ACORN ‘Dissolves’ Today: APRIL FOOL’S!!!
by Matthew VadumDid you hear that the scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is schedule to dissolve today?
ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis and her allies in the mainstream media said so and everything.
April Fool’s! Ha ha ha.
Whew! ACORN almost had America going there.
The truth is ACORN’s not going anywhere. Right now the embattled organization that used to employ President Obama is engaged in a strategic retreat. ACORN is plundering the assets of state chapters and affiliated organizations and stockpiling cash for future use.
I know this because in recent days ACORN sources have told me repeatedly and in no uncertain terms that the much-publicized shut-down of ACORN today is a gigantic fraud. ACORN intends to avoid the spotlight for a year or two and then come back using a new name, they say.
The sources’ comments echo the leaked email from full-time ACORN cyber-agitator Nathan Henderson-James who confirmed the whole thing’s a big joke.
A dozen ACORN state chapters reincorporated to seem like new, independent organizations will soon spring up to carry on ACORN’s business, the email from ACORN’s online director suggested in late February.
There will be “a dozen or more organizations launched on the state level by staff who used to work for ACORN and leaders who developed their skills as ACORN members,” Henderson-James wrote.
The secret message was posted on Townhouse, an invitation-only discussion forum run by Matt Stoller, senior policy adviser to Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.).
So far at least six state chapters have attempted to reinvent themselves. The latest is ACORN’s Texas chapter which has become the “Texas Organizing Project.”
The crown jewels of the ACORN network –ACORN Housing and Project Vote— also aren’t going away.
ACORN Housing, whose employees were caught on hidden-camera video last year by James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles providing a walk-in legal clinic for prostitutes, pimps, and illegal immigrant smugglers, has filed legal papers changing its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America.
The notorious Project Vote, which registers Mickey Mouse, household pets, and the dead to vote every election cycle, is also still is business.
So, if you believe ACORN is dead and buried, the joke’s on you.

And if they think we're falling for this, the jokes on them.
Boy, that is a relief. I was getting really concerned about what the pimps and hoes were going to do?
A turd by any other name smells just as rank.
What is it with the articles today? Telling us what we already know!
Nothing against you Matthew…I appreciate your dogged determination in exposing ACORN.
I'll just be glad when we can see some results. Probably January 2011 after the election upheaval!
Too bad for ACORN that no one with a brain believes they are folding. We all know that they are regrouping and renaming. All we have to do is follow along and connect the little dots again.
The jig is up Bertha!
I've said this in another thread, but it is worth repeating. We need to keep track of these changes of name and keep a central list where it easily accessible to everyone. That way when election time rolls around we will know them when we see them and hopefully be able to subvert what they are doing.
They are just reorganizing a transformation to a different entity & will emerge with the same strongarm backers.
"I know this because in recent days ACORN sources have told me repeatedly and in no uncertain terms that the much-publicized shut-down of ACORN today is a gigantic fraud. ACORN intends to avoid the spotlight for a year or two and then come back using a new name, they say."
Sounds like they are trying to prepare the battlefield for Nov. 2012. They must be ambushed and thoroughly defeated.
ACORN is a generational mindset, institutionalized corruption at its finest. It has made a living out of victimizing those at the lower end of the socio-economic scale. It is race-baiting, and pandering taken to a level of fine art. Dissolving ACORN will be about as easy as seperating mercury.
The only way to change this entrenched behavior would be to have about one thousand mass funerals (I use that figuratively). ACORN, with their organizational and operative structure, is more closely comparable to Al Quaida as it relates to command and control. Further, nobody has ever drawn this distinction, but the generational and racial makeup of ACORN, is comparable to the Maddrassa's of the Militant Muslim world. It is a mindset that is taught.
There. That will open the door wide for the race-baiters to jump in here……..
Off topic, here's the Obamination du jour, watch it and weep: http://www.breitbart.tv/congressman-worries-more-...
Just continue to pass laws, I'm sure.
