As for seizing abandoned properties; again, I don't see what the beef is. The property was abandoned, deteriorating, not benefiting anyone, so people squatted.

And BTW, squatting is not in and of itself illegal.

Again, my point is that ACORN does not support republican positions, so people try to demonize them by making all these claims tha they are immoral, criminal, and taking federal money. All that other BS that can be said of replublican organizations too. But somehow it is worse because ACORN does it.

The things I brought up about ACORN are not made up, exaggerated or false claims. They are some of the reasons that I do not agree with ACORN. You asked this question;

You guys seem to be so afraid of ACORN - the latest right-wing boogyman. Why?

I answered your question with a handful of legitimate reasons why I do not personally agree with them.

Now you are standing up for squatters??? I am co-owner of an investment property where many older homes are being torn down to make room for new offices. We are sitting on this property due to the economy right now. I would be more than pissed off if I found out that someone was "squatting" in this vacant, run down house after I have worked hard to be part of it.

I Don't know what else to say except I find it amusing that you can't even take off the blinders for one minute to admit that some of these things are pretty sketchy at best.
