The once mighty community activist group ACORN announced Monday it is folding amid falling revenues — six months after video footage emerged showing some of its workers giving tax tips to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute.
"It's really declining revenue in the face of a series of attacks from partisan operatives and right-wing activists that have taken away our ability to raise the resources we need," ACORN spokesman Kevin Whelan said.
But I can see them coming back in another more subtle form in the coming years:
Several of its largest affiliates, including ACORN New York and ACORN California, broke away this year and changed their names in a bid to ditch the tarnished image of their parent organization and restore revenue that ran dry in the wake of the video scandal.
So they are still going on and helping people cover up their sex slavery businesses but with a new name and clean books. They will probably have the same people working for them as well. Well as long as people stay vigilant then it doesn't matter what form these vipers take.
