Obama Flouts Federal Law, Funds His ACORN Friends Despite Congressional Ban

Why is President Obama apparently defying federal law by funding ACORN? Judicial Watch discovered that the Obama administration is flouting the will of Congress by giving federal taxpayer money to ACORN. Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gave a $79,819 grant to the largest branch of the ACORN tree, ACORN Housing Corp. (AHC). AHC filed papers last year legally changing its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA). It’s the same old organization with a brand new ACORN-free name. Worse yet, the grant funds a political agitation and indoctrination program. Here’s HUD’s euphemistic description of the program: … Continue reading Obama Flouts Federal Law, Funds His ACORN Friends Despite Congressional Ban

Taxpayer funding isn’t a right: Supreme Court saved America from having budgets written by the courts

Here is the top of my op-ed that appeared in yesterday’s Washington Times (and an article at WND quotes me): America’s long-suffering taxpayers scored a resounding victory as the Supreme Court told one of the nation’s foremost tax-eating groups to take a hike. The high court denied an appeal last week by the radical left-wing gangster group ACORN, ruling in effect that Congress was entitled to cut off federal taxpayer funding for the group, which routinely perpetrates voter fraud and encourages welfare recipients to buy houses they have no hope of paying for. ACORN still matters because reports of its demise have been exaggerated. … Continue reading Taxpayer funding isn’t a right: Supreme Court saved America from having budgets written by the courts

Taxpayer Funding Isn’t A Right — Unless You’re Jerrold Nadler

It may sound like an observation worthy of Captain Obvious, but activist groups do not have a constitutional right to taxpayer funding. Amazingly, in ACORN et al. v. U.S. a federal judge in Brooklyn named Nina Gershon, not to be confused with Gina Gershon of Showgirls fame, actually ruled that ACORN had constitutionally protected rights in the congressional appropriations process and that those so-called rights had somehow been violated by an vewy vewy eeeevil vast right-wing conspiracy. Supposedly the Bill of Attainder Clause had been infringed and ACORN had been singled out for punishment without trail. This assumes, of course, that ceasing to fund an odious group … Continue reading Taxpayer Funding Isn’t A Right — Unless You’re Jerrold Nadler

The ACORN Useful Idiot Club welcomes Peter Hart of “FAIR”

So many ACORN crime deniers, so little time. The latest to join the ACORN Useful Idiot Club is Peter Hart, the “activism director” at FAIR, which stands for Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting. Hart bitches about Andrew Breitbart, who publicized the undercover ACORN videos, calling him a “right-wing scam artist” and an “[i]nk [b]lot.” He whines about a New York Times profile on Breitbart which described the videos as depicting, in the words of the newspaper, “ACORN workers offering advice on how to evade taxes and conceal child prostitution.” This shameless liar states That wasn’t the lesson of the ACORN videos … Continue reading The ACORN Useful Idiot Club welcomes Peter Hart of “FAIR”

Justice Has Never Been High on Eric Holder’s Docket

Although Eric Holder, who cannot conceal his visceral contempt for conservatives, heads the U.S. Department of Justice, doing the right thing isn’t high on his list of priorities. As Barack Obama gears up to use the White House (illegally?) for fundraising purposes, a case in point is the “maxed out” donors scandal. As I explain in my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, former ACORN employee Anita MonCrief testified under oath in 2008 that the Obama campaign gave a list of “maxed out” campaign donors to ACORN’s voter mobilization … Continue reading Justice Has Never Been High on Eric Holder’s Docket

ACORN is terrorizing and ripping off Canadian taxpayers too

ACORN is terrorizing and ripping off Canadian taxpayers too. I wrote about it in Canada Free Press. 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, Machiavellian pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it. Buy the book at Amazon.

