Barney Frank Helping ACORN

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) blogs at Townhall.com that House Financial Services Committee chairman Barney Frank (D-Taxachusetts) is trying to use legislation to help his buddies at the radical community activist group ACORN:

Yesterday, the House Financial Services Committee passed my ACORN amendment that will prevent organizations, or employees of organizations, that have been indicted for voter fraud from being eligible for the housing counseling grants and legal assistance grants authorized under the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act.

Chairman Barney Frank accepted the amendment right there in front of the whole committee -- I assumed because it was his very own language as passed under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 --  and the amendment was then passed by unanimous voice vote.

Later that day, Chairman Frank said he had reservations about my amendment and would discuss them with me.  His staff approached mine with specific changes he would like to make -- changes which eviscerate the meaning of the amendment and were clearly not acceptable. [...]

Frank? A corrupt dirtbag? Really? My shock and awe know no bounds.

Barney Frank is a disgusting sodomite. Like all sodomites, his mind and black soul are twisted. He is a son of the devil and doing the devil's work. There are no surprises where this homosexual pervert is concerned.

Talking about the fox guarding the henhouse. Perhaps the amendment should have included the language "and no one who said Fannie and Freddie were above reproach should be allowed to open their mouths when it comes to the taxpayers' money."

Bachmann's amendment prevented grants from going to organisations that have been indicted for voter fraud. Therefore, her amendment has nothing to do with ACORN, since ACORN hasn't been indicted. Mr. Vadum needs to get his facts straight before he mindlessly repeats the things that Bachmann says.

What's data recovery? It's the last option to undelete and recover lost corrupt or damaged files and partitions after local and network backups have failed. For disk crash repair data recovery service is needed.
