Glenn Beck defeats ACORN ( They are defunded )
Michelle Malkin ^ | September 14th | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 09/14/2009 4:25:55 PM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

That headline needed to be written. Somewhere, anywhere. And it needs to stand because it's true.

Glenn Beck has been without a doubt the tip on the spear here. Sure, all of us helped. From further getting the word out to digging up small tidbits. Breitbart played a major part. But it was GB with his radio show and his TV show and the never ending drum beat who made all of this happen.

Thank you Glenn. May your family be safe. You are such a huge target now that we all fear for yours and your family's lives.

I am all in for Glen. I do not care what they do to me either. I am going after Kathy Castor the Congresswoman in Tampa who is totally in bed with ACORN and SEIU. Any ideas?

Keep pounding the drum, keep educating those around you, keep undercutting the liberal media.

It’s never been clearer, the liberal media is without a doubt the biggest enemy and #1 target we conservatives should have.

Bigger than Obama. Bigger than congressional liberals or other libs. Bigger than the UN. Bigger than the terrorists and Osama. They are the enemy inside the gate.

The media should be our first priority.

I know I’ve made it mine.

I contacted my representative demanding he heed the call for ACORN to be investigated and demand immediately ceasing anymore federal funding for ACORN. I suggest everyone contact their representatives for the same reasons.

“You are such a huge target now that we all fear for yours and your family’s lives.”

I would add that I fear for conservatives as well.

If they dig up something on the Beckster, in the absence of elected Republicans with huevos, then this movement is in trouble deep.

Too many are pinning their hopes on a talk show host. Add that to the bizarre habit of conservatives eating their own when scandal erupts and we have a powder keg.

Yes, the hard-left is that smart.

These talk show hosts need to back off taking the position of the “leaders of the Republican party.”

Isn’t it interesting we keep hearing that phrase? Where in hell are the ELECTED Republican leaders anyway?

The closest we’ve gotten was a few intermittent protestations from various, elusive members of the party.

A lone voice dares cry “You lie!” and it’s a worldwide scandal.

Are they in on this destruction? Are they cowards? Are they being threatened? What?

I, for one, would like to know because right now, by-and-large, they are MIA, or is it AWOL?

I hope all of their “volunteers” will jump ship, since their meal ticket has dried up. Makes you wonder if any of their funding came from honest donations or if they’ve been living off of us all these years.

Perhaps a better analogy would be Glenn was the arm that threw the spear and set it in motion.

I am going to do an archive search in my local paper (Richmond Times Dispatch) to see if Acorn pops up in any way...heard last week of one guy, don’t remember which city, who grabbed a few of his buds to go down to their local Acorn office to run their own protest, signs and all.
Might be a good way to spend a few hours on an indian summer afternoon...sorry about the racial slur.

This means very little. This did not stop any payments.

ACORN has 200+ shell orgs according to ACORNwatch. They are probably still receiving funds.

If ACORN already got several billion dollars via the “stimulus,” then how does this change anything? Or am I missing something because I haven’t read the stories???

They haven’t yet received the funds the democrats included in the Apollo Alliance fashioned Stimulus Bill. IOW, the democrat criminal enterprise tried to fund them to the hilt but failed to get the borrowed money out to them in time for Wade and Dale Rathke to allocate the funds into their hidden accounts.

"Where in hell are the ELECTED Republican leaders anyway?"

When you consider what they did to Palin, I would say that, yes, they are all threatened in many different ways by these criminal elements and many have sold out or have been bought off.

Even Fox pushes a big Government with a rightish slant. O'Reilly is evidence, with his Harvard liberal indoctrination and always coming in for the rescue in the last inning to defend liberal policies and cronies.

It's up to US as a united people to make them tell the truth. We are all we have.

Start with her list of campaign donors. If she is in bed with ACORN/SEIU one of their 361 fron orgs will be listed as a donor.

Find a scandal on her...with ACORN, it can’t be far away!

ALSO, make sure our side is hypervigilant on voter fraud...cover every precinct voting place. This is how they win.

And get the list of TEA Party participants to help you!!!They are most likely of different parties, some even democrats!

Good luck.

ACORN will only be defunded if the bill passes in both the House and the Senate and the amendment is not stripped out. Don’t take your eye off the billions at stake here.

Well, we need to get to work putting ‘We the people.’ on the ballot, cuz I won’t vote for single Republican unless I see some fight in them, the yellow-bellied sissies!

Get out there and fight for us!

I will not vote for them just because there are communists in power.

If they don’t fight for us then what’s the point?

Anyway, I prefer a quick death to a slow, agonizing one.

Glenn has definitely done fine work on exposing ACORN, but I believe the tipping point for this vote has to be credited to a 25-year old independent film-maker and his courageous 20-year old compatriot. They have done brilliant investigative journalism here of a calibre we haven’t seen from the state run media in decades.

These kids are fantastic. A huge heartfelt thank-you to them both. I hope they have hired security.

YES! The courage of those two young people is so inspiring to a nation hungering for decency in high places. Glen is fighting the corruption which is bleeding the American taxpayer to death and our dollars seem to be going to fund more and more corruption. God bless and keep him and his family..He is such a leader and it is such a relief to hear the truth coming from that television.
