I have to admit this raised my eyebrows..and not much gets me to do that. as already stated, no words.

side comment cause no time to make another post: yeah Stewart was piss funny. probably the funniest thing I have heard in 25 yrs. stunningly funny yet truthful in this instance.

THIS IS A POLITICAL SCANDAL.

I want to know why no one in Congress, the press, or the nation, is calling for an investigation (independent or otherwise) and hearings investigating ACORN & its administrators and if they ever knew about any legal protection/illegal cover up of ACORN employees doing similar illegal activities as recently uncovered by the two journalists who carried out the pimp/prostitute investigation?

...and I believe Obama should be called as a witness. We have to know how long this has been going on.

ALSO why did Obama & his TEAM OBAMA advisors promote and/or pay ACORN $800,000.00 during the presidential campaign, as well as coordinate with ACORN to develop and be on the list for Stimulus funds once Obama became POTUS?

I would like to know if the current POTUS, as a past representative of ACORN, ever promoted or tolerated this type of illegal behavior in his role of a legal counsel for ACORN?

I would like to know if Mr. Obama in his role as the POTUS, or any other member of the USA federal government, has known of this illegal ACORN activity while coordinating with ACORN for the Stimulus Bill as well as other federal govt programs & legislation?

why arent these questions being asked? If this had been Bush or Cheney working for a company, say like Haliburton, who was caught in illegal activity, or even allegations from whistle-blowers, EVERYONE KNOWS that hearings & and an independent prosecutor would have been called for by now. Look at the treatment of Alberto Gonzalez & Libby.

It is astonishing that this is NOT getting more scrutiny in regards to the Executive Branch's association with ACORN, either now or when the POTUS was working for them in a admin/legal counsel capacity, as well as the rest of the federal govt's association with this corrupt organization.

if there was EVER a case for the implementation of RICO, this is it.

Prosecutorial & investigative dragnets were ideally created for a national criminal scandal such as this.

just sayin...you have a national organization who has now been caught in a patttern of rampant illegal activity throughout the country. And this organization was once administrated and legally counseled by the current POTUS and no one wants to know what he knew, and when he knew it?

very strange & very scary.

Some great questions lu-ee.

Please don't hold your breath waiting for the answers.

Hell, some of us would be happy just seeing Obama's school transcripts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey LIPSHITS - John Stewart got your tounge???

"LIPSHITS" bwaaaAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! i know exactly who you mean. yeah he's been quite on this whopper of a scandal.

i would too if my presidential pick had ties to an organization that accepts & abets international kiddie prostitution in poor USA urban areas. we should call it "sex, truth, and videotapes"

hahahahahaha

this is the democrats version of the Harding administration fiasco. where is Biden when you need him to say something stupid about this whole thing. Where is that pin-cushion of a VP?

sad. we get the leaders we deserve has never been more true. ACORN & Obama and all the nasty baggage both of them bring, are a wonderful fit for liberals. Both of these groups promote, thru toleration, of all of this immoral & illegal activities to begin with and now they find they are in bed with them and imploding.

oh f'n well...

hey lu-ee -- is Obama in any of those videos? Is Obama President of ACORN? Where is this a political scandal for anybody but you?

I'm with CY on this...I'm speechless. Where the hell does ACORN get these degenerates? I also don't care. ACORN is your obsession, not mine.

They clean up their act, they get their funding back. It's going to be that simple.

Now...if we can only find out all of those Blackwater employees who paid a dollar (that's $1.00) to repeatedly rape children ages 8 to 10 while overseas in Iraq. Think the pimp and his whore posing as journalists can help out with that or should the DoJ just continue to investigate it like they have been?

>>"I'm with CY on this...I'm speechless."

No, you are only "speechless" because you don't give a rats ass about the story except to the extent it hurts the Democtrats.

>>"if we can only find out all of those Blackwater employees blah blah blah"

Textbook troll, try to change the topic away from the one that makes you look bad. You care about Iraqi kids being raped no more than you do about the ACORN story.

People like you (and I use "people" in the loosest possible sense) make me embarrassed to be a member of the human race.

Please Steve, give examples, credible verifiable examples as to where this hurts Democrats.

The division of ACORN is the housing division so none of the activists or affiliations of activist organizations are bothered by this nuisance. Federal funding only makes up 2% of ACORN's total revenue stream so it's not like they're going bankrupt anytime soon. Heck, I just donated $50 to ACORN to do my part in helping this 40 year old institution to continue it's proven track record of doing outstanding community service. I'm pretty positive I'm not the only one. $50 to help them rebound from this modern day racial McCarthyism and the irresponsible but not illegal behavior of a handful of stupid employees. I mean, it's not like they actually did anything illegal like Mark Foley or the Evangelical Church in Florida distributing child pornography that Miss Giles' father and his church in Miami were affiliated with. Nothing that bad now is it? I think not.

ACORN's housing division will rebound with much more strict guidelines on proper, ethical conduct and they will subsequently get back their 2% revenue stream from the federal government which probably is less than the amount of donations they're receiving now. The pimp and his whore posing as journalists managed to get a handful of people fired which is a good thing and probably pissed off every single minority in this country. I wouldn't be the first in line to want to walk down the street alone with either one of these two missing rocket scientists.

You can obsess over this for a while in some sort of massive victory over getting a handful of people fired. Proud of ya! But damage control is already in play and the clean up has already begun and well...health care reform is the priority of the Left right now. Not some shallow and empty victory of racial McCarthyism from a insignificant minority who can only attack a activist organization because they lack the power and the might to attack anything bigger. WHO HOO!!!

And Steve, if you're that embarrassed to be part of the human race, please by all means...drop out.

Now here is some massive corruption that ACORN needs to be thoroughly investigated for ASAP:

Please Steve, give examples, credible verifiable examples as to where this hurts Democrats.

One of Barack Obama's first big "community organizer" jobs involved ACORN in 1992. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN in 2008 for voter registration efforts.
And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama last year.
