Like Blood from a Stone…
… government auditors want to get money out of an ACORN. Auditors questioned about $2 million because ACORN Associates didn’t document open competition by contractors — many of them ACORN affiliates throughout the country. The inspector general said HUD should demand records that document why contractors were selected and records that justify the lack of…
Read MoreObama administration – ACORN violated federal rules concerning housing grants
ACORN still exists, they were never put out of business. They simply changed the name of the organization, continuing their abuse of the system. Another symptom of the disease since any sort of federal funding of programs like this is completely unconstitutional.
Read MoreWe’ve changed our name New England, but we’re still … ACORN
Like Freddie or a bad penny, they just won’t go away. Despite numerous federal investigations and a series of videos that exposed unethical behavior (among them, one showing ACORN employees facilitating under age prostitution) … these “Community” organizers, aka Obama Get Out The Vote Campaign, ACORN has just rebranded itself … and yes, here in…
Read MoreACORN’s Bertha Lewis: Socialism is the right thing, TEA party is a bowel movement
I’m not sure how relevant the CEO of ACORN is anymore, but at least she’s not hiding her stripes. She attended a Young Democratic Socialists meeting in late March and said we are living in a time – referring to the TEA party movement – that will dwarf the era of Jim Crow and segregation.

Read MoreMSNBC Spins ACORN Story … and lack of coverage – Update- ABC too
Ahhh … if only spinning was this easy at the gym. Norah O’Donnell on the morning Joe takes on the unenviable task of explainning why the President’s favortie community organization is under fire, and why NBC hasn’t touched the story until now. I love this ….. “ACORN helps poor people get homes … and she…
Read MoreAlinsky Rule #8: Never let up
It was only a week ago SEIU members lamented that conservatives learned the rules so fast. Indeed. Jim Geraghty over at “The Campaign Spot” has a partial transcript. Big Government’s James O’Keefe, doing the work 60 Minutes just won’t do anymore, is now back with Part 4 … and this involves a California ACORN office,…
Read MoreAttention Prostitutes, has ACORN Got A Deal For You, Part 2
James O’Keefe and his colleague Hannah Giles have blown the lid off the ACORN Pandora’s box. We touched a bit on it today, but the hits just keep on coming. Yesterday O’Keefe and Big Government posted part one of their investigation into the ACORN housing scam. Posing as a pimp with Hannah the prostitute he…
