I've been playing too much Champions and its acronyms, and all I kept thinking that ACORN is some insideous supervillain organisation with matching attire.

ACORN goes something like this.

The way I'm interpreting them to be via Wikipedia is non-union-union social vigilantes, fighting for the social right of low-to-middle-class people.

And basically the link that the Major gave us is a bunch of paranoid junk, written by conspiracy theorists who are suspicious of anyone helping anyone else, no matter the reason, cause, or politics therein.

He seems to like that kind of thing, now doesn't he?

[Edit] More on the guy who's site it's on. Doing a quick google.ca search, it looks like a lot of people respect him.

Personally, I didn't like his writing style. It was incredibly biased...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he apparently has ties to Fox. There goes any ounce of credibility this guy ever had...

except it was recorded on video. and ACORN has been caught doing underhanded and very illegal things like voter registration fraud and breaking into foreclosed homes.

they were also the ones who were supposed to be doing the census.

on a related note; the two ACORN workers have been fired and some lawyer is pressing charges on the people who brought attention to the corruption.

Also, US Census has cut ties with ACORN
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9...&show_article=1


here's what I have a problem with; it isn't ACORN or democrats or any of that statist dickwaving. it's that two women who are effectively government employees were willing to help someone set up a BROTHEL with FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRLS, even talking about how they could get tax credits for the children they pimp out.

I don't know about the relevant laws in the UK, but over here that's a federal crime.

18 U.S.C. § 1591 makes it illegal to recruit, entice, obtain, provide, move or harbor a person or to benefit from such activities knowing that the person will be caused to engage in commercial sex acts where the person is under 18 or where force, fraud or coercion exists.

let me just say this again; these two -effectively- government employees were willing to assist someone in committing a FEDERAL CRIME.

there's no such thing as journalistic integrity anymore in western media. FOX and talk radio tote the line of the right while CNN, MSNBC, and whoever the fuck else totes the line of the left. they report more on what the other side's news agencies report more than the actual news and go as far as to even call each other names. every time i turn on the TV I half expect to hear some greased up talking head call his opposite number a "stupid poo-poo head." it's at the point I can't even change the channel without wanting to follow Elvis Presley's example and put a bullet through the damned contraption!

the only news agency that I have seen that is even remotely unbiased is Al Jazeera, believe it or not.

This is where I gracefully exit from the conversation. This is going to turn into a political flame-war soon, and I don't want any of the backlash.

I gave some background info, and a couple of things that I discovered on a VERY QUICK search.

I'm just going to say that the politics and the news in all of North America is twisted, biased, uncaring, unfeeling, sensationalistic, greed-based and that no one really cares about anything, because everyone is backstabbing the other, all for the sake of personal political and monetary gain.

Corruption is everywhere, and nothing is untouched. Why do people think that I'm so jaded, cynical, and apathetic towards journalism, religion and politics? I believe nothing of what I hear or see. It's all been doctored either through video editing, or carefully chosen words to pacify the sheep that will believe anything that they see or read.

Oops, the war isn't going well; tell them we're doing alright, or fill it with fluff about Jennifer Aniston. Oh hey! The war is going well! Let's show them pictures of devistated citys, towns and people!

This is just my perspective on it. It's one in how many billion? So it doesn't totally count. I'm just saying it as *I* see it. And it's not pretty.

I don't get all the craziness over ACORN. It's a small voter outreach organisation. Nobody outside of insane conspiracy theorists gives a damn.

you don't need to be a truther or birther or believe JFK was murdered by Elvis's twin brother on behalf of Lord Xenu to be pissed off at an organization that claims to be nonprofit yet receives funding from the government, and whose employees routinely break the law and act like they're somehow good people for it.

they say that these are all isolated incidents, and I have no reason to not believe them. it requires far less assumption to believe that the people who work for ACORN are drawn from very dishonest populations that you most commonly see in large American cities, and that these employees merely brought their corruption to the organization.

although the fact that ACORN does little to curtail the abuses and criminal behavior of their employees is suspicious, to say the least.

VERY tempted to just close this.

...what's wrong with a nonprofit organisation receiving government funding? That doesn't change the fact that they're not out for profit. Or do people actually believe that government programs that don't bring a profit should be shut down? In that case, better shut down the military, the police, the post office, Medicare...

nothing; it's that employees of this nonprofit organization routinely break federal law that I have a problem with.

ACORN has admitted to 400,000 admitted acts of voter registration fraud during the recent election.

members of ACORN have begun breaking into foreclosed homes.

and then this whole business with the certain employees advising tax fraud for a child prostitution ring.

my reservations are with what this nonprofit group does, and feel that it shouldn't get federal funding until they fix their little management problem.

If you cut off funding to every government agency that's been reputed to commit crimes, you'd have to shut down the government.
