The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : DoJ IG Hits ACORN

Text Size

This is a story that has received far too little attention, but last month even the Justice Department Inspector General blasted ACORN and said a DoJ grant that went to ACORN was run fraudulently. Here's my report on it.

Move over Gerald Walpin. Speaking of Gerald Walpin and how things receive so little attention lately....those godawful Gle nn Becks and Andrew Breitbarts and James O'keefes really weren't real journalists, were they? Funny thing, had it not been for them, ACORN and Pigford and Van Jones would have the run of the White House commissary still today, wouldn't they? As much as baseball is the American pastime, still, Aaron Goldstein could spend more time on saving Israel. et cetera.

Quin- Nice piece. Just one of a thousand egregious miscarriages of real justice that takes a backseat to the social justice fixation of the Obama administration. Telling indeed that DoJ is funding something, that's demonstrably in violation of congressional intent. This with Holder's testimony today on 'Fast and Furious' that he would not release some of the docs subpoenaed, confirms that this guy is an unrepentant criminal, that apparently answers to no one. A chilling hallmark of a socialist tyranny, unaccountable bureaucrats controlling ever more aspect(s) over the public's lives.

Zero being re-elected will begin an Authoritarian era. We are nearly there as is evidenced by his routine, near daily, comments & actions not limited to doing what he wants when he wants with no checks & balance nor approval nor consent from anyone.

This defines why 11/4/12 is vitally important for this country's survival. Acorn is simply nothing more than a taxpayer-funded community organizing Democrat front group existing for the sole purpose of delivering votes to Democrat candidates, especially for the Democrat-in-Chief at 1600!!!!!!!!!!!!
