You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

Yes, indeedy - another videotape courtesy of James O’Keefe, the “pimp,” and his “prostitute girlfriend,” Hannah Giles, in a Philadelphia ACORN office. Only this time, O’Keefe is firing back at the ACORN employee who claimed she showed them the door tout de suite. But first, a round-up about this latest video at the [...]

Oh, boy. This doesn’t look good for ACORN, not that much does these days. You may recall that Dale Rathke, one of the two founders of ACORN, had embezzled $1 million dollars, according to this NY Times article. That became the widely accepted amount, not that that embezzlement stopped our government from [...]

That would be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaking out about violence against girls and women at the U.N. After the ad nauseum speeches of President Obama, this is an incredibly refreshing change, even though the subject is intense, to say the least. Still, this one has substance, and isn’t “just words.” [...]

Harry Reid has finally grown a backbone, it seems. His timing for it, though, is disturbing, to say the least. When he was first picked for Senate Majority Leader, I thought that maybe he really would be a stand up guy, a fighter, as his former boxing career would suggest. Well, he’s [...]

Well, it’s about damn time - again. Yes, Rep. Conyers has finally been persuaded - again - to investigate ACORN. Oh, yes, all the recent brouhaha about ACORN, all of the exposure from the faux pimp and prostitute, have FINALLY gotten the House Judiciary Chairman to get off his duff, and investigate ACORN, [...]

This came in from the Boston Globe last night:
The US House today joined the Senate in voting to defund ACORN, the community advocacy group beset by allegations of voter registration fraud and videotapes apparently showing employees advising conservative activists posing as a prostitute and pimp how to break the law.
The measure, offered as [...]

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found [...]

Surprise, surprise - the Senate has FINALLY grown a backbone, and voted 83-7 (and this is not a big surprise - both senators from IL voted against this measure, as well as Hillary Clinton’s replacement - a disappointment) to cut off Housing funds to ACORN. It took the exposure of how ACORN works [...]

James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles strike again. This time in Brooklyn.
The women, Volda and Milagros, in this newest video from Brooklyn, NY, seem slightly less forthcoming than the women from the DC and Baltimore offices. They seem a tad uncomfortable, and don’t look Hannah and James in the eye often. That said, it doesn’t [...]

Yes, it is a Numbers Game today. My blogging buddy, Diamond Tiger at Logistics Monster had this video at her blog today, which I am shamelessly stealing (hey - she’s on HI time - she is up when we East Coasters are dead asleep, even though she is at the March on Washington. [...]

In case you missed Amy’s earlier story, Want To Open A Brothel? Ask ACORN How! UPDATED!!! please read it. ACORN employees in Baltimore were videotaped offering advice on how to set up a brothel, and how to handle 13 year old prostitutes. Glenn Beck covered this Thursday night, also interviewing the woman who posed as [...]

You are simply NOT going to believe this undercover discovery of just what you can get from ACORN on the Taxpayer Dime (do a search for ACORN at No Quarter for reminders about this organization,a s well as ACORN’s connections to Obama and the DNC, especially Barney Frank). Intrepid reporter James O’Keefe found out [...]

Just as a reminder of who Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is, here’s this little clip of her speaking to the “Non-partisan” (HAHAHAHAHA) group, ACORN:

Hell to the yes, he did. You want to guess about what he lied? The Census and ACORN workers, that is. Oh yeah - our fears come true:

Just when you think there cannot possibly be more hidden agendas with ACORN and the people who are affiliated with it, something else turns up. I stumbled onto this video while looking for something else entirely: I don’t usually watch Glenn Beck, but the title sure grabbed my attention:

Here’s a hint - it’s a type of nut. Yep, you got it - Barney Frank is hellbent on giving ACORN* a big ol’ chunk of your change. Oh, they have already gotten a pretty decent amount, an astronomical amount by non-profit standards. Are you sitting down? To date, since 1994, [...]

This is a follow up to the open thread about the new fraud charges brought against ACORN, as covered by Glenn Beck.
You can see my original open thread here.
Here is the continuation of the ACORN saga. Apparently, not only does the National Spokesman for ACORN play the race card, he’s a creepy lech, too.
