Well, the defunding of ACORN has finally run its litigation course, and, ACORN, BOHICA!

QuoteWASHINGTON – The Supreme Court won't hear an appeal from ACORN, the activist group driven to ruin by scandal and financial woes, over being banned from getting federal funds.

The high court on Monday refused to review a federal court's decision to uphold Congress's ban on federal funds for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

Congress cut off ACORN's federal funding last year in response to allegations the group engaged in voter registration fraud and embezzlement and violated the tax-exempt status of some of its affiliates by engaging in partisan political activities.

ACORN sued, but the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City upheld the action. The high court refused to hear its appeal.

What did the five fingers say to the face ACORN?

O'Keefe's stock-in-trade is lies.  Very much the Murdochian.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

You should be happy that once again lies were accepted as truth. Personally, I'm rather sad, not for the loss of ACORN (whom I could hardly care less about as an organization), but for the confirmation of my worst fears: That our country can't be saved, because people simply can't figure out what is true and what is false thanks to the media.

Really?

Quoteinvocations of Sarah Palin frequently employed the line "I can see Russia from my house," rather than the words she actually spoke, "You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska.

And by "you" I assume you are referring to Congress who stripped ACORN of its funding, not me.

Still watching American Pravda, eh?

Apparently not enough evidence for criminal charges.  Again, as I said on the Cain thread, it's really easy to bring sexual harassment claims.  The bar is set pretty low on it.  If a Jury or judge believes O'keefe is guilty, I hope he pays up big.  Other problem you've got is sexual harassment is the current fad on besmirching the character of those on the right.

What ever happened to toe-tapping?

The toe tappers are still hanging up in their closets....but ever since the gay bug prayer to heal thingy subsided, there was no need to turn on the closet light.

Harassment is a big winner in the gender wars...it's not limited to the right. The left just has a better grip on their guns.

Have you had your shots?

Oh, Olberdoosh is real news, it's not racist, sexist, hateful, nor a right-wing propaganda machine.

The only thing you got right on that comment is that he's not a right-wing propaganda machine.  Keef's a hater.

Yes. We are all haters of intolerance, oppression, and those that lack integrity. 8)
