The news has it today that young Mr. James O’Keefe and Andrew Breitbart have laid low ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. ACORN is dissolved, they say.
Don’t believe a word of it. Yes, it is obvious that ACORN was materially hurt by the expose showing its propensity towards criminality. But the organization is not dead. It it merely rebranding.
Tucked into the Politico story, for instance, was the admission that nothing is really changing but the name.
According to a snitch from ACORN, Politico posted the following as an update to its story of ACORNs “demise.”
“As far as the work in the communities and policy campaigns, no one will notice the difference,” the source said. “It’s people who still believe in their basic mission of fighting for poor people.”
So, nothing much is changing. These people are still stealing millions from the federal government, they are still in a position to continue their campaign of vote fraud in order to elect left-wing extremists, and they are still the shock troops of the Democrat Party.
ACORN is not dead, it just has a new branch.
