ACORN Still Acorn

Even under another name.

Affiliates of the once mighty liberal activist group ACORN are remaking themselves in a desperate bid to ditch the tarnished name of their parent organization and restore federal grants and other revenue streams that ran dry in the wake of a video scandal.

The letters A, C, O, R and N are coming off office doors from New York to California. Business cards are being reprinted. New signs with new names are popping up in front of offices.

The breakaways are trying to shed the scandal that emerged six months ago when videos showed some ACORN workers giving tax tips to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute. But while their names are different, most groups have kept the same offices and staff.

  1. I have an idea for a new name.  Federation of Righteous Activists Undermining Democracy. 

    Hmm…what does that acronym look like?

  3. Too bad. They should keep the name as a screw you to the neanderthals on the right.

  5. Oh, and did you make some smarmy comment on another post regarding “sophmoric” remarks.  Look in the mirror, guy.

  6. Keith where oh where can you get off calling me a Neanderthal? I think if you are going to call names you need to be creative. I have small children and when I feel the need to have a tirade I tend to go with the simple: useless, pantywaisted, do nothing, union loving, oxygen wasting, public money sucking, future piece of worm poop. The 3 yr old boy keys in on the poop and giggles, it makes me think and be creative, and I am pretty certain that I can assure others that I did not pull that off of some liberal or in my case fully thought out, reasoned, and intelligent party’s talking points that have been repeated over and over by every talking news heads and kosite concerning the other side.

    Try it. They say that mental exercise staves off mental problems later in life.
