This sort of story makes me physically ill.

Want to hear Mach chime in on this, since he's such an advocate for "the people" and the "middle class".

Disgusting.

I always wondered where and why there was $1.5 million to provide cover for the ACORN founder, Wade Rathke, that he had embezzled.

Quote:In 2008 Ratner bailed ACORN out to the tune of $1.5 million dollars after the news broke that Dale Rathke, brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke, had embezzled nearly $1 million from the group back in 2000 and the national leadership had covered the crime up for eight years. The financial fallout from that scandal threatened to ruin ACORN until Ratner stepped in with a $1 million load and a $500,000 grant. This desperately-needed cash kept ACORN alive and allowed it to keep providing cover for Ratner’s corporate welfare and eminent domain abuse.