You teapeople should save some of this hate for the terrorists. Acorn is going away, so you have won. Be happy.
I watchign your video.
I am simply amazed, and shocked. That moron has trouble putting two cohesive thoughts together and using them in a sentence. Good grief!
I think pimpdaddy is going to wind up doing community service. He could get some jail time, but it's his first offense so it's unlikely. Plus, he probably wouldn't have copped to the misdemeanor if their was jail time.
You should go check out their new names and report back. Don't worry about any real acorn connections; as long as they are black we'll run with it.
Hell, I thougt I took the wrong meds this morning when I saw that. Surreal to the point of unbelievability. We're in deep dooty. This is who's deciding, largely, how our lives go.As the val gals say: "Uh mah Gawd."
Why do you think we don't hate terrorist? Like it or not, ACORN qualifies as a terrorist organization and you can be sure it's not going away.
Breaking News: Michael Steele is stepping down as RNC chair and is actually taking responsibility for his multiple blunders and waste of RNC donations.
April fools

Anon,
I see that since folks started using your generic sign in that you have come back, and been reborn under your original handle. Interesting, that since they did that to you the other day, anon has vanished, and you are back, using the old moniker.
Busted………..!
Obsessively focusing on ACORN (who have done nothing but register minority voters, and offer piddling amounts of financial assistance) won't harm impressions of racial insensitivity and will lead to SWEEPING GOP ELECTORAL GAINS!!1!
Hey, you know what? Every day in April is an April Fool's Day on Breitbart.
Mik say it ain’t so, your defending ACORN? So what’s in it for you?
You notice it's always progressives who bring up the race issue first.
Dollus, from the Obammy stash of cash.
ACORN changes their name and identies, about as frequently as you do anon.
You saladpeople should save some hate for the terrorist, and you as a saladperson please define terrorist?
Actually, I was hoping that ACORN did not disband. Since they are ok with registering Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck to vote, I was thinking about naming my cow herd, and getting each and every one of them a voter registration card. After all, my cows are real, and on their registration papers, they all have real names, and certificates of live birth. Furthermore, they were all born in Montana, USA and know where and when they were born. When amnesty becomes a reality, I might even sign them up as legitimate citizens and get them each a Social Security "crazy check".
I just might be on to something here.
Might even expand the concept down to Wyoming. I hear there are some sheep ranchers there, who are quite fond of their sheep………
A few quick thoughts …
1. How did the naval officer keep a straight face?
2. Why is that bumbling idiot wandering around loose?
3. Who keeps voting for the guy? I would call him a moron but that would be insulting to morons everywhere.
ACORN will not be allowed to go away by the politicians in power. They need their support to steal elections and then reward them with taxpayer money. To get rid of ACORN; get rid of their supporters.
The only way ACORN and other entrenched re-distributionist organizations will go away is through the TOTAL economic collapse of the U.S. I don't think the population with their hands perpetually out will ever learn until there is literally no more money to give them. At that point there will have to be some sort of revolution here to straighten things out. Either politically or militarily. I pray I am wrong, but so far I have seen no evidence to prove me so.
APRIL FOOLS: Now they are even more dangerous. They have broken into dozens of smaller groups. With a strong network they are still well funded no matter what they call themselves. http://www.americanparchment.com called this the day that they reported their 'disbanding.' They had a few articles about the dangers we are now under now that there are more organizations to fund and more to watch.
The cows will probably be better informed than most democrats, and are more useful to society.
I think Acorn are a bunch of knuckleheads. I appreciate their political goals, but I didn't see any quality control…. a sure sign of poor management.
They're like cockroaches…
It's difficult for me to tell you people apart too… after a while you all sound the same.
At ease cowboy, I'll be in the area all day.
To kill acorn we must follow several critical steps:
A) Cut off the free taxpayer money;
B) Conduct a full-blown voter fraud RICO investigation into everyone that has ever "worked" for them and prosecute;
C) Adamantly insist that each state clearly define vote count rules with no allowances for stupid stories about stupid disenfranchised people that appear from the graveyards at midnight;
D) Monitor each precinct each election for shenanigans
Follow these steps and acorn's purported mission is irrelevant…
I agree totally, this organization will change its name, and still remain under some other pretense.
