I thought Acorn already received taxpayer funds through various indirect mechanisms, I seem to recall stories on this here on FR in the past.
That’s interesting. I just heard on Bill Bennett’s radio show yesterday that Stanley Kurtz has uncovered evidence in the Univ of IL at Chicago’s archives that Obama raised money for and directed it to Bill Ayer’s small schools initiative while serving with Acorn. This education initiative is as anti-American as you get and it glorifies the UN and the world. These schools don’t allow American symbols and one of them has their own pledge to the world instead of the US. Think of Obama’s reluctance to wear the flag pin and pledge his allegiance to it.
At the very least, Obama’s insistence that his past association with Ayers is minimal has been outed as a downright lie and Kurtz has also discovered what he thinks will become evidence of a coverup involving a NY Times reporter. He emailed Ayers’ two associates regarding FOI requests. Forget the details, but this just happened last month or so. This association is NOT past. Now this, Congress wanting to fund Obama’s pet interest.
