ACORN founder Wade Rathke answers questions about recent ACORN scandals, during a question and answer period following a discussion of his new book, Citizen Wealth.

Big Government's Maura Flynn starts it off, and NRO's Mark Hemingway presses him on his brother Dale and the "misappropriated" million $ cover up.

  • yes i'm saying ACORN, SEIU, TIDES, APPOLLO, and Obama equals The Legion Of Doom.

  • Wade Rathke demonstrates to reporters why Acorn is so prone to scandal. His solution to ethical violations is to sweep them under the rug. That is exactly how leadership sends a signal the organization that it is ok to not "do right".

    What he seems to be saying is this: the problems of Acorn are not of Acorns making but rather those who would "weaponize" its mistakes.

    In other words even now he does not hold Acorn accountable for its actions.

  • Hunt the rathke brothers down and hang them from the nearest tree

  • 7:24 community organizing is "redemptive". Sounds like a cult.

  • Trying to under mine the standing of most governments will get you shot! I hope he goes international and focus'es on south america! Go see the kind of hard ball those guy will play!

  • This guy(Wade Rathke) is a slimy two faced liar.

  • community organizing has it own culture?

    "we understand that everyone has a lot of things going on, but we all come together to make something wonderful. Now our first order of Business... how do we destroy Superman?"

    that's what it sounded like to me.

  • News to Wade: Obama is distancing himself from you now.

  • Rathke is a slippery snake. I do not think in listening to his comments that he sees a problem with how ACORN does business. He can justify the means, always. It was interesting on how much he talked about redemption. This guy is not done yet. Corruption is something he does not understand. To quote the from song . " Let the Bodies hit the Floor" Nothing wrong with me.

  • ACORN isn't the only maggot infesting the belly of the beast.
