This is the very definition of entitlement. In a related move, there was another tape released by those activists with the camcorder and chinchilla coat.

America is the only river in the world where the leaches sue when you try to pick them off.

Excellent analogy. Thanks for the laugh (although it’s not funny that it is true)

These types are the ultimate parasitic organisms. They will destroy the host while destroying themselves in the process.

If Acorn can sue for this, then Americans can sue congress for giving Criminals Tax money, and Boeing can sue for Defense spending cuts.

An ACORN act of desperation.

Crap reminds me of someone who is robbing your house blind, you shot them, they then turn around and sue you for their being shot........while robbing you.

They're going international, just in case they do kill this particular host (or the host's "natural defenses" start breaking out the rails, tar and feathers).
