”. Horke

I had to change the channel after a couple of minutes of the bs.

I can’t take it anymore.

CAROL HAKA

The only thing Obama is going to fire up is his ciggies.

He looks like shit.

You sound surprised! I’m not, I’ve been aware for some time of the huge web of graft and corruption that links ALL of the players, from Obama to the ladies in the Baltimore ACORN office, to a broad criminal network that is operating just below the surface. If you are curious why the MSM hasn’t been more vigorous in exposing it, it’s because THEY’RE PART OF IT!

James O’Keefe and Hanna Giles (American heroes of the first order)just knocked a small chip off the tip of the iceberg. They have single handedly exposed a story that the MSM has intentionally turned a blind eye toward. Until now, anyone attempting to explain this permeating nightmare, and anyone sounding the alarm bell, have been classified as conspiracy kooks, or worse; the reality of this situation is so unbelievable, it’s been difficult to explain with credibility. But as millions of people stared at these ACORN videos with jaw dropping, stunned amazement and outrage, the door has been opened to let the rest of the truth in.

Good news tango!
The attorney, by the way, is a black woman.
I also heard that the N.Y. office will be investigated by the fraud division, which handles mafia cases. Hope that’s true!

Instead of referring to it as the MSM, how about the MM (Marxist Media), lol…its really NOT “mainstream.”

This calls for RICO.

He has a good idea about changing the law to be able to tape anyone paid with public money.
Normally I would be against it but in today’s world it is the only way truth will come out.

You’re right. Last night I heard the rather plausible argument that the MSM is not at all mainstream,(I think it might have been Andrew Brietbart). Elitist Media, or the Propaganda Arm of the New Democratic Elitist Regime (PANDER), would be more accurate names.

That is HUGE, if it’s accurate (and I have no reason to think otherwise). Holy smokes!

Tammy, I suspect you’re right, though I’m no attorney. Wouldn’t that be something?

The attorney is not a “he”, it’s a “she”, and she’s an avowed Obama supporter. On one of the prvious NQ threads about ACORN there is a clip of her gushing about the Chosen One.

Isn’t amazing what two young people with courage started.
Talk about ripples in a pond.
Or pulling a string to unravel a sweater.
These two give me hope for the future of this country which I had pretty much lost.

to both of these people

YOU DID GOOD KIDS. THANK YOU .

Another time, another place someone wrote about young people just like these two:

Hold high thy brow serene
O youth where now you stand
Let brightly shine thy grace Divine
Fair hope of thy motherland!

I have a faith that Divine Providence will always show its hand
at the right time, in the right place.

For your viewing pleasure. Todays video is supposed to be from California, due to be released at 4pm. Grab your popcorn and find a good chair.

The I.R.S. should conduct a full audit of the organization and all its affiliates.

Worst Acorn video yet

If you didn’t think ACORN could get any worse after several of their employees (in multiple locations) tried to help a prostitute buy a house, lie to the IRS and run a brothel with underage hookers from El Salvador…you were wrong. It gets much worse. In today’s tapes, this ACORN employee gives away the farm — she names names of politicians she talks to each day, plus what bills they are lobbying heavily for (with taxpayer money). Oh, this Acorn employee is also a former hooker herself, who (in this audio tape) admits to killing her abusive husband. Your tax dollars hard at work!

I`m betting Boxer is one of them.

I just e-mailed my PA Senator also, but he never gets back to me. It was only when I worked for his campaign and made donations to the campaign that I would hear from him(always for more money) What a diappointment he has become. And, Senator Casey, in case you are reading the blog, save your money on the Christmas card and the postage. I won’t be reading it or proudly d isplaying it this year!

getting the popcorn ready this is gonna be good

Did you see this Amy?

