Exclusive: Statement From Rep. King on ACORN Collapse
by Publius
Congressman Steve King, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, made the following statement in response to news reports that ACORN is dissolving its national structure.
“This is not surprising news. ACORN must change its name in order to try and run ahead of the accountability that is catching up with this corrupt organization.
“Even though the one party controlled federal government is using its resources to protect ACORN, entrepreneurial new media investigators and state attorneys general are tightening the noose. Dissolving its national brand does not change ACORN’s faces nor ACORN’s crimes. This organization specializes in subterfuge, but ACORN cannot outrun the wheels of justice that are catching up with this corrupt criminal enterprise.”

If only the Mob thought that by changing their name they could avoid prosecution. Oh wait they did. The Democratic Party.
speaking of changing names, what is the proper way to describe Bertha, african american, black, negro, colored???? its all very confusing and you know to offend someone by not addressing them properly is worse than murder…
You can run, but you can't hide. hee.
Time for a little RICO there, I think….
ACORN is shuttering offices and closing up shop. Going out of business? No. Just going to ground. They are a mercurial bunch, and will re-emerge prior to the next election. New names, new faces, same modus operandi. Follow the money……….

They will be protected by the President…..just watch and see……
Beck just came on, he's going to talk about it!!! Should be good, gonna watch now!!
Beck is talking about the latest in the ACORN saga………..
Like the rats in the sewer, like cancer hiding in the body waiting to eat you to death, the scum of ACORN and Progressivism needs to be eradicated. Expose the disease!
Bad boys bad boys whach ya gona do LMAO
The problem is, if ACORN no longer exists as a national organization, how are we conservatives going to tie Obama's long-ago association with ACORN to any of the future misdeeds of a local organization elsewhere in the country with a different name?
Colorful????????
Steve King does Iowa proud. Now we are fixing to get rid of that idiot, Tom Harkin. Good news about ACORN too…..
Man, what a difference a year can make. These Dems are better than the Keystone Cops. Unfortunately, a lot more dangerous than the Keystone Cops.
Is ACORN a nut?
Darn it, ACORN is gone? Now who are we going to blame for stealing the election the next time we lose one.
fat ass works just fine
If Congress can't see that ACORN is playing a game then Congress is "nuts".
Philip Morris tried this a few years ago when there was daily negative press about the tobacco industry. Philip Morris became Altria. Did that do them any good? Not at all. The same thing will apply here. ACORN can change its name to the Sunshine and Rainbows Guild but that won't hide who they really are. This should be amusing to watch.
Logic…is a pretty flower, that smells BAD!

