1. I am a Republican and have been elected as County Chairman in the past and I have not and never will have anything to do with ACORN. Like the Partisan Press and both Political Parties, I too have always known about their illegal activities since the late 1970’s. They have continually violated the LAW and lied on their applications and statements for continued legal status as a non-profit non-political organization, thus defrauding the Federal and State governments of Tax Revenue. Just because some week kneed cowardly RHINOs kowtow to ACORN doesn’t mean Republicans are responsible for ACORN or dirty like Obama who gives them $800,000.00 and secures millions for them from the Federal and State governments. Like a circumstantial evident conviction for murder alone each dishonest and criminal tie that Obama has doesn’t convict but dozens of these lies about these evil relationships do add up to a conviction. He is guilty of being a Socialist that wants to change our government, morals and cultural arrangement. Kill the babies, and you get a second chance it they breathe in spite of the abortion, destroy the Christian ethic of marriage, family and morality by imposing homosexual controls, this change will destroy America. Obama is bad for you and me and America.

Mary is right, and evidently there were a lot of republicans backing ACORN also:

On Monday, the Democratic-leaning group ACORN, which has been painted as a criminal enterprise by the GOP for its voter registration and housing policy efforts, pushed back against its critics by producing a photo of John McCain attending its March 2006 rally.
It was a reminder that, for all their electoral histrionics, Republicans have aligned themselves with ACORN in the past.
Indeed, in addition to the McCain photo, there is a host of examples of prominent McCain surrogates attending ACORN events, signing ACORN legislation, or complimenting the group’s efforts.

More republicans at the link…. yes, it’s the Huffington Post.

ACORN did help many real people get into homes. Those were good 30 year fixed home loans at a lower than average interest rate.

Warren,
Because the American people are easily duped into mob mentality and it is easier to avoid a fight sometimes than tell the truth. That’s why.
I am not an Obama fan. But his campaign is being run by very sharp people and they know what battles to fight. This one is not going to win or lose the WH. I’d advise the same thing – walk away – move on to other items on the list.
I too worked for ACORN (in a round about way) and thought it had much to offer.
No matter how you slice it, someone else will always be sure to talk about how you failed to inform yourself.
