ACORN: Campaign Issue?
by PubliusThis political ad first came out a couple weeks ago, when James and Hannah’s video sting first broke, but is still worth noting. If Ken Cuccinelli, running for Attorney General in Virginia this year, gets traction with this ad, look for the political floodgates to overwhelm ACORN. No matter how many people rise to their defense, if ACORN becomes politically toxic…game over. Watch this race:

Pretty hard hitting. May work in Virginia where there aren't many real inner cities. Doubt it would work in a place like Jersey though, where it might actually galvanize them. Good luck to them.
It will be great sport to watch Steve Shannon's campaign for Virgina's Attorney General go down in flames then we will see all the anti ACORN adds. Hopefully the anti ACORN media blitz will spill over to SEUI and Tides etc, etc, etc.
It will be great fun indeed, I can hardly wait !
Wouldn't it be fun to see all those fools fall?
Hallucinogenic Lilliputians………

wow hannah realy opened flood gates here hope she has protection
Superb ad.
Guess I know who my Attorney General will be …………..Ken Cuccinelli

8 Simple Rules Liberals Use For Arguments
1. Blame Bush, Limbaugh, Palin etc.
2. Change the subject.
3. Attack the poster.
4. Call the other person names.
5. Log on using different names and have a bunch of fake people say you are right.
6. Find something personal about the poster to claim he has no credibility (but ignore the point).
7. Claim the source of the data is unreliable (again, ignore the point).
8. Send you a personal email to try to intimidate you.
Now you know what to expect. Go forth and stop them
[...] The chickens are coming home to roost for all those democrats involved with ACORN. Check out this Ken Cuccinelli ad who is running for Virgina Attorney General against corrupt Democrat and ACORN tied Steve Shannon [...]
Good luck to Cuccinelli! Wish Jerry Brown in California would get serious about investigating ACORN and SEIU! Problem is California is controlled by Democrats sooooo….just guess what will happen…NOTHING!

As far-out as some of Governor Moonbeam's past ideas have been, he's always struck me as an honest man. Especially in the AG post. I can't help but thinking that Jerry Brown may just be the best choice to investigate the ACORN bunch. But I could be wrong. We'll see.
The Criminals run the Democrat party now. ACORN SEIU are just front groups for the MOB. They shake people down for money just like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. We need to look into (The Rainbow Coalition) and other front groups. Looks like the rent a mob days are over. You notice you don't see Jesse and Al on TV anymore. They know their next in our crosshairs. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same ask BIG AL.

All those affiliated and attached are toxic waste as well: Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Maxine Waters, Shelia Jackson-Lee, Roland Burris, Henry Waxman, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstien, Jerry Nadler, Rham Emmaneul, David Axlerod, Hillary Clinton, Drummond Pike, The Tides Foundation, Reverend Jerimiah Wright, Al Sharpton, Jessee Jackson, SEIU, Wade Rathke and Barrack Hussein Obama.
Mmm, mmm, mmm

When a pro-union organization calls Andy Stern "democracys nightmare" you know that the SEIU is a problem. Further, what does it REALLY say about who Obama surrounds himself with?

