I can see the headlines now,

"GLEN BECK RESPONSIBLE FOR MASSIVE LAYOFFS" subtitle,

"must be taken off air to protect economy"

I would thank them, but like the Terminator in the Arnold Movies, the later ones could morph into anything, the question is what do they turn into?

But what do Lindsay Graham and John McCain have to say about all this?? After all, l’il Ms. Liindsey thinks Glenn Beck is a bad influence.

Nothing but a reorganization. The laws that regulate them are so porous that they’ll resurface under a name like “Team Pro America Super Fantastic Foundation” and continue. They are too big and too profitable for too many people to go away.

Nice headline!!!
How many of us expected that after November’s election?
All the credit goes to the two young film makers.

So, it appears ACORN has made it to corporate nirvana. Too big to fail.

“Maswsive layoffs”?? Just how many people does ACORN “employ”??

So either ACORN keeps their staff on, and pays them largely with what money they can scrape up from Government and Private donations...

or...

They “lay off” staff in order to make them eligible for Government funded unemployment benefits instead.

There are other stories here on FR and elsewhere that prove ACORN’s biggest donors are pulling the plug as fast as they can, so I believe ACORN will be slashing “staff”, the question is how many??

Didn’t I see a report that a number of rather large liens were placed against Acorn by IRS and other authorities for not paying employee’s witholding taxes in New Orleans?
This would fit,since it seems that their entire operational
goal is to screw the American taxpayer.

As far as I am concerned it will not be until there are massive layoffs that it can be believed their funding has been cut by any and all the tributaries that channel money to this organization.

Can anyone imagine this bunch giving medical advise like they give tax filing advise or help people get a home mortgage, or how they register voters?
