Is Acorn finished?

I'm working nights lately and will be late tonight as I have to watch Beck. He has an exclusive on the most recent Acorn tape, which he says beats them all hands down. In his words; "It'll make the skin peal off your face". I hear that so far, they have been booted off the census project, and have had some major government financing repealed. Last night FOX had a tally of all the networks and how many times they had reported on Acorn. It showed how the so called main stream media is biased. I would agree that FOX is too, and leans way right, but at least they do report on everything (comparatively speaking). So what happens now, does Acorn evaporate and re-emerge under a new name?


BTW, I changed the sig.

They're a mess to be sure. I don't know what incident you're talking about, but the hooker video probably was the last fork in that potato.

Thanks for changing your sig. As a happy, hard working liberal I enjoy it.

Saw where the Senate voted 83-7 to cut off funding to Acorn, it I got it right. I was actually shocked at the tally.

But are they gone?

One word...Hell no!

Fox is like a group of 13 year old girls getting excited over nothing.

Both Fox and Acorns actions are repulsive.

You may want to do some reading up on them. Scum is the first thing that comes to mind.

Even the Nazi's did "a lot of good", at least at the start.

ACORN has committed enough concerted illegal actions that they could be charged under the RICO Act. And I'm not just saying this because I don't like them. I don't like anyone or any organization that commits voter fraud, intimidation, etc...especially when they are being funded by taxpayer's dollars.

While I hate liberal criminals, I despise conservative criminals. Their actions discredit my viewpoints, and I take this as a personal offense.

But I gotta go. Have to drag my knuckles into the other room and watch "O'Reilly".
