Guess we can add another radical organization to Osama's Phone-a-Friend list...Guess that's why he attempted to stay out of the Washington fray when the financial shit was hitting the taxpayer fan. By the time he got to D.C., the ACORN nut was out of the bag...not much he could say at this important McCain-bashing stage of the process, without someone pointing-out obama's intimate relationship with the group.

I'm kinda curious how many more of these subversive organizations has he really associated and imbeded himself with?

ACORNâ??s Nutty Regime for Cities by Sol Stern, City Journal Spring 2003
Community organizing among the urban poor has been an honorable American tradition since Jane Addamsâ??s famous Hull House dramatically uplifted the late-nineteenth-century Chicago slums, but ACORN and Addams are on different planets philosophically. Hull House and its many successors emphasized self-empowerment: the poor, they thought, could take control of their lives and communities through education, hard work, and personal responsibility.

Kinda sounds like Trinity United Church of Christ. (obama was a 'community organizer' for both the church and ACORN) But I'm sure to take him at his word, that after twenty years of associations...he didn't 'inhale' the rhetoric from either organization. :jointsmile:

Sure nice to see more of the background of the "change" politician.

ACORN Issue Fueling Bailout Opposition (The Politico) Earlier today, when House Republican leadership framed its opposition to the bailout bill as it currently stands, a principal objection focused on the group ACORN, which the e-mail alert called "the scandal-tarnished 'community organizing group'" -- with scare quotes in the original.
