A REAL fight... that might involve REAL fighting, not just rhetoric and courts.

0bama doesn’t have his civilian defense corps up and running yet - they should wait.

It would be pretty easy to convert ACORN into that heavily armed and trained “corps”, and that’s probably what he plans to do.

You’ll find a plethora of liberals seeking to make sure that your young child has access to hard-core pornography ... but don’t let them listen to ... God forbid, Sean Hannity.
Well, medical studies have concluded that listening to or watching Sean Vanity on a regular basis will cause irreversible brain damage.

(Sorry, Sean-heads. I think he's a dolt. When he's forced off his talking points he sounds like a blithering idiot. Stopped watching his show yeeeeeeeers ago)

So let me get this straight. They get billions of dollars from the government yet they want to use the government to limit what others are saying? By the way does anyone know the exact amount that they got and where it is listed in the stimulus bill?

Is there a public record of WHO is in ACORN? Who runs it, who contributes to it, and who works for it?

Link to the Capital Research Center expose mentioned in the article. The Human Events article has links throughout:

Birch, one of the line items was $2 billion in grants for community stabilization—search the bill for one of those key terms (”community” or “stabilization”) and you’ll find it.

The other $2.2 billion is spread out in things like grants from HUD and the like.

Even Jimmy Cater is opposed to The Fairness Doctrine, or at least claims that he is opposed.

acorn seems to have untouchable ties into the democrat machine
and nothing appears to stick to them except our tax dollars.

The media covers for them and it’s looking like we the people
may have to step up to level the playing field of corruption.

So basically exactly what they did to the banking industry to extort the commitments to bad loans to people that couldn't dream of repaying the loans. Hey! If it works, don't fix it.

And this is how they will take control of the Healthcare Industry. Force insurers to cover everybody, reagardless of pre-existing conditions, government puts a cap on the premiums they can charge, and 'poof'....the insurance companies ripen for "bailout" and gubmint takeover.

I am so furious that MY TAX DOLLARS are being used to prop up ACORN, a forceful arm of the democrat party.

An organization Obama worked in, taught and used to win elections for himself.

An organization that sent thugs to the very homes of bankers who refused to give out loans to those who were incapable of paying said loan back. Ever.

An organization that recruits democrats...ONLY!

And an organization that now enters the political arena by trying to shut down the ONLY VOICE conservatives really have. And a voice that is supported NOT BY TAX DOLLARS BUT BY LEGITIMATE QUALITY MARKET ECONOMICS.

How DARE ACORN the put forth an opinion on talk radio, my tax dollars have just been made part of ACORN's salary! I RESENT THIS support of a democrat partisan group! It is wrong...now I know how UNION WORKERS feel who are forced to support a political party they despise!

WHO is ACORN...WHO IS THE FACE? What creep is the voice that has asked for the fairness doctrine to be brought forward again? (roflmao...it should be called 'e silencing of all radio conservative voices') .

Gish

Who is the leader of ACORN? Who has called for this? What is the name or names of the top dirtbags of ACORN...the seeds of blight now reaching across our nation.

I want NAMES! ( And I suspect they reach all the way to our now soiled WH. )

acorn is looking like the black panther thugs more and more.

If they (acorn) keeps most of their trash on board, a fight could
be the next big thing thay start here in these hardening times in America.

If we can stop our tax dollars from supporting their crimes,
most of their militant members may find other means of income.

Let me get this right. We are using taxpayer money to fund a group which is guilty of voter fraud and is now using our money to lobby to attack our freedoms. What kind of twilight zone have we wandered into?

...liberals would have to include conservative point of views in their rags.

The liberal idea of a "conservative" is laughable! David Gergan? John McCain?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he were to ever arm ACORN to act against US citizens, it’s all over. Welcome to the 2nd revolution. I don’t think Americans would tolerate that.

This is an extreme case of the pot calling the kettle black. Audacity has a new definition.
