“I am surprised they are deserting. I would have expected them to circle the wagons.”

Can we please have this be the “at the end of the day” story of the Obama administration’s relationship with the media?

Maybe it's just me but this is a very difficult time to get through, even if I sometimes manage a glimmer of hope. Just a suggestion but couldn't we phrase things like this "We have to watch their every move or The ship will be renamed and have another crew..

I can't see how fueling our hopelessness and impotence in these dangerous times can be helpful. That's what the other side is trying to do by diminishing the townhalls and Washington march. The men who founded this country had an attitude of making a difference, I'd like to personally shoot for that as well.

Just picked this comment but it seems like these types of comments are the majority these days, not just here, on all conservative boards. Nothing personal. IMHO

Thanks for that, you know that tyhey are scambling to set up a firewalled organization so they can get their hands on that 8.6 billion before the 2012 election.

TheAcorn staff are simply abandoniong Acorn like rats from a sinking ship and heading for COI-TUS ( Community Organizers International-The United States)

They will conduct the same destructive activity but with a security component to keep investigatve reporters out.

Now the real social war starts.

YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT. ENOUGH OF THIS SNARKY, DOWN-IN-THE-MOUTH, “WOE IS ME”, “WE LOST” COMMENTARY. IF THE MILITARY WENT INTO BATTLES WITH NEGATIVE, “ALL IS LOST”, “WE’RE GOING TO LOSE” WAR CRIES, DAMN, NO BATTLES WOULD BE WON.

KEEP THE BATTLE CRY UPBEAT, REPORT THE FACTS, HAVE A GAME PLAN AND FOLLOW THROUGH. THIS IS AN UP AND DOWN FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES AND FREEDOM, UNDERSTAND IT AS SUCH, AND DO NOT DWELL ON THE NEGATIVE. LET’S HEAR IT FOR POSITIVE INPUT ON HOW THIS DAMN WAR WE’RE FIGHTING WITH THE COMMUNIST WHITE HOUSE CAN BE WON! HOOAH!

Grassley uncovered some big info about them shifting funds from charitable to political organizations.

Recall how much trouble Gingrich got in for just the HINT of this...Let’s nail ‘em to the wall, as they did Gingrich for something much, much less pernicious...

...pound them with fury wherever they try to hide. That is how you put an end to corruption

Right. This is not an easy task, is it? And it won’t be easy in this case. No matter how obvious and evident is the corruption that is assualting our sensibilities.

Van Jones didn’t read the 911 Truther petition that he signed, either.

They create a new organization which assimilates the aspects and assets of the former.

A white, male Republican speaker would have been asked to resign over that.

There are distressing double standards going on in this country. It is a shame that Dr. King’s dreams are not being lived out [’I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin [nor their gender, nor their Christian faith], but by the content of their character.’]

They can't.

ACORN, and the likes of them, IS the Rat party.

Change the name and change some of the people and they will move on as usual.

I agree. I’m sick and tired of hearing news personalities referring to what’s going on at ACORN as mere “shenanigans”.
