Somke and mirrors.

I will be willing to wager straight up that ACORN, its affiliates and successors will receive more in taxpayers' funds in 2011 than it received in 2008.

ACORN was helping fraud the IRS with their tax assistance while being paid by IRS?

This gets better and better. ACORN seems to have been everywhere.

ACORN was acting like H and R Block.
If H & R Block did this and was cought on tape there would be federal charges...

Hannah and James have fired a proton torpedo into the reactor of the Death Star.

So, let me get this straight:

ACORN just got slapped with a $548,213.25 federal tax lien from the Internal Revenue Service, on top of $334,121.43 in tax liens from Louisiana state tax officials, and the IRS is just now waking up to the fact that, well, there might be something wrong, here, ya' know?