The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club Welcomes Cynthia Tucker

Atlanta Journal-Constitution pontificator Cynthia Tucker is never right about, well, anything, so it’s no surprise that she too has become an ACORN voter fraud denier. (By the way, it’s more fun when Rush Limbaugh calls the paper the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, isn’t it?) Opines the columnist who is slightly to the right of Che, I know what you’re thinking: What about ACORN and its massive fraud? Well, quiet as it’s kept, neither ACORN nor its hired hands engaged in voter fraud. Because of its sloppy management practices, ACORN ended up with a few cheating workers who registered children or ex-felons or … Continue reading The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club Welcomes Cynthia Tucker

O’Reilly Factor: Newt Gingrich Lays Into Sarah Palin, Rudy Giuliani

Laura Ingraham discussed my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, on the “O’Reilly Factor” last night. Ingraham noted that, according to Subversion Inc., Gingrich criticized Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani for treating Barack Obama’s background in radical left-wing community organizing as a joke. In my exclusive interview with Gingrich he said throwing rhetorical potshots at Obama at the 2008 Republican national convention “trivialized” Obama who is not at all a trivial person. In Gingrich’s view, Palin and Giuliani should have warned Americans about how dangerous and radical Obama was. Here is the … Continue reading O’Reilly Factor: Newt Gingrich Lays Into Sarah Palin, Rudy Giuliani

Newt Gingrich unloads on Sarah Palin, Rudy Giuliani in an exclusive interview

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) spoke his mind in an explosive, exclusive interview that’s only in my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers. Gingrich criticized Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani for treating Barack Obama’s background in radical left-wing community organizing as a joke.

Terrorist-Linked ACORN Shill Brad Friedman Lies, Lies, and Lies Some More

Left-wing pseudojournalist Brad Friedman thinks everything reported about ACORN is overblown. It’s all a scheme concocted by a vast right-wing conspiracy. Clearly he hasn’t read my book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers. Friedman, who routinely chokes on his own robust self-esteem, is often a substitute host on the “Mike Malloy Show.” Malloy has serious, shall we say, psychiatric issues. He has called for the murder of former President George W. Bush, described Fox News as a “terrorist organization” that “wants to burn the country down,” and characterized Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) … Continue reading Terrorist-Linked ACORN Shill Brad Friedman Lies, Lies, and Lies Some More

Taxpayers continue footing bill for unbelievable coverup: Author: Federal report ‘whitewashes’ activist group’s dangers

WND has a story today quoting me regarding the awful Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on ACORN. It begins Forty years of uninterrupted lawbreaking by ACORN, Barack Obama’s former employer, are ignored in a controversial new report by the supposedly nonpartisan Government Accountability Office, according to an expert on the controversial group. “This so-called study reads like it was created by teenaged interns who spent a few hours looking things up on Google,” author Matthew Vadum told WND. “What a joke,” he said. “It’s a shameless whitewash perpetrated at the highest levels,” said Vadum, an award-winning investigative journalist whose stunning … Continue reading Taxpayers continue footing bill for unbelievable coverup: Author: Federal report ‘whitewashes’ activist group’s dangers

Pedophiles Weep as Supreme Court Backs Congressional Cutoff of ACORN Funding

The U.S. Supreme Court today denied a petition for review from ACORN, ruling in effect that Congress was absolutely entitled to cut off federal taxpayer funding of ACORN, the depraved radicals who used to employ President Obama. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now had asked the high court to review a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit which found that the funding cutoff was not a “bill of attainder” banned by the Constitution. ACORN had advanced the nonsensical argument that Congress had no power to stop funding the group unless it could prove … Continue reading Pedophiles Weep as Supreme Court Backs Congressional Cutoff of ACORN Funding

Are there ONLY four reasons why Eric Alterman ‘sucks’?

Somebody over at the Nation magazine has thin skin. Worthless pseudointellectual pseudojournalist Eric Alterman didn’t like my blog post calling him out for his lie that ACORN has ceased to exist. In fact, as I pointed out, ACORN’s two largest affiliates (ACORN Housing and Project Vote) continue to operate and ACORN’s state chapters are continuing to do business under new names. In an amusingly titled blog post (“Four Reasons I Suck”) the Nation poseur writes Let me be clear. I do think this Matthew Vadum fellow is an idiot, though the above is all I know about him, so for … Continue reading Are there ONLY four reasons why Eric Alterman ‘sucks’?
