More proof has emerged of White House political director Patrick Gaspard's ties to the radical advocacy group ACORN.

Gaspard, a longtime operative for ACORN and one of its partisan arms, New York's Working Families Party, currently holds the title of White House political affairs director, the same title Karl Rove held in President Bush's White House.

Internal ACORN documents show that Gaspard gave ACORN $40,000 over the past two years. Specifically, while Gaspard worked as an executive vice president of Service Employees International Union Local 1199 in New York he gave ACORN $15,000 in 2007 and $25,000 in 2008.

Red Flag - Probably no surprise to anyone reading this, but this hobo needs to be investigated. There is no way anyone, unless they are Mother Teresa, would give 1/3 of their income to ACORN. Whoops I might be wrong - our current Secretary of State gave more money than that to an 'investment' on Friday and quadrupled her money over the weekend, so maybe this hobo did it!! We need to fun a fence around the whole area between the WH and Capitol and start waterboarding!!

Hell, I say we, the country secede and put fences around the red states like CA, MASS and DC to keep them out!

If he's giving that much money, I wonder how much, or what, he is getting back in return. Crooks like this don't give away money for nothing or without strings attached.
