My exclusive interview with ACORN whistleblower Anita Moncrief
On April 4 I wrote about the testimony of Heather Heidelbaugh who appeared before Congress to speak about the various shady, if not criminal, actions perpetrated by ACORN (the Association of Community Activists for Reform Now) and its Project Vote offshoot over the last few years -- and especially during the late campaign for the White House. There was vote fraud and financial misdealings galore and it was all perpetrated by a group intimately tied to presidential candidate Barack Obama. Not only that, but it seemed the Old Media was trying to cover it up.
That testimony has been the talk of the country since the end of March. But, as the story has progressed, some of the details that have been accepted as fact have turned out not to be true. It's high time some of these misconceptions be cleared up.

Blowhart Bill O’Reilly hasn't got much right in years. He is always behind the loop and his big mouth ego is enough to make a sane person sick. For a self styled know it all, he is on the bottom.

A tale so convoluted and complex that the sheeple will never care because they won’t understand it.
