U.S.: ACORN’s top nut says she’s “outraged” by the pimp video

  • Any organization is not entirely perfect. I was outraged by it. Everyone should be, and I can understand how the Congress was also.
  • ACORN Chief organizer Bertha Lewis • On the video that completely decimated her organization’s reputation. She says that she’s looking into reforming the organization, and that anyone who’s “too stupid” to realize why stuff like this is a bad idea will be let go. In other news, Obama also favors an investigation into ACORN. Great job, wannabe pimps. • source

  • A lawsuit’s coming And for what it’s worth, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles targeted the organization. Giles says she “saw the ACORN Housing location in Baltimore as a target — the den of a giant corrupt lion.” ACORN plans to sue both Fox News and BigGovernment.com. source
