Rep. Bachmann Exposes Federal ACORN Refunding

[rujiel17]

And by the way, Bachman's explanation omitted some very useful information which you can find here:

mediamatters. org/research/200910070029?lid=­1069010&rid=35700450

[rujiel17]

Don't be fooled, the entire reason ACORN is in the news is because the republicans know they can cut at the demoratic voting base by destroying anything that enables those groups to vote. If you can't acknowledge this, you've been duped by the fervor of the news cycle. The ACORN pimp thing was laughably staged.. the guy's shown in a pimp costume, but never talks to the woman in it. So what the fuck is the point of the costume, then, if it's part of the "story"? I'm glad ACORN exists.

[salbella50]

ACORN IS STILL OUT THERE..UNDER DIFFERANT NAMES....BACK ON THE JOB

[reddawgsrule]

Michele Bachmann, you rock! Go get 'em girl!

[DenePhD]

I think that this whole so-called 'EMERGENCY' will, when looked back from some distant point in the future, turn out to have been one of the cleverest moves to plunder the US treasury we have ever seen! AMAZING!

[ramosandcampean]

Well, I have nothing against "black" power or any other kind of power...except SOCIALISM which is what ACORN stands for. Perhaps blacks in America are just as dumb as billions of Third World'ers who have been fooled by pinko's like Castro, Chavez, and the like. God, I hope not.

[ramosandcampean]

"Continuing Resolution" - another way for Congress to demonstrate that they're too frikkin' LAZY to do their jobs! You could pull 535 names out of the phone book at random, and those folks would do a better job of running the country, and for lots less money, too.

[kaine98201]

Michele Bachmann is an unmitigated idiot. The provision that she's referring to is part of a continuing resolution attached to HR 2918. The continuing resolution was put into place to keep the federal government operating at 2009 levels until the 2010 budget can be passed. Everything in this CR expires on October 31st. The most disturbing thing about this video, is that she clearly doesn't know what a continuing resolution is...

[backrubs62]

well since the CR expires October 31. on november 1, the agreement is null and void thus allowing them to get money again

[kaine98201]

Except then again, congress would have to either pass another CR, or the Federal Gov't would be shut down. The only way they could be refunded is if congress passed a CR excluding this clause, or they were somehow included in the 2010 budget. Seriously, take a civics class or something. It's this kind of BS that Bachmann portrays as fact that solidifies her status as a moron for the rest of us.

[dwstutes]

They need to temporarily, and permenantly stop funding to Acorn regardless of the old or new bills, or legal technicalities. Hope you're right. But I wouldn't bet on it. Any chance of resuming funding under any circumstances should be opposed while the 'sleight of hands folks' are cleverly doing their thing.

[colombialover]

@dwstutes ACORN roxs! It does nothing wrong except serve many black people and others who need help fighting foreclosure. Your claims are just as pathetic as the lies the GOP said about Iraq etc.

[ElDiaOctavo]

An "unmitigated idiot"? WTF is that? An idiot that has not been mitigated? Good grief...buy a dictionary you unimaginative moron...

[obatomy]

No freaking WAY! Argh!

[princeorfrog]

Is this a wonderful country or what?

[reginaldgoldthwaite]

Amazing how they could sneak in such an maneuver without leaving any trace of it in HR 3288, its amendments, or any other supporting material.

[pataskalagirl]

Tax dollars going to fund child prostitution promotion and voter fraud. Telling people how to get away with pimping out children. They threw away all republican voter registrations and created phony democrat ones This we know from people who collected registrations that were republican. This org is nothing but corruption to the core. Time to get rid of democrats in congress who keep feeding this corrupt filth and all their corrupt offshoots..

[Judy2Day]

ACORN needs to be shut down... what a bunch of thugs...  Write to your Congressmen and advise them to stop funding ACORN permanently. This is our tax money at waste....

[McCaffertyHimself]

Michelle Bachmann is from Minnesota and so am I. Since she often gets things wrong, I recommend checking her sources on this.

[SecretCreed]

Yea? So WTF is stopping YOU?

Lazy POS liberal.

[SecretCreed]

I just want to know if ACORN will include underage prostitutes from foreign countries in the census or will they be excluded due to their non-citizen status?

[thepatriotdames1776]

Thank you! I am so VERY happy some people elected a brave American such as Rep. Bachmann!!! ACORN is corrupt....and yet YOU Liberal Democrats will continue to fund it with taxpayer money!  Thank you again, Rep. Bachmann. I will vote for you.

[sharpeagle]

Acorn slap on the hand for 1 month, Acorn taking census, Acorn registering voters, Acorn giving fire safety lessons, Acorn PAC?

