Acorn is our incarnation of a key component of the “transition”. They are the Venezuelan equivalent of the Circulos Bolivarianos, “community organized” Chavez street enforcers. They are thugs that intimidate and terrorize their population for the regime.
In Cuba, they are called Comites para la defensa de la revolucion or CDRs. All socialist governments have some version of them. In Ecuador, Correa has them as does Morales in Bolivia. In Nicaragua they rely on the local community Sandinista organizations to terrorize their commmunity. Ditto in Argentina…see a pattern?
Community organizers institutionalize these thugs once they get into power in order to keep the dissenters terrorized and intimidated. Its arrogant to think it can’t happen here because it already has.

I don't think this is a crazy, tinfoil hat notion. I think it's something we need to pay attention to, and be prepared to counter as necessary.

ACORN may be a training-ground for a future American version of the French Revolution-era "Comite de Salut Public" ("Committee For Public Safety").THAT'S where the roots of modern-political-thuggery-under-"benign"-cloak began..."RICO" laws obviously won't be enforced,so..."Jump,froggy,jump!"
