Ah, Those Crazy Grassroots OWS Folks!

Les sends in this interesting little tidbit:

House Oversight Chairman Calls for Probe into ACORN Role in Occupy Wall Street
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is calling for an investigation into allegations that ACORN-related group New York Communities for Change "engaged in fraud through its participation in the Occupy Wall Street protests."

In a letter dated Monday, Issa, R-Calif., called for U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch of the Eastern District of New York to launch a probe into allegations first reported by FoxNews.com that NYCC may have "solicited donations from union members under false pretenses and misappropriated those funds to support the protesters."
They're really living dangerously if they're ripping off unions - that's a quick route to becoming part of the next sporting complex... The funny - and I don't mean '"ha-ha" funny - part is that there are still folks out there (mainstream media, I'm looking at yoooouuuuuu) that will claim with a straight face that the OccupySomething crowd is 100% grassroots and unaffiliated with any political affiliation or ideology. But those inconvenient facts keep getting in the way!

Now, what would really be a hoot would be to see this story get the same amount of coverage as, say, twenty year old reports of Herman Cain acting boorishly...

That is all.

Of course Occupy is a grassroots movement. But you'd be surprised what kind of crap grass can take root in.
