Congressional townhall meetings have erupted into shouting matches thanks to right-wing disrupters. Some have even turned violent.

Thanks to the SEIU thugs.

The American people are under attack from their government, IMO.

And HEY Bertha, how ya doin as ACORN'S CEO....Ya feelin the crunch yet of regular folks who are NOT PAID expressing their beliefs. Beliefs which are totally AGAINST PRESIDENT UHBAMA?

Let's see....YOU GET PAID out of the money that I EARN. You live off of other's TAX DOLLARS that congress slips into bills for community action networks....of which your group is the supremo community action group, the fabulous ACORN! ( You sent the guys around to the very private HOMES of bankers, didn't ya babe, to threaten them into giving out unsecured loans to folks with no incomes so they could, in turn, buy houses, huh? You guys were only following the dictates of barney frank and chris dodd, right? Good ol gate protectors of Fannie and Freddie.

Well, Bertha, I want to know your salary.

And Bertha...I want to know the MOST RECENT CONSERVATIVE CAUSE your groups or minions in ACORN have hit the streets to promote and support...please, JUST NAME ONE....because I need to know that my congressmen and women have not given out MY MONEY to a group that works AGAINST MY PERSONAL BELIEFS...or is...a PARTISAN GROUP.

So babe...let's be forthcoming and transparent like your big boss, Mr. prior dope smoking now cigarette smokin Bo in the WH is.

I thought ACORN changed their name, since the current one is starting to get a soiled perception.

"Community Organizations International"

Most of its component organizations have two things in common: they have no experience or expertise in health care, and virtually all received large, tax-exempt grants from far-Left billionaires like George Soros and Teresa Heinz Kerry. Like the “grassroots” movement for campaign finance reform a decade ago, the public demonstrations for health care reform are largely a Soros-financed operation. Former Governor Howard Dean announced HCAN’s mission on the first night of the annual “America’s Future Now!” conference (formerly the “Take Back America” conference), hosted by the Campaign for America’s Future in June. Dean pledged to spend up to $82 million to advance socialized medicine. HCAN rallied 15,000 people in D.C. in April, 10,000 more in June, and with state affiliates like the Maine People’s Alliance, hundreds more in state capitals in July. A searchable database of upcoming spontaneous demonstrations can be found here.

However, a closer look at its members shows it is less a “grassroots” organization than a series of interconnected left-wing pressure groups united by a collectivist ideology and, for most, a common donor.

Among the 21 members of its steering committee are ACORN, MoveOn.org, and the Center for American Progress. CAP, headed by former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta, was created with Soros’ money as a counterweight to the Heritage Foundation. In 2007 alone, Soros’ charity, the Open Society Institute (OSI), gave CAP $1.75 million in 2007 and approved additional grants totaling $1.25 million. Soros personally gave millions to MoveOn.org before the 2004 elections, and he has funded ACORN, the most notorious practitioner of election fraud in the nation.

Maybe she will run for President since she is the “Chief” organizer.

A better name for the group might be “Community Organization National” or “CON”.

HA! I used their own form to change the words and make it an Oppose Øbama Care rant.

Use their resources to get OUR message across. Make it expensive for them. Use Alinsky’s playbook against them.

Yeah, ACORN...we oppose this so-called "health care reform." And we dare to speak out.

If you drama queens want to call that being "under attack," so be it.

But get used to it. Real, freedom-loving Americans DO have a voice and we're gonna keep on using it.

"In the ongoing effort to demonize ACORN, every instance of the word "community" has become associated with our efforts."

For good reason.

ACORN is BO....BO is ACORN
