From ACORN website – 25 Year History (2000)
NEW THREATS – In November, 1994, the resurgence of the Republican Party in Congress dramatically changed the political picture for ACORN. It posed new threats to long-standing ACORN campaigns and meant a loss of support for ACORN initiatives. It was not, however, anything ACORN had not seen before. From its beginning, ACORN had fought against politicians who resisted their ideas and their work to build power for low- and moderate-income people. The history of ACORN shows it is stronger than ever and better prepared for the continued struggle.

My apologies to the word smarm and Mr. Webster, I’m sorry but you have upstaged!!.

That’s it in a nutshell. ;)

You need a picture ID,and you should be on the list!

You vote,your name gets scratched off,just like
in our province,not on the list,you ain’t votin!

And,you put your X on the paper,no hanging chads,
locked steel boxes,real safe and legal like!!

The good ole fashioned way,and no electonic voting
either!

And Liberals would snap at this idea,no kidding!

I’d add one more thing to your list: the locked boxes are under guard/protection/observation of an armed, uniformed law enforcement officer who has had a background investigation. Remember, some people are not above stealing.
Of course, I know that wouldnt work very well in Chicago.

And as for

Couldn’t ACORN find someone human to do the chat circuit?

Good question, because here’s the non-human he constantly reminded me of while watching him, and he deserved an a$$-whoopin’, too. Except that Levenson looks like the kid who probably got picked on at recess almost daily, not one who would end up with a prize such as this.

studiously indifferent

…reminds me of someone….

Yeah, buddy, it’s easy to break voter registration records when you’re registering the same people 50 times.

I’m sorry but that guy looks retarded.

Corona–I’m sorry, but you owe retarded people a BIG apology…

It isn’t until the end she realizes what she’s confessing and she said, “Oh, I got ta go!” Pretty funny.

Spokesman: ‘ACORN Practices Are American as Apple Pie’; Worker Caught on Tape Saying She Registers People for Obama

From the lectern filters down this ‘hate America’ moral equivalence crap that manifests itself in the Daily Kuss; Huffypoo; Democracy now; People For the American Way; Open Society Institute; ACORN; the NEA (yes, that nea); and any dozens of other socially & politically liberal organizations who hold the supreme decider to be pure mob rule – 100% democratic force of humanity.
We currently have a Republic – if we can hold onto it – but the masses seem h3ll bent on tearing it down & complacent enough to let it happen.
I blame gub’mint schools. Literally. ‘God & Man at Yale is now the NEA in your kid’s local gub’mint school. Your tax dollars at work.
ACORN just doesn’t matter to the average voter. And the polls show it.

You have the situation spelled out well.

I am a retired public-school teacher, and I cannot tell you how many of those Lefty organizations flooded by school and home mail box with their propaganda during my career. I am certain that NEA was the conduit for all of them.

My guess is that they were “excited” by the bribe they were offered by the clown that registered them.
