Video: Greasy ACORN spokesman greasier than ever

This line of defense from Levenson doesn’t pass the snicker test. These may have all been grunt workers, but they do not deal with these issues with such openness if there is any amount of oversight in their organization. They’re clearly structured to inflict chaos on our inner cities. If there was any type of oversight in senior management then you would not have people that were so eager to deal with this situation. They would be interested in CYA, and there is not any way that people would be so accepting of sex trafficking in front of each other. Even if an individual had no personal morals about it, how could they be so sure that their co-worker would be so accepting of it as well.

No, you can see the way these people behaved (in 3 different cities….so far), and see that this is what they do. This is who they are.

It is not possible for ACORN to have done enough good to compensate for putting criminals in the neighborhoods of America with taxpayer money. Drug lords… Prostitution… etc. You can’t do anything to make this a good thing.

ACORN helped collapse the world economy for pete’s sake.

I think that last sentence is where the long term traction is going to come from. The lack of any morals is what gets the attention first – 80-90% of Americans can’t imagine a world where people are so willing to comply with sex traffickers. And I don’t want to downplay that, because it is revolting.

But even if you are able to put the moral objections aside, you are still left with a worldwide crisis where there is bad debt floating throughout financial institutions around the globe. You’ve got politicians who have created the incentives for this and operated on a wink-wink, nod-nod basis for years and years. And at the ground level of that you have ACORN, who is gaming the system to get people like this in homes throughout the country. These are the organizations that played the biggest role in this. It’s been brought up for years, but it just never really took root with the common American.

Most have just been willing to accept that it is simply a lack of “regulation” that brought us to this sorry state. That’s a convenient talking point for politicians to float out there, but the reality is their hands are all over this crisis. These tapes will provide the best opportunity to revisit that, once the smoke clears.
