Fighting the tactics of the left

During his media blitz Barack Obama said the media is "rude" and he didn't want to provide any "catnip" by commenting on issues like ACORN, which isn't a big issue according to the President. A group eligible for over $8 billion in taxpayer money giving advice on tax evasion, prostitution, and running a brothel for underage illegal immigrants from El Salvador isn't an important story? Glenn talks with David Horowitz about Obama's tactics and how to combat them. Ref. Source 3

The treasury department will be investigating ACORN now. This should turn out to be interesting, however ACORN is actually suing for $7,000,000.00 for the undercover filming.

We cannot have individuals doing independent investigations, can we? The were exposed as the corrupt organization that they always have been, so the obvious thing to do is sue the people who exposed them.

Just watch to see which organizations support the investigators, and who jumps on the bandwagon to destroy them.

Who will fix ACORN?

Oh, you'll feel at ease when you see the distinguished advisory board at ACORN who will sink their claws into the corrupted organization and clean it up. People like Andy Stern from the SEIU -- they'll fix it! Glenn runs down the list of board members and in the process gives hope to the next aspiring journalist looking to uncover corruption at ACORN. Maybe the next video can feature an Escort instead of a hooker? Ref. Source 2

ACORN Defunding Spurs Proposals to Bar Federal Money to Companies Convicted of Felonies

As the embattled community group ACORN continues to come under fire, a group of lawmakers that voted against a recent measure to defund it have introduced legislation of their own. The Against Corporations Organizing to Rip-off the Nation Act of 2009 would prohibit federal funding to corporations guilty of felony convictions. We speak to independent journalist Jeremy Scahill.

Alleging Unconstitutional Targeting, ACORN Sues US Gov't Over Defunding Vote

The anti-poverty group ACORN has filed a lawsuit against the US government that accuses Congress of punitively targeting the organization. In September, the Senate and the House voted on legislation to strip ACORN of federal funding following the release of a video in which employees of ACORN were secretly recorded giving tax advice to two conservative activists dressed up as a pimp and a prostitute. ACORN has long been a target of right-wing scorn for its work helping poor people fight foreclosures, fix tax problems, and register to vote. We speak with Bill Quigley, legal director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, who filed the lawsuit on ACORN's behalf. Ref. Source 7

Obama's ACORN lie exposed

All along, President Obama has maintained that he has nothing to do with ACORN. ACORN, you may remember, is the group that registers Mickey Mouse to vote, a zillion times over. They also seem a little too willing to help out pimps and prostitutes looking to traffic underage El Salvadorian girls. It's quite an amazing lie, but the media still yawns. Glenn plays the audio and reacts on today's radio program. Ref. Source 5
