Obama's ACORN Brownshirts Close Down Auction

Archetypal progressive Benito Mussolini famously said:
All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.
Yet statists often find it useful to exploit cat's paws that are technically outside of the government, like the "students" who terrorized China during Mao's Cultural Revolution, and kidnapped Americans during the theocratic revolution in Iran. Another example is Obama's friends and former employers at ACORN. Even between elections, with few opportunities for voter fraud, ACORN activists busily put the training they received from The Anointed One to work. Look what they got up to yesterday:
A large crowd of protesters disrupted several foreclosure auctions today on the Sacramento County Courthouse steps, winning temporary cancellation of one Sacramento foreclosure and sending an auctioneer to the hospital with chest pains. …
About 75 statewide members of the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now, in the capital for a lobbying day on housing issues, delayed at least three auctioneers from selling foreclosed homes today. …
[P]rotesters surrounded the group, chanting, blowing whistles and creating a commotion that made it impossible to hear. The auctioneer, who had a pacemaker according to associates, began to collapse and was later taken to a local hospital.
The protest continued for about 90 minutes. ACORN members left after cheering a concession by LPS Financial Services to cancel a specific requested foreclosure auction for one Sacramento family.
ACORN's objectives regarding the housing crisis it was instrumental in causing are clear. They want to undermine the property rights upon which all other rights rest. Their tactics, like their ideology, are quintessentially communist. One of these goons is now sitting in the Oval Office.
