House Republicans To Defund ACORN Again, Even Though It Still Does Not Exist

[Seawytch]

The maggots formerly associated with acorn have moved on to crawl out from beneath other rocks......

Lets hope the right keeps shining the spotlight on those beggars....

Unlike the sterling men at Halliburton.

Who sold the government such crappy equipment it electrocuted our troops.

That's what you folks support.

Three cheers for our murderous conservative politicians..

And they really did reconstruct themselves. New electrocutions brought to you by Xe!

Gotta love it.

House Republicans To Defund ACORN Again, Even Though It Still Does Not Exist

WASHINGTON -- House Republicans are scheduled to vote on two separate budget bills this week, each of which would reject funding for the poverty activism group ACORN, despite the fact that ACORN disbanded three years ago.

ACORN, also known as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, came under heavy fire in the fall of 2009 after conservative videographer James O'Keefe released a set of selectively edited videos that appeared to show its employees offering advice on tax avoidance related to prostitution and child smuggling. Independent investigations by the California attorney general, the Massachusetts attorney general and the Brooklyn, N.Y., district attorney would later clear ACORN of criminal wrongdoing, and an investigation by the Government Accountability Office would clear ACORN of charges that it mishandled federal funds.

But in the fall of 2009, Congress banned federal funding for ACORN using broad language that applied to "any organization" that had been charged with breaking federal or state election laws, lobbying disclosure laws or campaign finance laws or with filing fraudulent paperwork with any federal or state agency. The funding ban also extended to any employees, contractors or others affiliated with any group so charged.

Good work folks.

You guys should be a shoe in come 2014.

Going to de-fund something that doesn't exist? What's the problem then?

Congress is suppose to put up legislation to address real live problems?

That's their function, you know.

Otherwise..they are getting paid, and very well, for nothing.

ACORN Received $31 Million in Government Funding Since 1998

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is asking President Bush to immediately block all federal funding for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) until the FBI completes its multiple investigations of the group’s suspected voter registration fraud.

31 Million? Congress probably spends more than that on haircuts since 1998. More if you throw in shoeshines.

Have you had your head in the sand for the last 50 years or so?

Here's the thing, Step.

They were cleared of almost every "charge" (Which was specious enough).

And, they performed a very vital function, on the cheap. They found housing for the very poor and ex cons.

Seems that congress didn't replace that function either. Typical.

Of course. Republicans don't care about the underclass. They are all about the "haves and the have mores".

Jesus christ man, it's pretty simple, follow our discussion.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

They aren't funded by Congress and haven't been.

Catch up.

yeah, like Planned Parenthood isn't...
catch up and stop being a tool

Again.

This thread is about ACORN.

Stay focused.

Retards gonna tard. I thought the thread was about Acorn? So you bring up Haliburton?



With this kind of consistency, it's no wonder you have no cred here, dude.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Republicans targeting a group because of its perceived political leanings?

lol, the difference between that and the charges of what IRS employees did is...???

Government spending is a real live problem. Defunding junk like Acorn is a perfect example of them working to solve it. Whether you like it or not. Jeebus, you're about as bright as a burnt out bulb.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Is anyone surprised that the usual rw's are in favor of voter suppression?

Again.

Are you being serious with this?

I mean, you DO know that they're throwing money at something that does not exist anymore.

Jeeeeez.

You rw's are downright scary.

Not to mention that the right was fine with IRS targeting liberal groups.

Because had the republican legislation included ALL agencies charged with a crime against the government not just ones involved in "voter fraud"..Halliburton wouldn't ever be getting another dime.

Im not a rightwinger, and it's no surprise that government is wasteful, corrupt, wasteful and then wasteful and corrupt.

You dullards are downright stupid!

Government spending is a problem, but defunding an organization that doesn't exist isn't going to solve anything. If only 31 Million was ever spent on it to begin with, they are wasting time over an infinitesimal drop in the bucket. Political grandstanding is all it is. You seem to be rather dim yourself.

 

[boedicca]

The funding for ObamaCare "Navigators" is a slush fund for ACORN.

Just sayin'.