The Dems are doing their best to create inner cities here in the Old Dominion. Drive down Columbia Pike, Little River Turnpike, or the Leesburg Pike and you'll see what I mean. Plus, our new Congressman, Gerry Connolly, who replaced retired Rep Tom Davis, when he was Fairfax County Executive, said he wanted Fairfax County to be a "welcoming county." That was in response to a move by the Prince Edward County Supervisors, just south of us, when they passed strict ordnances against providing public services to illegals. Give them enough time and they'll pack the voter rolls with enough illegals to swing more races their way. That said, we're heartened by what may be shaping up to be a Republican sweep of the upcoming state elections. Too many property tax payers are getting fed up with the creeping intrusion into their pocketbooks.
Sadly, they won't thanks to gerrymandered districts that make it safe for them. That's the next big issue that the public needs educated on and galvanized to change. It's the biggest reason that we can't budge a lot of these entrenched useless critters out of Congress.
OUCH!
This is the most powerful ad I've seen in years. Straight up, to the point and hard hitting truth.
Could this be a sign of a Republican movement with some SPINE! Meaning… CONSERVATISM is blasting through the PC/Progressive wall?
Hope so.
Pay czar Kenneth Feinberg's official government title is "Special Master for Compensation." You'll be happy to know that he's really getting into the confiscatory spirit of his role. Asked by Reuters whether his powers include reaching back and revoking bonuses awarded to financial industry executives before his office was created earlier this year, Feinberg asserted broad and binding authorities — including the ability to "claw back" money already paid out.
Regulations governing his office explicitly limit his jurisdiction over contracts signed before Feb. 11, 2009. But the fine print is no obstacle to Obama's czars. "The statute provides these guideposts, but the statute ultimately says I have discretion to decide what it is that these people should make and that my determination will be final," Feinberg claims. "Anything is possible under the law."
Yes, he said "anything." It's not just senior executive officers who fall under Feinberg's purview. "These people" also includes "the next 100 most highly paid employees" of all bank bailout recipients, who must file compensation proposals with their pay overlord by Friday.
But why stop there? The Troubled Asset Relief Program has morphed from a toxic asset buy-up to a capital injection plan and back to a toxic asset buy-up. The money has been doled out to auto supply companies and life insurance companies. Congress wants to siphon off more of it to bail out bankrupt California and create a "national housing trust fund" to bail out low-income renters. Grabby-handed politicians have used TARP as a crowbar to pry open new areas for command-and-control meddling under the guise of saving the economy.
How much longer until the pay czar is determining all corporate pay he wishes to deem "inappropriate, unsound or excessive"? House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank has yapped all year long about extending pay curbs to all financial institutions and perhaps to all U.S. companies.
Let's remember that the Beltway hysteria over bonuses served as a convenient distraction from the responsibility of subprime meltdown-enabling lawmakers like Frank and Obama's crony economic team. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner landed his previous job as head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York thanks to heavy lobbying by his Wall Street mentors Robert Rubin and Larry Summers, both of whom sat on the New York Fed's selection committee. Their cronyism had multi-billion-dollar consequences for taxpayers.
Rubin was also an executive at New York-based Citigroup, which Geithner regulated. Or was supposed to regulate. Instead, he helped foster Citi's spending binge and engineered the teetering company's $52 billion federal bailout. This makes the Obama administration's recent protestations about one Citi employee's $100 million compensation package look like the very kind of manufactured outrage of which it incessantly accuses its political opponents.
Geithner also had a hand in the $30 billion Bear Stearns bailout and the multilevel AIG bailouts ($85 billion and $38 billion under President Bush and another $30 billion in March 2009 under Obama). Massive sums of that taxpayer money went to major financial institutions that had employed Obama's moneymen and their closest confidants. Goldman Sachs, for example, raked in nearly $13 billion in December 2009 from AIG in federal TARP funds — and reported record profits this quarter with a bonus pool of more than $11 billion.
The "solution" isn't to empower a pay czar to curb bonus payouts ex post facto. The solution is to stop dumping billions into failing companies in the first place.
As for private businesses (what's left of them, anyway), this is a teachable moment, to borrow one of the president's favorite phrases. Government strings are like sexually transmitted diseases: They attach forever. If a basket-case company is willing to take bailout money, it will pay an interminable price. The long arm of regulators can and will reach back and open sealed deals and signed contracts on a whim. The Obama campaign chant is the czars' chant, too: "Yes, we can!"
Good ad! Hope it works so that ACORN can be exposed everywhere as the criminal organization it is. And with friends like Obama, Barney Frank, John Conyers and many other low lifes, it could be a powerful tool in bringing the thugs and scum in the government to earth, and soon!
9. Once they realize they can't discredit the critic or deny the allegation, they claim "Sure, it's wrong, but everybody does it. We just got caught."
Patrick Gaspard is in the whitehouse. He is active in ACORN and SEIU. This is a direct link 'tween Obama and the stench of the organizers.

Oh my god. Where will this end?
Excellent link Cowboy, tyvm…wish Glenn Beck read his emails from me, would be a great link for him to read and hopefully, broadcast on his program so all of America could see what and who other Countries blame for the Obama problems.
Great ad. It already has gained traction because most Dems in Congress voted to defund ACORN. Next target – SEIU. The words "corrupt" and "labor union" are synonyms (e.g. Pres. Obama receives labor union support for his policies), so ACORNing them shouldn't be impossible.
Nothing like anything anyone does around here.
Would that be the same Jerry Brown that changed the name of a recent proposition from 'definition of marriage' to 'ban same sex marriage' in an attempt to have it fail?
I think that you are underestimating the current outrage from just everyday citizens. We don't vote these lifetime politicians out because too many people don't vote in the primary elections. I'm guilty of that. I always make a point to vote in November, but I've only voted in one primary election. That has to change. As a mom, this is absolutely unacceptable to me, and I will protect my daughter's future. I will fight the federal government with everything I've got because they have backed me into a corner that I have to fight my way out of. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and there is no greater power than a mother's love. Accountability in 2010 and in 2012. Silent no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very effective ad.
One of the best things about the work of Hannah Giles, her partner O'Keefe, Brietbart, and Beck on blowing the ACORN racket wide-open is that it changes the public perception of conservatives: Instead of being seen as unhip, uptight, out-of-touch, bumbling, and behind the curve of cutting edge techniques for propagating relevant information, the right is now shining as the element of society that has not only the integrity, but also the smarts and the savvy and the street-wise, tech-wise skills to protect the public and promote the public good.
