The news that a judge has allowed the case of Jamie Leigh Jones against Halliburton/KBR to move forward has come at a very interesting time. Jones has accused co-workers at Halliburton/KBR of kidnapping and rape. Normally you would think this kind of case would immediately become a prosecutorial matter, yet Halliburton was able to stop […]
This whole ACORN thing is really something worthy of a new blockbuster movie. This part here would serve as some comic relief during it: Then there’s the man who bills himself as “the Senate’s most outspoken critic of ACORN,” Sen. David Vitter, R-Louisiana. Vitter has introduced a bill that would deny any federal funds to […]
Sen. Richard Shelby was just on Morning Joe and he was, in an oh-so serious voice, expressing concern about ACORN and the possibility of “millions of tax payer dollars wasted”. Where was Sen. Shelby when we were hearing about all the waste, fraud and abuse of Halliburton and KBR? Where was his serious face when […]
Michelle Bachmann is back in the news, this time lying about the stimulus. She is making the false claim that ACORN will get $5 billion from the stimulus while under indictment.

It’s great to see ACORN firing back at the GOP over their bogus allegations. ACORN isn’t laying down either, filing two lawsuits today. This entire faux-outrage by the rabid right has really shown their hatred. Who in their right mind would think that a national group like ACORN would collude to go out and illegally […]
John Boehner wants Bush to cut off all federal funding to ACORN Boehner said his office had determined that ACORN had received more than $31 million in direct federal funding since 1998. He said the group had likely received far more indirectly through federal block grants to states and localities. “Immediate action is necessary to […]
Not really, but the owner of a firm hired by the California GOP has been arrested for it. This is a very important story because it plays right into the ACORN story. It was an outsider employed by an organization who violated the law, not the organization. Sure the right will dismiss it, but they […]
The hatred and violence promoted by John McCain and Sarah Palin continues: Police in Caledonia are investigating the assault of a campaign volunteer as she was canvassing for Senator Barack Obama Saturday afternoon. In an exclusive interview with 12 News, 58 year-old Nancy Takehara of Chicago says she was going door-to-door when she came across […]
Allegations of voter fraud by ACORN are being exaggerated according to election law officials: Charges of potential vote fraud volleyed by Republicans, including Sen. John McCain himself, are out of proportion to reality, according to election experts. The concerns raised by the Republican National Committee in daily conference calls with reporters, as well as by […]
Yes ACORN is so damn evil. I mean look at this headliner at an event in 2006:
