Mrs. Moncrief is a former ACORN employee out of the Washington D.C. office who was the Development Associate for Project Vote and ACORN political operations. After seeing the troubles spawned by ACORN,she became a whistleblower. She came to frustration with the progressive cause in which she still passionately believes after seeing up close and personal all the corruption in which ACORN (and the Service Employees International Union –SEIU) is mired.
One of my questions was about her,personally. Was she a shill for the right as some have accused her of being? Mrs. Moncrief answered definitively that she is still “the most liberal person in the world.” Moncrief says she is a believer in gay rights and that when Nancy Pelosi was sworn in as the first female Speaker of the House,she “was crying” because “it was just that big” to her. Moncrief insists that she has never lost her hopes for progressive causes. She also says that she does not consider herself a tool of the right,“I think I’m just disillusioned with the left.”
So,why was she speaking out against organizations with whose goals she agrees? It’s about principle,she says. Mrs. Moncrief feels that if her side wins by cheating,then it is no win at all. So,she wants the true,albeit sordid,tale of ACORNs financial misdeeds and unprincipled machinations revealed for everyone to see. She wants correction,not destruction.
