Unraveling The ACORN Conspiracy

It's one thing for an advocacy group to enlist and enable voters. It's quite another when an ideological group linked to the country's most powerful politician is allegedly subverting the law to achieve its goals. Were a Republican-aligned organization involved in such a thing, there would be no time for Congress to do anything due to all of the investigations. Michelle shines the light on a building effort to push back against what appears to be a nefarious enterprise.

ACORN knows how to fight. In cases where a DA goes after them, they're quick to launch counter-suits to further undermine the law. Also see No Sheeples for a previously linked report on the Dead Voters Society. Also see other ACORN links - from today: Pittsburgh attorney calls for Special Prosecutor if Congress won't act and from the 22nd, ACORN challenges a PA law being used to prosecute former employees as unconstitutional.

They know how to fight and Republicans haven't been fighting back uo until now. They need to keep up the heat.

via link to Michelle above:

The report is 88 pages and does an excellent job of providing background on the Rathke embezzlement scandal, ACORN’s tax evasion, and violation of ERISA laws. Those who have followed whistleblower Anita MonCrief’s work will be familiar with many of the sections on the political coordination between ACORN, Project Vote, and its tax-exempt affiliates — particularly CCI and CSI. Still, there is only passing mention of the intimate relationship between ACORN and Team Obama – and only one line about the Obama campaign’s misreported $800,000+plus expenditure to CSI/ACORN, which I reported on back in August 2008.

We’re still at the tip of the iceberg.

As best I can see, either this A-gang is fully unraveled, defanged and under every possible indictment well ahead of 2010 or the last national election was in 2004 and the last of most state elections has already occurred as well.

The White House and DNC know keenly that they cannot allow a national election and their main effort has been devoted to that necessity since 2004 at least. The A-gang and its affiliates are the means -- aka "national domestic security force" "as strong and well-funded as the US military" -- of eliminating national and logal elections.

The traditional name for this sort of force structure is "Praetorian Guard." White House and DNC know the US Armed Forces will not fulfill that role so they created the A-gang long ago. Stopping them should be [should have been] the highest priority because empowering them is.

The A-gang may be compared with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in its relationship to the White House and DNC and its affiliates may be compared with the Basiji militias. Those structures fulfill the role in Iran that the A-gang and its affiliates fulfill in the USA.

An irony of the latter situation is that if these structures come fully into fruition, the White House will use them to eliminate the DNC, Congress and SCOTUS. No need for multiple equal branches here.

The Federalism Amendment is an integral element of unraveling and defeating the A-gang -- and the White House and DNC who created it.

Glenn Beck has been exposing this group. Rathke has a past. It's SDS or Weathermen or something like it.

Were their little red books issued to them yet?

The interesting thing is that ACORN is claiming a First Amendment right to pay their peons BY THE PIECE for completed voter registrations. In the past, whenever they were caught with loads of obviously fake registrations, they'd wave their hands and claim it was a mistaken policy of paying by the piece that led to the fakes. So, on the one hand it's a mistake to pay by the piece, since that leads to faked registrations; while on the other hand it's their Constitutional right to pay by the piece.

I hope Pennsylvania nails them with this, particularly since ACORN admits the practice leads to fraud. There's no First Amendment protection for fraud, after all.

Rathke and Ayers and Salinsky and SDS

I hope to see the day when ACORN goes down.

Lala, yeah, it goes deep.

I think what we're seeing is the unraveling of the Community Organizer in Chief. I'll bet Biden is looking hard at Ford's "first term."

Just in time for Xerxes to have them help conduct the census!

How many people would 8 billion redirected in tax credits for small business employ??

Just thinking!!!

I forgot in Xerxes' world "business" bad, "government" good.

And lets make sure and add those 12 million illegal aliens (opps "undocumented immigrants") to the healthcare welfare state so we can lock up those votes for the god king!! Can't get em sucking off of the government teet soon enough!!

Great plan, right out of the old Alinski playbook!!
