Budget Battle

Acorn to Shut Political Operation

    • is there no end to the corruption of this regime? can anyone believe potus? the president of the United States is a pathological liar! last night he announced to the country that he listened to American and that's why he passed the healthcare bill. now he claims he's shutting down acorn. HAHAHAHAHA. Really? hey barack! surely you don't think that we believe ANYTHING YOU SAY!

      hear this, barry. we will prevail, even if it takes a revolution.

    • Since the acorn "brand" is tainted, these folks will just make up a new name, set up a new legal entity and apply for more federal $$. Like roaches finding a new rock to hide under. Glad they don't owe me any $$.

    • R U Kidding Me?- Please note that ACRON shutting down has NOTHING to do with ANY decision on Obama's part. I dont know what makes you think he has the power to shut down non-governmental organizations but he doesnt. This was a decision made by ACRON and ACRON alone.

      Like everything else surrounding this group (and indeed, every major issue in the nation), once again the demagogues dont look at the facts- they just see what they want to see and scream that the sky is falling.

    • No one cares that many of the poor have now lost their safety net- they just care that an evil organization that the commie muslim kenyan facist enemy of humanity had connections to is going under.

      Im glad to see that the GOP and the right care about people more then politics

    • "The big cracks in Acorn came last year when conservative activists posing as a pimp and a prostitute secretly filmed Acorn employees giving them advice on housing, tax evasion and other activities."

      And, like the typical right wing rag the WSJ is (and indeed everything Murdoch owns) you leave out that it came to light that the videos were DOCTORED.

    • Amazing. How is this possible? This is the terroist group BO used to get elected.

    • This is a shocker given this is the terroist group BO used to get elected.

    • 7:23 the fact is that potus funneled biliions in tarp money to acorn. please don't get antsy over the language. barry is up to his eyeballs in acorn. the sad thing is, even though he's not smart enough to keep these things under wraps, the liberals are so stupid that they still don't get it, even when the evidence is in front of them. HAHAHAHAHA. NOVEMBER.

    • Humm no where in that entire story is there any mention of the indictments from Nevada, Minnesota, Ohio and the pending indictments from other States. I am sure it was just a slip up from Brody Mullins.

    • Acorn will be back in another form. The leopard doesn't change its spots.

    • Nonsense....Acorn just changed their names in most places. The Dems put in 3.9 BILLION to fund these scammers. To get the money they now must apply with their new name and get B LOCK grants in a big lump sum now.

      So, game still on. Just under another name. But they must remember....they are still being watched...internally now.


      What has a point and I raelly like that everyone so far has ignored it. Burrying your head in the sand doesnt make the facts go away.

    • Yeah the doctored video caused Acorn to morph ! Crack me up. This is one of the most corrupt organizations EVER !!! Just like the congress, the senate and the ,,,dare I say it .................the little president . Sure he pushed thru a health-care nobody wants................What the hell, why not. We are supreme !!

    • the liberals are so stupid that they still don’t get it,

      Who are you talking about?

      Who are The Liberals?

      Are Liberals even from this country?

      I can't tell anymore because people come on here and talk about these things called Liberals that hide under your bed and rape you in your sleep. What do they look like? Where do they live? Can they fly and shoot laser beams out of their eyes?

    • The acorn has fallen but the oak tree is still strong.

    • ACORN - Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    • no more acorn for republicans to attack, much better that way
