Question:
If ACORN is not corrupt, why are they changing their name and threatening a lawsuit?

Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke, embezzled almost $1 million from the organization in 1999 and 2000, while he was employed as the organization’s chief financial officer with the CCI affiliate. For almost a decade Wade Rathke and other staff members concealed the embezzlement from ACORN’s board of trustees, according to the criminal complaint ACORN 8 members filed against the organization

They can change the name,it doesn't change who and what they are.Which is an extreme Leftist,and utterly corrupt group that has regularly been caught,but yet for some reason gets away with the things they do.



And the worst part,is that we now have Comrade 0bama funneling money to them from the Tax Payers.

This in an inside battle. You conservatives worry about ACORN so much. You have failed to to notice that one of your very own has been arrested in California on voter registration fraud.

Aside from the fact that your source is an opinion blog, not a news article, companies tend to change names after they get bad publicity (whether justified or not). Just like Blackwater did.

It would seem that ACORN is corrupt after all. But we already knew that.

When you publically libel someone unjustly, they tend to want to sue you for it.

ACORN is a disaster.
