Disgraced ACORN founder Wade Rathke is urging Catholics to quit their church

President Obama isn't the only leftist to declare war on the Catholic church.

Disgraced ACORN founder Wade Rathke is urging Catholics to quit their church:

In the fall from grace of one institution after another, religious bodies have been on a steady decline for a generation.  No institution claims more members and fills less pews now that the Catholic Church on any given Sunday, nor has any outfit taken more of a licking in the public perception.  The inability to effectively manage the staff at the boundary lines between practice and principle has led to some dioceses declaring bankruptcy, multi-million dollar damage settlements, and a general uneasiness about how faith and flock have been stewarded by priests.  Couple all of that with a rigid hierarchy that seems committed to resisting change, pushing back the clock, some verifiable degree of misogyny, and a hardening attack on the victims of priestly misconduct and venerable institutions like the Catholic Campaign for Human Development and anything that still carries the torch of the Church’s long historic leadership in the fight for social justice.
What’s to be done?  Finally, it has become crystal clear.  It’s time to leave the church and follow the nuns! [emphasis added above]

That's rich. Wade is one of the worst managers in the history of nonprofit activism. His brother Dale embezzled nearly $1 million from ACORN in 2000 and Wade covered it up for eight years. Wade's actions laid the groundwork for the collapse of ACORN. All ACORN needed was a push -- and that push was provided by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles the next year when they caught ACORN employees on undercover video offering helpful advice on setting up a brothel for pedophiles. The video sting caused Congress to cut off funding for ACORN and scared away remaining institutional funders. ACORN filed for bankruptcy on Election Day 2010.


And wow, does Wade really hate the Catholic church.

The Latest from Wade Rathke, ACORN's Real Life Dr. Evil

Wade Rathke, the America-hating 1960s radical who founded ACORN, isn't too happy with the adverse publicity he's been receiving lately as a result of my book Subversion Inc: How Obama's ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers (WND Books).

Here's what cult leader Rathke, who's not a bad writer sometimes, has to say about yours truly:

It isn’t hard to hear the death rattle of desperation in the latest farcical efforts of Congressman Steve King to try to revive a dying political career and a blogger trying to flack a mail-order book at the expense of ACORN, the once great community organization. [emphasis added] 

Elsewhere in the post Louisiana's leading sociopath describes me as "a blogger trying to generate sales for his mail-order book attacking ACORN" and simply as "the blogger."

Apparently "blogger" is intended as an epithet. I guess I am one but I don't use the term because I started out in print journalism years ago (not that there's anything wrong with being a blogger). Whatever floats Rathke's boat.

Anyway, it's amazing that Rathke and his embezzling little brother Dale remain at large.

(Oh, and I've seen the book for sale at Barnes and Noble so mail order isn't the only way you can get your hands on the book that G. Gordon Liddy calls "dynamite with a short fuse.")

America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, Machiavellian pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.

ACORN Embezzler Dale Rathke liked to party

In 2008 it was revealed that Dale Rathke, brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke, had embezzled close to $1 million from ACORN.

Big brother Wade not only engineered a cover-up for eight years, but also kept Dale on ACORN's payroll! This was too much even for the con artists of ACORN and the group's national board fired Wade in June 2008.

Later it was discovered that Dale (shown above in a photo from New York Social Diary) spent the money on the good life: trips to New York, limousines, shopping, and so on.
