Drudge siren up. No text or article yet.

Wow, is that true?

[Boiling Pots]

Racist Senators!

[Jay Howard Smith]

83-7 was the vote ...!

[rhc2000]

THAT’S change I believe in!

[GeorgiaDawg32]

[Dallas59]

RACISM!!!!

[OCC]

Now if they would just ban them from registering voters, we might be getting somewhere.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The ObamaNation takes it’s first direct hit.

[newfreep]

Only 7 “non-racists”?

[InterceptPoint]

Glen Beck is having a pretty good month.

[Boiling Pots]

Maybe ACORN could get some extra cash running a brothel with underage illegal immigrants, or something.

[Dallas59]

[pollywog]

I heard that they will just go underground and come up as a new organization!!!! Sure hope we have good “ eyes” watching this...

[Velveeta]

Thank you - Glenn Beck!!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Operation Restore American Freedom has begun!

[BunnySlippers]

Funny as none of the major news entities has covered the story. CNN sis a small piece on the first video and ignored the last two. NYT, LAT, WaPo ...

[freespirited]

Since I’m old and jaded let me be first to say I’m not sure this would have happened had it not been for Saturday.

[Frantzie]

They will just change the name of ACORN. It will be NROCA or CORN A. The govt is so corrupt.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Obama is already going through the mourning process. Finally some good news.

[Cicero]

Wow!

I think this is only one source of gov funding for ACORN, but it’s still excellent news.

Now, go after the rest of their funding, and block the handouts from Porkulus.

[MamaDearest]

Now they need to call for investigation into each and every ACORN involved loan transacted. Think of it as “non-stimulus job creation.”

[elizabethgrace]

Michelle Malkin is all over this:

Durbin was a no. I’ll have the rest soon.

The final roll call vote – amendment passes 83-7. I’ll post the full roll when it’s up on the Senate site.

This is the beginning, not the end.

The Dems are finally, finally on the defensive on ACORN.

Republicans, keep digging and pushing and connecting the dots

[uncitizen]

i just don’t believe it will really happen.

[TigersEye]

What percentage of $8.5 billion are the housing funds?

[Cindy]

Who are the seven who voted against it?

[FreeperinRATcage]

Let not get all excited yet. Anything passed by the senate has to be recociled with the house version. That’s a different thing altogether.

We need to make ACORN totally toxic to deal with..even for the wicked witch of San Francisco.

[Oldexpat]

These young JOURNALISTS should be given a Pulitzer, but they will probably just get a rasberry from the Govt Controled Media.
Just wait til the rest of their tapes comes out.
The reason that Acorn was able to do these things is that they were never challenged by our supposed watch dog media. They were always to one directing the media where to go and what to say..they just never had to stand up to any scrutiny. Lots of them should be in jail.

[GeronL]

ACORN has hundreds of front groups that will still be elgible for these funds.

[diamond6]

I totally agree!

[elizabethgrace]

They’re worse than pathetic.

[avacado]

Heroes! They get prettier by the day! Hannah Giles on the left.

[GeronL]

they have hundreds of front groups across the country

[HerrBlucher]

Yeah, I think 912 was a powerful laxative for the communofascists!

[stripes1776]

That is the funniest cartoon I have seen in a long time. Thanks for posting that.

[elizabethgrace]

Durbin is one.

Michelle Malkin hasn’t posted the other six names yet.

[cripplecreek]

[IceAge]

Hubby and I were discussing that very thing. Let’s watch very carefully when they annouce who will be doing the census now.
This is not the time to sit back and think we have them on the run. Now is the time to push even harder on DC and make them aware they work for US!

[screaminsunshine]

The Obamacorns must be in a total PANIC. Glen Beck has singlehandedly taken them down. I think Beck is turning in to a real LEADER. Tonite on his show he had a spot about rebuilding the World Trade Center. HOT DAMN! He is the ONLY investigative journalist in America. He says he is not but he is doing the leg work. GOOD ON HIM!

[MarkT]

Should be all funds, directly or indirectly, to or for ACORN, or any subsidiaries, affiliates or parties related by common directorship (any ONE director).

[1000 silverlings]

Maybe ACORN could get some extra cash running a brothel with underage illegal immigrants, or something.

Maybe? You can be sure that's just one thang they got on the side

[kingattax]

cut off ACORNs “housing funds”.

lets not get too carried away. i don’t think this means that ACORN is finished.

sounds like what was cut off is a drop in the bucket.

[MarkT]

Cornucopia.

[livius]

I agree, they’ll just redirect the moneys. But this is definitely a start.

I’m really impressed by the people who did that filming. Modern day Tom Paines, in their own way...
