You cannot distort facts, that would make it a lie.
You only want to discuss Beck's motive and not the issue of ACORN itself so I am done replying to you unless you want to discuss the organization.

Cool with me - keep up the good fight against the right wing bogeymen.

See that is where we are different. You watch something like Glenn Beck and immediately discredit the guy without even listening. I listen and after I check the facts I decide for myself. I give everyone the benefit of saying what they want to say. I don't discredit them because I don't like the persons sex, who they voted for, or what other people think .

I don't care what his agenda is. It is irrelevant to me. I take the information he gave about ACORN just like I would a news link on a web page. I read it, then check the facts for myself.

You checked the facts for yourself?

Please explain why there are buildings where you claimed there wasn't (in your OP)?

The buildings are there, sort of.
Here are the facts that I found for myself, no help from Beck other than initial report about something strange with the organization.

They have over 200 member organizations that make up the overall organization. Of that there are over 400,000 members including a large portion that pay membership dues.

They receive millions from the government and could gain access to billions.

We are supposed to believe that they coordinate all of this out of the offices listed on their web site. The address they list point to , 1 a old funeral home, 2 a very small office that has a banner hanging in a window, 3 an old catholic mission that looks like it closed years ago.

If they are that good at management and operating with such meager offices, then we need them to run the government and the banks and corporations because they are the best damn managers in the world. They must have some amazing talent working there.

Instead what I think they are is a shell corporation. All the evidence points to it. The accusations of money laundering, racketeering and ties to labor unions.

If they were a local charity I could see them running out of such meager places. But you can't run a multimillion soon to be billion dollar organization out of a spare bedroom unless the organization really is nothing more than a front.

And?

You really don't understand how legit businesses operate ?
Go ahead and look at some of the other offices. They aren't any better than the main 3 they list and often worse. No way are those the places that are handling the money for a large organization.

You obviously don't. I work for a company and the primary business address is a P.O box. That PO box is in a building with hundreds of others. But get this, the building where all the money is handled is....somewhere else! What sort of crazy planet is this? Is the place I look for a illegitimate business as well?
