Behar missed the dripping irony....I thought the party line is that Hispanics are all hard working........The so-called joke sounded like an admission against interest to moi.

Ethnic comedians always run down their own group. From the inside, it's allowed and it's funny. From the outside, it's an attack.

She works and her husband don't. Of course he works but this is how a meme slides into the group consciousness.

ACORN insider lays out the 'stealth socialism' strategy Thomas Lifson May 30, 2010 Anita Moncrief has written a worthwhile personal account of her involvement with ACORN, and effectively lays out the entire strategy the Alinksy left, and its chosen instrument, Barack Obama, to "fundamentally change" America. Moncrief describes the moment in 2008, when she went from unwitting to witting, in terms of the strategy to make America into a people's socialist republic. As an ACORN insider my indoctrination as a socialist was a slow but steady progression from radical liberalism to embracing the stealth socialist methods that had made ACORN a powerful force in American electoral politics. Two years ago, in the mist of a heated presidential election year, I noticed a Facebook page of Socialism 2008. The graffiti-like picture beckoned young Socialists to Chicago, Illinois on June 19th, 2008. I RSVPed for the event on Facebook without fully understanding what had just taken place. The line between radical, liberal Democrat and socialist was almost invisible at this point. Working for ACORN/Project Vote facilitated my crossing the "socialist"threshold and I had become what insiders termed "one of the true believers." True believers were instrumental in the survival of ACORN and the process of making an employee a true believer began on the very first day. The entire essay, appearing at Hot Air is worth reading. She names names and doesn‘t mince words. Here is one tidbit: hotair.com From October 2005 until 2008, I did fundraising work with ACORN and used political donor lists. All Democrat: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Democratic National Committee. When I appeared as a guest on "The O'Reilly Factor" last year, I said that ACORN had served for years as an unofficial arm of the Democratic Party, but Bill O'Reilly didn't discuss that with me. Ignoring it is exactly what the stealth socialists want. Moncrief discusses the troubles facing the stealth socialist coalition now: ... it seems impossible that the coalition that put Obama in the White House and gave Democrats huge majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives will continue to work smoothly together now that Obama and the Congressional Democrats are in control and America is learning what Obama really meant by the seductive-sounding "hope and change." ACORN needed the cloak of stealth socialism to maintain its hold on the poor. ACORN's image is synonymous with blacks and other minorities and the race card has become the last bastion of its "hope." Moncreif then skewers the real "executive suites" leadership of ACORN, with a picture of all white faces taken at an executive "retreat" for ACORN. A good read.
