Longtime ACORN Ally Bob Casey Stands By His Favorite Group
by Matthew VadumThe Senate overwhelmingly approved a legislative amendment Monday that would block ACORN from receiving federal funding. ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the ongoing criminal conspiracy that the mainstream media is suddenly interested in.
In the Monday roll call, only seven senators voted no.
Of the seven pro-ACORN senators, longtime Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pennsylvania) is the most outspoken supporter of ACORN.
Of the group that organizes forcible entry and occupation of homes in order to lead proletarian revolution against capitalism, Casey is shown saying on an ACORN promotional video (just after 5:00):
So for ACORN to step into that breach and say, we in the case of ACORN will step in and try to help families, to be their advocate, to be their voice, is critically important. Because as important as it is here in Washington to pass legislation in the House and the Senate –that’s obviously important– but we cannot do this alone.
CQ’s Bill Pascoe thinks Casey might have just committed political suicide by voting to continue federal funding of ACORN.

♫ ♪ ♫Mighty, Mighty, ACORN ♫ ♪ ♫ Corrupt as Heeelllll!
It is phony and fake to be a Democrat with a record of supporting ACORN and now ACT outraged.
Any politician who continues to support ACORN in light of the videos showing willful collusion to commit child prostitution should be removed from office. I somehow doubt that the average American thinks their elected representatives should be supporting a group that advocates breaking the law.
Bob Casey? Ok, that explains it. He needs voted out of Pennsylvania, along with that blithering corrupt buffoon Murtha, RINO-now-Democrat Arlen Spinchter, and Fast Eddie the Governor. They are all Liberal Fascists…..
Aw, ain't loyalty a beautiful thing?
With one little dot com slapped on the end, Big Government has become a beautiful thing!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to James O'Keefe, Hannah Giles and all of you who’ve put so much into breaking the ACORN story!
The impact made here has been incredible, as in "“Crushed Nuts: How ACORN Got Trampled by the ‘Racist’ Stampede” at http://firebreathingchristian.wordpress.com/2009/...
Seeing so many likeminded conservative thinkers brought into one place to gather and share information is truly a wonderful thing. Thank you for that contribution as well!
Keep up the excellent work!!
Specter's already gone, figuratively. The GOP guy, Pat Toomey, has been beating Benedict Arlen in poll after poll, usually by about 11%, but it could be more now.
Casey needs to go crawl under a rock. He's so full of himself that he actually thinks he will still have a job!
Don't worry, though, I'm all over this at papundits.com

Heh. In my neck of the woods, we call him "Emperor Rendell." <snicker>
Great article on ACORN's biggest outrage — legalized extortion — as aided and abetted by the Federal Reserve and other arms of the government: http://www.lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo177...
He can stand by them- and fall with them.
Do you honestly have to post your 8+ line spam in every post? I mean, obviously you want traffic to your wordpress, but please cut back on the auto-sig a bit.
O’Keefe: “I took a 20 year old girl paying for her own plane ticket to break this story…[that]…multi media conglomerates failed to, It’s pathetic. Journalism is dead”
Breitbart: “As we go from ACORN office to ACORN office they seem to be experts at facilitating crime. And how to help the underclass work the system as best they can”
This is ORGANIZED CRIME, investigate! It’s a national mafia.
Generally, I try to keep one post per thread at most with any sort of link to a longer thought expressed elsewhere precisely because I don't want to post 20 or 40 or more lines of text to share the same idea. The links help to keep things shorter, actually, and I always keep 'em topical and post one in a thread.
I hope that helps to clarify!
Have a good one!
If these were Italina-American immigrants running this criminal enterprise, there would be 24/7 newscoverage, with the print media running extra copy. It is a double standard, and it is RACIST. It is also aslap in the face to every law abiding hard working American who pays taxes and votes. It is an affront to our society………..
What's a Democrat to do? Alienate their base that is ACORN?
Pay no attention to the trolls, nice backhand by the way.
With respect to the cowardly degenerate that is Sen. Roland Burris, I’ve posted an article on Sen. Burris, his past, the fact that he is NOT an elected senator (and has scarcely been able to win an election throughout his career), the fact he was “appointed” by a disgraced, impeached governor – not voted into office by the people of IL, and the connection he has to convicted (statutory) child rapists. No wonder Burris has no problem with supporting the “cause” of child-smuggling and child prostitution.