As Sgt. Friday would say: "Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty."
Please post a comment…… always on the road when Beck comes on
Gotta remember Obama is still part of ACORN, or whatever their name is now! Keep an eye out for nasty stuff yet.
ACORN is yesterday's broccoli………..what's next…
Andrew mentioned something about college professors…. they do need to be put on the spotlight.
Pssst……..I am still mad we aren't going to see Chapters #2 and #3 from last week………….
Nor did we get a thank you.
That shows me a lot, about that persons "feigned" character……….
;0)
ta ass loud mouth works better
Crooked
They can change their name as the anti-military Muslim group that gets fined only to change its' stationary with a new name, and they ignore the judgement.
How will the loss of ACORN effect Obama's heritage?
follow the perps
your a twit
Where is the MSMs on this? Oh wait, this is a non-story to them.
also you need to work on that sounding like a conservative thing
An ACORN by any other name will still reek.
are you and LS holding hands?
as in the dr.spock?
head-criminal -in-charge?
We need to keep giving them the "Big Alinsky" — if by Big Alinsky, you mean keep giving them double the trouble and tkeeping the pressure on.
.
They're down . Now it's time to KEEP them down and starve them for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!
Our TAX $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
No mas`!
thats fat not ta
Bravo Mr. King.
Initiate criminal investigations and imprison these leftwing criminal cretins.
If you can tie Hussein to abuses of power in protecting this crime syndicate then do so.
Heritage? He's still a mulatto.
Legacy? ACORN'S first president has had his "parent organization" yanked out from under him.
I wonder how many votes they STOLE for him over the years?
It's a START. But we can't rest one little bit. These bastards won't give until some of them end up in prison. And that IS the next step, prosecution.
Cockroach.
Can't wait!
I'm not college educated, and maybe a little ignorant, but what does LMAO stand for? I usually can figure the letters but don't know this one.
Caught wind of Comrade Jones' visit this morning… despicable.
Laughing my azz off
Sounds like the old tax liens are coming home to roost. Did they have a lot of bank accounts drained?
I cannot find Steve King's original letter. I am getting frustrated by a lot of stories on Big Government that do not give links to the original source.
I have looked on King's site and don't see it, and have searched for it and can't find it.
The BIG sites need to consider this if they want to rise up against MSM.
Loyal Solder on which side…………………Obama's and ACORN's ?
Same person using the same talking points, with 2 different nics, is all..
All ACORN's are nuts.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
Let's blame George Bush, d'oh! ;^) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
No, the dr.spock. ;^) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
And still nuts! ;^) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
Gee, I guess you're the only one.Maybe they did it on purpose, just to you. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
It was meant to be a serious question.
I love the BIG sites and frequent them. If you have a link to Congressman King's letter, could you please provide it?
The shell game of ACORN, George Soros and the criminals Dale and Wade Rathke continues!!
If they can't steal your money outright, they'll just use a softer form of armed bank robbery…
Thanks I get it now!!!!
Obama and Co are disgusting.
It's going to be a little tough to deny the motives of anything called the New York Communities for Change (NYCC).
Especially with a mission statement like this.
"NYCC's initial focus will be working to put an end to the foreclosure crisis facing so many New Yorkers, enforcing New York's wage and hour laws, preserving tenant rights and preventing devastating state and local budget cuts that would harm services for low-income families."
They may want to consider a name change to TGFKAA. The Group Formerly Known As ACORN
Just wait. They will notice the remark about tightening the noose and pull out the race card.
ACORN? Who dat?
Nothing has been stolen from him. If you don't think he's got a handle on this, you're wrong. The NEW plans have been made a long time ago and this news is for PR purposes only. We're dealing with a lying, conniving POS so expect Acorn to be absorbed by the other 389 tentacles it grew.
Nothing will change….nothing, only the mask,
Right on…I do hope they continue to follow these cockroaches. We must pursue them to their death…
You are ruining my fantasies!!!!!!!!!!
Off topic, but I thought this could lighten our mood:
" Flying on Obama's private plane.. Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said, 'You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.
Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, 'I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy.
Michelle added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and
make a hundred people very happy..
Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, such big-shots back there. "
~~ I could throw all three of them out of the window and make 56 million people very happy.~~~
Are we surprised?Acorn of CA already exists,they broke away from the national organisation to get funds from elsewhere(mostly from bankrupt CA…)…I'm sure they will follow suite and change their name too.
I kind of like "ta"…lol
He says Obamas "long ago association"…According to
Obama's own words in a video, he says he worked with
ACORN all through his Senatorial career…That wasn't
that long ago I would say….
Follow the "stink" and you'll find ACORNS popping up all over,
under different names!!..Same disgusting actors, same disgusting
tricks…They won't be hard to find!
[...] Exclusive: Statement From Rep. King on ACORN Collapse: Also ACORN changing names [...]
A thug is a thug is a thug but ACORN and SEIU are brutal gangsters!
See below Hanzo…
You not only have to worry about the black KKK called Acorn but also the skunks your putting into office
I suspected this Scott Brown was a dem in sheep clothing and he already has proved to be bought by obama
WASHINGTON – A bipartisan jobs bill cleared a GOP filibuster on Monday with critical momentum provided by the Senate's newest Republican, Scott Brown of Massachusetts.
The 62-30 tally to advance the measure to a final vote on Wednesday gives both President Barack Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats a much-needed victory — even though the measure in question is likely to have only a modest boost on hiring.
Brown and four other Republicans broke with GOP leaders to advance the measure. Most other Republicans voted in favor of the filibuster because of strong-arm tactics by Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. The bill is likely to enjoy far broader GOP support on Wednesday when it's put to an up-or-down vote.
The bill featured four provisions that enjoyed sweeping bipartisan support, including a measure exempting businesses hiring the unemployed from Social Security payroll taxes through December and giving them another $1,000 credit if new workers stay on the job a full year.
Though employers seldom make hiring decisions based on tax breaks, economist Mark Zandi says the measure could potentially create 250,000 new private-sector jobs. That's less than 4 percent of the 8.4 million jobs lost in the recession.
Joining Brown in voting to break the filibuster were two moderate New England Republicans, Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, and two retiring GOP senators, Kit Bond of Missouri and George Voinovich of Ohio.
It should be "long time association" as Obamao promised to continue dealing with them once he became president. He was also one of their trainers, something he now denies.
The Dems are tied in with ACORN. They don't want 'em investigated.
Change the name but she will always be "Dirty Bertie".
ummmmmm DUH! Did you just figure that out? =)
Brown is from the bluest of blue states, MA and I'm assuming he's already thinking about reelection in 2012, so he has to straddle the line right now. At least, that's my take on it.
everytime Congress gets stuck on stupid !
uuuuugly…….seems very appropriate…..
Go to GOOGLE and type in ACORN CRACKED and it will lead you to an article about this slimy group reorganizing under different names for each State.
These Parasites have NOT dissolved, they are just regrouping and reorganizing under different names. In California they are the ACCE and they have a different name for every state they have set up new office’s in, including New York and Massachusetts and soon, Texas. It will be much harder to trace these maggots as they go about their slimy agenda. Now we have the POTUS trying to put SEIU Slug, Andy Stern, on his “Debt Commission.” What a frickin’ JOKE!
and cut the cancer out then burn it in an oven….
off topic…BO wants to appt…get this one…andy stern to the deficit panel….story on malkin web site…how utterly in your face insane….
This is but a minor bump in the road to the Obamunists.
They'll find another way around the law – they always do.
…and dangerous to our nation's future.
You too man.
Thanks. It was fun.
Yeah, it's not like we can expect Eric Holder to investigate ANYTHING that might be so obviously corrupt. Democrats can you please reply as to why Eric Holder is such a tool. Thank you.
It’s all Bush’s fault. Or, um, global warming. Yeah! ACORN is innocent due to global warming and Bush’s fault because he didn’t stop people from reporting.
And Fox News. They reported it, and made it a story.
Did I mention that it was Bush’s fault?
*edit to add; sorry, my “snark” key was stuck on my keyboard.
I hope he's right and the states' attorneys general bring down the full power of the RICO statutes on these smarmy double dealing, racist, cheaters.
a whole bloody forest of nuts.
No y'all, Mr. Spock, as in Star Trek, not the baby book writer, lol. A quote from the episode "Mudd's Women" if I'm not mistaken.
Geez, how would anyone get the idea that the people on this site are racist? with the plus-8 in the thumbs up department Liberty666's comment gets.
Bertha? Is that you? Got a new gig I see.
Maybe it's the load in your diaper.
I see they have a new name.
Like the Terminator in T2 they'll keep reconstituting and keep attacking Americans that aren't "people of color".
just 56 million?? more like hundreds of millions…
