"Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., said that ACORN has received $53 million in taxpayer funds since 1994 and that the group was eligible for a wider set of funding in the pending legislation, which funds housing and transportation programs. "

Hmmm. Doesn't sound like they've gotten much $$ over the years. I figure they don't need the theoretical $Zillions. Hope they clean up their act !

pales in comparison the $8.5 Billion in stimuls funds Barney Frank wants to reward them with.

Would never happen. ACORN is not going to go down quietly. The fact that it happened so quickly and quietly just means it is not serious.

The pot calls the kettle black?

Last week, we saw some pretty disturbing activities revealed in the undercover footage from ACORN Housing’s Baltimore office. By any measure of conduct, the actions of ACORN’s employees should never have happened. It turns out the actions shouldn’t have happened for another, very simple, reason: ACORN can’t legally operate in the state of Maryland.

According to the following documents, ACORN, Inc.–the parent organization of all things ACORN–forfeited its corporate charter in Maryland in 2006. ACORN Housing forfeited its corporate charter in 2008. Any ACORN office in the state of Maryland is potentially operating illegally.

The Maryland Attorney General has made noise about prosecuting the intrepid journalists who undercovered the misdeeds of ACORN employees. Perhaps he should focus instead on how ACORN was able to operate without a license in his state.

Any chance these so-called "reporters" can learn the difference between the Baltimore City State's Attorney and the Maryland Attorney General? Jeebus.

That was debunked a month ago. Are you senile perhaps?
