ACORN plans to disrupt forclosures

[spidey07]

The fine, upstanding group is mobilizing people to physically stop forclosure and evictions. This is not going to end well as the group is encouraging people to stay in their homes. Police come to evict the person and are faced with an angry mob - what do you think is going to happen?

"Millington: That's why I'm in this mess. So I went to ACORN and ACORN is helping me to stay in my home. I'm going to stay here I'm not leaving my home. They can put me in shackles I'm still not leaving my home because this is my home."

http://www.wnyc.org/news/articles/124420

There's a lot of articles out there. There was mention their site advocated "don't let the man take you home."

-edit-
removed ACORN getting gubment money to focus on their activity and actions instead

 

[StageLeft]

As long as they can keep that bus driver in her $670k house from a thread a few days ago, I'm all for this. Poor lady.

Oh. So, let me see if I understand.

The bank owns your house, and you're going to stay there whether they like it or not? Okay. You have a car? I'm going to go drive it to work. This is my car. I'm not leaving. It's mine. I said so.

Hopefully lots of tear gas and taser shocks. Myabe this is what ACORN is using the bailout money for now... making bond for everyone in the group who gets arrested.

Yeah, that's not going to be good either. I wouldn't surprised if they wanted that to happen. Martyr and all. And with a big ole 5 billion dollar check they can "recruit" a lot of people.

 

[NeoV]

you might want to get a clue about who is and isn't getting 'bailout' money before you start and contribute to more fear-mongering BS

 

[SMOGZINN]

The fact that ACORN recived money from the federal government should have Americans up in arms. In the past few years, ACORN has been investigated for election fraud in at least a dozen states. The Clinton Administration found that ACORN was misspending government grants designed to help counsel the poor. So, now we give them more?
Sounds a whole lot like earmark to me.

They didn't get stimulus money, despite what you heard on the radio or Fox News.

Care to back that up with anything from a source other than Faux or one of their vapor brained droids? On last Wednesday's "Countdown," Keith Olbemann had a segment about another mindless rant from another brainless, loud mouth right wing jackass, Rep. Michele Bachmann who claimed ACORN recieved $5 billion in stim money. Olbemann specifically noted that ACORN is NOT receiving any money from the stimulus package.

The congresswoman from the eighth dimension is back. Michele Bachmann, who before the election suggested Obama may be anti-American, now goes nuts on the stim.

(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)

MICHELE BACHMANN, ® MINNESOTA: ACORN, this is a group that?s under federal indictment for voter fraud.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Unbelievable.

BACHMANN: ACORN?do you know how much they?re getting under this bill?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Like $4 billion, I?ve heard.

BACHMANN: $5 billion.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: $5 billion?

BACHMANN: For ACORN.

(END AUDIO CLIP)

OLBERMANN: ACORN isn?t getting a penny in the stim, Congresswoman.

I don't have anything further, one way or the other, but if Bachman's statement is the source for your claim, crediblity and sanity are not her strong suits. :roll:

 

[boomerang]

Can you say 'Civil War'?

A little voice in the back of my head keeps warning me there's another one coming. I really, really, really hope the little voice is wrong.

Edit: spelling

You claim Fox news has no credibility, then you rely SOLELY on the word of KEITH OLBERMANN?

Pot, meet kettle.

 

[Double Trouble]

I'd be shocked if a group like ACORN wasn't somehow getting a big slice of the windfall, either directly or indirectly. Keith Olbermann is on par with Bachmann and faux news as far as credibility go, none of them are believable.

So you believe Olbermann, a nut job one way liberal commentator over an elected Representative! Great! So why are we even believing in BHO?

 

[child of wonder]

So the woman's house was completely paid for, needed repairs, so she refinances it with an ARM?????

Sorry, lady, but you reap what you sow. Should've either taken out a different kind of loan that wouldn't threaten your house or sold it and moved to an apartment.

Sure, the banks have been overeager to hand out cash but consumers really need to brunt the lion's share of responsibility here.

The thing is this isn't just an isolated incident. It is a coordinated effort to instruct people to stay in their homes and ACORN will come "defend" it for you. Organized lawlessness, err, I mean community activism.

Well in this case he's right and she's lying. There isn't any Stim money designated specifically for Acorn

Easy solution: If they're illegally squatting, they can get the electricity cutoff.

It might make a few people feel warm and fuzzy that they're fighting "the man" but I fail to see how this will exact any kind of a change outside of violence.

If a group really wants to help they should offer education to consumers and encourage banks to lend responsibly.

But, in the end, you can't protect people from themselves.

But in reality they will get some. Yea she is playing a game with fear tactics. I suppose she doesn't get the pass that O gets though. Liars yea they are politicians it is in the job description.

Funny thing is calling this a stimulus package is a plain lie.

Calling for bi-partisianship while not allowing the guys on the right a word is a lie. They just wanted to hedge just incase their pet project pork bill doesn't work.

What Acornomaniacs do for a living = lie.

Republicans thinks they are taking the higher road = lie

Life is full of liars. Olberman is a jerk and he isn't fooling anyone.

 

[ModerateRepZero]

I don't have much sympathy for the foreclosured people that Acorn is "helping".
