By on 10.26.09 @ 6:07AM

ACORN enjoys congressional a congressional investigator's protection.

(Page 2 of 2)

The WFP is ACORN's political party and a key member of ACORN's farflung empire of radical activism. ACORN's chief organizer Bertha Lewis co-founded the party and longtime ACORN operative Patrick Gaspard, currently White House political director, worked for the party.

Meanwhile, in his article Anderson also quotes ACORN lawyer Schwartz praising Nadler. "One of the things I've come to appreciate in this is how great Jerry Nadler is," Schwartz is quoted saying.

Now we know why ACORN holds Nadler in such high esteem.

WilliamInWien| 10.26.09 @ 5:15PM

While a number of jurisdictions are investigating ACORN and its methods of doing business, this does not relieve Congress from also investigating. Nadler seems to forget that ACORN operated with taxpayer funds and Congress has a responsibility to insure there is no waste (?) or misuse of taxpayer funds. Finally, Nadler does not appear to understand the term "recuse". Of course, Nadler is far from alone on this issue. Conyers should know that the "powers that be" are the American voters.
