Fox and Fox news are the same company. Duh. What a retarded comment.

News Corporation is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who owns both companies under the same conglomerate. Wow.

I really don't understand the contempt for spelling and grammar on this board but ok. I wonder what reasons they had for voting in favor of Acorn; maybe the question wasn't clear and they didn't understand it Those double negatives can be a doozy.

Oh and Obama wasn't a former Acorn attorney; he was a lawyer with a private practice and he represented Acorn in a lawsuit.

What I am suggesting is not the ownership, but the content.

look at who Acorn suppoorted and you will see its the usual thing.The lack of coverage from some networks until they had to says alot too.Obama said he really was up on it but of cousre knew about West and the police/professor incidents ;so he looks bad when asked if it shoudl be further investigated.

Come on, Nat, you talk about spelling and grammar and then you get into a purely semantical offering about being a lawyer and representing in a court case, or two. To me a lawyer representing someone is their lawyer. Just because he did it as a member of a law firm doesn't free him of being that group's lawyer, to me. The fact that he served them as an authority and teacher on the subject of community organizing tells me that serving as their lawyer may have been connected.

Now, in all seriousness, I do believe that he may have sunk some ships from his past when he said that they need to be investigated, yesterday. Surely he said that from wanting to appear to be something.

I really wasn't trying to turn this into English 101 but it gets annoying trying to figure out what people are trying to say when they type a bunch of run on sentences and fragmens wheel mispelling ever other word so then I have to go back and try to fill in the missing peaces rearrange the letters like a word jumble in the funny pages and by that time I've lost interest in whatever they have to say.

As for the lawyer bit, I guess it's just the wording of it. In my mind it should have said "Obama, who represented Acorn in a lawsuit..." but that's just me.

We cannot allow these 75 to remain unknown, they all should be called out on the carpet and be demanded to tell us why they still want out tax money going to this fraudulent group.

The democratic party is the part of corruption and Acorn is just the start of this.

Wonder how the former Acorn attorney Obama would have voted on this?

Any guesses?
Thanks for posting this...all who voted in favor should be checked into their connections with Acorn!

I agree.


I do not see any of the left wingers posting about how and why the 75 liberal idiots voted this way.

Usually they come up with excuses or reason to defend their constant wrongful decisions.

Lets keep this info ( the list ) alive and moving so these 75 LOSE THEIR JOBS.
