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....

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.

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

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.

@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.

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

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!

[ElDiaOctavo]

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

[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.

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.