ACORN Operating Illegally in Maryland

http://www.redstate.com/redhot/

http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/15/exclusive-acorn-illegally-operating-in-maryland/

You are correct, OA – Big Government should know that. Perhaps it was just a typo. And yes, she was threatening the two who exposed ACORN in MD. I just meant that if they are operating illegally, that adds a whole other level to all of this. AND, if they are not properly licensed, how are they receiving fed. funds?

I find it astonishing that two young people who are not professional journalists did this while the mainstream journalists ignored the story.

If there was ever any proof that journalism – particularly Jack Anderson type investigative reporting – is dead, this is it.

Dan Rather-not is fretting over the death of newspapers. If he wants to know why people are not inclined to buy newspapers (and therefore advertisers not buy ad space there) then this story is the answer.

This ACORN story is much larger than what these two kids uncovered and goes right to the Oval Office.

Who did Obama meet with and promise would be immediately brought to the White House to help write his agenda. Want a smoking gun?:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vJcVgJhNaU

For real?? Dang…That should be mighty interesting!

They have already changed their name. Do not remember what they changed to, but it has already been started. I think Beck knows it and knows what it is too.

Did we know this? IRS has been sending people to ACORN for free tax preperation. hmmmmmm Below is a scanned copy of a letter from some members of Congress to IRS.

http://biggovernment.com/2009/09/15/reps-boehner-cantor-camp-to-irs-sever-acorn-ties-now/

Glenn sure knows how to build up that suspense, huh? He’s one of the good guys. Had me dying for more at the end of his show yesterday. Glenn will end up being one of the refounders without even realizing he is!

Sorry for posting this at the end of the que.

Pelosi maybe, too?

If I remember right ACORN had been reported in Maryland before this and the powers that are were be didn’t do a thang about it. Nada.

LMAO at your title! haha This story just keeps GROWING. And the thing that kills me is how LONG have we been worried about ACORN???

The media failed SO miserably on this story.

Did you catch that ACORN in DC who said she was a Realtor and was handing them her card to help them buy that house? Wonder what the Real Estate Com for DC would say? Pretty sure I heard her say that and hold up a card.

Check out all those foundations on PBS. Also how much of PBS connects to Chicago.
Many of the foundations lead to TIDES as does ole botox the tuna queeen.

Is this to be on Glenn Beck? HARP, are you on the West Coast?

You are absolutely right abt the MSM failing on this, AGII – they sure did. They STILL are.

You can thank LJ for the title – he came up with it!

She not only admits to killing her husband, she admits to setting up the premise that she shot him in self defense. She claims to have intentionally gone to abused women shelters and called 911 to establish that her husband was abusive. She claimed to have shot him dead, not because he was abusing her at the time, but because she KNEW he was GOING to, after she said “F you” to the guy. I was saddened to hear about the abrupt ending to their marriage, they seemed to deserve each other.

As bad as abusive men can be, they can be helped, unless they’ve been shot dead. Jeez, just get a divorce lady. But, planning, setting up, and carrying out a justifiable homicide might just be a nice example of self-motivation, and it might look good on a resume submitted to ACORN.

Biggovernment.com is going to release it at 4:00 Eastern time, Beck has claimed that he’ll feature it on his 5:00 show. Beck played snippets on his radio show this AM.

I’ve got some popcorn and a cherry Coke. This is better than the Superbowl.

NO PROBLEM , MORE INFO IS A GOOD THING.

We need to start researching and promoting conservative people in all states of any party. Then we can donate to them the same way that we did for Joe Wilson. I think that the cut off is between 1 to 2 million for campains. If there is enough of us even small donations will work. 48 hours got Joe Wilson around a million. We can do it YES we will.

Here are 3 that RedState mentions. I want Charlie Crist out of Florida and not in DC either.

One person who has great gut instincts of conservatives sent me a link to a YouTube of Ryan Frazier. Hmmm . . . Frazier, Rubio, Williams . . . ironic if these three got elected we might see the most conservative Republican caucus to exist in a long while and it’d be the two black men and the hispanic guy pushing the GOP to the right.

http://www.redstate.com/erick/2009/09/15/ryan-frazier-of-colorado/

Not only will the lamestream media have to report it but ACORN will be subject to full disclosure which I’m sure they don’t want.

