There is only one word for it.

That word is "scandal."

Begin with the scarlet philosophical thread that takes expression from the following people in their own distinctive styles.

William Ayers: "I am a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist ... Maybe I'm the last communist who is willing to admit it….The ethics of Communism still appeal to me."

Jeremiah Wright: "God damn America, for treating our citizens as less than human."

Jimmy Carter: In a June 16, 1976 presentation to the Democrats' platform committee, Carter promised that America under a Carter administration would help the poor by putting "Greater effort to direct mortgage money into the financing of private housing ."

EXCERPT...

Are we clear here? Barack Obama not only was the counsel for ACORN as part of his “community organizer” role he considered “the work you do” important. Said he: “We appreciate your work.” He was proud to be “fighting alongside ACORN on issues” it cared about. And what do we now know the results of ACORN’s work and its issues to be? Starkly and very simply put they have:

1. Undermined the financial stability of you, your family, your business and your government with a financial collapse unrivaled since the Great Depression.

2. Flooded battleground states in this election with a massive attempt at fraudulent voter registration that is on the verge of stealing the presidency of the United States for Obama.

One question.

WHERE IS JOHN McCAIN?????????

House Financial Services Committee on FHA
The hearing can be viewed in its (live) entirety on BNN

April 19, 2007
Posted April 20, 2007

It appears that this new fund is creating some contention as its full purpose seems unclear and has been interpreted by some Republicans as an attempt by Democratic lawmakers to funnel surplus money out of FHA for use elsewhere.-PaperMoneyBlog Intro.

CLIP

“Now it looks like we are going down the road of another extortion of an organization for money for purposes other than for what that organization is proposed and chartered to do… creating other funds and taking money out of FHA when we’re embarking down a road of a new program I think is a very dangerous precedent.” said Representative Randy Neugebaue [R-TX].

CLIP:
“Representative Frank quickly followed up “I’ve worked with my friend from Texas on a lot of issues and there are a lot of areas where this committee can cooperate across party lines but nowhere have the difference between the parties been made more clear then in his last statement when he described as an effort by the gentle woman (Waters) from California and myself as an effort to provide more funding for affordable housing as quote extortion unquote.”

"The history of man for the nine months preceding his birth (or event of some magnitude, in this case) would probably be far more interesting, and contain events of greater moment, than all the three score and ten years that follow it.—Samuel T. Coleridge"

Here's Stanley Kurtz -- way back in May -- on the findings of his investigation into Barack Obama and ACORN: "Obama's ties to Acorn -- arguably the most politically radical large-scale activist group in the country -- are wide, deep, and longstanding."

I thought it appropriate to correct my typo from bush to busy, since that one letter typo spells the name of our invisible president.
