When Peter Schweizer uncovered evidence of insider trading by Republican chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Spencer Bachus (R-AL), and 60 Minutes reported on it, I was the first person to call for Rep. Bachus to resign. That was November 14, 2011. Now, with news that the Office...

Amen!
Go get 'em and defund 'em NOW!
That's the kind of "change" America needs.
ACORN has come to represent leftist, Marxist thuggery very well, a la "Embrace Marxism? YES! WE! CAN!" at http://firebreathingchristian.wordpress.com/2009/...
It is truly a wonderful thing to see so many coming out swinging so strong against this insanity.
Keeu fighting the good fight, BigGovernment.com! Thanks for bringing us together on this!

Keep fighting the good fight, BigGovernment.com! Thanks for bringing us together on this!
Finally, some balls in our court! Pun intended.
This story is growing stronger legs. Lets see LIBERAL FASCIST MEDIA ignore this now!
Wow! This is all happening so fast that it's hard to keep up — but that's okay with me!!
Go after SEIU next. They are just as corrupt
And the sickening icing on the cake is that all the mainstream media is not covering this!!
Obama…Can you hear us now!!! Still no comment from BHO yet, but he comment's on Kanye West's outburst..hmmm…….
I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for taking a stand against this corruption and for doing the job that the dinosaur media refuses to do! This has ties all the way to the top and to see this house of cards collapse would be just the greatest gift ever!
Keep it coming .. This is just too exciting .. Hopefully the other news channels will finally wake up and get their heads out of their butt and report on this.. This is just getting bigger and better daily..
Although I will stick with Foxnews, Biggovernment, Hannity, Glen Beck and all thank you very much..
Exactly! Nice!
9) Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition as being unethical (Alinsky 1972: 35-6)
NBC Nightly News:
Republican representatives John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Dave Camp have urged the IRS to sever ties with ACO……………OH LOOK!!!!!!!!!……….a kitty!!!!!!!!
In other news………………
The Kanye stuff was off the record, on the QT and very hush hush. On Acorn, he's just doing his Presidential shuck and jive. I expect "This isn't the Acorn I know" any minute now.
SHOW ME THE BILL. Stop with the politics game introduce the Bill, lets see the votes!
I wonder how many people Acorn employs. When it gets shut down, that'll be more jobs not saved or created on O's talley. This is brilliant.
Yes Yes Yes!!!!!
Good going boys, finally, taking initiative without prompting from us!
Keep going, you can do better than this!
How's that Hopey Changey workin' for ya', now?
P.S. –
ASK FOR THE MONEY ($53 MILLION) THEY'VE ALREADY TAKEN FROM US!
Ya know its sad when a couple of kids can do in a few days what our government didn't want to do. Shows you how pathetic the government is, Now they are just scrambling to save their own buts. Pathetic group of employees we got there.
The IRS should, also, investigate all of ACORN's affiliates (including SEIU), Foundations, Associations, Organizations and all of their shake-downs.
Obama and ALL of his ilk, throughout society, continually demonstrate UGLINESS on so many levels.
My point too – how many arms of ACORN are there to investigate that are named something else?
Just wondering: Did they help Charlie Rangel with his financial disclosure forms too?
It's about time the Swamp is being drained! Don't stop yet! There is plenty more to drain! Hold everyone involved o accountable!
Good point – he's gonna stay insulated!
I am almost at the point where I can say that I am a proud republican again. Keep pushing Congressmen!
Exactly!
Yeah sure Odumbo, just ignore this by going on tv all over the counrty on and on. ignore it long it enough boy! it aint goin away.
I know. They're posting so quick that by the time I read the comments from one,another one been on for half an hour.I need a split screen laplop!!!
Could someone at least PROOFREAD the letters before they send them out????
Is that too much to ask?
"It is alarming to think that one the IRS's…"
Sigh…
Content A+, Grammar Check D-
Where are the Congressional hearings into ACORN and anyone who has had ties with them?
I want the hearings NOW!
In New Orleans they share the same building.
History is fun! It repeats itself! As Watergate broke, Nixon stonewalled and stood defiant with his head in the sand like an ostrich. In doing so, he forgot his ass was flapping in the breeze. In his arrogance, with his uppity attitued, Obongo just buried his head in the sand. He is nothing but a condescending Militant Mocha Messianic Messiah.
No Bill. No balls. Just politics so far.
Don't let a good crisis go to waste!!!!!
Now that is funny !!!! I jsut let out a big laugh …. everyone just looked at me ……
Rumor has it that the next tape, which will air today at 4:00, has a female ACORN employee in San Bernadino, CA dropping Barbara Boxer's name. In addition, she admits to killing her husband on tape.
God, please let the final tape be of Obama's ACORN operation in Chicago.
HaHa HaHa Ha Ha….thanks I needed that.
I want them all doing the perp walk. Trot them out, trot them all out, the Alinskey-ites: Obama, Hillary, Pelosi, Reid, Franks, Dodd, Waxman,Boxer, Feinstien, Rockefeller,. It is too bad Ol' Teddy kicked off, his views would be interesting. They goddamned near pulled a coup de etat………….

