		<description>ACORN and Obama are two peas in the same pod. Both believe that whatever action they take is justified because their motive is to help the poor. But in both cases, what they are actually doing is helping themselves to the money coughed up by willing donors.

And a note to Hillarysmygirl:

You're dealing with the fascists of the left who feel empowered to take ANY action to punish those with whom they disagree. Be careful, these folks have a very sorry history:

		<description>I am having problems with ACORN. I have been a victim of threats and someone set my tree on fire in my yard. Why? Because I supported Hillary in the Primary and now I support McCain. Some of the kids in my neighborhood said it was the voter registration people. I asked them if they wore campaign buttons and they said they wore Obama buttons. They are the only group that is wearing Obama buttons. That is what I am doing research on them before I give my theory to the law. I am not going to just be quiet I want to find out and prosecute the folks who has done this.</description>

		<description>In the 2003 news release, ACORN hypes the figure of "twice as many blacks vs whites denied conv loans".  While in the next sentence downplays one of the true factors that determines who gets a loan at what rate:
"Racial disparities continue to be sizable even after controlling for income." 

"Sizable"?  How 'bout you just give us the number, or is it not compelling enough?  And how did they "control for income"?  Did they also control for history of payment?  I'm certain the banks did - er, at least they did before the pols decided that the banks' credit policies were racist.  Loosen your standards, everyone makes money - til the stuff hits the fan because the chickens have come home...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama’s intimate relationship with ACORN has &lt;b&gt;not been without publicity&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah.....wasn't it Jesse Jackson who said he wanted to cut off Obama's nuts, earlier last week?  Ok, if ACORN is one.....what's the other?  The former Peanut President?  

Anyway, good post!</description>
