Mississippi NAACP leader sent to prison for 10 counts of voter fraud

The NAACP is trying to outdo ACORN in the realm of voter fraud. While Stephen Colbert was busy mocking Republicans and this writer for daring to think voter fraud is a serious problem, NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers was sitting in jail, sentenced to five years imprisonment for 10 counts of voter fraud. And this wasn’t just voter registration fraud, one of the most common forms of voter fraud. Sowers cast ballots in the names of 10 actual people, four of whom were dead at the time. All is revealed in a just-published article I wrote for The Daily Caller. Of … Continue reading Mississippi NAACP leader sent to prison for 10 counts of voter fraud

ACORN’s Garbage Stunt at Wells Fargo Backfires

Nobody ever said all the criminal street thugs at ACORN were bright. The left-wing astroturfers of ACORN’s new front group in California, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), were behind a garbage-dumping stunt at a branch of Wells Fargo bank in San Jose, Calif. News reports consistently depict the players as angry homeowners who spontaneously erupted in a spasm of righteous indignation. As if. These “homeowners” were reportedly unhappy about the upkeep at a foreclosed property they thought Wells Fargo was responsible for so they decided to dump uncollected garbage at the bank. The problem is that while Wells … Continue reading ACORN’s Garbage Stunt at Wells Fargo Backfires

Talk radio legend Bob Grant interviews author Matthew Vadum

The legendary Bob Grant (77 WABC New York City) interviewed me about my book Subversion Inc. on July 24, 2011.  Here’s the radio interview turned into a YouTube video: * * * * * 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 it and will use any means to do it. Buy the book Subversion Inc. at Amazon and in … Continue reading Talk radio legend Bob Grant interviews author Matthew Vadum

Does Obama support SEIU/ACORN-led economic terror campaign against JPMorgan Chase?

Does President Obama approve of the SEIU/ACORN-led economic terrorism campaign that is now directed at JPMorgan Chase? It seems like a reasonable question to ask. SEIU is President Obama’s favorite union and ACORN is his favorite community organizing outfit. The campaign, engineered by SEIU board member Stephen Lerner, is designed, in Lerner’s words, “to disrupt and create uncertainty for capital, for how corporations operate … there are actually extraordinary things that we could do right now that would start to destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement.” According to White House visitor logs, “Stephen … Continue reading Does Obama support SEIU/ACORN-led economic terror campaign against JPMorgan Chase?

Obama officials admit POTUS was lying about default

President Obama has no intention of allowing the U.S. government to default on its financial obligations regardless of whether the government’s borrowing limit is raised, Charlie Gasparino of Fox Business reports. This means that the president has been bargaining in bad faith with congressional leaders by raising the specter of a default, knowing full well he won’t allow it to happen. This is another way of putting it: the president has been lying to the nation. As Gasparino writes While officials from the Obama Administration raised their rhetoric over the weekend about the possibility of a debt default if the … Continue reading Obama officials admit POTUS was lying about default

Lost in translation? No, Russia Today, I don’t support raising the U.S. debt ceiling and I didn’t say it should be raised

I was on Russia Today yesterday, the cable channel owned and operated by the Russian government. RT’s website claims I said the U.S. government must raise its borrowing limit and keep on spending. For the record, I may have been a bit tired at the end of a long day Monday when the segments were taped, but that doesn’t mean I took leave of my senses. Although I didn’t take a position outright on the program, I don’t support raising the debt ceiling. It isn’t necessary. The government is taking in all the money it needs to meet its obligations. … Continue reading Lost in translation? No, Russia Today, I don’t support raising the U.S. debt ceiling and I didn’t say it should be raised

BREAKING: ‘New’ ACORN Groups Join SEIU’s Economic Terrorism Campaign Against Lenders, Governments

Newly created ACORN front groups across America have signed on to SEIU’s economic terrorism and sabotage campaign. ACORN, long associated with President Obama, is participating in the disruptive campaign through its newly renamed state chapters. Mortgage and student loan strikes, crippling bank boycotts, intimidation, and who knows what else are all on the agenda. I reported on the emergence of the “new” ACORN groups in my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers. Although ACORN filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy last Election Day, its state chapters have been quietly restructuring under assumed … Continue reading BREAKING: ‘New’ ACORN Groups Join SEIU’s Economic Terrorism Campaign Against Lenders, Governments

Kook Lefty Bloggers Say Sarah Palin, The Right, Caused the Norway Massacres

Often the Left is so predictable. While Norway mourns the deaths of the 92 (so far) shooting victims, kook bloggers at FireDogLake, Democratic Underground, and elsewhere are already labelling the alleged killer to be “right wing.” This meme appears to have started with a comment made by a Norwegian political science professor who speculated that the shooter might be “right wing.” Even Sarah Palin is now being blamed for the shooting because the suspect reportedly favored the creation of a European Tea Party. The media keeps repeating the mantra that the shooter is “right wing.” But what does it even mean to be “right wing” … Continue reading Kook Lefty Bloggers Say Sarah Palin, The Right, Caused the Norway Massacres

Voter Fraud: What a knee slapper! Matthew Vadum on “The Colbert Report”

I was on “The Colbert Report” last night — for maybe a second, held up for ridicule because I believe voter fraud is a bad thing. (full video at bottom of this post) All I’m quoted saying is the phrase “voter fraud” in a segment mocking the idea that such a thing even exists in America. As I’ve shown in my book, Subversion Inc., voter fraud is amazingly prevalent. Over 54 people associated with ACORN have been convicted of voter fraud, which is a blanket term covering myriad election law infractions. Hilarious, isn’t it? (hat tip BruinKid at Daily Kos, … Continue reading Voter Fraud: What a knee slapper! Matthew Vadum on “The Colbert Report”

