Ahh...its about time? Thats about all I can think of. However, even though the organization itself does not fit into a race for many obvious reasons I feel that the popular thing to do now would be to say that the attacks on the organization are racist and that it has done nothing wrong. The organization lives in a protective bubble considering their line or work...they can really screw up 90% of the time and make things worse but they only need to do something good 10% of the time and they are considered heroes. Honestly they seem to be more interested in starting a fight than ending one.

These guys rank up there with PETA and all those other groups that "care"...

I'm not sure I understand what "attacks" your talking about. They have been busted trying to help someone get Federal money to setup a whore house with underage girls. 3 times. 13 States have investigations going for Voter fraud and voter registration fraud. Miami just arrested 17 people on those charges alone.

Systemic corruption is what I would call it. Same thing the Census Bureau said when they cut all ties with them and Senate when they voted to end all funding.

I said "attacks" for lack of a better, shorter term...there probably is one but I was too lazy to look for it.

I think Gaf misunderstood and thought you meant from YOUR perspective about the attacks on ACORN when instead you were stating that ACORN itself was considering the attacks on its organization were racist?

As for my 2 cents, I also think its about time. It was obvious that something was going on when its members were collecting votes and telling people to vote for Obama when they were not supposed to be a biased organization. I think it was all forgotten about until the pimp skit came along. Its one thing to have a bad employee here and there, but to have this many so far in different criminal acts, is justified to be known that there has to be a systemic problem going on. Alot of those ACORN members just seemed too laid back like they have been taught to do this like it was the right thing.

I have also been noticing that the left have quite a few of their own extremist views and refuse to acknowledge any problems. Sure the right has their own, but in every instance, they have been slammed to the pavement. When the left has done it, they look at people like, "What? Nothing wrong with this!" Time for change already and this is why we need a more balanced House and Senate, so one side doesn't push all their crap on the people.

Been finding it interesting that ACORN would praise the journalist duo for finding issues within the organization, then go ahead and sue them. Does this organization know what direction they are going??

Actually they are being cut off from federal funding. Although Obama has a website going as link to filter money to acorn.
