Judge Him By The Company He Keeps

Joe Moore may deny affiliation with ACORN, the corrupt political action committee that is currently stirring up trouble in Rogers Park and the 49th Ward. But he cannot deny that they are doing dirty work for him. However, the ties between ACORN and the Democratic National Committee are demonstrable, and through the DNC we come to Moore. Moore is a member of the DNC. ACORN is an organization of "useful idiots," and they operate in a way that some CIA operatives do: They are seemingly "independent" in appearance but they follow orders. They operate in a way that gives their bosses "plausible deniability." ACORN is rotten, indeed. Read all about it, and know what kind of people support Joe Moore. Judge him by the company he keeps.

ACORN's history makes for pretty interesting reading. The Clinton Administration found that ACORN was misspending government grants designed to help counsel the poor. Although it seeks minimum wage increases in cities and states across the country -- ACORN sued the state of California to get out of paying its own employees the state minimum wage. ACORN's practices have corrupted our political process as well. It has engaged in questionable election activities for years—stretching back even to the organization's founding years in Arkansas . In recent years, as its political power has increased, so have instances of fraud. In the past few years, it has been investigated for election fraud in at least a dozen states. Want examples? In Florida, ACORN employees filed a false voter registration form for 68-year-old former St. Petersburg Democratic mayor Charles Schuh – amazingly, they registered him as a 30-year-old Republican woman. In Ohio , ACORN and its affiliate Project Vote submitted registration cards that had the highest rate of errors for any voter registration group. In Colorado , two ex-ACORN employees were convicted of turning in false registrations. The list goes on.
