      If this were the book "Animal Farm," ACORN would be Snowball- responsible or at least connected to every bad thing that happens anywhere.

      Seriously, is this the Comedy Channel?

        I suggest we should categorize FauxNoise as disinformation. They intentionally create false facts, it is not unintentional.

        Disinformation is false or inaccurate information that is spread deliberately. It is synonymous with and sometimes called Black propaganda. It may include the distribution of forged documents, manuscripts, and photographs, or spreading malicious rumors and fabricated intelligence. Disinformation should not be confused with misinformation, information that is unintentionally false.

      Here we go. More hatred of a community group that registers poor people to vote. Let's forget about the time conservatives called them on the voter fraud....and it was debunked, or the time they were caught on camera aiding in illegal activity....and that story got debunked. We can hate them just because they get federal money as a non profit organization to provide services to the underpriveleged. While we're at it, let's launch an all out assault on churches, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters. Hey, if we can attack a church that functions as a soup kitchen and provides shelter at night, then we've hit the trifecta of conservative victory. Oh, I'm sorry. I've just been told we're only supposed to hate ACORN because they help poor people register to vote and they generally vote democrat. Glad we cleared that up. Thanks Fox. We report, then decide.

      Since when did ACORN become a billion dollar health insurance company? Without the public option, they are the only ones profiting from this deal.

        This reminds me, I was driving along the other day, when I ended up behind this big white SUV with dark tinted windows.

        On the left half of the back hatch were five of those metal Jesus fish emblems, two big ones for Mommy & Daddy, and three little ones for the kids. This person was making it very well-known that they loved Jesus.

        On the right side was a sticker with the ACORN logo on top, and written below it "Organizing crime since the 70s".

        I'm sure the owner of the vehicle, like the ACORN-frenzy trolls here, probably is completely unaffected by crimes committed by clergy or military contractors (Real Americans), but for some reason hates ACORN based on a few seconds of video provided by criminal propagandists.

        Maybe ACORN's tendency to hang around all those poor non-white folks that Jesus was always warning us about.

          Non-white. That's all you needed to say. ACORN evokes images of black people. And now that a black man is in the White House, all black people must be vilified even more than in the past.

      Iguess that since Blackwater isn't getting any money, they feel cheated. Acorn is not mentioned in the bill, so they might as well smear the bill. If I say, Senator McCain lives in an area in Arizona where children are molested. Has anyone asked him if he ever molested a child? I haven't accused him of being a child molester but I have associated him with child molestation. That's the kind of pathetic tactic these yahoos are engaging in. Everything is guilt by association, even when there is no association to be identified. What fascistic propagandists these gasbags are.

      Its immensely funny listening to the bat sh#t crazy from the right constantly whining and digging up bogeymen to rile up their ignorant, clinically unhinged and racist tribe members.

      The sad part is that those same tribe members listens to all this crap, take it to heart and go out with their posters, bibles and guns to protest over issues that they have no clear understanding of or even know what the truth of the issue is.

      You have to give it to Fox though, they lie 24/7 and don't miss a beat when it comes to feeding their tribe members misinformation, distortion or out right lies. Next up...Is health care a tool to indoctrinate school kids? Secret formula found in the H1N1 vaccination that health care funding pays for.

      Dude wanted to know how it is that after all we know about acorn they can still get tax payer money.

      Heres your anwser, the idoits who listen to you dont understand the law and keep breaking it to get you you shakey evidence on Acorn. Meaning everything you have on acorn was illegally obtained so can not be used in court to prove Acorn wrongdoing.

      So from a legal point of view Acorn has done nothing wrong, therefore you can not legally exclude them from tax payer dollars

      So if you want Acorn excluded from tax dollars you guys at Fox News need to stop airing illegally obtained tapes, or documents or various other Acorn things, because when you do so you encourage others to do the same thing because they want to get on TV, which means they obtain more illegal evidence, which means it becomes harder to prove any thing legally against Acorn since every piece of illegal evidence allows them to get away with any wrongdoing caught by it (assuming their is one in the first place)

      In Short, assuming Acorn is doing something illegal (which for the record I'm not saying they are) you idoits at FOX are doing more then anyone else in the country to help them cover it up by basically ensuring they will never be properly recorded or caught breaking the law.


      So basically its either
      A) Fox news fault Acorn taxpayer money
      B) Acorn isnt doing anything wrong so no reason to deny them tax payer money


      I'd love Fox to announce which option it is but I dont see that happening

        Of course, there are plenty of examples of individuals actually breaking laws in many tax-supported organizations; POlice officers, teachers, military personnel and private military contractors, politicians, clergymen, etc.

        I don't hear any of these wingnuts screaming to take away the church's tax-exempt status, or disband the army. But ACORN, this one organization that gets a relatively small amount of money, has them all crazy and bloodthirsty.

        I'm sure it's all about facts and policy, nothing to do with loose connections to Obama, or race, or poverty. The righty nuts are so easily manipulated.

          I did hear about one of our local radio hosts being against the Police. She did gloat that she was never against law enforcement officials.
          Except, we are in Boston, the policeman was in DC (or thereabouts) and African American.