Now just project that onto our Dear Leader, and you'll begin to understand why we're so upset with him! It's so easy…
You do a lot of that projecting. You are projecting your racist fears on the first black president. You lost, get over it.
One day your words will sing across the universe of course the parenthetical will be removed. Wait I think it already has something about western haters.
Anyway point well taken dissolving the Acorn mindset will be a multi generational effort. I do believe that ACORN (the Bertha Lewis ACORN) is done. Bertha will raid the local chapters to attempt to keep herself and her leadership going (trust me herself is the most important aspect of this i do not believe she is a true believer) but Rahtke and Obama knew from the beginning the strength is in the numbers, the ground forces with sad stories that could be rallied at a moments notice. That element is what gives them a grassroots look and a grassroots appeal. Who is moved by a 110,000 dollar a year exe tossing eggs? Only the opposition. Put that egg in the hands of poor Trudy Trublood the one legged widow of a uninsured cancer victim, whose six out of wedlock children are sick from eating lead paint in there government sponsored housing, and watch the Media frolic. Trudy will move on and because she can not wait two years for another check. Without the legends of trained Trudys they are just another group of whiners
I dont know Cowboy those cows are after all full of bull are you sure they arn't already registered as Democrates?
Barry’s black? I’d for gotten, you can always count on a liberal to remind you of that, thanks!
Actually the end of Acorn and its clones will come when we decentralize federal authority. Most importantly the federal purse. We need to limit federal spending and taxation only to those things the we need the Federal Government for; National Defense, International Trade, Interstate trade (watch out for this one). Functions of welfare should be voluntary functions of the state. If Montana doesn’t want to support young people to the level they have become accustomed they can move to California. When California falls into the ocean because of the weight of the barnacles dragging them down they can go back to Wyoming and get a real job. Is it a perfect system of universal fairness NOPE will it work HELL YES. Michigan used tit years ago to attract poor folks from the south to work in our factories. Feed them cloth them house them so they could work for the car makers. They more then made up for it with future tax revenues. If I remember my history correctly Michigan pioneered the concept. For that I apologize BUT if it was still a state run function we would have rolled this back along time ago
Gee. That sounds racist.
Yeah, they got caught.
Let's not forget his Irish heritage. He has something for all of us to love.
That's the knucklehead part. If you are truly trying to manipulate the results of an election with voter fraud, why do by signing up "mickey mouse", or "michael irvin".
And to be fair, the reason they were caught is because Acorn officials found the discrepancies and pointed them out to county election officials. They were required by law to turn in all voter registration forms so they didn't have an option of withholding registration forms that were suspect.
In two years ACORN will reemerge as OPTIMISM. Organizations Promoting Thugs to Intimidate Millions Into a Socialist Malaise.
except his policies – Americans DO NOT WANT socialism forced onto them as he is doing !
The word socialism is so misused by the right that it is practically meaningless when you use it… congrats for that.
They owe the SEIU millions. The SEIU is also in debt. ACORN has a couple million tax leins. John Podesta from the Sorois cartel needs to tell us what is going on. He paid for a cleansing audit that said they were fine. I gueess it was a bogus audit. It will be hard to get a little fed funding and transfer it over to a new enterprise without getting caught.
Rank and file leftist…..what else do you think they will do.. O thats right change there spots…. once a lepoard always a leopard…..I want to see if Bertha will still be the "MAN" in charge…
You appear to be suffering from paranoid delusions brought on by over indulgence in foxN00se and rushradio. To my knowledge there is no cure, but if you acknowledge the sickness you may be able to manage it. Until then, thanks for writing.
P.S. The Democratic party is your adversary, not your enemy.
Grayson has an association with ACORN? WOW, did that come from left field. Oh well, stupid is as stupid does and they don't get much more stupid than those two.
