...this guy! The National Spokesman for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (commonly known as ACORN) was invited onto the Glenn Beck show today. He was there to defend his organization and the recent series of charges it faced of voter fraud. For those of you not in the loop fourteen (14) different states have filed charges of "voter fraud" against employees of ACORN.
Now, one would think that a National Spokesman would handle himself with dignity and be fairly well composed while on a national cable news channel. Well if you watch the video you will see the hilarity ensue. Not once does the spokesman refute any argument with those silly little things called... ummm... errr... oh yeah "facts". Granted at times Glenn Beck talks over this guy, but, honestly this interview was a train wreck from the start.
ACORN apparently takes the stance that it is not their organization that is being charged, but, instead "rogue agents". ACORN has nothing to do with these people who acted on their own volition. Now, I would buy this if it were one or two people being charged, however, the number so far is fourteen and quickly growing. This shows that the issue is rife within the organization. The spokesman merely poo-poos it and passes it off as nothing. The best part is when Glenn brings up the issue that ACORN is suppose to be non-partisan to be tax-exempt and asks him how many Republicans they have supported. Watch the video for the astounding response.
Honestly, if I were the CEO of a company and I saw my spokesman make an ass out of himself like this, he would be fired on the spot. I can imagine that this guy won't be.
So, whats ACORN being charged with:
1. Having a quota system for workers. This is against the law, but what makes it more ridiculous is the fact that ACORN used people on the furlough system. So, people who had been charged with identity theft could leave prison as long as they held a job. Well, ACORN said in order to keep you job and stay out of prison you need X amount of people. So, no wonder why these people made up fake names.
2. Giving out incentives to those who registered a numerous amount of voters. I'm not quite clear on this one, but, apparently, ACORN would give people BLACKJACK incentives if they met a certain number. I mean, come on, who would not cheat if they could get something for free.
Oh yeah, and your tax dollars fund this organization.
