The Latest Acorn Victim – Uncovered
We’ll probably see this in Canada by year’s end – as property values continue their sharp decline, the foreclosures will start.
While it’s sad to see anyone foreclosed upon, the left’s use of these “victims” for their own agenda is appalling.
Thankfully, Acorn in Canada isn’t making too much headway… but they need to be stopped before they do. (Not to be confused with Acorn Canada). Acorn has already managed to soak one foundation in its startup attempt.
It’s all a good example of what Ann Coulter’s new book is about – where “they viciously attack all while wailing that they are the true victims.”
“Liberals always have to be the victims, particularly when they are oppressing others. Modern victims aren’t victims because of what they have suffered; they are victims of convenience for the Left. There’s no way to determine if an action is offensive by looking at the action. One must know who did it to whom, and whose side the most powerful people in America will take.”
Today Michelle Malkin does a great job of uncovering the truth about the Acorn home invasion program.
Here is what the MSM won’t be telling you about the so-called “victim” in that case, ACORN worker Donna Hanks — all based on public records and court documents.
According to real property data search information, Hanks bought the two-story home in the summer of 2001 for $87,000. At some point in the next five years, she re-financed the original home loan for $270,000.
Question: Where did all that money go?
The house initially went into foreclosure proceedings in the spring of 2006. In July 2006, Hanks filed for bankruptcy and agreed to a Chapter 13 plan which was served to the following creditors: Americas Servicing Co, Bank Of America, Chase, Covahey, Boozer, Devan & Dore, and Discover. She agreed to repay $10,500 in arrears, which resulted in a halt to the 2006 foreclosure.
In February 2008, Baltimore City Circuit Court records show a second foreclosure action was filed.
She had two years to pay what she owed. She failed to comply.
When she told local TV station WJZ that her evil bank raised her mortgage by $300 (”The mortgage went up $300 in one month”), she’s talking about the amount in arrears that she agreed to pay back.
While she was reneging on her mortgage IOUS, she managed to collect rent on her basement (for which she was taken to court) and rack up a criminal record on charges of theft and second degree assault.

UPDATE: In the latest developments on the Baltimore ACORN break-in, ACORN activist Donna Hanks was arrested and criminally charged.
