I hate it when that happens. Looks like someone should be losing their tax exemption.

Officials with the revamped ACORN office in New York -- operating as New York Communities for Change -- have fired staff, shredded reams of documents and told workers to blame disgruntled ex-employees for leaking information in an effort to explain away a FoxNews.com report last week on the group’s involvement in Occupy Wall Street protests, according to sources

LOL - I laughed out loud.

“It was pretty funny. Jonathan told staff they don’t pay for protesters, but the people in the meeting who work there objected and said, ‘Wait, you pay us to go to the protests every day?’ Then Jonathan said ‘No, but that’s your job,’ and staffers were like, ‘Yeah, our job is to protest,’ and Westin said, ‘No your job is to fight for economic and social justice. We just send you to protest.’

“Staff said, ‘Yes, you pay us to carry signs.’ Then Jonathan says, ‘That’s your job.’ It went on like that back and forth for a while.”
 
Ahh yes, the ACORN boogeyman.

Again.

Breaking news by none other than Fox News. I'm sure they're presenting you a Fair and Balanced picture of what's going on.
 
Do you just not believe that ACORN is involved or do you just think it doesn't matter, pb and whoever else?
 
I love how quickly fox news is dismissed by people.

Led by Fox News, right-wing media have claimed that ACORN is playing a "behind [the] scenes role" in Occupy Wall Street, alleging that the group New York Communities for Change (NYCC) -- which is led by a former ACORN official -- is paying people to join protests and collecting money to fund OWS activities. But NYCC has flatly denied these claims, and ACORN -- which has been a right-wing media bogeyman for years -- disbanded in November 2010.
 
If the story is completely fabricated, then ACORN should totally sue Fox News for telling all of these lies...will they?

What was ACORN was a group of poor/low income people, please show me why/how they would pay to organize protestors. We are talking real world stuff here, not Glenn Beck conspiracies.

ACORN is a non-profit. Non-profits are prohibited from participating in partisan political activity. Their tax exemption isn't protected by the 1st Amendment.

It's lookin' like ACORN doesn't want to have to pay it's fair share in taxes. :lamo
