ACORN’S Useful Idiots
Some defenders of ACORN are blind. Some like Joe Conason are something else again.
Some defenders of ACORN are blind. Some are useful idiots.
They say ACORN means well despite the ongoing scandal related to an undercover video sting operation. In it, now-fired ACORN employees across America advised two young people pretending to be a pimp and a prostitute on how to set up an underage illegal alien sex slave ring.
ACORN backers say — as they have always without fail said whenever ACORN faces an employee-related scandal — that the workers were just a few bad apples and that ACORN is focused, as Democratic strategist Paul Begala says, on improving “the real lives of real people.”
There are useful idiots and then there’s Joe Conason who ought to know better. He’s just whining now because the right has finally learned the power of political theater.
Even as evidence mounts that ACORN is a criminal organization, the longtime Bill Clinton apologist brushes aside legitimate concerns about the group in a column on Salon.com.
Trekking into new frontiers of denial and dishonesty, Conason blames ACORN’s recent troubles on the political right: “Like so many conservative attacks, the crusade against ACORN has been highly exaggerated and even falsified to create a demonic image that bears little resemblance to the real organization.”
As the first in a series of videos emerged, Conason appeared on CNN reflexively dismissing them, questioning the propriety of such undercover journalism, and calling the videos “propaganda.”
In his Salon column, Conason continues digging a hole for himself, arguing that “ACORN’s troubles should be considered in the context of a history of honorable service to the dispossessed and impoverished.” Although the undercover operatives may have had fun duping “a few morons into providing tax advice to a ‘pimp and ho,’” what ACORN actually does is help poor families file for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and fight foreclosure so they can stay in their homes, he writes.
In fact, ACORN does not have “a history of honorable service to the dispossessed and impoverished.”
This is a common misconception on the left where the group is viewed as having roughly the same moral rectitude as the late Mother Teresa. It is thought of as unassailable because it is believed to be doing good. The fact that it is so regularly attacked by conservatives and Republicans causes the left to cheer even louder for ACORN.
But the evidence shows that ACORN does not mean well, and that any good the group may happen to do for people is purely incidental.
ACORN grew out of the tumultuous 1960s. Founder Wade Rathke, who was charged with inciting violence in 1970 after a welfare rally he organized turned into a riot, had worked as a draft resistance organizer for the radical group Students for a Democratic Society. SDS splintered over tactics and one faction, the Weather Underground, was led by President Obama’s friend Bill Ayers.
Rathke was also an organizer for the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO), a group whose members physically occupied welfare offices, intimidating social workers and insisting that they be given every government welfare dollar that the law “entitled” them to. That group followed what has since been called the Cloward-Piven Strategy after sociologists Frances Fox Piven and Richard A. Cloward.
They defined a model of political and economic subversion that called upon activists to pack the welfare rolls to spread dependency, bankrupt the government, and cause uprisings against the capitalist system. Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani blames the Cloward-Piven Strategy for pushing his city close to bankruptcy in 1975.
The same year as his arrest, Rathke founded ACORN to carry out the strategy of upheaval and the agenda of welfare entitlement. That agenda manifests itself today in

I have a grim prediction (apologies if this has been pointed out already).
There were 2 amendments in the Senate, 1 in the house regarding the de-funding of PORTIONS of ACORN.
These bills will have to be reconciled in committee.
Look for the ACORN amendments to quietly and magically disappear. Obama owes way to much to this corrupt organization and it's tangled web of "funders". He could not sign such legislation, and it has become far too high profile for him to pull the veto pen.
Of course, there will probably be some sort of "crisis" that comes up right about the time this rabbit gets pulled out of the hat, just so we all take our eyes off the ball.
Alternative media, please keep the stories coming. This bacteria needs to stay in the sunlight.

ACORN has over 500,000 employees, all of which do not make anything etc. all they do is find ways for the government to spend more money, most of which is wasted and spent on things that shouldn't have been spent in the first place.

Outside of Rev Wright its hard to find a more moronic hate filled person than Conanson. His veiws rarely make sense and always favor the statist. Acorn exists is criminal org that can only exist with Dem support.
The Republicans need to grow a pair. Why didnt they cut these gangsters off when they controlled congress early in the decade? Easy,they were afraid of being called racist by anti americans boneheads like Conason,same reason they let Barney win the Fannie regulation battle and that caused a financial meltdown. Acorn could cause the race war and needs to be shut down today.
We all know Obama has ties with these scoundrels so it wont be easy.
Has there been a more corrupt administration in US history?

