Organized Crime Syndicate Seeks to Consolidate Base in New York

What could possibly go wrong with the thugs at ACORN setting up permanent residence in New York.

Brooklynite Bertha Lewis is trying to make New York into ACORN's power base.

Lewis, CEO of the controversial community-outreach group, is looking to move central operations from New Orleans to the Empire State, former ACORN members say.

"They want to relocate to New York, where Bertha can consolidate her power," said Marcel Reid, an ACORN whistleblower who has asked the Department of Justice to investigate the group's mysterious finances.

Of course New York has just moved to freeze all contracts with the criminal empire, but that's probably just a cover until the recent furor dies down.

Here's Lewis on C-SPAN the other day. New York will no doubt welcome her with open arms (via Hot Air).



Meanwhile, ACORN defenders are becoming quite hysterical.
