    Concerned citizens all across the country needs to pick one day and blast every elected critter with an inquiry as to why they haven’t spoken out and called for investigations against ACORN. Glenn Beck had one of his infamous charts today showing how many have called for hearings on ACORN and how only two Dems have done so.

    Our elected elite cannot be bothered to do anything, other than healthcare mischief, without a good poke from a cattle rod. Wasn’t it 8.5 Billion big ones they were promised in stimulus $$?

    I can’t thank our lovely hostess and the Army of David’s in the new media enough that have exposed the questionable associations of ‘dear leader’ with another criminal enterprise. How many more nefarious activities, associations, or appointees will see the light of day thanks to their efforts? I have never in my life been so afraid of my own Government or for the future of our nation. We have dodged a bullet for now, but stay vigilant folks there will be many more attacks on all fronts to destroy or Constitution, freedoms and national sovereignty by the home grown terrorists and traitors infesting our nation.

    “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor—he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation—he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city—he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.” – Cicero, 42 B.C.

    I was wondering about the sting at the ACORN office in D.C.: how did O’Keefe and Giles get their hidden cameras past White House security?

    After the footage of the Baltimore sting came out, I figured it would just be dismissed as a one-time freak occurrence, with a firing of the people involved, and that it would be swept under the rug. And that’s what happened. Then this D.C. footage appeared, along with some serious shockwaves. Sure, it’s just two data points, but now the question of whether there’s more footage from other offices surely has the folks in the West Wing all wee-weed up. A pattern would be really freakin’ bad for them! No way they’ll be able to pass this off as a teachabo moment!

    Here’s an April Newsmax articlecalled “La Raza Presses Census Count of Illegals” where ACORN will work to have pockets of illegals added to the official US Census Bureau’s count.

    on LaRaza working in cooperation with ACORN, SEIU and the US Census Bureau to “supplement” the official effort.

    The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, Univision Inc., the League of United Latin American Citizens and SEIU announced a grassroots campaign that would supplement Census Bureau efforts to reach the traditionally hard-to-count Hispanic community.

    Any affiliation with any of these groups that allows them to be involved in either conducting or having a say on who gets counted will strip the census of its legitimacy.

    Don’t usually catch Beck, TOI08. The full videos online show a “running time”, but not a date.

    If so, it could be that the cam just had the wrong date set. It’s kind of a royal PITA with digital cams that, if you don’t set them, they’ll often revert back to the manufacturing date display. (I have an old VHS cam that can’t handle anything past 2000 if I use the date display)

    But to answer your question – Bush did nothing to disown or defund ACORN. He failed on that and I suspect they were helpful allies with his Amnesty agenda.

    And, if the date were 2005, would it surprise anybody to find out that ACORN has been a criminal organization since it’s inception? We’re talkin’ some longtime crooks here.

I’m surprised MM is not treating this with more skepticism. To me, this is no different from the Obamacare hooey about there being no public option or goodies for illegals. Why?

In any case, how many will or have still been able to get into the Census system undetected due to the obvious lack of BHO’s cadre to factually stop this?

    No state or federal tax withholding, no FICA withholding, no SS withholding, no SS matching from ACORN, no health care or any other benefits for those folks because as sub-contractors they are considered self-employed by the IRS and responsible for all of those things themselves …

    We could say “Told ya so”, but at least they’re gone. All references to ACORN should be preceded by ‘”Obama’s” ACORN group’ so everyone knows how closely he has been hooked into that group. It IS a criminal enterprise!

    This is the most blatant example of modern Organized Crime that I have ever seen. And yet, this administration has been ignoring it completely which therefore equates to our Government ignoring its responsibility of protecting its citizens, whom they serve. Instead, Government is serving its own interests.

    This is an egregious dereliction of office.

    People, its our Government, take it back or kick it out!

    “David Brooks calling the the House leadership to force Joe Wilson to apologize”

    The Repubs already forced him to apologize to ‘Bambi…if it escalates any further to a full sepukku event, it won’t go down with a spoon full of sugar to the ones in the party that contribute $$. Turning the other cheek in politics is inviting a TKO.

    The unions are nothing more than organized crime and Obama is giving them every bit of power and wealth that he can pass their way.

    Acorn and all affiliates, SEIU, AFL/CIO, UAW and all of their political enablers are nothing less than criminals. They only use the law if it is against you, while breaking the law as much as possible.

    Dems are becoming the same way. If you don’t believe me, just analyze Polosie’s actions. Everything she says is a lie and accusation with no proof. That is a sign of a hard core criminal and its time we stated speaking it, just like the courageous congressman calling Obama out on his lies.

    While not decisive factors in this decision, recent events concerning several local offices of ACORN have added to the worsening negative perceptions of ACORN and its affiliation with our partnership efforts.”

    So, no matter how many ACORN types were indicted previously, it was not until two ACORN offices and 4 employees were caught on tape helping a pimp (or future Obama Admin official) avoid taxes, run his underage prostitution ring and commit fraud among other things, did the Census hacks decide enough was enough.

