And again for the hopelessly misled, ACORN gets federal money as the result of contracts let (typically by HUD) that it bids on and wins. ACORN then provides the services contracted for and is paid for doing so. Sort of like how I bet you expect to be paid for whatever work you do for your employer.

I believe HUD is withdrawing their financial support and not renewing contracts with ACORN.

Registering voters? That's what ticks the right-wing off about ACORN. They have been registering a lot of eligible voters lately, and not very many of those turn out to vote Republican. There is nothing else behind the ACORN smear campaign than that. The rest is a sham of smoke and mirrors designed to provoke the not so very aware...

Pursuant to a Congressional vote that is very unlikely to withstand legal challenge.

illegal, politically inspired actions are smoke and mirrors? No wonder you are so in love with this administration.

I just wish ACORN would go away, but it won't happen until they are found guilty of fraud over and over. That will happen sooner or later.

I threw FOX in as a diversionary tactic to see how many right wingers would respond. It worked.
I live in New Mexico?
You righties sure are good at wiretaps.

What has race or religion got to do with ACORN or Glenn Beck, or anything I said for that matter?

Also I believe that Van Jones (during the period in question) was the number 2 mentioned story
It "made it clear" to you, and yet you forgot what "it" was that brought on this revelation?

Please make a note of it
It hard to follow you, I fail to see what ACORN has to do with race. Offering advice to people who come in off the street, on the best way to run a successful prostitution ring with 13 year old girls from El Salvador was the story Beck was running, how does this indicate that people who are outraged are racist? The other story Beck ran on ACORN was when an ACORN office was told they were under investigation and they tossed thousands of documents into a nearby dumpster, how was that racist?

What ticks people off is when ACORN registers more voters in a county then people who actually live there.

You see, that is why large amounts of fraudulent voter registration forms is a problem. You have a tight race, and the crooked poll workers fill in phony ballots from the pool of fraudulent "registered voters" and the ballots are magically found to be in favor of their desired candidate.

I want fair and honest elections, where the only people who have their vote counted are the people who are legally aloud to vote in that election; no dead people, no cartoon characters, no one who is not an American citizen, and no one who is not legally allowed to vote in that particular election.
