Acorn Gets Caught Again             Go to Top


Quentin Tarantino recently released a movie called Inglorious Basterds (name changed from that other word).

Perhaps Acorn should be called Deceitful Basterds.

Background: The kids who made the other Acorn videos held this one back until today. They first gave Acorn enough time to hang themselves.

Now some will say, oh, just more evidence of the old lies. But no, it is worse than that. By holding back this tape, Acorn had time to investigate and having done so, made subsequent claims that are clearly false. These are set out in the video.

For example, Acorn said that they were thrown out of the Philidalphia office after creating a major disturbance. The staff member gave evidence that she through them out. They said they were never told the girl was a prostititute, etc., etc., etc.

Oooops

Check it all out in this just released video:

Now note that the comments made by the Acorn workers have been temporarily silenced due to the lawsuits in MD. The kids are asking for permission to publish the unedited tape.

And now, for the California team (and Jerry Brown, former 2 time governor, current Attorney General, and ex of some singer chick I can't remember her name but she sang "Blue Bayou" or something like that) is considered to be the front runner for the Dems in the next gubanatorial race):

As I have said before, ACORN is the gift that just keeps giving. This time their San Diego office has decided to clean house and dispose of a number of documents. Unfortunately for ACORN, they tossed them into a dumpster and the documents have turned up in the hands of other folks.

Can you ooooops:

And it turns out the documents included some with personal credit information. Apparently ACORN broke the law by not disposing of those documents in an acceptable manner:

Here's the law that they broke:

In Brief: The Financial Privacy Requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

I can't wait to hear ACORN's excuse. "Well we just didn't have the money to pay for the shredding because the Federal government cut back their funding. It's all the fault of the Republicans."

And on a note related to the Federal money that goes to ACORN, turns out some of that is used by ACORN to fund abortions:

I don't particularly like my tax dollars being given to an agency that kills babies in addition to participates in wide spread voter fraud and providing assistance to people in the commission of crimes.

Other than that, I am sure ACORN means well.

"Basterds" is far too nice of a term for these Cloward-Piven-Rathke-Alinskyites. Disgusting.

Now, for the methodology:
