Pelosi punts on ACORN funding, says behavior was "despicable"

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, speaking to reporters during her weekly press conference just now, refused to say if she would support a Senate move to block ACORN from getting contracts from HUD -- suggesting that their behavior be scrutinized by a joint House-Senate conference committee instead. She did call the members of the group -- who were caught on tape apparently offering tax advice on how to set about a youth prostitution ring -- "despicable." But she portrayed at a few bad apples discrediting an organization with "hundreds" of honest organizers.

Hey Nancy, Al Capone did nice things for people too.

[Don Corleone]

Will she give back the money she got from them or their sub rosa organization? I think not.

[Kimberly GG]

Time for the release of another tape!

“...suggesting that their behavior be scrutinized by a joint House-Senate conference committee instead...”

Oh swell. The corrupt investigating the corrupt. Unbelievable.

I thought that Madam of the House Pelosi knew all about the operations of the Acorn house, as well.

I guess she, like Barney Frank, was unaware of the operations of a house right under her nose.

[marvlus]

Too many bad apples in one organization to let its leaders off the hook.

Nancy wants Al Capone to investigate 3-card monte dealers.

Hey it sure is strange old Faggie Frank has bept his mouth shut for a while now..Why isn't this little fag getting investigated for his survices to ACORN.. There are no red states. There are no blue states. There are only states where ACORN's already been indicted and states where they'll soon be indicted. Naturally. Of course. Not surprised. Wouldn’t have expected anything less. The same guy who led us down the primrose path on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is now out there as ACORN’s loudest supporter. ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, may have pulled off the most widespread voter fraud in American history last year. They’re being investigated or have already been convicted in 14 states. In response, Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachman proposed an entirely reasonable amendment that would have barred any organization under federal indictment from receiving funds from the mortgage reform bill. But blatantly Barney Frank, ACORN’s congressional sugar daddy, saw to it that the amendment was removed, defeated, condemned to the ash heap of history. Remarkably, ACORN will now have access to up to $8.5 billion (with a “b”) from President Obama’s various “stimulus” schemes.
 Frank claims ACORN isn’t eligible for any of the moneyOf course, this is the same guy who defended Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and had a prostitution ring operating out of his condo. Apparently the prostitution ring is still operating, but has moved its headquarters to Washington, DC.

Yes, I heard Rep. Steve King on a local radio show (Boston -- Howie Carr) say that Barney Frank has always been one of ACORN's strongest defenders.

[American Constitutionalist]

Now Nancy ? why would you use Apples ?
Jesus said that a little leaven spoils the whole lump.

[Osage Orange]

This ACORN thing is a big problem...and the DIMS know it.

They are trying very hard to ignore this..and make it go away.

The Pubbies ought to be on this like white on rice.....

Of course it will be up to regular citizens to expose this.....once again.

[PLD]

This little runt should be behind bars..

[fujimoh]

Everything about Pelosi is “despicable”

[PLD]

If none of the Washington thugs are taken down by this then we might as well forget it..Remember Obama is also very deeply associated with this bunch..

“”despicable””

Strange - this is exactly what I called her actions in an email to her this week.......

But she portrayed at a few bad apples discrediting an organization with "hundreds" of honest organizers.

Yet one or two people in the tea party crowd carrying Obama as Hitler or the Joker posters means everyone there is racist and dangerous.
