ACORN, which stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is at the center of this subprime mortgage mess. Guess who has been funneling money to them for years? Barack Obama that’s who.

This group is under investigation in not less than a dozen states for voter registration fraud and other things.

ACORN has often been in the news since 2004. Officially, they work to register voters and support housing. In reality, everyone in public life knows that they are hardcore supporters for the Democratic Party, and employ bare-knuckle tactics. Their organization is plagued by repeated investigations of voter fraud and other crimes.

In Ohio, where as secretary of state I oversaw elections for eight years, ACORN has been busy. One ACORN man in Reynoldsburg was indicted on two felony counts of voter fraud, and another was indicted in Columbus. Other such problems surfaced in Cuyahoga County, where criminal investigations are ongoing.

It’s not just Ohio. ACORN personnel are facing criminal charges in over a dozen states. In Washington State, for example, seven ACORN leaders had felony charges filed against them for voter fraud.

Here’s a segment from Lou Dobb’s tonight about this group and their complicity in this whole bailout mess.

Lovely people.
