See ya!

“The community organizing group Acorn announced Monday that it would close all its remaining state affiliates and field offices by April 1.

The organization is “developing a plan to resolve all outstanding debts, obligations and other issues,” said a statement released by the group.

Acorn has been battered by criticism from the right and has lost federal money and private donations since a video sting was publicized last fall. Acorn employees were shown in the videos advising two young conservative activists — posing as a pimp and a prostitute — how to conceal their criminal activities.

In reaction to the videos, the Census Bureau ended its partnership with the organization for this year’s census, the Internal Revenue Service dropped the group from its Voluntary Income Tax Assistance program, and Congress voted to cut off all grants to the organization.

In recent years, the group has also been dogged by mismanagement and criticism — mostly from conservatives — for its handling of voter registration drives.”

Leave it to the Ny Slimes to gloss over ACORN’s numerous sins and blame it all on conservatives. Glossing over the mulitude of voter fraud cases – many of which occurred during the 2008 campaign season, corruption over the years, ACORN will go down as one of the most corrupt organizations in history.

Good riddance on this blight on American politics.
