Criminal charges filed against ACORN, two employees - Monday, May 4, 2009 | 12:12 p.m. - Las Vegas Sun
Wait..

Just so people know.. the reason that those two people were arrested was that they created an incentive program that gave bonuses to people that registered 20 or more people.

That's the crime there, for what it is.

Throughout 2008, ACORN employed canvassers to register people to vote in Nevada, the complaint said. ACORN paid the canvassers between $8 and $9 an hour, but made continued employment and continued compensation based on the canvasser registering 20 voters per shift. Those who failed to sign up 20 voters per shift were terminated, the complaint said.

From July 27 through Oct. 2 ACORN also provided additional compensation under a bonus program called "Blackjack" or "21+" that was based on the total number of voters a person registered.
The more you keep trying to build ACORN into this Mafia like criminal enterprise, the dumber you look.

In high school I had the same quotas for pawning lines of credit on customers at Target, and my grad school room mate had similar requirements for new accounts at E-Trade.

Apparently it's perfectly fine to set quotas to push credit onto 19 year olds, but it's not okay to have an incentive program for voter registration.

You really do see the world as black and white don't you? That is the only explanation for your strange views on shit.

Not a single person is in here saying ACORN did nothing wrong. You said that. What we are saying is so the fuck what? It doesn't make that big a deal that an organization has a couple(or quite a bit) of retard in it.

Let's apply your logic to another organization. Hmmm, let's see, how about the United States Armed Forces.

Should we shut them down because of the systemic problems with abuse, suicide, corruption and law-breaking that goes on? Now remember Astro, based on your line of thinking, if you try to deny that, you are basically saying that the military does nothing wrong ever, so choose your words wisely (lol).

when there is a systematic problem in a necessary organization they restructure and straighten shit out. when you have a systematic problem in a needless organization and its president sees nothing wrong with its actions and begins legal action against those that report its wrongdoings. then you have an organization that needs to go down the tubes.

Alright. So who is going to decide what is needed and what is needless? Got a list? Can you give me examples of everything ACORN did and why every single one of those actions were needless? Yeah I'm really not holding my breath on you replying to that part.

Needless organization? Tell that to those making minimum wage or those who are no longer discriminated by banks simply due to their zip code.

In the mid‐1970s, ACORN’s St. Louis chapter began a campaign
against “redlining,” the banking practice of denying mortgage loans to predominantly
minority neighborhoods, even to potential borrowers with sufficient income to pay back
the loan.

ACORN has played a leading role in building the “livingwage” movement, working with unions, faith‐based groups, and other community and civil rights organizations to help lift the working poor out of poverty. Two decades ago, the concept of a living wage was a radical idea. Today, it is part of the mainstream public debate. The movement was spurred by Congress’s failure to raise the national minimum wage for almost ten years (after raising it to $5.15 an hour in 1997). The momentum for change was also catalyzed by the proliferation of low‐wage jobs, and by city governments’ efforts to contract public services to private firms paying lower wages and benefits that prevail in the public sector. Most Americans now agree that people working full‐time should not be trapped in poverty.

I know what the legal actions were, but I wanted you to be the one to link them so I could point something out. You threw a giant hissy fit at the smallest hint that ACORN committed a crime but, when you are confronted with the idea that the ones that caught them might also have committed a crime, you turn the other way. Shouldn't your retard logic apply to EVERYONE Astrocreep? So why aren't you calling for the dismantling of the BigGovernment.com website, the arrest of the filmmakers and the fining of everyone that ever replaying the videos? Oh, that's right, you're a straight up retard that can't even fathom the words you are reading at this very moment. I can't wait to see what half sentence, rim-shot verbal AIDS you grace us with next.

well ACORN has been commiting more than a hint of crimes for many years now and its finally catching up to them. my "hissy fit" has been going on for over 4 years on these assnuggets so im not just getting riled up over it now because fox news is reporting it. especially since i havent had the fox news signal on my directtv foir over 3 months. i caught all of ACORNS little stunts on CNN. btw if a crime is being committed then you go after everyone involved but dont whitewash the whole thing becuase you think if someone else does it then its ok for others to fuck with the law as well. what you want is anarchy and thats not what im about. so direct your babble at someone else sir.

No what I want is for people like you to apply your logic across all boards, at all times and stay fucking consistent. If you are this angry I can't imagine how pissed you must be at DynCorp, Blackwater or KBR. I bet your rage for them is so seething you have to stay medicated just to control the rage.

But we both know that's not true is it Astro? You get selectively angry about things that go against your worldview and choose to simply ignore everything else.

This whole ACORN shit is funny because its just a big distraction meant to get people angry and oppose anything labeled "Obama" (cause ACORN=Obama right?). Its like a magician waving his right hand in your face so you don't pay attention to what hes doing with his left hand.

Obviously the people caught in these videos are dumbfucks and they've been fired, funding has been cut, and so on. Continuing to wail on this dead horse for weeks on end really doesn't get us anywhere, and anyone who claims to love this country as much as Glenn Beck (tears version) does would let it go if they are sincere.
