Even if you ignore the silly Jesus stuff in the beginning of this video, it’s obvious that the ridiculous ACORN witch hunt is not about illegal activity, it’s about ideology. There are government contractors with FAR more egregious records of fraud (Northrop Grumman, etc.) and other illegal activity including murder (Blackwater) that are not receiving the same scrutiny.

In fact, Sean Hannity dismissed Blackwater’s actions because they are, in his words, “keeping us safe.” (Don’t get me started on that little bit of wingnut fantasy.)

As I’ve posted before, if Acorn was in the business of KILLING brown people instead of HELPING them this would not be an issue.

Oh, and the Defund ACORN Act IS a “bill of attainder” and, as such, is unconstitutional. But Fox won’t tell you that. In fact, the only way it could be constitutional is if it is applied equally to “any organization that has been charged with breaking federal or state election laws, lobbying disclosure laws, campaign finance laws or filing fraudulent paperwork with any federal or state agency [, or applied to] any of the employees, contractors or other folks affiliated with a group charged with any of those things.”

“In other words, the bill could plausibly defund the entire military-industrial complex.”