Obam's head has got to be spinning!!! LOL I wonder if his wife has gone back to hating the United States… IF it wasn't so serious it would be sooooo funny….
See what happens when the people take matters into their own hands and expose the corruption of this country? Now we seem to finally be getting somewhere! Forget what the rest of the mainstream media says. A sleeping giant truly has been awoken and it's turning into more and more of a snowball affect.
Another from the Alinsky playbook – I don't know it, but I love it!
OK..new gift idea…A deck of ACORN cards…It won't be long until there are enough characters to fill a 52 card deck. I know Obama wants to be the KING but JOKER will have to do. So, what enterprising person out there is on this? I'd buy a deck!
Never forget who runs the IRS….if anything comes from them it will only be the sacrificial pawns. The real leaders of ACORN will walk away scott free, afterall they gave Obama (along with McCain refusing to fight) the presidency.
We MUST be viligent in watching the smoke and mirrors from EVERYONE in Washington.
I didn't say they were big balls. : ) Maybe a little exercise will help them grow stronger.
Hope and Change? Yes We Can? ….."NO YOU DON'T!"…..WE The People will no longer allow business as usual.
nice alliteration…the four M's…i like it.
Slow down boys, I can't keep up – just kidding!
There have probably been a tone of Reps/Senators just waiting for years for someone to take down the machine, and the tip is just starting to be revealed. This is what has promoted all the "balls" – But I'll take it. They need to hit them every day with more legislation against this corrupt entity. Keep up the pressure.
Alphabet soup is trying to keep up with the story so that they can debunk it. It won't work if they keep up this pace.
Not just defund them, close their offices, clear out the furniture, fumigate heavily and re-lease to a "for profit" business, but only if it's not practical to just knock down the buildings…
wash hands, dry hands, problem solved.
After the brave but relatively easy work of James and Hannah, this is like shooting fish in a barrel. All this severing ties and all that is grand, BUT WHERE is the huge investigation with the strength of the US Govt behind it? Could it be that many Bigs in the US Govt are scrambling to cover their butts?

Rovers: You are correct, it is pathetic; they are pathetic. Those employees work for US. We are not their servants or subjects. It is time to take this country back.
mclame took his little slice of ACORN during the amnesty battle, along with a nice chunk from George Soros….that is when the plot (fake run) was hatched…..look it up…
Glock45: You are absolutely correct. Those in power will not relinquish it quietly, nor go silently into the night. This is going to be nasty, and it will be a fight. Here is a little poem you can use:
The smoke is gone
the mirrors busted
those in charge
just can't be trusted!
NY Times subscription….$7.85/wk
Senate/Congressional campaign….. $ a few million
Obamacare…..$1,000,000,000,000
Charlie Gibson's face………..priceless!
Uh oh! Trouble on the horizon……….
If the Givernment defunds ACORN, I fear a Federal Bailout will be in order.
First it was Cash for Clunkers
Then it was Dollars for Dryers
Now it'll be Pesos for pussy…………………
What FOOLS we have in Washington! I cannot believe we let our government get this far out of control. They are holding hearings on a Joe Wilson resolution and nothing jointly about ACORN.
We need to throw the bums out !
"no news in this list."
http://acorn.org/index.php?id=15751
This is classic. Go to Acorn's website, and click through the links on the left hand side red navigation bar:
News
Actions
Press Releases
Announcements
Legislation
And the hits keep coming!
Way to launch a website, folks.
The smoke is gone
the mirrors busted
those in charge
just can't be trusted!
Even better: visit the abc / cbs / nbc news websites right now. No ACORN stories on homepage above the fold. Search for ACORN and see what they have. Amazing!
I feel another bailout coming.
This time for ACORN.
First we had Cash for Clunkers
Then it was Dollars for Dryers
No it'll be Pesos for Pu$$y…………..
I certainly hope I’m not the only one suffering popcorn overload!
Someone accross the big pond once said, " Politicians are like napies, they need to be changed often and for the same reason".
Amen. They are a registered non-profit. The IRS should be shutting them down.
Was this the crisis Biden was talking about?
We must stay on the offensive. These criminals must PAY for their crimes!
JUSTICE! JUSTICE! JUSTICE! We DEMAND JUSTICE NOW!
ACORN is a criminal organization! They had better not get another dime from our taxes!
She's drafting the executive order permitting waterboarding of all dissidents.
"I have never been so pissed off with America as I am today! God D**N America!"
Unintended consequences.
The Owe is definately a uniter.
In my 30 years as an investigative TV/radio journalist, I have never witnessed any finer job that that done by James and Hannah.
Congratulations to both of you.
And keep up the good work.
You make me proud to be an American, again.
Barbara Boxer, senator from California. Whoa, she could not be corrupt…she's Democrat!
OOPS! That sould be LAPTOP!!!
In light of the bogus tax advice the IRS should audit every return ACORN has been a party to………..
Now we just need to do it with the SBA, IRS, Federal Reserve, etc, etc,etc……the list goes on and on
As this expose continues we must remember to rally around Hannah Giles,James O'Keefe, and Glenn Beck. We must form an impenetrable wall of protection around them for they are patriots of the highest order!
Hanna and James, your names will be recorded in history as part the United States great fight for it's survival. You are defenders of our civilization and we will be forever indebted to you. Thank You for your service. I have some heroes again! I needed that.
Cowboy! just shows to go ya. Great minds think alike.
Wait until the tv evangelists lose their IRS status. They also are corrupt.
SPELLCHECK, Please! Gotta go do some actual work!
In all seriousness, I sure hope those young adults James and Hannah have round the clock protection. Serious protection, not from some rent a cop firm. I sure wouldn't want to see them go the way of Vince Foster or more recently Christopher Kelly in Chicago……….
Did ACORN advise Geitner? That would explain a lot.
Cowboy Logic, not a problem if they aren't suicide prone. Are you also a birther who believes in UFO's in Area 51?
Um… what did those kids do exactly. 2 things:
1. By law you are supposed to pay taxes on your income, including cash based illegal income. It is still taxes, thats what they got AL Capone on. Proper legal tax advice: Pay taxes on that illegal cash income.
2. What someone else says to you, and you wish to relate to someone else is… hearsay. The police wouldn’t have even had actionable information if the Acorn people went to the police.
Whats wrong with giving the appropriate tax advice?
What these kids have done is awesome! What happened in DC this weekend is unbelievable. The Momentum has turned! Lets use the Libs tactics against them some more. Lets start by not only boycotting NBC/MSNBC etc (like anyone here actually watches) but widen it to GE and all its subsidiaries… Take it a step further, any Corporation that contributes to our corrupt politicians, boycott them too…. its all about the money, hit them where it hurts.
John: Just finish your day job at Burger King and punch in at the Huff n puff?
With all the advance publicity, it would be nice to see Glenn break 3M viewers this afternoon. How much you want to bet the Great Apologizer is paying back the networks & GE affiliates this weekend for NOT covering this story? As a side bet, how many questions will he get about Acorn defunding proposals?
Show me the man who keeps his house in hand, He's fit for public authority. ~ Sophocles~
I'm not a media expert, but I think what Hannah, James, Breitbart and Beck have just illustrated is that it's now entirely possible to go over the heads of the MSM. A total media blackout and look what's already been accomplished-Census Bureau cutting ties with ACORN and federal funds no longer available to ACORN. A week ago if you told me this this I'd have laughed in your face. My family thanks you-Breitbart, Hannah, James and Glenn.
And she worked hard to get to be called Senator dontcha know.

