No, this is not from the Onion: A federal agency gave tax dollars to a group known for (metaphorically) burning down communities to help prevent fires.
An affiliate of the notorious activist group ACORN improperly got its hands on a nearly $500,000 fire safety and prevention grant, says a new report from the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general. (It was a FEMA grant from August 2008 in the sum of $450,484.) ACORN has a long history of fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayer dollars, so this new report doesn’t come as a surprise to longtime ACORN watchers."
