ACORN: We have a right to take over foreclosed houses.


Your tax money is paying for this.

Several billion dollars’ worth, if I recall?

(Via Technomancy for Fun and Profit.)

Excuse me: it’s $5.9 billion dollars’ worth of your money that’s going to be accessible to ACORN, and I bet that they can’t wait. Check out Hot Air Headlines, Jawa Report, Newsbusters, and Sweetness & Light for more – particularly the last, as it highlights some of the things that ACORN itself did to put a lot of people into houses that they couldn’t actually afford. All in all, some fun faux-populism that we’ve got going on here, right? Yup, faux-populism: it’s certain that whatever definition of “The People” that ACORN uses, it’s one that excludes all of the Righties reading this – and about half of our Lefty lurkers, too.

Heck, it’s an open question whether these guys consider us to be human.

New ACORN licenses approved by Obama

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 

What about that morgage money

you know the $400 dollar that has been added to cloosing cost for some reason. Isn’t that all going to ACORN to?

Really Rich When The Acorn Thug...

rcov092 (Diary) Monday, February 23rd at 12:04AM EST (link)

tried to tell us that Acorn tried to warn the banks this was coming over 10 years ago. Freudian slip meat that they forced banks to lend under CRA, knowing they would reap the benfits in their “mortgae” related activities and then they would help stel the house once the “client’ stopped paying for it.

You watch, under “neighborhood stabilization” money in the porkulus, they will buy foreclosed homes for .15 cent on the dollar ans resell to the same people that lost the home in foreclosure for .40 cents on the dollar…as long as they register to vote.

ACORN will be sure to Register some additional fictitious folks to reside there in time to INFLATE THE CENSUS in Liberal strongholds….

It amazes me that so many Brain-dead and head up the hind-side folks across the country are still saying “all those phony registrations really don’t matter” …. How so many people can still remain clueless as to the long-term goals of these Socialists is beyond me…

ACORN= Voter Fraud

Scope (Diary) Sunday, February 22nd at 5:48PM EST (link)

That is what I am mostly concerned about. The bad mortgages too unqualified people, for me, at this time is secondary to what will happen in the next election. With the money, in the Stimulus for this rogue group, will make it very difficult for any Republican to win elections no matter where they are in the polls, and no matter what support they have. I don’t know exactly what happened in PA with the Murtha race, but, his Republican opponent had made tremendous strides almost all the way up to election day. Lou Barletta in Hazleton PA was ahead in the polls almost up until election day against Kanjorski. It seems that no one including McCain fought very hard, if at all, against voter fraud. Seems that Coleman is the only one in the fight. That’s really sad because Coleman isn’t even a very Republican, Republican.

WIll Coleman (if he wins) stop being a squish? nt

What next? These are the people who seem to be in charge of our country – and WHY? Because the rest of us got complacent? Because the rest of us assumed that we had a constitution, and a bill of rights, and so everything would be OK, because this is America? And look what happened while we were asleep one night.

Oh my God. We simply MUST rise up and defeat these thugs. They probably outnumber us, but one thing is for sure – we’ve got about 10x their IQ. Gotta fight smart.

No!!!11!1!!1!1! The Bilderbergers are coming

Rise up and defeat these thugs

izoneguy (Diary) Sunday, February 22nd at 8:01PM EST (link)

We have to mobilize – that means attend a tea party near you.
The thugs don’t outnumber us – they just don’t work so they have plenty of time to go out and protest monkey cartoons.

As this drags on more & more people who DID NOT support Obama will also be out of work. That will give us something to do with our time.

Agree totally, izoneguy

Stephen Halsey (Diary) Sunday, February 22nd at 9:03PM EST (link)

there is no way they outnumber us. I already know several people who begrudgingly voted for ObaMao and already regret it. The just refused to believe what I was telling them during the campaign about all of ObaMao’s socialist, Marxist and communist associations and ideology.

And this whole ACORN squatter thing has the potential to deteriorate rapidly.

ACORN Thug arrested

izoneguy (Diary) Monday, February 23rd at 3:28PM EST (link)

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,498669,00.html

An activist with ACORN — the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now — faces criminal charges after breaking into a home in southeast Baltimore on Thursday to protest the foreclosure crisis sweeping the country.

“This is our house now,” ACORN member Louis Beverly reportedly said after cutting a lock with bolt cutters at the home.

Beverly will be charged with fourth-degree burglary, according to Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for the Baltimore Police. Attempts to reach his attorney, Justin Brown, were not immediately successful.

will have servicing foreclosed loans and earning hefty fess under the mortgage bailout. They will also get paid to take foreclosed homes, rehab them and resell.

If you think I am kidding, read the mortgage plan and ask yourself, who will be the ones to do the “counseling” and “education” and assisting in “identifying” the foreclosures? Last part will be easy, just need look at the voters registered by Acorn.

I noticed she didn't really fight that hard

Steph C (Diary) Sunday, February 22nd at 6:36PM EST (link)

When he called her and ACORN politcal thugs. Nor could she quote any authority that said people have a right to a house but talked about defending their home and community… Nor could she answer why his money should pay for somebody’s foreclosed home.

One wonders who will defend them from ACORN when its payback time. They think they’re getting something for nothing (a house) but at some point the bill will come due and I don’t believe ACORN will be as forgiving as honest taxpayers in the end.

They truly are political thugs. Housing is just one area of their thuggery.

It seems she’s right – Obama is making this the American way.

Second best line: “They’re paying their bills.”

Stuart Varney nails every fact in here and she just tells lie after lie without blinking an eye. She could have a future in Congress.

I think she truly believes this stuff, which is even more frightening.

ACORN is the new crack

izoneguy (Diary) Sunday, February 22nd at 8:14PM EST (link)

Now a whole new generation is hooked on taking what is not theres.
They act entitled as their new President of entitlement is the biggest thug of all. The Obama hard core supporters knew what they would get with Obama. All the people that did not vote for Obama knew what Obama was about. So it was just a 7% solution that Obama needed.
Do you think those 7% are ready to get back on the right side?

"I wish we could force banks to our will"

JustLeaveMeAlone (Diary) Sunday, February 22nd at 11:20PM EST (link)

Yes, that’s what she said. If ACORN could only force banks to their will, “this wouldn’t have happened”.

Do these people even understand what the term “homeowner” means? Does she understand what owning a home means, what one agrees to when one takes out a mortgage?

I am just astounded that people like this even exist. And that the POTUS, whomever sits in that office, listens to them is beyond astonishing.

Can we take 47 more months of this guy? Seriously?