Anthony| 9.21.09 @ 9:10AM
Joe Conason is one of the most reflexive leftists I've ever encountered, and given the stable of hard core leftists, that's quite an accomplishment. We used to have an email correspondence after the Lewinsky episode, and to his credit, Conason was willling to engage and respond. However, little common ground could ever be reached and no amount of fact or logic could shake his rigid leftist hegemony.
I came to see him as mean, cold and blindly committed to leftism, in all its manifestations. The ends do indeed justify the means for Conason, hence, it doesn't suprise me one bit that ACORN is the corporate darling of Joe's eye. ACORN is the corporate embodiment of hard core leftists, like Radke and Obama. Domestic disruption is its sole product. Conason is a loyal customer.

Mr. Vadum,
The background on ACORN is well researched, creditable and invaluable in the context of disclosure. But who are these people and publications that you contributors keep referring to? Conason, Dowd, or Friedman, never heard of them. Also all these acronyms, NYT, NBC, CBS, ABC, or MSNBC what is all that about. Are these things some sort of “text message” code pulled from a driver’s license test?
Warpublican| 9.21.09 @ 10:26AM
The only idiot here is Vadum - and he ain't useful to ANYONE: what we see here is a big sprawling organization with a lot of accusations - but not a SINGLE conviction! Imagine if vadum held this standard for every large organization that has had to deal with troublemakers - from the catholic church to the Republican party - and many of our largest corporations - there wouldn't be too many left standing. ACORN will not go away - and I plan on donating money to help make up for what the cowardly democrats ceded to the Republicans - ONCE AGAIN...
if anything, this will only make ACORN more popular!

Matt....once again, superb job of putting together a lucid investigative report on whet is at best an extremely convoluted situation.
Proscribed "Bill of attainder?" That presumes that funding for ACORN or any such organisation has standing in Constitution to start with. Rep Jerrold Nadler is as ignorant of our founding documents as he is a liar and apologist for ACORN. Has any one looked into his finances? I'd bet dollars to donuts that cretin is as dirty as his politics.
Why can't these groups be prosecuted under the RICO statutes Et Al? There's certainly enough standing for it.

1) ACORN Housing Corporation "sold" some 500,000 houses to "underserved minorities" as per Community Reinvestment Act from Carter as reinforced by Clinton. "Qualifying income" was taken as welfare and unemployment payments plus out and out lying. These toxic assets were the passed to Fannie May and Freddie Mac, causing their bankruptcy and nationalization. Other institutions under threats by ACORN thugs also were forced to accept such mortgages with subsequent losses and bankruptcies.
2) ACORN thugs were engaged in widespread vote registration fraud and actual voting fraud in all 50 states; in only 14 states there are ongoing investigations which in due course will be squashed by our Attorney General Holder (just like Black Panther voter intimidation case in Philadelphia). Congressional investigation of ACORN vote fraud was already squashed by the White House.
3) ACORN local cells remind me of the soviets and block committees in communist countries (I should know - I escaped from a communist hell in 1957). These cells are the American version of that Lenin invention, as applied to our conditions by Davis and Alinsky, Obama's teachers. Also, those white House advisors known as czars are familiar to me under the name komissars. The marxist revolution will be complete when the ACORN cells show up in the National Guard and the military.

Tea Party
On September 20th, 2009 BLACK CELL said:
This next election is more important than the last because defeating the radical Right-wing of the Republican Party will break their backs by demoralizing their radical base & force many to reject the theory that moving hard right is how elections are won by Republicans.
Our next electoral victory will force the Republican Party to move hard left, as well as, keep their Party in turmoil for a few elections; there is also a great chance that we can use the radical right to force the Republican Party into the same dilemma that European conservatives are in..."Permanent minority!!"
I believe that we have forced the right to do what Hillary Clinton's campaign was forced to do, & that was to move hard right or politically die. That was because our side controlled all sides of the debate so they needed the white wing (Identity Poli-tricks) to keep the race close enough to give the impression that they are really putting up a good fight.
With that said, don't be afraid to use the race card to force the Wrong (Right) into political correctness.... Conservative racism can easily be defined in what I call, “An Archie Bunker Style Bigotry Strategy.”
Why do most minorities NOT vote for Republicans?

