   “New name, same mission” is correct. The collectivists never, ever give up!

   ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis blamed the group’s demise on “a series of well-orchestrated, relentless, well-funded, right-wing attacks.”

   So, is the CEO of ACORN admitting that their group is left-wing? I thought that they were a “non-profit” group, which is supposed to mean apolitical.

   Hmmmm.

   And let those attacks continue when this vile seething septic blight on society rears its head again under a new banner.

   ACORN will respawn into another government supported agency. Bet on it.

   Bullseye Flyman. Remember MM’s admonition to watch for whatever it morphs into. I repeat my worn out analogy: A aged ValueJet DC9 augured into the everglades taking 110 souls with it. The cause was shoddy maintenance and safety practices. They re-organized as AirTran and were flying high just a few months later. It’s all about BRAND NAME. ACORN will not die.

   I seriously hope Michelle, Anita Moncreif, or someone will keep their eyes on this, and keep all informed. I have no idea how to follow their paper trails.

   ACORN will never give up completely. Obama needs their support too much. Differnt name but using the same tactics.

    Didn’t some judge rule that the feds could not de-fund acorn? I guess the money will be transferred to the new acorn now. Acorn has so many different agencies, it is hard to track them all. That is the plan, IMO.

    ACORN freaks aren’t worried. They’re just being shuffled over to employment in the IRS/obamacare collections dept.

    Hoping for this organization to die is like cutting off the head of a rattler -you have to bury the head. Because of it’s heat seeking ability it will contract it’s muscles to react and bite. You have to wait for full rigor because it’s safe to handle.

    Is that a metaphor for “We were caught in the act on tape”?

    The Soviet Union was also brought down by a “well-orchestrated, right wing attack”. Was that a good thing or a bad thing?

    The Democrat Party was never very happy about it.

    Yeah, the irony is sooo sweet. It’s just a shame O’Keefe had to climb on the Bonehead Bus in New Orleans. Seriously damaged his future cred.

    absolutely correct Rogue Cheddar…we need to keep the lights on all of their newly formed chapters where ever they pop up and no matter the new name…the same corrupt people will be there running them.

    other organizations, including some formed by former ACORN workers, “are answering to the continuing need to organize people to have a voice in their communities.”

    I’m only concerned about the new organizations which are effective at procuring significant funding. Let’s all hope that we can prevent our tax dollars from going to them.

    heh. My 9-year-old daughter did. She said, when you send it back on April 1st, do they send a note back saying “April Fools?” To which I responded, “Honey, the government is playing April Fools’ jokes every day now.”

    BTW, did anybody notice that the instructions said to fill the form out and return it “immediately” — but the form itself is to count who resides in a certain residence on April 1, 2010? Our Federal Government is so wonderful with details. Details? Shmetails… And yes, I shamelessly put “Other” on race, and wrote in “American.” They’ll probably punish me by sending me the long form. They won’t get any answers on that one…

    After all the effort by the CB to GPS every doorway and get an accurate address. When I received the announcement letter, the address was correct; the actual census form had an incorrect address. Go figure. Close enough for government work. Can’t wait for governmental health care. Will my policy be sent to the wrong address too?

    Like all grievance mongers (and all liberals for that matter), she blames everyone else for the trouble they brought on themselves. You ran a corrupt organization and got caught. Take your medicine and stop whining.

    I was at a trade show the other day and stopped at the census booth to ask a couple questions. I first asked what would happen if I only fill in the how many and what race question? She said they would contact me again, and there could be a fine. So I said “whats the fine?” thinking it may be cheaper to just pay it and tell them to go away. She said “that’s not published information”. So I said, “the government has to publish everything they do.” She said “well they don’t publish that”.

    The intelligence of the census workers.

    No, but your replacement liver will be. Unfortunately the RepoMen will know your real address.

    This is exactly why they will re-emerge. ACORN was always a shell over a massive web of all kinds of groups. It made it much easier for them to move money around, conduct whatever illegal activities they needed, rip off the taxpayer, avoid the law yet still off a public face to some leftist politician.

    The same underlying groups still exist, but a new shell will be formed.
