ACORN Organizers and Offices Face Series of Attacks

HeadlineOct 20, 2008

Attorneys for the community organizing group ACORN have notified the FBI and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division of several incidents where ACORN organizers and offices have been attacked. Last week, John McCain accused the group of possibly destroying the fabric of democracy by “perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country.” In Cleveland, Ohio, an ACORN organizer received a death threat after appearing on television. Meanwhile, vandals broke into the group’s Boston and Seattle offices and stole computers.