    Democrats and Republicans should be required to take a pledge to disavow these kinds of organizations. Further, funding of these organizations should no longer be done by block grants that are ultimately distributed by unaccountable bureaucrats. Congress should be voting on only money that it is expending directly. Period. I don’t care how impractical it seems. Congress had lost control of our money.

    Wondering how many more vid’s Brietbart et al did. I hope they hit more than the two offices. Let’s see another one tomorrow!

    Tomorrow’s video will likely be of the local pimp-daddy turned crack dealer negotiating a mortgage and receiving tax avoidance advice to set up his new crack house.

    With ACORN, a crack dealer could open franchises all over the country.

    Unfortunately this is just a tactic by the White house to INSURE that they have THEIR people doing the counting. This was their intention when they moved the census department to be under direct White House supervision.

    The same people will be gathering information for the census, committing voter fraud, and intimidating banks into giving mortgages to people who can’t pay. The only difference is that they are now forced to do it under another name.

    The scoundrels will remain the same but the name of the organization will change. They will break up ACORN into 1000 obscure organizations that will be more difficult to track. They were very clever to quash this scandal before it got out of hand. It will not deter their corrupt schemes one iota.

    ACORN was too anxious to throw 4 employees under the bus (while denying the charges). The white House was too quick to put out a statement admonishing their beloved ACORN that Obama emphatically supports and used to work for himself. Common sense, reason and my personal experience is screaming out to me that something is very fishy about the White House’s reaction to this case.

    Beck is right, we must ignore their distractions and we must pay attention to what the other hand is doing. Fortunately, Beck is on the case. He has the leaders of ACORN and the SEIU under his scrutiny.

    Beck is messing with some very powerful union thugs. As I have written before, I fear for Glenn Beck’s life.

    I base my views on my personal experience, reason and common sense. http://garyganu.blogspot.com

    I agree with the sentiments of most on this topic, as in I will believe it when I see it.

    The census is also going to reward CA (for inviting in all the illegals) by removing the question regarding US citizenship. Without this question on the census, it garentees that CA will gain unlawful representation. It is unconstitutional for citizens of Mexico to have representation in our country!

    Also, LaRaza (‘The Race’), should be expelled from ANY government related funds or activity as well. It is a criminal act to allow such a blatantly partisan, racist organization to even operate in this country (just like Acorn), much less be granted a voice or taxpayer money.

    I must remind everyone though, that this does NOT in ANY WAY mean that we’re getting a fair census…

    For the record, there are some very good people at the ground level of the census who are doing their damnedest to ensure that the census is accurate (fair isn’t the correct adjective as far as they’re concerned).

    Yes, we all know it’s what Bo and Co. do with the numbers after the fact that is the problem. The census was never meant to be a political football. Leave it to Obama to make it so.

    I was watching Hannity when I heard that ACORN has been cut from invlvement with the cencus. I am NOT buying it yet. ACORN is a monster with many arms. It would not surprise me at all to learn that the current administration and ACORN come up with a scheme to use some organization tied to ACORN, or rename and reporganize with the same scumbags in charge, to stay in the census game/scam. They will certainly try to hide it and to cover their tracks….. But they will definatly try. It is way to important a power grab to the Obama administration, the DNC, and their minions to give up.

    Good grief! I just heard David Brooks calling for the House leadership to force Joe Wilson to apologize to Obama, the American people and Congress on the floor of Congress. What a turd.

    David Brooks is a fool.

    Wilson should only apologize AFTER every single Democrat in the House and Senate publicly apology to the American people over the many unconstitutional actions taken by them and the Thug administration, including their attempt at Marxist health care.

    Wilson should only apologize AFTER Dingy Harry Reid publicly apologizes to the American people protesting their attempts to socialize health care for referring to them as evil-mongers.

    Wilson should only apologize AFTER Ninny Peloosi publicly apologizes to the American people protesting their attempts to socialize health care for suggesting we are Nazi’s.

    Wilson should only apologize AFTER Holder publicly apologizes to the American people for suggesting we are cowards.

    Wilson should only apologize AFTER Napolitano publicly apologizes to the American people for insinuating veterans are ripe for recruitment by terrorists.

    Wilson should only apologize AFTER the Drive-by Media publicly apologizes to the American people for repeating every one of these smears in an attempt to suggest those against their views are extremists, in an attempt to cover for all of the above.

    There are many more that should be apologizing before Wilson ever takes a breath to do so.

    I wonder if Juan McCain is still happy with his campaign finance “reform” after seeing all this coordination between the ‘Crats and these organizations?

    …and he appears to be looking for compromise (accepting defeat) on health care “reform”.

    While not totally disagreeing with your premise, nor saying I know everything, I know from very personal experience that those who are hired for even temporary (which nearly all are) work for the Census such as a “Lister” must fill out official gov forms (Standard Form 50 Rev 7/91 U.S. Office of Personnel Management– I don’t recall the “D” #). When your “HHC” and other equipment is given to you, I remember this, you fill out the “D-11805R”,
