My syndicated column today investigates the deep pockets behind the “grass-roots” campaign for Obamacare. Chicago crony/White House senior adviser David Axelrod is, of course, the master of astroturfing. So it certainly comes as no surprise that left-wing puppetmasters are behind the government health care takeover lobby. But an informed citizenry needs to know the nitty [...]

This is what intimidation looks like.

This is how ACORN rolls…
Physical intimidation:
Watch Fox News video here (h/t: William Amos).
Legal intimidation:
Read here. Whistleblower Anita MonCrief has been sued by Project Vote/ACORN to shut her up. Read her latest reporting at the Hot Air Green Room and on her blog while you can.
As long as you tolerate your tax dollars feeding these [...]

Waste. Fraud. Abuse. SHHHHHH!

Slush fund.

Big Government bedfellows.

Culture of corruption.

“No one has a right to federal funds.”

My column today looks at the political corruption of the Obama Justice Department. With the crime-coddling crony Attorney General Eric Holder in charge, no one should be surprised, of course. Members of Congress who care about electoral integrity need to press the administration on who intervened in the New Black Panther Party case and why. [...]

Have you ever wondered why liberal blogs have shown zero interest in the coordinated corruption between the Obama campaign, ACORN, and its non-profit affiliates who are barred by law from engaging in partisan political activity?
Here’s an internal e-mail from Project Vote/ACORN lead official Nathan Henderson-James addressed to his “colleagues” — all editors and writers for [...]

As part of our ongoing look at the coordinated corruption between ACORN, Project Vote, and the Obama campaign, here’s another internal email between staffers discussing how to use the Obama donor list — and an April 2008 New York Times piece on Florida voter registration laws — to drum up more money and bodies for [...]

No illegal alien voter left behind.

“ACORN is a criminal enterprise.”
These are the five simple words that every conservative candidate and officeholder should be repeating often and loudly.
It’s about the fraud. It’s about the coordinated corruption. It’s about the effect on housing, the economy, and the entire electoral landscape.
Does the GOP get it yet? At least one Republican candidate does.
Kris Kobach, [...]

I wrote earlier this month about the need for the Right to counter the huge Obamacare push by the big government alliance. Resistance has to happen on the ground, on the airwaves, and in the halls of Congress. ACORN, the SEIU, and the rest of the liberal grass-roots network are organized and committed to helping [...]

They thought it would go away. They were wrong. Obama and the Left thought ACORN’s scandalous racket was a dead issue. But whistleblowers, investigative bloggers, and talk radio continue to press for transparency and taxpayer accountability. Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King has renewed efforts for congressional hearings into the financial [...]

Here are just a few of the exchanges between NYTimes reporter Stephanie Strom and ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief last summer and fall over the increasingly obvious links between ACORN, Project Vote, and the Obama campaign. (Both Strom and MonCrief used pseudonymous e-mail addresses while communicating). It was my blog post on the [...]

My syndicated column today takes another whack at the New York Times. Outside of the blogosphere and Fox News, the Fishwrap of Record’s admission that it spiked an election eve story on the possible illegal coordination between the Obama campaign and ACORN’s canvassing arm, Project Vote, has gotten zero scrutiny.
Fortunately, when the [...]

ObamACORN and the Fishwrap of Record.

Democrat Rep. John Conyers backs down from his pledge to investigate ACORN fraud: Bok, bok, bok.
Matthew Vadum zeroes in on the right question: What happened in a mere two weeks to change Conyers’ mind? Did he get a call from friends of ACORN in high places? Did he get something else? Why drop the call [...]

“The auctioneer, who had a pacemaker according to associates, began to collapse and was later taken to a local hospital.”

My column today spotlights the radical re-shaping of the electoral landscape by the Obama and Company census conspirators. The immediate agenda of the left-wing census volunteer groups: freezing immigration raids. The long-term goal: Exploiting the massive population of illegal aliens to redraw the political map and secure a permanent ruling majority.
As I’ve long argued, [...]

Big government bedfellows.

My syndicated column today continues the theme I blogged about two days ago in the “Rule of the Mob” post. Keep an eye on next week’s G20 summit in London. Thousands of anti-capitalism zealots will be amassing there to intimidate and harass bankers. The vandalizing of the Scottish ex-banking executive’s home in Edinburgh is just [...]

I’m scheduled to talk about the GIVE/SERVE Act on Glenn Beck’s show at around 5:30pm Eastern. (Update: Watch the vid at Hot Air.)
Quin Hilyer takes a closer look at the creepy national service expansion plans in today’s DC Examiner, and posts an update on one troublesome provision:
Between being first officially “reported” to the House and [...]

An ACORN fund-raiser on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals?
I’m kidding, right?
Nope.
And a GOP Senator approves of this?
I’m kidding, right?
Alas, it is true.

Fox News reports that ACORN will be one of a plethora of left-wing groups “helping out” with the Census.
But of course.
The U.S. Census is supposed to be free of politics, but one group with a history of voter fraud, ACORN, is participating in next year’s count, raising concerns about the politicization of [...]

It was a beclowning. A cable castration. Sacrificial slaughter. Sadomasochist programming. But more than anything else, the Jon Stewart/Jim Cramer show was an object lesson. An object lesson in how the one thing the media/infotainment world loves to cover most is itself, itself, itself.
Here is a screenshot of the top half of Memeorandum, the [...]

Militants.

The sound of silence.

If it isn’t fraudulent ACORN foreclosure “victims” siphoning off taxpayer funds, it’s well-off home borrowers in Nancy Pelosi’s backyard demanding a piece of the mortgage bailout pie.
Moochers to the left of me, moochers to the far left…
Legislation heading to the floor of the House today would help more Bay Area homeowners qualify for the mortgage [...]
