Actually a weak attempt was made by a few Congresspersons to investigate ACORN but it got shut down. It is not popular to go against an organization
on which Obama built his career.
As with Bush and his oil ties never seeing the light of day, Obama's ties to what amounts to Organized Crime will never see the light of day.
If I recall correctly ACORN has something like 28 cover organizations all operating and collecting money through their New Orleans office. This is all
public knowledge and if anyone cared the investigation would have been underway long ago in a serious manner.
They even had the founders brother embezell a million from ACORN and he was not only not prosecuted they swept it under the rug and placed him in one
of the cover organizations. I don't think any of these facts are under dispute.
A group of past ACORN local leaders who quit when the national office refused to disclose a financial report to them, has been trying to get an
investigation going. They have been blocked because ACORN has full backing of the DNC and Obama. These are not Right Wing nuts, they are former
administrators from ACORN and they know for a fact it is and Organized Crime operation.
One way it does help us is that anyone who defends ACORN has outed themselves as thinking criminal activity is right as long as it benefits their
political point of view and hurts those who don't do as they wish.
ACORN is as immune from the light of day as the contractors hired to do work in Iraq who were protected by Bush. Same thing exactly.
ACORN will never be exposed or face a real investigation and anyone who tries to stop this organized crime operation will be facing reprisal from
Obama and the DNC. When you are the errand boy for the POTUS you can do what you want especially if it was the POTUS who set you up in the first
place.
