This is gonna sound racists but.. why is all ACORN footage of black people?
 

Please excuse my ignorance on this group, but is this a mostly black organization?

EVERY SINGLE clip I have seen on TV about ACORN is of black people or of a black person saying he was paid to register multiple times.

Whats the word on this? Are they just scamming black folk or did they outsource jobs to Nigeria?

Mostly done in poor areas in cities- so lots of blacks, some hispanics. Though even the footage of 2 or so years ago with Mccain speaking at an Acorn sponsored event, the crowd in red was pretty ethnic.

BTW, would sound racist. It was an observation.

because white people won't sign just anything for a few cigarettes.

ok now what is ACORN?

I giggled :1orglaugh

A useless smokescreen to attempt to make people think the Democrats are performing voter fraud. Even though the organization would be technically required to hand in all registrations to the county fake or not. Just lazy ass people are making shit up to get paid and claiming to have registered people. In effect ripping of the organization anyways.

Simple speak - Acorn tries to get low income people to register to vote.

The mightiest of the nuts

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Kools no doubt.

If the incompetent government can find out that someone was registering 100s of times I would assume a company that was hired to gather those documents could be able to tell. :2 cents:

uh because the founder is black

ACORN is the one informing the govt... they are required by law to turn in all registration forms... even if they are fraudulent... they have also been turning over the names of the people who have filled out the fraudulent registration forms. This whole thing is a smoke screen.

Why are the Disney commercials and DVD's they send you nothing but immigrants or minorities?
:disgust

Republicans accusing Dems of voter fraude is truly ironic.

Never seen one of those. I live in Thailand. Only Gooks and Charlie over here.

But my guess is to stupidly try to get more blacks and hispanics to visit Disney Land? This of course would mean that fewer white people would go as soon as the blacks and hispanics started showing up in huge numbers. Just like when they take over a shopping mall, what happens? The whites stop going, the stores close, a super saver cinema gets put in and the mall eventually fails.

As soon as immigrants or minorities go anywhere in large numbers, that place will fail. Happens all over the USA, in every city, every town. I guess if Disney wants this, let them have it. I'm tired of that damn goofy mouse anyway.

Who is their founder?

What he said. vvvvvvvv

it didn't come up because of democrats and voter fraud. it came up because Obama once represented them, supported them, defended them... then later said he had no association with them.

after that, the bailout bill had some major earmarks for ACORN which many objected to and which really sparked the latest media interest in their past behavior and the accusations of voter fraud. 20% of the states are currently investigating them for voter fraud. many of their own members have been sentenced to jail for this very thing.

not sure why a serious issue like voter fraud should be considered a "smoke screen" in what people like to call "the worlds greatest democracy" and by people who bitch that Bush stole the election twice. :winkwink:

Agreed.
:2 cents:

Um because it is not voter fraud, it is voter registration fraud. Signing up john doe to vote does not help anyone aside from the person who signed him up. They can not vote, will not vote, and will be removed from the registrar anyways by the county or state.

Fucking with the machines = voter fraud.
Telling people that if they have warrants they will be arrested if they vote = fraud.
Sending flyer's claiming if you have parking tickets you cant vote = fraud.
Fucking with the ballots = fraud.
Having a bunch of cops with guns standing in front of polling place = fraud.

So forth.
Minimum wage workers with quotas or those on commissions who are to lazy to get real registrations who make up ones, is fraud to the company that hires them. Not voter fraud.

That he has done as a lawyer with the firm representing Acorn... Are you implying that a lawyer defending OJ Simpsons is by association a murderer or kidnapper ?


that would be, if accurate, voter REGISTRATION fraud ... As stated in other post, they are required to forward ALL registrations; they did point out the anomalies .

Bush lawyers prevented with a lot of legal actions the actual re-counting of legally casted votes in Florida ... Those were ACTUAL votes, not registration cards ...

And McCain was a guest of Acorn ... need to see the video?

The real issue is why don"t the USA have a permanent voters list, like we have in Canada. :2 cents:

And all black people will?

A poor person of any color will do just about anything for money or whatever their vice is.....

....... you are one flaw brother my man:2 cents:

rule of thumb: any time non whites can't do exactly what they want it's racist. -bmb

Where do you see me saying ALL?

And if I'm FLAWED to you, so be it.

you make it hard for me to remember that you are Canadian.

blah blah fucking blah.

I'm not going to attack your own deflections away from perfectly correct statements as if i have nothing better to do.

Obama is an idiot (with a lot of charisma and nothing else)
McCain is an idiot (with the charm and personality of a lord of the rings villain)

Not everyone here is a politically polarized weirdo, believing their own narrow world view is the only correct view.

Get over yourself and US politics. fucking weirdo. It's like Canada doesn't even have a government where some of you tards are concerned. You don't have anything to bitch about up north?



:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

really? now we are playing semantics as if the answer to the question wasn't a valid point that was understood?

so ACORN is totally fine as long as they just stick to "voter registration fraud" with their federal funding?

thanks for the clarification on that vital point.

i feel much better about the democratic process now.

:winkwink:

misplaced your meds ????

in New Orleans, the politicians bring buses to the black neighborhoods, give them free t-shirts and balloons, take them to vote, and feed them hotdog lunches after.

that's how they get the poor to vote here, and I'm talking ninth ward, which was mostly black.

the poor whites probably just don't vote. :1orglaugh

Because they make up a large % of this nation's population.

And the original Disneyland is in Southern California where its all different ethnicities.

The most money they've probably made is from the foreign princess stuff. That sells globally.

same is done for old age people ....

The name of the game is WIN ....

You Know

........reading some of the post on GFY each day almost makes me believe in god or some higher spirit

....when I realize how fortunate I am for my intelect , rational thought , reasoning and overall mental capacity.

What I don't understand is what took me so long to see and understand why did I assume... man....

for those of you like me fortunate enough to have at least half a brain .... I think we should thank our lucky stars as ignorance is scarier than aids

It is two separate issues so it is not semantics.

ACORN is legally bound to turn in every single registration it gets, fake or not. They even point out suspicious ones. So to put it another way, they find out the employee they hired has just spent the past few days making up applications so that person can get a paycheck. That person drops them off and is caught. They fire that person. They are legally required to turn those registrations in.

They are technically not the ones doing it. If people want to change things. Perhaps a voting registration overhaul is in order. I just can not place blame on an organization that is following the laws and doing what they are supposed to. I am and have been an independent- this is just a non issue diversion tactic.

given the fact that ever other news article says "election fraud" or "voter fraud" when describing this problem, even though you might more appropriately call it "voter registration fraud" and you are aware of exactly what i was talking about in answering your question... it is semantics.


when its systemic and has been a problem for decades, when changes aren't made, when fake registration cards are continually found by the thousands, when their own people are being tried and sent to jail, when 14 states currently have open investigations and when its done by an organization that receives federal funds while leaning to the LEFT in their politics and who they support... maybe the organization shouldn't be allowed to exist at all.
