The ACORN doesn't fall far from the tree

[VBshooter]

Let's hope mre states get on that bandwagon and sue the crap out of them, this is worth along look now and in the future, One can only imagine how many other groups like ACORN are out there being courted by crooked politicians looking to sweeten their campaign funds and then adding their earmarks to reward these lowlife thieves.

Now I've heard it all. Now "they" are saying it may be unconstitutional to defund ACORN and it might violate their rights. I wish they would see the 2nd Amendment the same way. Read the article for details...This is sickening.

Bills to Defund ACORN Face Legal Hurdles, Experts Say
Some legal experts say that provisions Congress passed to defund ACORN may be unconstitutional, and the House bill in particular will alienate defense contractors, who are long-time allies of Republicans.

Yes it is sickening ,..But IMHO it;s just a delay tactic.Funny how it was a supporter from NY that brought this up.. After reading it I got the impression that it' s defense contractors that they're more concerned with protecting and ACORN could be scarificed on the alter of corruption in the name of Northrup-Grumman. It appears that they have caught DC'S more than once screwing the taxpayers and they continue to do so;;yet they have the audacity to cry that a bill to punish ACORN may hurt the Defense Contractors. Business as usual,,,FUBAR!!!

Here's a MUST READ article on ACORN. The film maker is threatening to release a bunch of tapes for the 2010 elections unless holder opens a full scale no holds barred investigation.

Andrew Breitbart, appearing on "Hannity"

Andrew Breitbart, whose BigGovernment.com rocked Washington with undercover videos exposing ACORN corruption, has issued U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder an ultimatum: Conduct an investigation into ACORN, or more videos will be released just in time to drop a bombshell on the 2010 elections.

"This message is to Attorney General Holder," Breitbart said on the Fox News network's "Hannity" last night. "I want you to know that we have more tapes, it's not just ACORN, and we're going to hold out until the next election cycle. … If you get into an investigation, we will give you the tapes; if you don't give us the tapes, we will revisit these tapes come election time."

The show's host, Sean Hannity, responded, "This is a blockbuster, what you're saying here. You guys have more tapes, you'll release them before the election – that could have a big impact on the election."

Breitbart's ultimatum joins the already growing number of U.S. representatives who earlier this week introduced a House resolution requesting Holder appoint a special counsel to investigate allegations regarding ACORN.

H. Res. 911, introduced by Rep. Vernon Ehlers, R-Mich., and cosponsored by 28 representatives, states concern that ACORN may have been spending federal money illegally and charges, "There has not been a cohesive approach to investigating these allegations."

It's time for us to start "Taking America Back" from groups like ACORN. Read Joseph Farah's manifesto for sovereignty, self-reliance and moral renewal, from WND Books!

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which describes itself as a team of families "working together for social justice and stronger communities," had already been accused multiple times of voter fraud before BigGovernment.com's exposés showed ACORN workers advising on how to fake tax forms, set up a child prostitution business and other dubious issues.

Outcry over the undercover tapes prompted Congress to defund ACORN and sever the organization's link with the upcoming census, but Breitbart insists federal authorities cannot simply wait out the firestorm to avoid a formal investigation:

"While all that damage occurred, Congress didn't come in to investigate them, obviously not the Attorney General's office, and they've now realized, let's get back into business, because they realized that the dust settled and they were not being investigated," he said.

(Story continues below)




And while Breitbart continues to push for a formal investigation, Hannah Giles and accompanying filmmaker James O'Keefe, who posed undercover to expose ACORN corruption, are themselves subjects of both investigations and lawsuits.

"There's a lot of hypocrisy," Breitbart said. "At the end of the day they've recognized that Eric Holder, the Attorney General, has not initiated an investigation into ACORN after we now have seven tapes. … It was Hannah, James, and me who were being investigated, that's why we've been forced to offer this latest tape."

The "latest" tape Breitbart referred to was yet another undercover sting, this team exposing Lavelle Stewart of ACORN in South Central Los Angeles, who tells Giles and O'Keefe – posing as a prostitute and pimp hoping to establish a quiet, international, underage prostitution ring – that they will have to hook up with "someone who's on that international sex business level."

"14 and 15 year olds been traveling overseas for years," Stewart said before offering to do research and hinting that she has had meetings with porn magnate Larry Flynt.

When O'Keefe suggested the money would be laundered into his political campaign, Stewart answered, "There are ways, people do it all the time. Yeah there are ways, especially out here in California."

The latest undercover video, in two parts, can be seen below:

(Editor's note: The videos do contain alluring images of Giles in costume and suggestive song lyrics.)

The second part of the video can be seen below:

The series of now seven hidden-camera videos have been posted on BigGovernment.com.

ACORN, which has fired workers caught in several earlier compromising videos, has alleged they are manipulated, and has threatened a lawsuit against the filmmaker and websites, as well as Fox News

This will be very interesting to watch and see if Holder gets the message .He avoided the voter intimidation thing, wants gun registration because of Ft Hood, wants to bring the 9/11 criminals to be treated like citizens of the US, and various other outrages that it would not surprise me one bit if he ignored this too.. Seems he is exempt from the law and can ignore Congress too ,, Much like Obama does ,, I can honestly say I hope the new videos are completely damning in their content and lead to Congress getting off their hands and doing something

I honestly still dont see how anyone with half a brain can see that gun registration wont help one doodly squat. The way these twits twist things makes me want to vomit. Perhaps I will and send it obama in a bag. Oh wait, they dont accept food stuffs in the WH mail. Jerks.

It may be just a detractor from his real agenda I don't trust him as far as I could throw him,,The man is a weasel who thinks he can do as he pleases without penalty,,I have to wonder if he has something on all the mem\bers of the Congress that has bought their silence. More Chicago politics and spitting on the Constitution by this administration.I think he;s testing the waters to see what kind of gun control will be acceptable to try enacting,We need to watch this man very closely, HMMMM . "Barf for Obama"... could be something that catches on!!
