Serve.gov Scrubs ACORN Listings from Its Site | |
2009-09-24 | |
Since first reporting that Serve.gov was listing activist positions with ACORN it seems now that all ACORN listings have been scrubbed from the taxpayer-funded site without any explanation as to why they were on it in the first place. The government was using our taxpayer dollars to advertise for volunteer opportunities to promote the president's partisan agenda via a corrupt organization under investigation for voter registration fraud, among other things. Initially you could type "ACORN" into the search field on Serve.gov and various listings from planting trees to volunteering to get out the vote in Ohio, for ACORN, would appear in the results. It's important to note that several ACORN positions were listed directly on the federally-funded Serve.gov -- not just on the AllforGood.org website. The act of removing these listings indicates that Serve.gov knew it was a) wrong to use a federal website to funnel volunteers to campaign for the president and DNC and, 2) bad for them to be seen further associating with ACORN in light of the recently released videos combined with ongoing investigations.
We've heard the audio from the now-infamous NEA call that asks for sympathetic artists to allow their skills to be co-opted by the administration so that they may push their agenda in a subtler manner. On the call we heard people like Buffy Wicks and Nell Abernathy mention Serve.gov and United We Serve together when discussing the topic of volunteer recruitment. The White House has not offered an apology nor explanation as to why taxpayers were paying for a federal website to push an agenda that half the country opposes. This, coupled with the NEA scandal, shows that this administration hasn't abandoned its goal of using subterfuge to raise synthetic support for its agenda and will use any means possible. | |

#1 Don't worry Commies. ACORN and it's hydra affiliates can change names faster than a banned Pakistani jihad group. |