GLENN BECK, IS SAYING HE HAS A EXCLUSIVE ON HIS SHOW REGARDING ACORN?

Same here……….nothing from Casey unless he wants money. Disappointment for sure, also disgusting.

Obama will need Acorn in 2012 to do his dirty work trying to get reelected. Interesting to watch what he will do about this.

Andrew Breitbart Tells Hannity ACORN Video Coming Out Today Is “Devastating” –

http://countusout.wordpress.com/

MM-that’s perfect.

Glenn Beck just wrapped up what had to be the most compelling radio I’ve heard… and lately, most of his shows have been pretty compelling.

Whew, where to start? Well, how about this: you should make it a point to do two things today: watch his TV show at 5 ET this afternoon on Fox News, and hit the Big Government website an hour earlier at 4 ET.

Here’s what you’ll find – the latest video sting of ACORN. This one in a San Bernardino ACORN office where the employee can’t talk fast enough about the connections they have to politicians (naming them by name) and even an admission of murder.

Scott Baker of Breitbart TV’s The B-Cast was on during Glenn’s final segment, connecting the dots between POTUS advisor Valerie Jarrett and Obama’s past,

http://www.floppingaces.net/

Breitbart, Beck,O’keefe and Giles–the NEW media, the true heroes.

I have just seen the latest video on Glenn Beck UN”F”ING BELIEVABLE It’s from the California .Acorn this time., These young reporters are amazing to be able to get this on tape, Good job to these young reporters and Glenn Beck

FOUND IT ACORN TAPE

FYI, I am just awaiting the Certification of Nomination documents from MD so that I can draft and post the Complaint of Election Fraud with the AG. (I have already posted the TX and HI complaints.) http://jbjd.wordpress.com

jbjd,

Thank you for the update. I know you have worked hard and for quite some time on this. How long before you get the Certification of Nomination documents?

I hear from Senator Kerry, months later and with the wrong answer.

The MD state AG is a he; the state’s attorney of Baltimore County is a she.

Onofre. What is so exasperating to me is that these Acorn people with their schemes to get houses for any and everyone whether they could pay or not are the prime reason for the tanking of the economy. They perpetuated mortgage fraud in which they earned money for themselves. We had to pay for the bailouts of the financial institutions. We will still have to pay more in the future . NO ONE SEEMS TO MAKE THE CONNECTION. THE “PIMP” AND “PROSTITUTE” CAME TO THEM TO GET A MORTGAGE FOR A HOUSE!!!!!!!!WAKE UP PEOPLE AND GET THE CONNECTION BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

As I have said no one seems to get the connection that these are the people who were most responsible for the bottom falling out of the economy and people losing more than half of their 401Ks and other financial value. They caused this by the housing crisis through false lending to any and everyone whether they could pay or not. they got a cut of the action. WAKE UP. THE REASON THE “PIMP & PROSTITUTE CAME TO THEM WAS FOR THEM TO FRAUDENTLY HELP THEM GET FINANCING FOR A HOUSE!!

jbjd, thank you for all your hard work on this. I read your site regularly and truly appreciate what you’re doing.

Oregon NOW has a statement about ACORN on its web page. http://www.oregonnow.org

Actually Wisewoman, I made that very point several ACORN threads back. Our abyssmal economy is intricately linked to the kind of mischief conducted by corrupt entities like ACORN. I also wondered how much the defaulting of the countless houses that were illegally acquired with ACORN help, contributed to the collapse of Fannie, Freddie, and AIG. The collapse that was started in these entities dragged the rest of our economy down in a cascading effect. Institutional deceit, fraud, and corruption can have a powerful impact when magnified through a nationwide network like ACORN.
