I agree. That is what I was trying to say but you said it better. I just wanted to say there are two sides and the way the list was reading, it was just focused on one side or group being bad. And I also have to say that I don't think ACORN is fair and balanced. It might have been at one time but it sure isn't now. It leans to the left and basically works for them now. They try to put them in to every bill as pork every chance they get. |

I am not aware of any during the last 20 years all of the whackos have gone over to the right wing extremist they ( the RWEs ) have become a whacko moron magnet. Whether it be Ted Bundy, Tim McVeigh , or Oliver North the freakazoids have all been drawn to the right wing extremist cesspool. |

Me neither, which is why I was asking. Seems nobody else can either? |

The KKK was a bad example in that ACORN has not killed anyone. The only comparison is that both ACORN and the KKK have an agenda, gather in large groups and attempt to sway people with their work. You are jumping too fast to defend ACORN. Yes, ACORN has an agenda and it leans to the left. They gather and support the left and it sways elections as we have just seen. The people they put in office make the laws. Right now many people feel the laws are starting to lean towards a social state which are basically laws of gifts and handouts and paybacks to a large group of people. Their vote is bought and paid for. I wonder, if you looked up the record and tracked how many times ACORN put the left into office , or gathered around a local business like a lending bank and forced them to grant loans to a certain group of people who basically could not afford the darn thing, helping to create the housing issue the rest of us have to deal with now. I wonder how many times you would find the left party and law makers trying to put ACORN in bills as pork for funding? I wonder how many people of ACORN of registered left? I wonder how much money ACORN gets from the government? Who pays them? I wonder how much ACORN donates to public officals and is it more left or right? I wonder how many times ACORN has had people working for them and forging paper work that would corrupt elections and put the wrong people in office? We only caught this one, but what about the others? I wonder if ACORN has now grown into a beast with so many heads that what might have started as a good thing has now become corrupt? I wonder. |

Umm, Ayers, the under ground, black panthers, etc oh and btw... the KKK were started by the Democratic party, don't try and put that extreme hate group on the right or fox. They belong to the left with the rest of their radical groups. |

ACORN, the organization, have not been convicted of any wrongdoing and have operated within the law. They do not profess to be a bi-partisan or non-partisan group, nor do they have to.

How is it you only can find fault in the extreme right? Are you suggesting there is not an extreme left? Why don't you call out the issues that are on the extreme left? You don't think greed or corruption can happen on the left? It was extreme greed and corruption that has put ACORN is question for trying to rig an election and who know how many other times they have done that. Jeses would not want any type of evil from any one side. But even Jesus told the blind person to believe and do his part. He told those who could not walk, to get up and walk. Jesus was not about walking around just handing out money to the village that sat around doing nothing feeling sorry for themselves. Jesus was about love and helping one antoerh but also to help yourself, living up to your potential and helping those around you. This housing market crash started back with Jimmy Carter. Bill Clinton carried it on. And Barney Franks and Cris Dogg over sea it. They put laws into place that force lenders to loan to people who could not afford them and now we are all having to pay for it. Yes, both sides have good and bad. That is the point to this thread, that list the census was putting together was leaning to one side. |

Again you are coming up with examples that are 30-40 years old. How about some recent examples? What "left wing" ideals do the KKK espouse? The Dixiecrats were a long time ago...and they abandoned the Democrats and joined the GOP back in 1948. Just an FYI...we are now in the latter half of 2009. |

Come on SeaWitch, you know darn well that ACORN has some issues with regard to their employees being apart of fraud. That is not to say that all of ACORN is bad, but it needs to seriously be looked at. And yes, ACORN has a problem from within if this is normal practice with regard to fraud. You are asking me to believe that this was only the action of a few people this one time and something tells me that is not totally true. You all that can't admit that ACORN might have a few issues are like the parent that attacks the teacher and the school, because the teather tells them they have a naughty child that has been acting up in class. |

Dixiecrats were right wing extremist and yes they do go over to the GOP In 1968 when the Dixiecrats found out they were no longer going to be able to subjugate the good people of the south they went over to the GOP where they were welcomed with open arms. For a long time now the GOP has been the party of divisiveness, hate, and greed where people of that ilk are made to feel good by telling them thy are doing Gods work. Thank God that by Nov of 08 the good and descent American people had had enough and rebelled and drove the despots from Washington. Just as the brave British people of all walks and stations of life went across the English Channel to save the British Army from the clutches of another despot at Dunkirk the brave people of all walks and stations of life saved America in Nov of 08. During the 8 years of shame, disgrace and dishonor a few brave Americans stood up for freedom, justice and honor against the most corrupt regime this nation has ever had to suffer. They subjected themselves to ridicule, economic ruin at the hands of the right wing extremist and untold assaults on their ability to make a living for themselves and their families. I have the greatest respect for the few brave Hurricane and Spitfire pilots who stood up against Hitler’s thugs. I have the same respect for the few brave Americans who stood up to the thugs of our own home grown despotic regime. Thank God that we are interring a brighter time filled with hope, a respect for freedom and a desire for justice and honor. This message has been edited. Last edited by: 6837602, |

