RICO! Where are you? We need you now!

Recent film clips showing the corrupt organization ACORN's workers advising a documentary filmmaker and his associate posing as an pimp and a prostitute to set-up underage protitution brothels in several cities across the USA has hit the fan. No the filmmaker isn't Michael Moore. No, he's too busy making propaganda/indoctrination films like Capitalism: A Love Story for the already indoctrinated Neo-Com (Neo-Communist) choir. [NN: See below, Short Takes: OLD NEWS FLASH: Fat Cat Moore declares Capitalism to be “Evil”! Yawn, Ho Hum.]

USA Today catalogued the group's problems as follows:

• In California, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger called Wednesday for an investigation of an incident that was captured on film in San Bernardino, according to the Los Angeles Times.
• In Georgia, Gov. Sonny Perdue on Thursday said the state won't renew a contract with ACORN. The group has a $104,000 contract with the state Department of Human Services, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
• In Minnesota, Gov. Tim Pawlenty ordered state agencies to immediately stop using ACORN's services, even though there isn't any state money going to the group according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
• In Washington, ACORN cancelled an economic forum scheduled for last night after a conservative website urged people to attend, the Daily Herald reported. [NN: Hmm, maybe they're afraid of the town hall "mobocracy" a.k.a., "democracy."]
• Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio and Senate Seat Candidate scolded Gov. Charlie Crist for not being outraged by the group's past election activities, the Miami Herald reports today. Rubio sent Crist a letter criticizing the governor for being -- in Rubio's words -- "unconcerned" about the group's activities during last year's elections.  The Herald says that Crist dismissed his party's complaints about ACORN at the time by saying: "As we're coming into the closing days of any campaign, there are some who enjoy chaos."

Of course, none of this shows the "audacity of hope" more than ACORN's alleged attempt to register Dallas Cowboys football team players among others as voters in Nevada.  Yet, ACORN seems until recently to gotten a pass with regard to voter fraud and other activities.  ACORN's other questionable activities are amply documented by The Washington Examiner. In a less than bold move after prodding by visual proof of corruption, Congress has cut off Federal Funds to ACORN.  White House Spokesmouth and Family Guy doppelgänger, Robert Gibbs declined to say whether President Barack Obama supports the congressional votes. “The president shares the outrage of what he saw on the tape, and I’d leave it at that,” Gibbs told reporters.  [NN: More like, "Damn they got caught!"]

It's futile to think that Attorney General Eric Holder would prosecute Friends of Obama (FOO) like ACORN under the RICO Act.  [NN: Holder worked on illegal trader with Iran,  Marc Rich's pardon by then President Bill Clinton. Rich's former wife made large donations to the Democrat Party and the Clinton Library during Clinton's tenure, it has been alleged by some of Clinton's critics that Rich's pardon had been de facto bought. It was also suggested by some that the attractive ex-Mrs. Rich may have used other methods of persuation upon Lothario Clinton.]  The RICO Act is the acronymn for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.  It is a United States federal law that provides for strong criminal penalties and a civil cause of action against acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise. The RICO Act was passed in section 901(a) as part of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (Pub.L. 91-452, 84 Stat. 922, enacted October 15, 1970). RICO is codified in 18 U.S.C. § 1961–1968, as amended. 

Given the extensive reach of the ACORN organization -- USA, Peru, Argentina, Mexico, India, Canada -- RICO appears to be the right solution at the right time for political racketeers like ACORN. But under the Obama/Democrook Culture of Corruption, FOOs like ACORN seem to be free to abuse the law and plunder the US Treasury.
