ACORN gets the ink

Posted on March 22, 2009 | Comments Off on ACORN gets the ink

The professional "protestors" were outnumbered 2-1 by Big Media, but they got the ink and air time over a "Tea Party" protest seven times as large. The fix she is in. Gee, do ya think?

A “little” stimulus for ACORN

Posted on January 26, 2009 | Comments Off on A “little” stimulus for ACORN

Barry is paying off his campaign debts in the usual Dem way, by throwing taxpayer money at them:

"Incredibly, the Democrats’ [economic stimulus] bill makes groups like ACORN eligible for a $4.19 billion pot of money for ‘neighborhood stabilization activities.’"

Yep, that’ll boost the economy. Well, ACORN’s economy. Hopenchange, folks. Hopenchange. Bleh.

UPDATE: The bill passes the House, opposed by all Reps and eleven Dems. Will it pass the Senate?

Election fraud

Posted on October 15, 2008 | Comments Off on Election fraud

What, Barry try to steal the election? When Big Media, universities, Hollyweird and the pollsters already are in his bag? Does seem like overkill. But that’s what it appears his former employer ACORN has tried to do. Of course, he will say that the eight-hundred-thousand-plus his campaign gave them to get-out-the-vote wasn’t for illegal porpoises. But that might be a fish story.

Barry’s client’s crimes

Posted on October 10, 2008 | Comments Off on Barry’s client’s crimes

Is ACORN out to steal the election? asks Investor’s Business Daily. The "activist" outfit that once employed Barry to sue the state of Illinois, has eight hundred thousand dollars of his campaign money to register new voters–passed to them by a false-front cut-out, the way they do things in Chicago.

But the complaints, investigations and indictments over phony registrations are rolling in–especially in states that don’t require an I.D. to vote. ACORN is another of Barry’s seldom-discussed "executive" positions, from 1992, when he was their executive director for voter registration–oddly enough. Mac better be ready to contest any close results.

It all starts with Acorn

Posted on October 6, 2008 | Comments Off on It all starts with Acorn

If Barry, Acorn’s onetime lawyer, wins the presidency, it will be because Big Media knuckled under to the multiculturalism and "diversity" that began taking over newsrooms in the late eighties. Thus primed to give women and minorities a pass on just about any transgression, the talking pinheads and their print cohorts simply looked the other way, rather than investigate Barry’s solid connections to the biggest financial meltdown since the Great Depression. Electing him to solve the economic problem would be pretty funny if it weren’t so pathetic. It all began with Acorn, Barry’s once and future client.

UPDATE:  Barry, don’t look now, but your old buds are being accused of voter fraud–again.

Barry’s ACORN

Posted on September 29, 2008 | Comments Off on Barry’s ACORN

What the Big Media, and especially Barry’s head cheerleader, the NYTimes, isn’t reporting:

"ACORN also got funding from two charities, the Woods Fund and the Joyce Foundation, when Obama served on their boards, and from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge – the radical "education reform" outfit Obama ran from ’95 to ’99.

"Ironically, the group stood to be a key beneficiary of the goodies Democrats were loading into Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson’s rescue plan – including one demand that 20 percent of any profits the feds make from reselling mortgage securities go to fund groups like ACORN."

Even after GOP reps got ACORN out of the bailout bill, it still was defeated today–with Barry blaming, who else, the GOP.

Dems use bailout for radical pork

Posted on September 26, 2008 | Comments Off on Dems use bailout for radical pork

I had a suspicion the Dems would want to prolong the economic agony as a way to help their presidential candidate. When the economy falters, as the saying goes, the voters turn to the party out of power. Hence liberal Big Media’s partisan assertion all year that we are in a recession, despite the lack of statistical evidence for it.

But it never occurred to me the Dems were so cynical as to try to use the bailout bill to benefit the very groups whose radical missions (in pursuing no-money-down minority housing loans) helped create the mess. No, not Freddie and Fannie, but La Raza, ACORN, and the Urban League.

The Seablogger calls it "a kind of creeping civil war, conducted through politics, in accordance with revolutionary theory," which Mac probably knew about and was determined to thwart when he pulled his return-to-the-Capitol-to-look-presidential stunt. Presidential politics has always been fierce, and 2008 seems especially so, though I suppose if we’d lived in the 1850s, in the runup to the real, shooting Civil War, we might think this was all pretty tame.