If a person says Mexican to a conservative, he or she would think illegal alien. If a person says Muslim, the conservative think terrorist, Arab, or use an ad-hominem attack like rag head. The term hyphenated American means African American to a Repug.
Right now Faux news & the Right desperately needs white American to feel that their lives aren't going to be the same if they don't vote Republican to stop the British/socialist liberals who are coming to raise their taxes & blindly spend their money out of more control than Bu$h.
All we have to do is continue taking away the right's ability to use certain strategies by forcing the officials in D.C. who support the Right's think tank propaganda to defend their own spending records, & the fact that they failed our economy & created one of the worse recessions in the history of America.
We know that their philosophies come from the old treasure fields of failed policies like lower taxes for the rich or the funny questions about the constitutionality of the Federal government paying for health care. So, let's use it all to our advantage by confronting more of the radical conservatives views back in D.C..
The Tea bag movement rhetoric can be undermined in a few ways; here are my suggestions.
We can continue forcing conservatives to continue playing defense on the issue of race by spending the early parts of next week analyzing Nancy Pelosi's fears in ways that point out the dangers that the radical Right are making can be a threat to the Speakers life.
Force the Tea bagers to defend the fact that the Republican officials who voted with Bu$h up around 90% of the time are now trying to peddle for their support.
Connect the elected conservative officials to former President Bu$h big spending by speaking out about the conservatives officials voting records.
Counter the fear mongering tactics used by the right by defining the mongers as people who should be enjoying the day like most Americans & not trying to re-live the battle of Bunker Hill.Turn the radicals fears in into a hate pointed at the wrong people, being that it was Wall Street that created this problem.
Exploit the fact that many of their supporters are recipients of the big government programs like Social Security & Medicare & force their supporters to defend those facts.
Market the fact that poor Republican leadership helped create the worse financial crisis in the history of America.
Finally, force internal squabbles by vigorously questioning if the Tea party movement is a way for Republicans to continue tricking true conservative thinkers into voting for Republicans who exploit their beliefs for election reasons only. We need the Tea Party movement to purge the left leaning Republicans from their movement.
The most valuable commodity I know of is information, wouldn't you agree?

ACORN is the reason why the American taxpayer-voters should take back this country beginning with next year's elections. Acorn represents AMERICAN TAXPAYERS' HARD EARNED MONEY/TAX PAYMENTS BEING USED BY THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS TO PARTISANLY FACILITATE/PROMOTE THEIR PARTY. There is no sane reason why our government should be financing Acorn's activities, which are noting more than WELFARE or WEALTH-REDISTRIBUTION. With the CRA's inactment in 1977 [by the likes of Dodd and Frank], socialist-liberal Democrats declared war upon banks, and the government began forcing banks to neglect 'red-lining' mortgage underwriting policies in order to provide undeserving loans to unqualified applicants. The result----today's credit/real estate/mortgage meltdown/collapse. Acorn greatly facilitated these socialistic activities, and additionally provided tax advice on how to obtain underserved tax refunds/rebates. Why has Acorn been so quickly defunded in DC--------because these liberal Democrats know that exposing these activities will create a political firestorm from taxpayer-voters? The employment numbers would increase supstantially if Acorn's [and every other government provided welfare agency] funding would be eliminated, since it recipients would be forced to take employment jobs [at wages less than their current welfare payments] that are available but which are avoided/shunned by welfare recipients now. The agricultural/hospitality industries, etc work that is now being done by illegals would be taken over by the current welfare recipients; and this country would not only reduce governmental expendatures but also reduce the illegal immigrant population of this country [since they would return to Mexico,etc, due to lack of work]. This governmental welfare [ie Acorn] needs to be stopped immediately to reduce our governmental expendatures; and if liberal-Democrats in congress refuse to do so, they need to be defeated/replaced starting with the 2010 congressional elections!!!!!!

Last pt-over 90% of ACORN funding is private. By comparison,your well spent tax dollars went to KBR's Iraq program (bringing $6 CocaColas to US soldiers) at about 100:1 , vs support for ACORN.
