VIDEO: Vadum vs Thom Hartmann on “Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American”

I was on top-rated  progressive talk radio host Thom Hartmann’s TV program on Wednesday. We discussed my apparently controversial American Thinker op-ed “Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American” which explains the Cloward-Piven Strategy as applied to the electoral system. Here is the video clip: * * * * * America needs to know that 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, pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know … Continue reading VIDEO: Vadum vs Thom Hartmann on “Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American”

Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny’s “Citizen Radio”

I enjoyed listening to the Sept. 6 edition of Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny’s podcast “Citizen Radio.” These two liberals didn’t seem to understand the argument I made in my American Thinker op-ed and it sounds like they relied on somebody’s goofy interpretation of my article instead of actually reading it. But at times they’re kinda funny even though they ramble endlessly and can’t stop their knees from jerking – and they’re a helluva lot more pleasant to listen to than serious-as-a-heart-attack Thom Hartmann. (Caution: Because of the language used the podcast is NSFW – Not Safe for Work – so … Continue reading Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny’s “Citizen Radio”

Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer.

Obama’s Defilement of 9/11

My latest article in Front Page Magazine: Obama’s Defilement of 9/11 By Matthew Vadum As the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks approaches, President Obama is again pushing his “National Day of Service” in an effort to pervert the meaning of that terrible day for partisan political purposes. In his weekly address on Aug. 27, Obama urged Americans to do volunteer work this Sept. 11, a day that the administration ought to officially call the “National Day of Ignoring Islamofascism.” The president said Americans should do something to serve their communities on that day “to honor the victims of 9/11 and … Continue reading Obama’s Defilement of 9/11

Shrieking on the Left

“Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods,” the great libertarian muckraker H.L. Mencken once opined. Of course he was right. Leftists double down on this idea when they support turning welfare offices into voter registration centers. It is a subversive, antisocial act, as I argued in my recent American Thinker op-ed, “Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American.” That’s why Richard Cloward, Frances Fox Piven, ACORN, and a host of other left-wing, Saul Alinsky-inspired community organizing outfits were so delighted with the Motor-Voter law signed into law in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. These activists wanted to encourage welfare dependency … Continue reading Shrieking on the Left

Rick Hasen isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer

Left-wingers often have problems with reading comprehension. A case in point is Rick Hasen of Election Law Blog. In my recent American Thinker op-ed, “Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American,” I argued that it is destructive to register welfare recipients to vote so that they can vote themselves more government benefits. It is even worse that our tax dollars are used to register welfare recipients at welfare offices. It is a policy that would cause the Founding Fathers to roll over in their graves. Yet Hasen misrepresents my views. He writes Wow.  Deny the right to vote the poor … Continue reading Rick Hasen isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer

No, Your Majesty, Congress Will Not Be Available Wednesday

Will Sergeant at Arms Wilson Livingood slam the doors of the House of Representatives shut in President Obama’s face if he shows up uninvited Wednesday? The president has asked to address a joint session of Congress that day in order to deliver for the umpteenth time another dreary, excuse-filled teleprompted oration on how he’s going to magically create new jobs for Americans. The Obama White House doesn’t give a farthing’s cuss that a high-stakes Republican presidential candidates’ debate has been scheduled for the same evening at the Reagan Library. Obama flak Jay Carney says the timing is a fluke. As the Washington Examiner reports White House … Continue reading No, Your Majesty, Congress Will Not Be Available Wednesday

Bringing Jihad TV to America

My latest article at Front Page Magazine… Bringing Jihad TV to America By Matthew Vadum Leftists are pushing to make Al Jazeera’s English language channel widely available on college campuses and cable TV networks throughout America in order to undermine public support for Israel. Radical activist Phyllis Bennis explained the importance of the TV channel at a recent “Campaign for Al Jazeera English” event in Washington, D.C., hosted by a group called Rethink Press. “If there were Al Jazeera access in every city in this country, building a movement to challenge U.S. foreign policy, to make it something different than … Continue reading Bringing Jihad TV to America

Weigel Laughs in the Face of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

My friend David Weigel over at Slate thinks it’s knee-slappingly hilarious that lawmakers took the time to prohibit federal funding of President Obama’s favorite activist group in the proposed Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act.  He writes in a blog post sarcastically titled “Good News: Stalled FEMA Funding Bill Bans ACORN Funding”: I’ve been poking around today on an emerging issue: What will be cut in order to fund FEMA’s obligations for Hurricane Irene recovery? The search takes me to the text of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, which was narrowly passed by the House but sits stalled in the Senate. … Continue reading Weigel Laughs in the Face of Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

More coverage of Buffy Wicks and “Project Vote”

After I wrote up the story of ACORN-tied dirty trickster Buffy Wicks being put in charge of the Obama 2012 campaign “Project Vote” initiative, two media outlets interviewed me. Here is a link to the WND article and another to the Newsmax article. * * * * * America needs to know that 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.

