Thread Name: BS: Spread the Truth About ACORN
Subject: RE: BS: Spread the Truth About ACORN
"So am I being accused of having said that the ACORN workers in the video did nothing wrong or not?"

I don't see where you have been accused of anything but prejudging the undercover people while demanding that ACORN should not be prejudged and that matters.


There are thousands of organizations that do what ACORN claims it does. They go about their business quietly and correctly without causing a controversy. Acorn is making the good organizations look bad.

I think ACORN blows it's own horn about how great it is, covers up it's own corruption even front it's own board, collects dues from it's poor members and shakes down businesses for protection money like the Mafia. All they want is more and more money. Then they play an Enron style shell game with the money through their 300+ entities. If ACORN is so benign, why won't Bertha open the books?

Take that money being given to ACORN and give it to reputable organizations that do it right. Then more of it will actually benefit the poor.
