Good grief. How many elections do you think ACORN has stolen? I'm beside myself with all of this ACORN stuff.

Did you know ACORN has a high school in Brooklyn? http://schools.nyc.gov/SchoolP.....efault.htm

What do you think they're teaching them there?

Matthew Vadum| 10.8.09 @ 7:54AM

Social justice? I wrote about them briefly in the Nov. 2008 Foundation Watch available at capitalresearch.org. Apparently they're not bad schools -- apart from the indoctrination.

Deborah D| 10.8.09 @ 9:01AM

Well, I figured if anyone knew about it, you would, Mr. Vadum. I like the "apart from the indoctrination" part! Makes me feel much better! :) Thanks for all you do.

What part of:

"We investigated the activities involving ACORN and at this point we have found no criminal conduct by ACORN." [Emphasis added.]

don't you understand? One guy, one fraudulent vote, not ACORN's doing. Get a grip.

"his amendment number 2647 to H.R. 2847, the fiscal 2010 spending bill for the Commerce Department, directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to "conduct a review and audit of Federal funds awarded to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now…or any subsidiary or affiliate of ACORN.""

Talk about a bogus amendment! The GAO doesn't NEED a legislative bill in order to conduct an investigation as to the disposition of federal funds. All they need is for a single Senator to request one. Why isn't Sen. Durbin directly making a request? I believe that the answer is that he wants to appear to be doing something while doing nothing at all.

Peggy| 10.8.09 @ 11:48AM

This amendment expires October 31 of this year! Really cracking down, huh??

Son Of Sam| 10.8.09 @ 10:45AM

Is it any wonder that the TelePrompter In Chief said we should "avoid taking sides" in the fraudalent elections over in Iran? It should be obvious by now that this was no more and no less than one vote stealing America hating demagogue helping out a kindred spirit overseas. ACORN is an army criminals, lunatics, traitors and tax cheats. And who stands at the head of that hate filled army of America bashers but the chief ObamaNazi himself?

Let's be honest. While the leadership of ACORN is heavily white (yes, I know about Bertha Lewis and Maude Hurd), the rank and file are overwhelmingly black, plus some Hispanics. The untold story of ACORN is that from the start it's been a race reparations racket masquerading as community organizing. All self-respecting whites have a stake in seeing ACORN crushed.

Curtis Rasmussen| 10.8.09 @ 5:04PM

Let's de dishonest is more like it. Your statement excludes me from hoping for ACORN's demise beacuse I am not white. If they were mostly white and pulling off the same crap, would this somehow make them better?

This is about class warfare, not race, numbnuts. Oppressive zealotry is an equal oppotunity employer.

Johan Baumeister| 10.9.09 @ 4:18PM

Clearly ACORN needs to get its house in order, but "all self-respecting whites" should want to see ACORN go down?

You sir are a racist. Indignation at impropriety should not be limited to or encouraged by the color of a person's skin.

California Mama Bear| 10.9.09 @ 5:55PM

Heavens above, I am SO very tired of race this and race that and more race, ad nausem, as well as hyphenated Americans . . . I long and pray for the day when we are ALL color-blind and free at last from the self-imposed chains of race identity . . .

I would paraphrase something I read many years ago that has stuck with me, "God is NOT pleased to be insulted when He wears His different colored suits." ( please don't not think that I am suggesting a personal belief in anything anti-Biblical here about individuals being gods or God Himself; rather it's for illustration that we are all created uniquely by God, and I believe He does get insulted when we have prejudices against some of the colors He chose for others. )

ALL self-respecting people should have a stake in seeing ALL forms of lawlessness crushed, whether it's related to illegal aliens, ACORN workers, fraudulent voting, pedophiles, drug dealers, politicians abusing the Constitution, or whatever. We've become a nation filled with people sorely lacking in love for one another and without a moral compass for guidance in self-discipline, but that's what happens when self is worshiped. America is filled with unrepented, prideful corruption and wickedness; God is surely losing His patience with us. We have choices - God or self, blessings & love or curses & wrath. Individually and corporately, as a nation, we make our choice daily, and the days turn into years . . . .

ACORN needs a little RICO

BREDNG10| 10.8.09 @ 5:39PM

I wonder how many of the thousands of voters registered by Acorn in Minnesota were also frauds and voted???With the small margin of victory for al franken and the vast majority of Acorns voters going to Dem`s it seems more than likely al`s victory was a fraud also.
Maybe the Rep. senator from Mn.should investigate the Acorn voter registrations for more frauds,with the very small margin of frankens victory!

Johan Baumeister| 10.9.09 @ 4:21PM

If there were indications that voter registration fraud took place in MN, I find it hard to believe that Coleman and his lawyers wouldn't have found it and brought the evidence to court. Since they brought no such allegations, I have to wonder what motivates your assumption that Franken's victory was fraudulent.

Also, there is no Republican Senator from Minnesota. Amy Klobuchar, the other Senator, is also a Democrat.

Chris| 10.12.09 @ 3:01PM

I loved that when the recount in MN started several boxes of votes that were like 5-1 in favor of Franken mystically appeared to be added to the counts.

DTC OF AZ| 10.8.09 @ 8:07PM

Thanks to all the magic tricks from Obama, ACORN staying in business last that long, sucking up ton of dough from taxpayers when committing that many crimes! Sick people they are.

Johan Baumeister| 10.9.09 @ 4:25PM

Ashamed of your grammar, even Yoda would be.

If I understand you correctly, you're implying that Senator Obama somehow had enough pull with the Bush Administration to prevent ACORN's demise during his campaign. You're also implying Obama stole his wide electoral margin if I understand you correctly. Do you really think that the Bush Administration, under whose watch this election took place, would have missed your alleged millions of fraudulent votes?

JimJam| 10.9.09 @ 3:04PM

Wait until we discover the fix is in for 2010. Limbaugh keeps saying he's amazed at how brazen Obama and his socialists are and don't they know that by pulling all this crap, they risk not being elected next time? ACORN's activities are far deeper and more nefarious than we know. The Dems will get "re-elected" next time no matter what the real election count is. The Republicans are too dumb to figure it out and are doomed, despite all the rhetoric from the conservative heads. Wake up, America!

Johan Baumeister| 10.9.09 @ 4:29PM

Yes, because a "former" prescription drug addict with deep conservative ties is certainly the most unbiased source of information on ACORN's activities.

Unlike, say, the Department of Justice under Bush or under Obama. Neither of which have caught on to this imminent, massive, and well-hidden conspiracy despite having an investigations budget that rivals the GDP of some smaller nations.

Chris| 10.12.09 @ 3:03PM

There is a reason why there was SO much in the "Screwallus" bill. Obama was affraid he would loose the midterm and possibly his second term, so he crammed 10 years of social programs into one bill.

Joyce | 10.9.09 @ 8:03PM

I believe that the last election will be the last free election in the United States.

Mystery Mann| 10.17.09 @ 10:21AM

Sounds like Mr./Ms. Nash will probably be up for and intern position in the White House.
