Have any doubt what "ACORN" is code for with the teabaggers?
Check out this video from the rally on Sept 12. You would think all those conservatives would be proud of these young people for trying to make a capitalist buck in this situation, but they aren't. In fact, they're angry and run them off, they accuse them of being ACORN plants. Do you know how they know they must be ACORN plants? I'll bet you can guess.

1. I am listening to Glenn Beck (forgive me) and during his
9:30am segment, he and his guests compared ACORN to Abu Gharib. Unbelievable!

2. "ACORN" = "Teh bLaaaaaaaaacKs!"
Scratch a right winger, find a Klansman.

3. At one point in the video, the hysterical man following them calls
the young black man "boy".He forgot he wasn't at his local Klan meeting.

6. I can't even watch YouTube videos at work, but I know exactly what they think . . .
. . . when they get all twitchy and yelling when one mentions "ACORN". Just the other day, some right-winger drooled all over himself sending me the e-mail about the two ACORN workers that helped prostitutes launder their earnings. This is one of "those" who hates welfare, complains about "black privilege" and hates all things about hip-hop culture.

8. I work with a few people like that too, they know that they can't
come right out and complain about the n.....rs, so they use the term ACORN. I don't think they're really fooling anyone.

4. The old racist geezer who chased that girl around is a cowardly pig.
He reminded me of all the old racist thugs I have seen in the movies. Most recent example I saw was in the movie The Secret Life of Bees when Jennifer Hudson gets beat up by a guy who looked remarkably similar to that real life racist scumbag. So the new code word is "Acorn"? Wow those KKK think they are so clever.

7. But you are not going to defend those women's actions ,are you?
Because what they did was very disgusting and typical of hiring people willy-nilly. Dear Lord, I could have used that job and would have had ETHICS, with or without the "entrapment" of a hidden camera...Oh, and I would have dressed just a tad more professionally than they...:eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

11. What the hell are you going on about?
Please explain to me what these three "ACORN" people in the 9-12 video have to do with the women who were rightfully fired from ACORN?
How can that crowd's behavior be justified?
Watching those three pass through an angry crowd of 70,000 people, being yelled out the entire time, called "ugly?"
What the hell?
Is this really the sort of country you want to live in?
A country where people scream a small, vulnerable group off of their turf because of where they work?

You have absolutely no idea what ACORN means to those three people.
You have absolutely no clue about the nature of their particular jobs with ACORN.
You don't even have any proof that they were "ACORN" because that part is not on tape.
Why on earth would such a thing have even come up?

Those kids will NEVER forget this event.
Never forget the feelings of vulnerability, of hearing their mother called ugly before a jeering crowd.
What a disgusting group of people.
Truly reprehensible.