What makes you people think that any of the Democrats are going to be kicked out in 2010? The web is too entwined to break the stranglehold on this Country. Everything that has been done prior to this Administration has come to roost. Now it is full bore ahead in tying up the loose ends. Takeover - Financial , Bank, automakers, Media -almost, health care - almost

[OKKix]

It certainly seems that way. But we can't just sit around moaning about it. We have to make some sort of effort to put save this country.. even if it means another civil war.

[MeeshTen32]

This REALLY makes me mad.

[OKKix]

If Congress doesn't take their funds away, maybe it's time "we the people" did.

[snarkthenews]

Take away their funds completely. GOOD GRIEF.

[keithmobile73]

WHAT THE HELL???

[keithmobile73]

who is responsible for this?

[SecretCreed]

I don't believe you would have to look further than oh let's say the current administration?

[libbiessuck]

Time to show the remaining ACORN videos! This is a crooked organization!

[ramosandcampean]

I've heard they've got a bunch of 'em. Someone ought to herd the US Congress into a room at gunpoint, and not allow anyone to leave until they've seen every stomach-turning minute of 'em! Let's hear Harry Reid and Pelosi try to "spin" that, eh?

[Gosmner]

Michelle Bachman is refusing to fill out her census. God Bless her for leading the way. No one should be forced to fill out the census. Where in the constitution does it give the Government the right to take the census? Thank God that the 2nd amendment gives us the American people the right to protect ourselves from intrusive and treasonous acts by the federal Government.

[SecretCreed]

Actually it is in the Constitution, it just didn't mention AC$RN would do it.

[Gosmner]

Really? It's in the constitution? The right of the Government to take the census is in the constitution? Really?

[SecretCreed]

Yes, it is.

[Gosmner]

As an ardent admirer of Michelle Bachmann I'm going to give her something special. A copy of the constitution! She always wants to know where things are in the constitution, so I know she will appreciate it.

However, she's really going to like it since I'm going to run the constituion through my word processor to amend it. To amend the constituion so that no one is required to answer census questions if Acorn is doing the asking. I love it and know she will too.

[SecretCreed]

I think she will too, as would any thinking American, for who would want such a corrupt organization undertaking anything mandated by our great Constitution?

[ramosandcampean]

The Constitution doesn't just allow the census, it requires it. That, however, doesn't spill over into a "right" to collect personal information about us. They can come to my door, and I'll tell them there is ONE person residing here. That's all they're getting from me. Remember, the Constitution also provides freedom from self-incrimination. Use it.

[Gosmner]

I love Michelle Bachmann!! I'm very concerned about Michelle Bachmann's well being. She is in full support of her supporters right to carry guns. So I'm not only afraid that one of her stalkers might shoot her but also that one of her supporters might shoot her. As we know sometimes people who carry guns shoot other people. I just afraid that one of her supporters will carry a gun to one of her town halls and go crazy for some reason and shoot her. Lets pray this never happens

[SecretCreed]

Yes the love is overwhelming. How do you contain it?

I think your fears are unwarranted, just like people who fear Obama will be shot in the head ala JFK. I think those people are silly. You aren't silly are you?

Just in case I pray this doesn't happen. I would never want to see the POTUS skull fly apart from some well aimed sharpshooter's bullet on national TV, that would be disgusting and very very sad.

[Gosmner]

Thank you for your insightful reasoning! Michelle Bachman so eloquently stated that in the coming revolution her constituents must be armed and dangerous. Since her followers will be carrying their guns to her meetings, Im still just very very alarmed that there might be an accidental discharge that might strike her down before the revolution even gets started. Lets pray that it doesnt happen.

[SecretCreed]

Oh, your welcome, but I have to wonder.

Since you said you carry and THAT YOU LOVE HER, by your (insightful) reasoning, you could be the one to have an accidental discharge that might strike her down before a revolution even gets started. Let us bow our heads and pray that doesn't happen.

[chessgame1960]

Its time to start the war.

[Gosmner]

I fully support the right of Bachmann's stalkers to carry guns, even at her town halls, but I sure hope none of them shoot her. That would be a shame. Now don't misinterpret what I say. I'm not calling for any of them to shoot her. That would be bad and I'm certainly not the type of person to incite violence. What I'm saying is that one of her stalkers might shoot her. Who can say for sure that she absolutely won't get shot? I'm just praying that it doesn't happen.

[SecretCreed]

And I support the right of anyone stalking you to carry guns, but I sure hope none of them puts one between your eyes. That would be a shame. Now, don't misunderstand what I say. I'm not calling for anyone to shoot you. That would be bad and I'm certainly not the type of person who would incite violence. What I'm saying is that one of your stalkers might put two in your chest and one in your brain. Who can say for sure you won't absolutely get shot? I'm just praying that it doesn't happen.

[Gosmner]

You don't need to be concerned my friend. I carry and have fast reflexes. They would be dead before they could fully draw. Since Michelle Bachmann has stalkers she would be wise to undergo firearms training.

