ACORN Watch II: Teaming up with the SEIU on a shakedown

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 10, 2009 02:52 PM

And the hits keep on coming. ACORN/Project Vote whistleblower Anita Moncrief has a new investigative piece at the Hot Air Greenroom on the criminal enterprise’s shakedown efforts with the SEIU targeting the Carlyle Group.

Repeat after me: ACORN is a criminal enterprise.

    That’s interesting since one of the founders of the Carlyle Group is none other than George Soros. It’s probably a cover for George getting one set of partners cough up money to subsidized his other set of partners. You get leverage, tax-benefits and a masking operation. Or not.

    We ought to rendition this guy to France where he is a convicted criminal who fled from justice.

    It seems that these groups are there only to keep up the chaos. No real end result other than growing the membership and thereby growing the voting base. The tax exemption allows them to feed off our taxes while they shack-down and destroy businesses. The cycle continues, these groups grow and grow.
    Where are the laws governing tax exempt organizations?
    Where are the companies that say “NO” to the shakedown?

    Come on now, how else were they going to get the Carlyle Group to give them something? It’s not like they wanted to make a donation or anything. They’re just following the community organizer playbook.

    Can individual states take criminal action against ACORN? Clearly the US Justice Department under a marxist regime will not.

    If only conservatives are upset by criminal activity then America is cooked. But that is not the case. Many many liberal Democrats and Independents are mortified at the criminal excesses of the little man and his operatives. Their collective (pun intended) hubris will eventually catch up with them, as will the law.

    Interesting comment from someone who is supposed to be an officer of the court.

    As far as I am concerned ALL of these ACORN type organizations should instantly lose their Federal funding; without exception.

    Tax dollars should not be used to support any of these supposed “grass roots” organizations, left or right. It’s inappropriate and money attracts corruption.

    If they cannot exist by their own means, then they should disappear.