Can anyone name a single state that is pursuing this contemptible, money sucking leech of a group? Unbelievable….
We have Names
We have Video
We have Documentation
We have a president of the United States that promised transparency…. now that is a Aprils Fools Joke and it’s on us!
Perhaps you should have the medical procedure to correct the deficiencies suffered by those with CRIS.
Of course it is racist. Mikatrollah always assumes that poor people are black.
You seem to be confused. We don't have to save our ire for terrorists because acorn is a home-grown terrorist organization. And like any extermination of bugs, once must keep constant vigilance to prevent a recurrence of the infestation.
Mikatrollan appears to be suffering from CRIS but don't worry once the correct procedure is applied then shiite will here a "POP" and begin to see the light.
The least you could have done is take a shot at the pigs in a progressive state!
I came to understand what it means to have one's mind "boggled" when I saw that. I wondered about the naval officer, too. I think I saw a smile start and then he realized where he was and that he was not among friends. 'Sorta makes you wonder why the protagonist of the video is allowed to be in the general population.
They can't be any less qualified to vote than the ones who brought us this current administration. Citizens–I like that. Democrats will just use bovine-Americans as their latest divide-and-conquer political shills.
One day while I was at work, a co-worker of mine came across a spider in the hallway. The 28 year old receptionist was freaked out (she had a bit of a spider phobia). So, my co-worker stepped on it. As soon as he did, about 20 little baby spiders went scurrying off in all directions. It was like a horror film. He'd killed the mama spider, but now her offspring were running around. I was sure our poor receptionist was going to have a nervous breakdown.
I've just creeped everyone out to make an analogy. ACORN may be gone, but it's offspring will be out there, infiltrating every area where ACORN used to be. And come 2012, they'll be all grown up.
I had a feeling that ACORN shutting down was too good to be true.
@PicklelsHot – Here's another one for you to add to your list:
E. Ban all Electronic voting machines – Go back to using paper ballots.
from mighty ACORN marxists grow……for ‘xample osamabama…..
We have seen the enemy and it is YOU. You are a terrorist, the enemy of the state, the domestic enemy.
And it is not hate it is called patriotism and you would have to be an AMERICAN to understand this so don't bother.
The democrat party is a terrorist organization.
For shame, Matthew! April Fools' Day jokes are supposed to be harmless good fun. The reconstitution of ACORN will be extremely harmful. It may take as long as a year to find all of the new companies, that are the spawn of ACORN. ACORN is a cancer in our country and our government, and it will metastacize very quickly. One place to look, right away, is the "temporary" Census workers, and any subcontracting firms, which have done the hiring and training of these cockroaches.
Is that why you show up here on the Big sites? An imaginary id, believing in an imaginary outlook, posting imagined relevant posts?
It doesn't matter to me if he's black, white, green or purple he is a scat poor president. I don't have to like a man who scares me half to death.
The reason you are so scared is because fear mongering always backfires. I can watch Rush or foxN00se and it doesn't scare me because I don't internalize the fear. You spend every waking moment internalizing right wing talking points and then wonder why you are so fearful… and then turn that fear on Obama just as you have been instructed. It is sad and predictable.
Aw, how cute. Mika-chan flings the "projection" accusation first to cover up his own antics.
Add fingerprints. Make registration at least 2 wks before the election mandatory–so they can't register off the streets election day.
[...] I warned in Human Events and at BigGovernment, ACORN isn’t going away anytime [...]
So anyone cares about the fact that the videos incriminating ACORN turned out to be completely edited? In the end, the guy did not even go in dressed as a pimp….the ACORN employee asked all the questions only to call the police right after…
But Fox news did not report on this, sometimes I wonder if Fox is as fair and balanced as they say they are.
Without those tapes… do we really have sufficient reasons to hate ACORN? I thought all they did was help the poor/minorities and make them vote. Im a conservative, I believe the government should not make us pay for a welfare state..but i believe in charity. As far as I know ACORN was privately funded no?
