***Full interview below*** Today Chris Wallace interviewed ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis and noted ACORN critic Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA). Politico reports on the interview here: Issa to ACORN: Will you come before Congress? Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) challenged ACORN chief
Today, the New York Post rolls out an almost 2,000 words on the history, and troubles, of ACORN. It is a great place to start cracking open the ACORN nut: Just how nutty is ACORN? Very, say longtime watchers of
From the Associated Press: WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama says there should be an investigation into the hidden-camera video involving employees at the activist group ACORN and a couple posing as a prostitute and her pimp. The two ACORN
You’d think for $53 million in federal funds — not to mention hundreds of millions of dollars from left-wing foundations — over the years, ACORN would be able to pay its own employees well. It turns out that while their
In a front page story today, the Washington Post digs into many of the troubles and scandals that have plagued ACORN in recent years. Here’s a key graph on the last ‘independent review’ ACORN conducted: In a June 2008 report
From the riots and chaos of the 1960s to the anti-war rallies of the Bush years, the American Left’s revolution has been widely televised. In fact, the Big Three and Dead Tree Press played a major part in that revolution.
From an article that will appear in tomorrow’s Chicago Tribune: ACORN is in very deep, very public trouble, and the U.S. attorney general should appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate. What we know so far is due entirely to two
Journalists need to ask themselves, how did this happen? How could they miss the corruption at ACORN? President Obama was once an ACORN lawyer, so the group is certainly significant enough to warrant media scrutiny. Then how did all the
From Fox News: The House and Senate each passed bills this week that would strip ACORN of taxpayer money, but it may not be so easy to halt federal funding for the scandal-plagued community organizing group. The measures to de-fund
Interesting press coverage from San Diego. ACORN holds a press conference to announce they are standing behind their employee, who was captured in undercover footage from James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles offering to help smuggle into the country underage prostitutes
Henry Waxman, who for most of his years in Congress has fancied himself a crusader against corruption in government, voted against a House bill that cut all federal funds to the embattled group ACORN. ACORN has been involved in a
Jesus told the first generation of bishops, the apostles, to be as wise as serpents and simple as doves. Up until very recently, this generation of bishops got it backwards when it came to ACORN. There’s obviously been a lot
I’m not sure why I bothered to sign up for MySpace. My manager assured me that it would be good for my career, but that was a long time ago, way back when it was okay to call the President
From today’s Washington Examiner. I posted my analysis of the 345-75 vote in the House to defund ACORN yesterday, and Byron York provides an excellent analysis of the issue today. But I have to say that I am still stunned
Yesterday I picked up The Washington Post from my doorstep and scanned the front page for coverage of the latest ACORN scandal. Call me naive if you want to, but The Post is my hometown paper and I maintain high
So when two scrappy DC journalists bring down a President, it’s turned into “All the President’s Men,” winning accolades and Oscars. When an unemployed single mother of three takes the fight to an energy giant, it becomes a blockbuster vehicle
My guess is that all the questions were about ACORN, Van Jones and the National Endowment for the Arts scandals, which CNN obviously knows nothing about.
“The behavior of Jonathan Klein, the president of CNN, has been despicable during this.” MEGYN KELLY (co-host): Joining me now is Andrew Breitbart. He’s the founder of the website the video first appeared on. It’s called BigGovernment.com, and the videos
Rep. George Miller (D-CA) is Chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee. Noone would ever mistake him for a member of the Blue Dog Caucus–the organization of relatively ‘moderate’ democrats in Congress. Not to put to fine a point
From the Telegraph in UK, journalists across the pond continue to follow the ACORN scandal here: If there’s one story that’s had it all in the past week it’s the series of undercover reporting stings that have uncovered the true
Last week, the United States Senate delivered a very public rebuke of ACORN. 83 Senators went on record to say that ACORN should be prohibited from receiving any more federal housing grants. But, the outrage over ACORN’s activities didn’t end
The announcement by ACORN that it is creating a panel of inquiry consisting of its corrupt friends is a fairy tale. ACORN did the same thing last year after an internal scandal but when the honest people on ACORN’s internal
Big Government has obtained the full text of the amendment–technically a “motion to recommit” to defund ACORN. The “Defund ACORN Act” passed the House this afternoon by an overwhelming margin of 345-75. The House vote comes just days after the
