ACORN Just Got Stripped of All Public Funding (Ammendment passed 83-7)   Updated at 6:35 AM
   
An ammendment was just tacked onto the HUD and Transportation funding bill. How is it Repukes can get anything they want done by slipstreaming an ammendment onto any bill but we're stuck fighting about a PO?

http://www.cdobs.com/archive/featured/durbin-burris-vot...

Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) introduced an amendment to the HUD and Transportation appropriation bill to strip ACORN of all federal funding. A week ago, Johanns wouldn’t have gotten the amendment to the floor. Today, however, after three straight days of BigGovernment.com’s video exposés of ACORN offices in Washington DC, New York City, and Baltimore offering assistance to pimping, tax evasion, and trafficking in underage Salvadorean girls, Johanns not only got his vote — but he got an impressive bipartisan showing. The Senate passed the Johanns amendment 83-7.

The seven Senators supporting ACORN:

Dick Durbin (D-IL)
Roland Burris (D-IL)
Robert Casey (D-PA)
Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

1. Well it looks like the RW won.
   
A group that worked in the community taken down based on video from some right winged asshats with an agenda. Do we even have evidence besides this (potentially doctored) tape?

26. advocates for child sex trafficking too
   
since that clearly wasn't a deterrent to them offering great advice on tax evasion and business advice for child sex traffickers to evade the long arm of the law.

and at taxpayer expense!

what a great advocate!

Well.....they have more bad news coming, as there is a new ACORN tape coming out, this time from some office in California, where ACORN representatives admit to running hookers themselves, and one possibly admitting to murder.......nice group.......

No DUmbass.  We ALL won.  These were leeches on society.  Nothing more and they will not be missed.  Wooo Hooo for the tax payer.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Hannah was on last night with Breitbart, she did confirm another video is coming out today.

BTW, that chick is a MAJOR babe.  The Acorn looneys should have known that street hookers don't look that good.

34. This likely will have legs...
 99% of the population doesn't read beyond the headline. The headline is "ACORN caught in child prostitution sting"
No company wants to be even indirectly associated with that. A company doesn't even want to have to explain how/why the story is more complex that than. Some PR is just toxic. They likely will get a lot of strings cut.

Interesting 1st sentence for the username.

Glenn's covering it at 5:00.   This really is an entertaining development. 

I cannot believe that Paulsby's not been deep-sixed.  He occasionally comes up with sensical comments.

Since you have FOX, Glen Beck is airing the entire tape on his show at 5 PM eastern.........he is devoting the entire hour to the tape.

Yup, and he doesn't need them anymore as the election is over.  Listen for the thud as he throws them all under the bus.

Beck's show is live (5 PM EDT US time), so won't it air there at 10 PM?

The thread involves Paulsby squabbling with everyone else.  Then, the little goon who wants Rush off of Armed Services Radio chimed in with his favorite cause; prompting a funny quote from another:

48. Or at least give equal time to liberal talkers!
 I really don't think that Limbaugh would be able to compete against, for example, Ed Schultz, given a level playing field.