Hey Fightdirector, Sorry to hear about what happen to your father, his home, church and friends. This is the first I am even hearing about this taking place. I would never take the side of anyone killing in God's name. That is not a left or a right issue to me. I would not take the side of Bill Ayers who blew up those buildings and killed people because of his radical thoughts towards government either. I think you can make a point or your thoughts known without resorting to killing, don't you? Even if we are talking about illegal residents, that is no reason to kill. I do think our laws have to be respected and ALL should have to come here legally just like I have to have permission when I go to another country and obey their laws. But you don't have to burn down homes and kill people to want immigration control. |

And the Army has had issues with some of its soldiers raping and killing innocent civilians...the organization ACORN is being vilified for the actions of a VERY FEW of its thousands and thousands of employees. LOL...and you don't think ACORN has been "looked at"? Where are the convictions? What "practice"? Turning in all voter registrations they receive from their employees? Another FYI...they are required to turn in EVERY voter registration card...it is up to the Registrar to sort out which registrations are legitimate or not. And yet none has been found to date. Not a single charge or conviction of the organization.

Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? |
Thanks for educating me, I had no idea the Bush admin had wrote a document warning of Left Wing extremists. {/sarcasm} This discussion is about the current census bureau documents stating that they don't believe law enforcement or right wing groups (not specifying extremist groups) can be trusted to tell people that the census is coming up. Do you think it is right for law enforcement to be treated the same as the KKK? |

I would say today, after all these years later, the left have learned a better way to control and manipulate without resorting to violence. They just organise and put people into office that then make the laws and enforce their agenda on the rest of society. Even if the majority of a state votes twice against it, the people that have been put into office by such radical groups will attempt to override such a vote by a majority. Also, they have gathered in large numbers and formed radical protest at such business establishments as banks, mom and pop shops, dining establishments and any others who might be against the left agenda. Peta is about as violent as I can think of right now. They have broken into pet places and destroyed property, they have thrown paint on people wearing fur, etc I think we might see a little more aggression coming from both sides with regard to the gay movement. This last vote in California, an old lady came out with her cross to protest and the gay community lost it on her and hit it out of her hands and surrounded her and yelled at her and then a few from the other side came in to push them back off of her. It was all very sad, but I could see where this might get even more physical in the future. Just to say, the left might have found other ways of controlling people and pushing their agenda but that does not make them any less radical or manipulative than the right. I think there is enough of that on both sides to go around. This message has been edited. Last edited by: usa_girl, |

"just organise and put people into office that then make the laws" How dare the people “organize and put people into office then make Laws” don’t they know that only the right wing extremist know what is best for them and only right wing extremist should be in a law making position, don’t they even know that the right wing extremist belong to a super race and we should bow down to them, that the right wing extremist are our betters and we should not challenge their evil right wing extremist agenda of hate and greed how stupid of the good and descent people of America to participate in a democracy. Just as America’s greatest generation would never bow down to Hitler or Tojo I will never bend a knee for these right wing extremist who brought us the 8 years of shame, disgrace, and dishonor. I will as I have done all of my life fight them until I take the big dirt nap. |

OK, let's try this another way. First let me start by saying that one bad apples does not mean you throw out the bunch. I get that. Now, do you think ACORN has any responsibility in the people they hire, in the training of those people and the supervision of those employees? True, ACORN gathers the votes and turns them all in. Well, I am going to take your word for that because I can't honestly say they turn in every card for how many elections? But I will give them the benefit of the doubt on that. As you say, they have not been convicted. But have they ever even been challanged or looked at? How many other times might this have happened and we just didn't know about it? You say, it is the registrar that needs to make sure all are valid. You don't think having them overwhelmed by so many fraudulant votes, so many system that is put in place to protect us from this type of corruption is not aiding to the fraud? Just like so many other social systems and services that are abused and overwhelmed by fraudulant people that it can't focus on the valid issues or needs. I would think if you are behind the group as much as you seem to be that you more than anyone would want those people responsible to be prosecuted and removed from ACORN and you more than anyone would want ACORN to be more accountable for the people that represent them. I always thought ACORN was for all the communtiy not just one side. As an Independent, it is good to have their agenda exposed so in the future I will know and others will know, they don't represent all. Not that it is bad to have a liberal group to represent their agenda, I just want to know that upfront and not slipped in after the fact in the form of pork. Before this last election, I did not even know what ACORN was or what pork was and now I do and so thank goodness for Fox exposing the other side. They might not always get it right, but at least now I know that ACORN would not be representing me or the Independent vote and that their agenda is strictly for getting their people in office to push forward their social programs. |

Oh don't be so dramatic. Unlike you, I know both sides are radical and corrupt. And yes, how dare they on both sides not be up front with what the real agenda is and hide it under all these organizations. As for your racist remarks, I don't want to bow down to the left socialist dictator way of life, I don't want to bow down to the right corruption but why don't you all stand up with me, in the middle as an Independent and make both parties be accountable to all the people and not just a one sided party and agenda. |
