Lawmaker Calls for ACORN Probe
Canada Free Press ^ | Friday, May 29, 2009 | Matthew Vadum

House Judiciary Committee member Steve King (R-Iowa) is demanding congressional hearings about the twisted finances of the radical activist group ACORN.

“This spider web, this myriad web of ACORN dollars and revenue streams, every bit of them should be looked at, all the corporations that they are networked with all of the boards of directors of those corporations, the inner locking connecting, the faces that are the same from board to board,” King said.

They should investigate Acorn. They are operating illegally. They should send these people to jail. It’s time to start prosecuting people who are breaking the law and if that includes the POTUS; so be it.

Yeah, ACORN came up a ‘few times’ prior to, during and after the election.

To date:
convictions (4)?, but not directly involved w/Acorn
time served (who cares).
Acorn may now be involved in the Census... wtf?

ACORN (and others working with it) need a thorough investigation, even if it lands on the door step of you-know-who.

The more I hear about Rep. King, the more I like him.

I’m seeing that they are going to be heavily involved in next years’ census too!

I can understand the dims and the msm types ignoring this but the wimpy pubs really need to grow some balls and a spine before its’ too late.

Woops! My bad. With people like M. Steele in charge, introspective cannibalism is the order of the day.

Yes...and it certainly is about time someone from the GOP grew a pair. Michelle Malkin also has a Townhall.com column out on this today, and from every indication this is a serious blunder the Obama Administration would like to see covered up...but there are far too many leaks.

Listen to Barbara West (WFTV Orlando) interview Biden on ACORN and more before the election. He gets very perturbed in this interview and they ban the station from any further interviews:

Yep he’s a comer. Don’t know what his future plans are, so we’ll have to keep an eye out.

Even a lame, halfa$$ed investigation of ACORN would land on Zer0's doorstep. He was representing ACORN cases in court beginning back in the early 90's and was later introduced to an ACORN financier, George Soros. Soros shopped for the perfect dem candidate like shopping for a dog...Zer0 was to be his boy...trained by Alinsky and ACORN.

Excellent interview - She was on point! Pluggs is such a f’ing liar! I’ll bet after that, every interviewer was hand picked and vetted for left wingnut assurance.

Thanks IP—

Glenn Beck has been investigating (and also BOR) but I expect at some point they will just let the story go.
The blatant thuggery in this administration is sickening.
And I’m waiting for some of our reps to stand up and-—oh wait-—forget that.
:(