American Prospect’s Gabriel Arana joins the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club

The list of ACORN’s defenders in the media continues to grow. Gabriel Arana is the latest useful idiot to join the club. Here’s what this dishonest leftist wrote in a piece concerning Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.): The entire story has all the trappings of a contrived scandal; one cannot but draw a parallel to the James O’Keefe ACORN hullabaloo, in which O’Keefe posed as a pimp seeking advice about his prostitution business and then edited the tape to smear the organization. To be sure, all journalism—on the right as well as the left—tends toward sensationalism, and no doubt part of … Continue reading American Prospect’s Gabriel Arana joins the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club

More hate speech from Media Matters

The fascists at Media Matters for America (MMfA) never tire of their war on free speech. All views on the right are labeled by the George Soros-funded group as conservative misinformation, i.e. hate speech. Now these cretins are trying to stir up xenophobic hatred towards News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Australia. It’s the same kind of tactic they routinely accuse conservatives of. An email just went out from MMfA with the subject line, “Not in America, Mr. Murdoch.” It refers to the News Corp. hacking scandal way over in Britain. MMfA smells blood in … Continue reading More hate speech from Media Matters

BREAKING: Even As They Devour Your Tax Dollars, the Deadbeat Thugs of ACORN Housing Owe $163,000 in Back Taxes

The criminals at ACORN, President Obama’s former employer, never stop ripping off American taxpayers. The massive conglomerate ACORN Housing Corp. and its subsidiaries owe an eye-popping $162,813 in back taxes, according to the Nexis public records database. The money is owed to the IRS, California, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, the city of Philadelphia, and the California counties of Fresno and Santa Clara. (The 106 tax liens are listed at the bottom of this article.) Like a con artist trying to escape his past, ACORN Housing legally changed its name to Affordable … Continue reading BREAKING: Even As They Devour Your Tax Dollars, the Deadbeat Thugs of ACORN Housing Owe $163,000 in Back Taxes

Whoops! It turns out Obama gave ACORN $541K this year, not the $80K previously reported

Updated the same night: Developing…see the bottom of this entry. Remember that story from a few days ago, the one about the Obama administration giving ACORN a $79,819 grant in March despite a federal law that prohibits the government from giving money to ACORN? It turns out that sum is a lowball figure. I discovered Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gave ACORN another $461,086 in January. The funds were earmarked for ACORN Housing Corp. in January under HUD’s Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP), according to the government website USAspending.gov. In order words, the Obama administration gave fraud-ridden ACORN nearly a half … Continue reading Whoops! It turns out Obama gave ACORN $541K this year, not the $80K previously reported

The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes Kenneth Quinnell

Left-wing activist and part-time community college teacher Kenneth Quinnell is the newest member of the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club. Quinnell is involved in something called the Florida Progressive Coalition and he’s an Adjunct Instructor in History at Tallahassee Community College. Citing fellow useful idiot, Terry Krepel, who works for George Soros’s Media Matters character assassination squad, Quinnell claims ACORN is dead and buried. I know people who worked for ACORN. They all get paychecks from other jobs now because, you know, you conservatives killed ACORN by lying about it and convincing otherwise sane Democrats to jump ship and abandon their allies. Tedious stuff. I’ve … Continue reading The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes Kenneth Quinnell

Congressman Tim Scott: Obama Bypassing Congress on Debt Ceiling is “Impeachable Act”

If President Obama unilaterally raises the nation’s debt ceiling without the consent of Congress, it would be an “impeachable act,” Congressman Tim Scott (R-S.C.) told his constituents. (Incidentally, I said the same thing in this space two days ago.) Scott said This president is looking to usurp congressional oversight to find a way to get it done without us. My position is that is an impeachable act from my perspective. There’s lots of things people say, ‘Are you going to impeach the president over that?’ – No. But this? This is catastrophic. This jeopardizes the credibility of our nation if … Continue reading Congressman Tim Scott: Obama Bypassing Congress on Debt Ceiling is “Impeachable Act”

ACORN sings as America burns

It’s not enough for ACORN and community organizers across the land just to swing a wrecking ball at the foundations of this great republic – they have to gloat about it too. It’s no secret that ACORN and other radical groups such as La Raza, SEIU, and MoveOn are delighted that the welfare rolls are exploding everywhere. An appalling 1 in 7 Americans now receives food stamps and there are 70 bloated federal welfare programs. It’s the legacy of the failed $16 trillion War on Poverty – and President Obama, who erased the welfare reforms of the 1990s, wants to … Continue reading ACORN sings as America burns

The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes the deranged Nicole Sandler

Whackjob radio host Nicole Sandler is the newest member of the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club. Sandler is the shrieking harpy who recently screamed at undercover videographer James O’Keefe. Apparently this is what Sandler thinks an interview consists of: Sandler remains a steadfast ACORN voter fraud denier. As guest host on the “Randi Rhodes Show,” Sandler interviewed ACORN hagiographer John Atlas. ACORN wasn’t forced to dissolve its national structure because it was hopelessly corrupt, but because it “was brought down by some unscrupulous miscreants,” according to Sandler. Snort. * * * * * America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to … Continue reading The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes the deranged Nicole Sandler

Obama’s end run around Congress on debt ceiling may be an impeachable offense

Not that I’ve been watching closely, but so far I count as least four possible grounds for the impeachment of the president of these United States. I am not suggesting impeachment proceedings would be a good idea. I’m just keeping score, the same thing the president does. The latest impeachment ground, if President Obama follows through on it, is his kingly proposal to raise the federal government’s debt ceiling without congressional approval. Liberals are often impervious to reason, preferring to see the Constitution as authorizing everything they see as good and prohibiting everything they see as bad. “When a crisis … Continue reading Obama’s end run around Congress on debt ceiling may be an impeachable offense
