Why are you playing dumb? They have RELENTLESSLY pushed this witch hunt of ACORN on conservative outlets like talk radio and Fox News simply because ACORN is perceived as "left wing", while completely ignoring FAR worse corruption cases of tax-payer funded war profiteering organizations. Conservatives hypocritically crusaded against ACORN purely to score cheap political points, this is obvious to any thinking people. Come on, you know better then this.

Republicans have selective outrage. They will never, ever vote to defund war profiteers.

Nice to see someone putting things into perspective!

Well done, Maddow!

the reason the republican noise machine is all upset about acorn is that they are registering people to vote adn soon the angry white vote will be outnumbered!...that is why 45% of texas voted for obama...the time when the rabid right will be outnumbered is coming..but there is a delay: .the extremists vote and the liberals unfortunately dont vote which is why the repubs still win..but soon the angry white vote will be voted down

SakarianOutcast, for much of my life I've shared your view, and in recent years realize my view was entirely bankrupt. We are the owners

SakarianOutcast, no one else. We are absentee owners and are getting exactly what our neglect of our job will always get. WE are the problem. WE are the only solution. It is time for us all to put up or shut up at barckobama(dot)com.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but most politicians, whether they are rep, or dem, or ind, are looking for cheap political points. Our system of government is good, but the people who run it are not...

Defund Blackwater !

But to NOT defund Acorn would be Political Suicide for Obama !

Since they were instrumental in his Election !

Acorn did Not promote McCain, yet they also get Republican Taxpayer money !

Those contracts are work contracts. Arguably they would be specific to quality of work. In cases of contract fraud, fines are made...to the tune of many millions.

investigative reporters are not the same as two people hired by corporate america. and they found a few people who were willing to tell them information. that was only the ACORN that fox entertainment wanted you to see, dear heart. do your OWN thinking!!

Saadfeld: How are Republicans scoring political points for defunding ACORN? If that's the case, then aren't Democrats scoring political points for also voting overwhelmingly to defund ACORN? ACORN claims to be non-partisan. Is ACORN lying?

[Saadfeld]

I'm not blaming Republicans, I'm pointing out how they are corrupt hypocrites that only care about scoring political points. If they want to call out ACORN then they should call out the others ten-fold because their crimes are MUCH worse. Democrats are just weak bastards, but right-wingers and Republicans are ridiculous hypocrites for screaming about ACORN but not Blackwater and KBR. You can defend them all you want, but you know this to be true.
