It's about time that this corrupt organization was exposed - they should all be in jail on RICO charges.

I have to go with Bertha on this one. The GOP is very much likely engaging in McCarthyism.

And as history has proven repeatedly, McCarthy was RIGHT!!!!

As is the GOP about ACORN's illegal practices.

McCarthyism wasn’t all bad. There really WERE communists in Hollywood and enemies of our country.

Yep, McCarthy was proven right.

There WERE communists in hollywood and government,
and ACORN IS a criminal voter fraud and communist infested organization.

We could use a McCarthy with some of the Communists that are in the government right now.

What? That’s it? After two weeks of exposure of ACORN’s serial felonies all they can do is cry McCarthyism?

This is good. It means that no competent law firm or PR firm will touch them with a 10 foot pole.

Leftists NEVER take responsibility for their actions. Obama pretends to take responsibility by saying things like ‘I will take responsibility even though it wasn't my fault’. Watch him. He always takes this tack. ACORN didn't fall far from the Obama tree.

Fools at ACORN seem to be unaware that McCarthy was RIGHT.

ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis yesterday blamed the Bush administration for the organization’s woes and accused Republicans of “ACORN McCarthyism.”

Yes, it was a beautiful example of McCarthyism. Well played.

Also, it could be an example of the beautiful art of swiftboating, if that term can be correctly applied to an organization, as opposed to an individual.

Maybe it will be more appropriate to use the swiftboating term when the uncomfortable personal information about Bertha Lewis comes out and sends her to prison for corruption.

McCarthy checked into Walter Reed for medical attention and he never checked out. No one ever investigated that one.

McCarthy's error was in underestimating and underreporting how many communists had infiltrated the government.

Similarly the Congressional Republicans underestimate ACORN theft.

LOL! We now know McCarthy’s identification of communists in our government was correct.

Bertha Lewis today utters “McCarthyism” but what she really means is RACISM.
