Meet ‘Bon Bon’ Hurd: Protester Who Admitted ACORN Raw Political Agenda Exposed

by Larry O'Connor

Regular readers of Big Government should remember the woman pictured below as the delightfully forthcoming ACORN protestor from the fateful day Andrew Breitbart staged his one-man tea party in the midst of scores of “community organizers” who mistakenly protested in front of LA’s KTTV Fox 11 TV station thinking they were intimidating Fox News.  Do you remember the delightful little nuggets of information we caught on taped on our handy-dandy recorder?

Breitbart to AG Holder: Investigate ACORN or We’ll Release More Tapes Just Before 2010 Election