[SecretCreed]

Oh contrare, they have been firing, and she's been defending herself just fine.

All she has to do is stand there and look beautiful and her stalkers fill with hate and melt into the obscurity they're so used to.

[SecretCreed]

Oh so you carry, then by your logic, you might shoot someone you actually like one day.

I don't think I want to be your friend.

[Gosmner]

I carry because from Michelle Bachmann, God bless her, I learned about the value of the 2nd admendmant. I learned that it is through the 2nd admendmant that we can prevent acts of treason by high level officials. Now how can one defend the constitution throught the 2nd admedmant if one doesnt learn how to use firearms?

Friend, I sugesst you buy and learn how to use a firearm. Michelle Bachman thinks it's important, so do it if you are a patriot!

[SecretCreed]

I agree, it is important, not only in the event of tyranny, but if some low life should happen to get the idea that he's going to take my life or the life of my family, there might be some means to stop him other than waiting 10 minutes for the police to show up.

You do value your life and the lives of your family yes?

And certainly you can see that there can be more than one reason for an inherent "right" yes?

[OKKix]

I personally think you are one sick individual and it doesn't take a misinterpretation of your comments to come to that conclusion. In fact, I don't think anyone here has misinterpreted your comments at all.

[Gosmner]

Friend if you call yourself a republican or a patriot you need to get with the program. Republican congressman have explicitly stated that it is within our rights to carry firearms and that this right should not be abridged when carrying them to town halls.

Now As Michelle Bachman has indicated, the Government can not be trusted with the census information and may use it to round up Americans. What are you going to do about it? Nothing I bet, so get out of the way of those who will.

[OKKix]

You're about as Republican as I am Chinese.

Your revolution already came and went so go back to your SEIU/ACORN meeting and tell them it's over.

[Gosmner]

OkKix

So youre Chineese! Good for you!! I hope you aren't here illegally. You also sound a bit paranoid. Maybe it would cheer you up if we all took loyalty oaths. Tell you what! Why don't you write up a republican or patriot loyalty oath? Everyone on YouTube can take it, me included.

Glen Beck says there is going to be a doomsday revolution. Get with the program dude.

[OKKix]

You're about as clever as the very temporary Neo-Marxist illegally residing in the white house.

[Gosmner]

OkKix.

Thank you so much for your support. And yes I agree that Obama is an illegal resident!! Not only that but he's marxist, fascist, communist, and Nazi all simultaneously. Well that's one thing we can agree on.

Now are you just going to just talk about it or do something about it? Tell me, what do YOU want to do about it?

[OKKix]

I wouldn't share my plans for lunch with you. Sorry, but if I don't trust liberals I'm sure as heck not going to trust a liberal posing as a Republican.

[Gosmner]

OKKix.

You should also know that we the republican constituents are patriots and our republican congressman have explicitly called on us to feed the tree of liberty. Are you just going to ignore that? What are you going to do to feed the tree of liberty? Sit on your duff I bet.

Revolution is comming! Don't believe it? Glen Beck speaks truth to power and he has amply backed up the call to revolution. I bet you hate Glen Beck also.

[Hellpig]

ACORN/SEIU  The "Enemies within"

[unsheepled]

Thomas MaCaulay stated it differently:

"Your Republic will be fearfully plundered and laid waste by Barbarians in the twentieth (21st) century, with this difference:

The Huns and Vandals who ransacked Rome were from without,

and your Huns and Vandals will come from within your Own Country, and be Engendered from Within by Your Own Institutions

[AssHatSockPuppet]

ACORN: Taxpayer funded corruption. So long as you vote DEM the corruption will be overlooked

[sexydarin1]

the demorat party is acorn. One organized crime orgainization funding another criminal organization. The demorat party took over the mafia's position as public enemy number one.

[pitbullmomma5]

What a surprise, these loons need to be taken out!

[Jjjs14]

Organized crime....... no, I'm talking about the federal government.

[herbs814]

Government IS organized crime.

Other criminals are just amateurs.

[vllmer]

I had a feeling these "defundings" weren't the end of it.

Let's keep up the heat on these scoundrels.

[SHMUJEW]

the Sinners in Washington will not survive longer than 2010

[CrackerMcGillicuddy]

Time for Revolution Part II

[divermike]

Our fat and happy government is just challenging American's to revolt against them....time is coming soon to a national capital near you.

Read George Washington's and Thomas Jefferson's parting words from their presidencies and remember what Ben Franklin said about keeping the republic.

[unsheepled]

Typical 'ends,'

predicted by a Scottish history Professor of Civilizations at graduation in 1787: "A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury.

[unsheepled]

From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money

form the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always Collapses over

Loose Fiscal Policy, always Followed by Dictatorship."
