Herb and Marion Sandler, the toxic mortgage king and queen...gave at least $5,723,222 to the ACORN network. Specifically, the charity gave $4,498,222 to American Institute for Social Justice (since 2003), $700,000 to Project Vote (in 2005), $525,000 to ACORN (2000–2001 according to Activist Cash).... According to the "Glenn Beck Program," the Sandlers paid ACORN to send out protesters to hound Wells Fargo Bank, which competed with Golden West, the Sandlers' bank.

“the Sandlers paid ACORN to send out protesters to hound Wells Fargo Bank, which competed with Golden West, the Sandlers’ bank.”

Nice of them. The Sandlers should be hunted down with rabid dogs...

For instance, working with the subprime fatcats Herb and Marion Sandler and George Soros through his Center For American Progress, Mr. Podesta helped start most of the most noxious leftwing organizations in the countrys, such as Media Matters.

The Sandlers also employed the juvenile clown (sorry, his name escapes me) who Obama has named to take over the auto industry.

There is a Soros connection if one can trust Wiki.

They were smart business people, played the system very well, pawned off the bad debt on somebody else, and walked away with many, many millions.

The one skit where a little bit of honesty snuck out of Saturday Night Live made fun of them, George Soros (owner, Democratic Party) and Barney Frank. I doubt it will ever show up on reruns.

NBC scrubbed it, but Beck showed it on his program yesterday and pointed out that he was showing the “scrubbed” show.

They scrubbed the part where the Sandlers thanked a corrupt Congress for helping them make so much money. There was a subtitle at the bottom of the screen identifying them by name, under which it said “People who should be shot”.

Yep. They’re scumbags of the highest order. But somehow everything they did was nice and legal. Go figure.

I am convinced that the entire Democrat Party is a massive criminal enterprise unlike any such enterprise in the history of man.

At some point, I hope and pray the American people come to understand that truth, and throw the rascals out.

Before it is too late to save America.

When will these corrupt people be brought to justice? Why is the media hounding Angelo Mozilo and ignored the wretched Sandlers, who make Angelo look like a saint.

The American people are who empowered the dems and their crooked brethren. Should we now trust the American people to suddenly see the light and turn them out?

For clarity, please let me explain that by “American people” I am talking of the majority that put the dems in a majority in Congress and who choose nobama.

America's only hope is that “those” American people will assume they have done their part by electing this bunch and will not be equally inspired or bothered to re-elect them.
