Quote:ACORN Officials Scramble, Firing Workers and Shredding Documents, After Exposed as Players Behind Occupy Wall Street Protests

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.

NYCC also is installing surveillance cameras and recording devices at its Brooklyn offices, removing or packing away supplies bearing the name ACORN and handing out photos of Fox News staff with a stern warning not to talk to the media, the sources said.

Imagine that.

One wonders if Fox & Friends was the source for the "story".

What has ACORN ever done other than be the victim of a rightwing smear? They have certainly not been found to have committed any crime aside from the voices in your head.

Quote:“Now there’s no texting in the office, no phone calls in the office. They tell us to take our phone calls out into the waiting room where there’s an intercom, and then they turn on the intercom to hear our conversations. They’re installing new cameras and speakers around the building so they can hear everything."

Patriot Act Lite or a throw back to the KGB and Stasi?

ACORN did on the whole do some shady things, but nothing to the level the right would have you believe. But the attempt to include the former ACORN as some major player in the occupy movement is laughable at best and Rebel knows it.

This tiny NY group was formed after ACORN went out of business. Some of the former members reformed to try and carry on something they are passionate about. This is obviously some major no no in Rebels eyes. They should have just given up I presume.

NEWSFLASH! The OWS movement has many of the same goals that ACORN had. Why wouldn't you expect former ACORN workers to want to continue that fight? It's a big ship Rebby.

Exactly, then why is it newsworthy?

So are the accusations against Cain and that's front page news.

Because in the past they got their funding from the government. No idea who's funding them now but it seems a little fishy that an agency with strong ties to this administration is down in the protests stirring the pot.

Have those Acorn losers ever thought about getting a real job?

Some people have a passion to help others. Others like being pompous asses. It's all a matter of choice.

Unsourced??? While I can't say that is untrue about this supposed third woman, but the first two were paid off and signed a non-disclose agreement. That certainly qualifies for a source.

Signed a non-disclosure statement? Then how did we find out? What is the source of the facts as we know them?

Are you saying Acorn has a passion for helping others? Really?

Of course they do. Hookers, pimps, gang-bangers, yeah, they're all into helping.

And if Cain would have told the damned truth from the get go this story would have been gone by now.

That makes ZERO sense. Obama released his BC in 2008 and we're still talking about it. That racist dirtbag Arpaio as well as Perry have brought it up in the last two weeks alone.

Obama was telling the truth. He was born in Hawaii. #56 of the 57 states