Thank you for your efforts!! Keep at it!
Would that explain why he quickly slithered down the hall when the reporter tried to ask him questions? Does ever wonder why government attracts those least likely to succeed? Bottom feeders? The criminal element. Quite frankly, I believe one of Obamas public works projects should be a wall; a wall around Washington, to protect US, from them…………
PA is about the most openly corrupt state there is…When will the people say enough is enough? Same characters playing musical elected office….Fast Eddie writes a nice letter to a judge for the convicted fraudster Vince Fumo asking for leniency and the folks are not infuriated with him. It is just one one joke on the citizens of Pennsylvania.
Please Pennsylvania – If these people stay in office it's like your saying you agree with your tax dollars funding child prostitution ….
they have to go !!!!
Clean sweep time in PA! Casey, Kanjorski, that traitor Benedict Arlen Spector all need to go, go, go! People of PA get out and vote for the good of EVERYONE! This story about ACORN is sick and Casey supporting them is even worse because he should know better. Spector betraying us in so many ways including this card check legislation. It's all disgusting. They all must go! and if you are in Luzerne County forget about it. Anyone in office now should go, judges, school boards, etc, etc, etc… We the people need to take our government back.
Very good Matthew. I hope it sinks that Paul Bagatelia can't stand him.
Thats a RACIST comment, and a stereotype. Just because the Militant Messianic Mocha Messiah speaks in Ebonics, that is no reason to get angry.It's just Boys in the 'hood Redux…..
Yes, and while we're at it, yelling "you lie" to someone who is largely lying, even if it is rude, is not racist…it's just plain reflex
Casey is clueless. He had no idea what he was doing.
Lets make sure Casey knows that HE works for US, not the other way around. e-mail his office, over and over again.
As far as I am concerned. He's FIRED!!!

PA is my home state, and I lived there up until 5 years ago. I can tell you that both Casey and Murtha have been in office for so long and I can't fathom why. Specter, too. It's like those people go to the polls and don't see any other names on the ballot. Casey was mayor of Philly when all the public schools were failing and somehow he ends up governor. ??? So, don't hold your breath. I will be stunned if they vote his sorry butt out.
Please be aware: While Sen. Bob Casey is a senator from Pennsylvania, he is NOT a long-time senator. He's just what we got when Santorum became unpopular.
Sorry! I meant Rendell in my comment about Philly. Throw him in the mix, too. IMHO, they all need booted out.
Casey's office actually told me on Tuesday that ACORN has NEVER received federal money and as a non-profit is not permitted to be involved in politics. His reason for not voting for the ban on funding is that it was frivolous legislation and not worthy of his time. Unefin believable. The staff actually argued with me about it. I have to assume Casey endorses human trafficking of underage girls for the purpose of prostitution, voter fraud, and tax fraud. I'm thinking he doesn't represent my interests.
I second dumping Gillibrand!!!
All I know is that I didn't elect her – we need new laws in this state re: appointees.
Check this out :
—After Jimmy Carter took office, the group used its connections to win a contract worth almost $500,000 to train community volunteers under the VISTA program. ,,,The grant was no small thing; the Heritage Foundation concluded, “It appears that the VISTA grant was crucial to the survival of ACORN.”
This is soo bad – and Jimmy comes out and calls most opposition to POTUS racially motivated….Still in bed with your old ties, Jimmy?
I remember you as president, lines at the gas pump, fiscal idiocy you promoted then…YOU SUCKED THEN AND YOU SUCK NOW! AND NOW WE KNOW PART OF THE TRUTH ABOUT HOW YOU EVER GOT ELECTED, JIMMY!

I'm ashamed of my former fellow Pennsylvanians, Santorum was a damned good Senator,and they voted this idiot in.Pathetic….Hopefully Rooney will unseat that other piece of trash Spector in 2010
And I agree with Bill Pascoe.
How much money and assistance has Casey received? All of the politicians need to be investigated for ACORN ties.
Bob Casey – what an idiot! – ACORN = POLITICAL DEATH! Hope Gillibrand is next (NY) to go!
Well Pennsylvania, you know what you need to do. Vote out that corrupt politician Bob Casey, and Arlen Sleazy Specter..
As a Pennsylvanian, let me be the first to say that I am mortified by Bob Casey, horrified by Arlene Sphincter, and appalled by Governor "Fast Eddie" Rendell.
Casey has hitched his star to the Obamessiah bandwagon. Sphincter switched teams to hop on. Only 8 months in and already the wheels are falling off. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.
[...] In retrospect, it turns out that Senator Casey is a big supporter of ACORN, so it’s no surprise he voted this way. He even appears in an ACORN promotional video. [...]
We need to "knock" on ACORN's doors!
Looky, Looky:
"Congress’s official investigation into the financial crisis, the so-called Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, will convene its first meeting today. Unfortunately, Nancy Pelosi’s handpicked chairman of the commission Phil Angelides, has deep ties to radical left-wing politics, including the Van Jones-connected Apollo Alliance, which he chairs, and ACORN, which is an Apollo member and endorsed and actively supported his gubernatorial campaign. His selection proves the commission will be a politicized attempt to advance a left-wing agenda through a revisionist history of the financial crisis. It also assures that ACORN and other community organizers who forced banks to make reckless loans in the name of affordable housing will be let off the hook." —Phil Kerpen
I find it interesting that at 2:14 on this tape, the acorn worker slips and says "our predatory lending" ! So maybe that should be looked into! If it weren't for acorn, Casey and Kanjorski would never be in office. Hard to find anyone who will admit to voting for them, but they always will elections. Kanjorski should have been in jail over the Blue Coal property years ago!
Ah! I love the musical notes!
