Has nothing to do with Mr. Van Jones either he only "Quit" before they got the bus to come around the corner..... Then after he resigns , it was reported by media..... This has nothing to do with the associations of the current administration... It's just sure coincidence, left? So Mrs. Exec. Director of ACORN is also staying on, Of course she won't be stepping down...... No Way Jose! Let's see how far the rabbit hole goes...... Then comment on here with gusto! But I'm an admitted 'racist' a racist against corruption of any creed, color, religious, or pagan (religious devotee) foreign but especially DOMESTIC ! Wait till you read the ties to sitting president Mr. Hubby of Michelle O'Bama. His tenure at ACORN as legal counsel...was shredded days before that is just my guess. But we mustn't make a molehill out of a mountain, now should we?? Ohh, this is all just B.S.

I don't even know what you're getting at accusing the US Navy of being a criminal enterprise based on the number of sailors in the Brig at any one time. And the Navy is the farthest thing from socialist, though if you can make any cogent points proving that assertion I'll happily entertain them... C'mon, really...Comparing the Navy to ACORN? Weak tea indeed. I await your response... edge,

I thought only racists thought that way. At least that's what you keep telling us. Jennifer, if an conservative organization had even one third of the idictments filed against them as this ACORN crowd has there would already be a bunch of USAtty seeking RICO indictments and you know it. Now I'm sorry that outfit seems to be filled with crooks. Trouble is, it's not Dans fault they're crooks, nor is it Bob's or Wm. or mine. Nor has anyone here said that all of ACORN's people are crooks. Thing is, allegations of voter fraud, etc have been coming out for years and ACORN has failed to police it's own ranks. Again, that's not our fault. I am curious, Edgell, why Mr. Obama’s skin color is important to his IQ? I thought only racists thought that way. At least that’s what you keep telling us.

The only difference is that these are two young Americans who are risking their whole future on seeking the truth about what most in America are afraid to do. And I only hope that they will "ignite" a firestorm of more like minded young men and women to stand up for the Life and Liberties they were told to believe about in H.S. History class. That longing for the "REAL America" was a true testament this weekend at the National Mall. This is no coincedence and the timing couldn't be more Perfect !

It's obvious. To typify this entire organization as criminal is such a stretch, that I'm amazed you can even stand to put that in writing. It's not critical or intelligent. It remains to be seen what happens next with this. Senate's precipitous defunding of ACORN is premature, but it seems that the whole country is becoming terrified of people like you. Lucky the rest of the world is watching and just waiting for people like you to make the wrong move. We'll be on the side of your President. You might want to dial it down a notch or three.
