"There are 400,000 people who work for the organization. If ACORN is as corrupt as Republicans think it is, then there should be targets much higher up to expose"

Oh, there are targets higher up, Rcade. But face it, the media and ranking democrats have been real supportive of ACORN. Like you, they act like ACORN is a stellar organization and something akin to "The Little Sisters of the Poor." Let's not overlook the fact that they support democrats and bear a lot of responsibility for the housing collapse too. They're at it AGAIN, by the way:

"ACORN has done great work for impoverished people for what, 40 years or more in this country?"

LOL...and democrats...don't forget their good work for democrats, LOL! MORE bucks for ACORN in the works.

"A number of experts believe that aggressive enforcement of the 1970s-era Community Reinvestment Act contributed to the mortgage meltdown, and thus to the greater financial crisis, by requiring financial institutions to lend to unqualified borrowers. Now, the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives is responding to that situation by proposing to expand the scope and power of the Community Reinvestment Act.

This morning House Financial Services Committee chairman Rep. Barney Frank held a hearing on H.R. 1479, the "Community Reinvestment Modernization Act of 2009." The bill's purpose is "to close the wealth gap in the United States" by increasing "home ownership and small business ownership for low- and moderate-income borrowers and persons of color." It would extend CRA's strict lending requirements to non-bank institutions like credit unions, insurance companies, and mortgage lenders. It would also make CRA more explicitly race-based by requiring CRA standards to be applied to minorities, regardless of income, going beyond earlier requirements that applied solely to low- and moderate-income areas."

"Until then, I'll take this faux outrage about AORN for what it is worth.... a partisan political distraction."

A "distraction," that's what it is Corker...right! LOL

Anyone spending time defending ACORN

" ...is so soaked in their own partisan piss that they are likely to drown."

Describing yourself, Corker? LOL!

"I think we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg."

Well get ready, they're trying to do it some more.

"Dems push expanded Community Reinvestment Act; deny Act's role in mortgage meltdown; GOP cites ACORN connection"
