Um, no. I really don't know which is true, Zoomie. You are an intelligent poster but for all I know you are a liar or a fool...ACORN was not promoting the child sex trade.Yeah, it is. He's saying he's fighting for the same issues they are. That's not saying he's a member of ACORN. I swear, for people that bitch about wanting English as the national language, it's pretty damn funny that none of you speak it.
Pretty damn sad indeed.
Gateway PunditBarack Obama: Well, first of all my relationship with ACORN is pretty straightforward. Its probably 13 years ago when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that investigation was the US Justice department in having Illinois implement what was called the motor voter law, to make sure people could go to DMVs and driver license facilities to get registered. It wasnt being implemented. That was my relationship and is my relationship to ACORN. There is an ACORN organization in Chicago. Theyve been active. As an elected offiical, Ive had interactions with them. But, theyre not advising my campaign. Weve got the best voter registration in politics right now and we dont need ACORNs help.
For the record
ACORN is the largest radical leftist group in America today.
This radical group worked closely with the Obama camp during the election but, the community organizing group was not open about the relationship. The photo below was scrubbed from the ACORN website before the election:
One of Barack Obamas first big community organizer jobs involved ACORN in 1992. He worked along side ACORN before he became an elected official. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN in 2008 for voter registration efforts.
And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama in 2008.
In 2009 Obama promoted a top ACORN operative, Patrick Gaspard, whos oranization was fined $775,000 for election violations, to a top post in the White House. Gespard is helping shape domestic policy today.
Obamas ACORN group was banned from receiving federal funds in September after the group was busted on tape promoting the child sex slave trade.
Seriously, why do so many believe the hysterical rantings of blogs?
A worker talked to, what in my opinion, were two people that were obviously fakes and he went to the cops afterwards about it. A WORKER is not ACORN promoting the child sex slave trade.
That is all.
Did ACORN not lose funding for doing something illegal?
The employees are heard telling the couple how to avoid paying taxes and how to qualify for a mortgage on a home the couple plan to use as a brothel.
"And if anyone asks you your business is a performing artist, which you are, okay, so you are not lying," says one of the ACORN workers caught on the tape. "Performing artist. So stop saying prostitution. Got it."

House Democrats on Thursday unexpectedly abandoned their longtime ally ACORN, joining Republicans in an overwhelming vote to end all federal funding for the embattled liberal activist group.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) watched its last bastion of support in Washington crumble a week after hidden-camera investigative videos surfaced that showed its workers advising a supposed underage prostitute on how to cheat on taxes and loan applications.

Interesting that you chose to address that point rather than the op.