Cowboy there is one major difference between Watergate then and Acorngate now and that’s there is not only no Woodward/Bernstein investigating this but these so-called “journalists” are willfully obstructing and ignoring a story that if this were a Republican administration would have been HUGE news. The Irrelevant Media continues to ignore this at their peril (literally).
And just think: with all the criminal enterprises they are getting homes for and helping defraud the IRS, all on our dime, they are probably also putting together fraudulent voter registration forms for each and every one. They have all the personal info they need to create identities.
I haven’t seen corruption like this since living in Mexico! I am absolutly shocked, more so because this is “OBAMACORN”.. We have long since known that “BIRDS OF A FEATHER FUCK TOGETHER.” ASnd of course the famuily that prays together stays together. Combine this wirth Jeramya Wright of Chicago and his “God Dam America,” and we now have learned that we put our country in the hands of an criminal organization, (ie: Obama and Acorn).It is so obvious, and the Blacks wuill stand by their man, because the Blacks know nothing more that “THUG LIFE>>>>” Their rap music portrays their culture, not an American Culture. It is maybe time for genociode..A cleaning of our Country. We are not united with these uneducated fools, nor do we want to live with them. DO YOU?

From Common Errors in English Usage: The Book (2nd Edition, November, 2008) by Paul Brians
ACRONYMS AND APOSTROPHES
One unusual modern use of the apostrophe is in plural acronyms, like “ICBM’s” “NGO’s” and “CD’s”. Since this pattern violates the rule that apostrophes are not used before an S indicating a plural, many people object to it. It is also perfectly legitimate to write “CDs,” etc. See also “50’s.” But the use of apostrophes with initialisms like “learn your ABC’s and “mind your P’s and Q’s” is now so universal as to be acceptable in almost any context.

Bury yourself, idiot of the left.
your ignorant racism appalls me and every decent american. Go live in Mexico again
I called Rep Howard Coble, and Senators Burr/Hagan today. NONE of them knew that ACORN recently changed their name to Community Organizations International(COI) a few months ago. I told them I EXPECT them to DO THEIR HOMEWORK and make sure they take into account ALL possible ACORN affiliates of EVERY kind. I also told them I EXPECT them to not only defund them in THIS bill, regarding HUD funding, but EVERY bill in which they stand to gain MY TAX $$$'s for their ILLEGAL enterprises! LOL, man it felt GOOD to unleash on them!
Obama Trained ACORN Leaders for Years
"Since [1992] we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office." – Toni Foulkes, Social Policy, 2003