Obama Dirty Tricks Operative Buffy Wicks to Run Campaign Unit Named After ACORN’s Voter Fraud Factory

An article of mine from Big Government: Obama Dirty Tricks Operative Buffy Wicks to Run Campaign Unit Named  After ACORN’s Voter Fraud Factory By Matthew Vadum One of the co-conspirators in a White House-approved plot to use federal resources to produce partisan propaganda to advance President Obama’s policy agenda has been chosen to lead an Obama 2012 get-out-the-vote (GOTV) effort. The Obama operative chosen to head the GOTV effort, Buffy Wicks, was deputy director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. In that capacity she participated in a now-infamous 2009 conference call in which Obama officials urged artists to create … Continue reading Obama Dirty Tricks Operative Buffy Wicks to Run Campaign Unit Named After ACORN’s Voter Fraud Factory

Darby Made Them Do It?

A new article of mine from Front Page Magazine: Darby Made Them Do It?  By Matthew Vadum As I write in my new book Subversion Inc., Brandon Darby has been a target ever since it was publicly revealed that he saved the lives of innocent Americans by thwarting the planned fire-bombing of the 2008 Republican Convention by two anarchists. Left-wing activists have harassed Darby in his hometown of Austin, Texas, threatening cafes and other businesses he frequents for committing the sin of serving him. Some activists have issued death threats against him. As David Horowitz, Andrew Breitbart, and Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore … Continue reading Darby Made Them Do It?

ACORN, Eh? Canadian Alinskyites Extort Money Mart, Western Union

(I’ll be on Fox Business channel at 10:00 Eastern tonight discussing this blog post which was originally posted at Big Government.) ACORN wants a cut of the huge international remittance business, valued worldwide at US$444 billion. So the organized crime syndicate is trying to shake down the financial services companies that handle those international money transfers. In Canada, the local arm of ACORN is trying to shake down Money Mart and Western Union. ACORN, which used to employ President Obama, is hitting these two companies because it wants them to pay it protection money. The corporate shakedown is just one … Continue reading ACORN, Eh? Canadian Alinskyites Extort Money Mart, Western Union

Obama’s Backdoor Amnesty

I have an article in Front Page Magazine today about President Obama’s new immigration policy. No matter what he calls it, it is an amnesty. Here is the top of the piece: The Obama administration’s new immigration amnesty is a purely political calculation intended to shore up the president’s sagging support among Latino voters. President Obama has a habit of not enforcing laws he doesn’t like. He doesn’t like the Defense of Marriage Act so he won’t defend it in the court. He doesn’t like energy exploration so he has ignored court order after court order that would allow deep-water … Continue reading Obama’s Backdoor Amnesty

Sentencing ACORN

I had a piece in Front Page Magazine about the sentencing of ACORN. Here’s the top of it: After more than 40 years of waging war against America’s democratic institutions, the lawless ACORN gang has finally been brought to justice. Sort of. ACORN, the organization that brought Americans the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (the “Motor Voter” law), which makes election fraud a breeze, was sentenced for felony voter fraud in Las Vegas last week. The nonprofit group famous for turning graveyards across the nation into Democratic strongholds, had previously pleaded guilty to unlawful compensation for registration of voters, … Continue reading Sentencing ACORN

ACORN Voter Fraud Sentencing: Vadum on Fox Business tonight at about 10:40 Eastern time

I’ll be on “Follow the Money” on Fox Business at around 10:40 p.m. Eastern tonight. We’ll be discussing the sentence the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) received last week in Las Vegas today for its role in a massive voter fraud conspiracy. Judge Donald Mosley said if an individual, as opposed to a corporation, had been before him, he would have handed down a 10-year prison sentence. “And I wouldn’t have thought twice about it,” he said. Mosley criticized ACORN, which used to employ President Obama, for making a “mockery” of America’s electoral process. “This isn’t a … Continue reading ACORN Voter Fraud Sentencing: Vadum on Fox Business tonight at about 10:40 Eastern time

Romney Hecklers in Iowa Part of Radical Street Thug Group

Those obnoxious hecklers who tried to shout down Mitt Romney at the Iowa State Fair last week weren’t just random Iowans trying to participate in the democratic process, as I write at Front Page Magazine. They were members of a Marxist, ACORN-like group called Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (Iowa CCI). Iowa CCI is an affiliate of a street thug outfit called National People’s Action (NPA). NPA may not be corrupt like ACORN but they’re still bad people. NPA is participating in a nationwide economic terrorism campaign with the new ACORN front groups and SEIU aimed at destabilizing the nation’s … Continue reading Romney Hecklers in Iowa Part of Radical Street Thug Group
