THE PROGRESSIVE REVIEW - May 20, 2010
The Right Wing's Next Target After ACORN: The Greenlining
Institute
by: Anne Landman
The Center for Media and Democracy
Last year, right-wing activists masqueraded as a pimp and
a prostitute and used a phony storyline and a hidden camera
to take down the community group ACORN. ACORN was even-
tually absolved and the unsavory tactics of the right
exposed, but that hasn't stopped the right from moving on
to a new target: the Berkeley, California-based Greenlining
Institute. Like ACORN, the Greenlining Institute is a
progressive organization that advocates for the poor and
works for economic justice. It also supports implementation
and enforcement of the Community Reinvestment Act, a
federal law passed in 1977 to mitigate deteriorating
conditions in low and moderate-income neighborhoods by
addressing the practice of redlining -- denying credit or
insurance to people based on their ethnic background or
neighborhood.

Anti-ACORN Tactics Dusted off, Used Again
In April, the Examiner, a conservative news operation
owned by one of the world's richest men, Denver business-
man Philip Anschutz, ran a five-part series of accusatory
articles that manufactured a supposed "scandal" involving
the Greenlining Institute. The articles had titles like
"Examiner Special Report: Greenlining Institute's
intimidation of banks in the name of 'social justice,"
"Radical group perfects legal bank heists," and "Green-
lining and ACORN: Two peas in a pod?" One of the series'
two authors, Tori Richards, wrote that the Greenlining
Institute has been called "a bunch of shakedown artists,
a growing menace and a cousin" to ACORN. The articles
contained provocative but unsubstantiated charges against
the organization and accused the Institute of "political
extortion." The authors did not, however, provide factual
evidence of malfeasance.

Attacker's Corporate Backing
The second Examiner author, Mark Tapscott, started his
journalism career as a national staff reporter for the
Washington Times. He now works for CalWatchdog, a project
of the Pacific Research Institute, a conservative organ-
ization funded by Altria/Philip Morris, ChevronTexaco,
ExxonMobil, Microsoft, Pfizer, Verizon and AT&T, among
other large corporations.
The Examiner articles about the Greenlining Institute
support conservatives' long-sought goal of de-funding
progressive organizations and repealing the Community
Reinvestment Act. They also use the same tactics the
right used to de-fund ACORN, specifically baseless
accusations and innuendo. Supporters of the Greenlining
Institute fear that conservatives' promotion of misinform-
ation and broadside, baseless attacks will have the same
effect on the Institute as they had on ACORN.
