Group operating out of small building donated $33 million to Obama campaign

Fox News’ Glenn Beck may have uncovered another twist to a series of ACORN’s alleged scandals when he revealed on his show that the group’s main affiliate is operating out of a former New Orleans funeral home and bringing in millions of taxpayer dollars.

The Service Employees International Union’s New Orleans headquarters location that also houses ACORN is supposed to be home to more than 270 related corporations and non-profits.

“Does that former funeral home look big enough to you to house 270 organizations?” Beck asked. “The owner of the building is a company whose partners are – oh my gosh! – Wade and Dale Rathke.”

Currently, both ACORN as an organization and/or its members are under indictment in Pennsylvania,  and Nevada where they racked up a whopping 39 felony counts.

In the mean time, the Conyers investigation of ACORN has inexplicably been dropped, while ACORN continues to enjoy the full support of congressional democrats and Barney Frank.
