In lieu of Joe's open thread, I want to talk a little bit about something that happened late yesterday.

FOX's Glenn Beck, whose criticism got a top Obama aide fired this week, has also been agitating about ACORN and its involvement with the 2010 census. The Obama administration has just announced that it is severing its ties with ACORN, and they admitted that they made the move because of the conservative criticism.

The Census Bureau on Friday severed its ties with Acorn, a community organization that Republicans have accused of voter-registration fraud.

In splitting with Acorn, Mr. Groves sought to tamp down negative publicity that the partnership would taint the 2010 census.

2. Why do they even react to this idiot?
   
Who is making the political decisions in the white house?

This is ****ing embarrassing.

It should be embarrassing ACORN was trying to help commit tax fraud and cover up under age prostitution.

11. Beck didn't fire them,he did expose them
   
I really doubt anyone or very few support a gov't funded organization, Acorn, (they take funds), proactively setting up a house of prostitution.

Skirting tax laws and lets be honest, this house would have been in a area where people who need real help and are trying to live crime free and raise thier children.

Not every Acorn employee is corrupt but those who are should be removed.

and ACORN should have trained it's people so tightly, and have such tight procedures, that that should never have happened.


Especially given that they knew they were being over-scrutinized by the public.

Yeah ACORN should have trained them not to be so blatant when it comes to fraud.


ACORN screwed up and somehow it's the racist repukes fault.  :mental:

spanone seems to be actively trying to get frank to declare him/her/it "the stupidest person on the internet".

As that title is currently in use, maybe frank can work up an equally snazzy title for spanone.

Just another display of the arrogant incompetence that O is.

We on this side have been pointing this stuff out for years now and he either thought he was all powerful enough to pull it off or just so raw stupid he didn`t see it.

Regardless he is on his way to being a lame duck before his first anniversary in office and I just pray that no one on our side puts their arm around him to carry him past that.

I started a Tea Party thread in Breaking News, from reports it looks like there are about 1 1/2 million there already. Hopefully people will notice.

All of this should tell the DUmmies that truth always wins out and eventually corruption and dishonesty are never acceptable.

So now the DUmmies are for Tax Fraud and child postitution? They sink lower everytime. It must escape their tiny little brain cells that even telling someone how to commit a crime is called Conspiracy. Judge Napolitano said on the radio that there was at least 15 years worth of jail time waithing for those two dumb**** Aclown employees.

The Dummies would support dragging people out of their homes and shooting them in the streets if it meant that their Statist agenda would be moved forward by doing it.

If ACORN is innocent DUmmies then why fire the two employee's? They have laws for wrongfull termination you know. Then again you would have to actually hold a job longer then 30-90 days to probably get that far in the work force to understand that.

Conservatives=assholes

Black female employees encouraging ways to defraud the IRS and facilitate a child prostitution ring=something the government should coddle and encourage

Seriously, although Obama is running scared of his own association and I think that mostly motivates it, let's be honest here dummies: what these ACORN employees did will bring illegitemacy to the census results if they were allowed to be involved now. They've shown themselves to encourage subverting the very government they would have worked for. Even Obama can't be stupid enough not to connect the dots there. And liberals are supposed to be soooo enlightened and smart. I've seen firsthand how they shoot themselves in their proverbial foots when they treat conservatives like idiots and try and talk in code behind their back. When they get called on their shit they try and go one thousand other directions and attack rather then address their own hypocrisy. That DU thread is just another case in point. Attack Glenn Beck, attack the two young people who did this, attack, attack, attack conservatives, but never address the real issues this pointed and don't ever point out all the underhanded things ACORN has done over the years to earn the scrutiny they are getting.

You have to train people to NOT be complicit in the importation of underaged sex slaves?

What does that tell you about liberals' moral start point?

And if I may: Even if ACORN had simply "overlooked" this aspect of training what exacty did this pack of lone wolves feel ACORN was able to offer a budding criminl enterprise?

I'm waiting for some of these bodies under the bus to start rolling over to save their own necks. It's only a matter of time.

What is so ironic about these DUmmies is they don't even realize they are being thrown under the bus by their president and congress. 

*If they think health care for them is restrictive now, just wait until this goes through (yet they will still blame it on republicans).

*If they actually think this democratic congress cares about them or what they think, they should at least attempt to think again (yet they will still blame everything on the republicans).

Talk about placing blind trust in fools.  They always have and they will continue to do so.
