Why is Obama apparently defying federal law by funding ACORN? Judicial Watch discovered the administration is flouting the will of Congress by giving federal money to ACORN.Obama's HUD  gave a $79,819 grant to the largest branch of the ACORN tree, ACORN Housing Corp. . AHC filed papers last year legally changing its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America. Worse yet, the grant funds a political agitation and indoctrination program. Here's HUD's euphemistic description of the program: Education and Outreach Initiative grants (EOI) - HUD awarded $6.8 million to organizations that educate the public and housing providers about their rights and obligations under federal, state,...

Subprime mortgage hucksters Herb and Marion Sandler, who founded World Savings Bank, paid ACORN $11 million.In an incredible non-coincidence ACORN stirred up trouble for the left-wing couple's competition, Wells Fargo.ACORN demonstrated against Wells Fargo and issued slanted studies attacking Wells Fargo. The Sandlers also used their front group, the so-called Center for Responsible Lending, to smear their competition. Ultimately Wachovia committed suicide when it purchased the Sandlers' shaky mortgage portfolio. The Sandlers even made it onto Time magazine's "25 People to Blame for the Financial Crisis" list.That's what I wrote in my new book Subversion Inc: How Obama's ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off...

I was on the S.E. Cupp Show yesterday talking about my book Subversion Inc.The video is http://www.glennbeck.com/secupp/?uri=channels%2F454003%2F1349032 My segment starts at about the 8:00 mark: ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, Machiavellian pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.

The New York Times reports that James O'Keefe III has secured tax-exempt status for his nonprofit citizen journalism group Project Veritas. With Hannah Giles, O'Keefe ran the undercover video sting that exposed the corruption of ACORN, President Obama's former employer and legal client. More recently he ran a video sting that showed NPR's willingness to accept donations from Islamofascists. From the NYT report: "It will help us expand as an organization and institution," Mr. O'Keefe said in an interview on Thursday. He said the money saved with the status would help Project Veritas train and equip "an army" of citizen...

When AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka, an ACORN ally, told members of the United Mine workers in Illinois to "kick the [expletive] out of every last" worker violating picket lines, the question was raised about just exactly how far "political" speech can go, according to a new book. Perhaps, not that far, suggests the stunning new publication, "Subversion Inc.," by award-winning investigative journalist Matthew Vadum, senior editor at Capital Research Center. The book suggests ACORN's "anti-democratic, un-American activities are not legitimate political advocacy protected by the First Amendment. They cry out for prosecution under federal racketeering laws." Significantly, the book reports,...
