#1 ACORN insiders acknowledge a reconstituted ACORN will emerge in time to help the reelection campaign of President Obama, who used to work for ACORN.

It reminds me of the mythical Phoenix

#3 The simple and cost-effective solution would be that if it's an NGO then its funding shouldn't come from the G.

#5 They want the power and money of government without the responsibility or accountability.

#6 I know they prefer to suck on the Government teet but they should go to Sarros for funding and stop the sham.

If it had to be compared to a bird at all, I'd say a hoopoe. Fouls its own nest and shoots guano at anything it deems a threat.

#9 I'm missing something:

- Feds fund ACORN
- ACORN scandals
- Feds de-fund ACORN
- ACORN disbands into successor groups
- Congress votes to de-fund successor groups

Who funded the successor groups?

#10 Just a guess, Iblis, but maybe the Democratic House funded them, and the subsequent Republican House de-funded them?

#11 Bobby:

Would have been my guess too, but where was the scandal when a Dem House started funding the same ACORN people doing the same things under a different name? Sorry I missed it.
