Nevada’s evil Republican Secretary of State files criminal complaints against ACORN.

Ross Miller, Nevada’s evil Republican Secretary of State, has filed 39 criminal complaints against ACORN. What’s that? He’s a Democrat? Well, that’s pretty damn inconvenient.

In Clark County alone, ACORN registered 91,000 people but 50% of them couldn’t be verified. The typical percentage of unverifiable voter registrations is just 2%.

Miller appeared on Glenn Beck’s show and said, “We’re just trying to send a strong message that we won’t tolerate these kinds of fraudulent practices in the future.”

“When we executed the raid on the ACORN headquarters here in Las Vegas we came across thousands of pages of documents, emails,” Miller continued. “Within those documents we found their company policy directive that outlined for their employees the fact that they were required to meet certain quotas and that these employees were expected to turn in 20 registration forms per day. Otherwise they’d be terminated.”

“We think that the case is very strong,” Miller added. “It’s a very thorough investigation that we’ve had almost a year now in place showing that they were compensating their individual canvassers based on the total number of people registered which is a felony in this state. We’ve filed 39 counts. I think they’re going to have a difficult case to make to the twelve jurors who will ultimately hear this.”

There’s an old saying that a man should be judged by the company he keeps. Our President keeps the company of ACORN.

‘Nuff said.

Only in Washington does an organization get funded on Thursday after being indicted for 39 felonies on Monday

On Monday Nevada filed 39 felony criminal complaints against ACORN. On Thursday the House of Representatives voted to allow ACORN to receive federal funding under the “Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act.”

The vote to make ACORN eligible for funding was 245-176. All Democrats on the side, all Republicans plus four honest Democrats on the other.

“There is no excuse this outrage. The only explanation for voting to give money to this racket is that House Democrats are deep in the pocket of ACORN,” said a statement from GetLiberty.org.

As a result of the House vote, ACORN is eligible for more than $3 billion in “stimulus” money plus another $5.5 billion from the 2010 budget. The organization has already received at least $53 million from American taxpayers since 1994.

ACORN has also been investigated for voter fraud in state after state – including Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Missouri, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Michigan.

39 felony counts? What’s the big deal? Who among us hasn’t been charged with 39 felony counts at one time or another?

Obama’s double whammy: Won’t protect borders, won’t pay to jail illegal immigrants

First the Democrats refuse to do anything to stop illegal aliens from flooding across the border. Now President Obama wants to kill a program that helps reimburse the states for jailing illegal aliens.

Don’t get us wrong. The funds were only to be used for jailing them for committing crimes other than crossing the border illegally.

The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAPP) provides states with assistance to offset the costs of jailing illegal immigrants.

When he was in the senate, President Obama voted to give extra funding to SCAPP. Yet now Obama has decided to eliminate the same program he once voted for.

Obama says that killing SCAPP will save $400 million per year. In reality, it only transfers that burden to the states.

Obama may run into opposition in his own party on this one. Powerful California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein strongly backs SCAPP. She is supported by elected officials from other states with illegal aliens problems.

Obama expects to overcome this minor inconvenience as soon as ACORN can register the 12 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States.

Fraud! Corruption! Racism! Glenn Beck boots Acorn spokesman from his studio

Wednesday’s show proved why Glenn Beck’s ratings are going through the roof. First he cornered a smarmy ACORN spokesman. Then he booted him from the studio during a commercial break.

Here’s how the Washington Examiner reported it:

ACORN National Spokesman Scott Levenson was ejected from a Fox News studio Wednesday following an off-camera altercation with host Glenn Beck that involved racially charged comments, as they were described by Beck.

“I threw him out of the studio, get the hell out of my studio,” Beck told viewers he said after Levenson accused him of being “afraid of black people.”

Beck told listeners after the break that Levenson was expelled from the studio after he accused the host of being racist. Levenson appeared on the “Glenn Beck” show to respond to criminal charges filed against ACORN employees in Nevada on Monday. The non-profit organization, formally known as the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now, is under investigation nationwide for voter fraud in at least 12 different states.

In his exchange with Beck, the ACORN spokesman insisted that individual employees were responsible for the violations but not the national organization. Beck was not persuaded by this defense and persisted in his questioning.

There seems to be a theme today here at IHateTheMedia.com. And that theme is, “If there’s no liberal media bias, why is Fox News the only network that exposes this kind of stuff?”

Scott Levenson looks like a fraud from the first moment on camera, which makes him the perfect spokesman for ACORN.

NY Times buries story that could have buried Obama

The New York Times is making headlines for ignoring news that could have damaged Barack Obama, who as you may have noticed, is a Democrat.

According to the Bulletin, “A lawyer involved with legal action against Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) told a House Judiciary subcommittee on March 19 The New York Times had killed a story in October that would have shown a close link between ACORN, Project Vote and the Obama campaign because it would have been a ‘a game changer.’”

An informant had been providing inside information to The Unofficial Democratic Mouthpiece about ACORN’s election activities and several stories had been written. The articles abruptly stopped when it was revealed that the Obama presidential campaign had sent its maxed-out donor list to ACORN’s Washington, D.C. office as a way to “reach out to the maxed-out donors and solicit donations from them for Get Out the Vote efforts to be run by ACORN.”

In what may have been a rare moment of candor, The Times reporter actually told the informant that editors wanted to kill the story because “it was a game changer.”’

Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) said the footsie-playing between Obama and ACORN could be a violation of federal election law.

The Times’ Senior Vice President for Corporate Communications, Catherine Mathis, stated in an email, “political considerations played no role in our decisions about how to cover this story or any other story about President Obama.”

Take that for what it’s worth. After all, it comes from the New York Times.

ACORN takes “working families” on magical misery tour

A few dozen protesters showed up over the weekend at the homes of AIG executives to demonstrate their outrage and class envy. All that was missing from the mob were pitchforks and torches.

“The politicians who are creating this distraction from their own role also voted for the very legislation that enabled contracted bonuses to be paid by companies like AIG that received government bailout money,” Columnist Tom Sowell observed. “If members of Congress can’t be bothered to read the laws they pass, then they have no basis for whipping up lynch mob outrage.”

The Connecticut chapter of a “progressive” activist group called Working Families Party organized the tour of mansions and invited the gaggle of compliant reporters.

Working Families (which seems to consist only of non-working people) describes itself “a coalition of labor and community groups”. Ah yes, good ol’ community organizers like ACORN out promoting “social justice.” But don’t worry about the death threats. As the WFP press release states, “For the most part, those who got off the bus and approached the homes of the executives kept their anger in check.”

Just once we’d like to see protesters (followed by a herd of reporters) parading in front of the homes of those actually responsible for this mess. Like Democratic Congress-tools Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

Obama names Republican to head Commerce, then takes away his responsibilities

acornHispanic and black groups didn’t like the idea of Republican Judd Gregg being named Commerce Secretary and having responsibility for the census. No, no, no. Didn’t like it at all.

So President Obama compliantly stripped census responsibilities away from Gregg and said the Director of the Census would now report directly to the White House. Republicans know that when Obama said “White House,” he really means Rahm Emanual, long-time Democratic political operative and nastiest man in Washington, DC.

The census is important politically because it is used to re-apportion congressional districts and to dole out federal funding. So it probably won’t be long before ACORN volunteers are hired to handle the census as efficiently as they already handle voter registration.

Consider it corruption you can believe in.
