The house ain't gonna do shit regarding Acorn. They're too busy slapping Joe Wilson's hand.

Republicans set up ACORN to distract from Joe Wilson's racism.

32. How do we know that the ACORN employees are real?
   
Is it unbelievable that BIG money could have staged the entired affair? Or maybe, you go into an ACORN office where workers are making a little over minimum wage and tell them they will be taken care of for the rest of their lives if they play a little game. You will get fired but we will take care of you. Big money can buy almost anything.

We are talking about very powerful players.

Just another way to look at i

Yup.

As far as I'm concerned, ACORN is no different than a corrupt NY style labor union.  They should receive NO federal (aka taxpayer) funding.

They'll defund ACORN right after they defund Planned Parenthood.

If the Congress pulls all of ACORN's funding, what happens to their work on the Census?

Those thieves shouldn't get another penny.

You know, the piece of this that is really interesting is the way in which the people behind it are using the liberals playbook against them........it is sheer genius.......these tapes are being released a few days apart, and the momentum is starting to build........the MSM is now reluctantly being forced to acknowledge the story, and I'm told that there are even more unreleased tapes out there that are cued up to come out over the next week or so........

Rove has to be behind this.......that magnificent bastard.......

ACORN Announces Reforms After 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' Videos
Quote
ACORN said Wednesday it will stop any "new intakes" — essentially closing its doors to new clients — until it completes an internal investigation prompted by the release of four hidden-camera videos showing workers advising a fake pimp and prostitute to lie to get loans for a brothel.

"As a result of the indefensible action of a handful of our employees, I am, in consultation with ACORN's Executive Committee, immediately ordering a halt to any new intakes into ACORN's service programs until completion of an independent review," ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis said in a statement released Wednesday. "I have also communicated with ACORN's independent Advisory Council, and they will assist ACORN in naming an independent auditor and investigator to conduct a thorough review of all of the organizations relevant systems and processes."

Lewis said that independent auditor would be named no later than Friday and would make recommendations directly to her, as well as the full ACORN board.

"We enter this process with a commitment that all recommendations will be implemented," Lewis' statement continued.

Ironically.....this is the same spokeperson that was stating a couple days ago that the tapes were "doctored".......they need to get their story straight.

She obviously shares Charlie Gibson's bubble of ignorance.

They had a pretty busy couple of days, what with reprimanding Joe Wilson.

Calif. Gov. Schwarzenegger seeks state probe of ACORN (Updated)
September 16, 2009 |  1:48 pm

(UPDATE: 4:48 p.m. California Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger joined a growing chorus of officials today and called on the state's attorney general to launch an investigation into ACORN due to the latest charges of illegal activity by the group, this time in San Bernardino, Calif.

His letter:

    Over the past few days, I have seen a series of news stories regarding the ACORN organization that have concerned me greatly. As you may be aware, the most recent report has come out of San Bernardino.

    Given this, I believe it is appropriate that your office launch a full investigation into ACORN’s activities in California. My administration stands ready to assist in any way necessary.

It'll go nowhere in the 'Rat-dominated Assembly.  This is the same governing body where even the most common-sense laws designed to protect victims invariably never make it out, voted down on party lines.  But they'll vote to ban most ammo in CA.
