what a show of fucking hypocrisyThe Defund Acorn Act is likely to be ruled unconstitutional, the Congressional Research Service says in a report obtained by the Huffington Post, responding to questions from Reps. John Conyers (D-Mich.) and Barney Frank (D-Mass.).
The Constitution forbids "bills of attainder" written to punish a specific individual or group of people. The independent research body determined that the bill intended to defund the community organizing group ACORN "would appear to meet a per se criteria for specificity."
The constitutional question, then, is whether depriving a group of public funds constitutes a "punishment."
And CRS asks, if it's not a punishment then what is it?

ACORN has never been convicted of voter fraud. There have been voter application fraud which ACORN self identified.
The real reason that some righties hate ACORN is that they recruit and register the poor and minorities who tend to vote Democratic. Unlike some middle class conservatives, they know the RNC doesn't give a rat's ass about the poor and middle class except for their vote and for some one to trickle on.

If anything, they were too soft on AIG. All of the AIG executives should have had their pay capped at $127,604. If you're taking taxpayer money, you're a civil servant and should be paid like one.

we shouldn't have bailed the company out in the first place

this is stupid....so people on welfare are civil servants? people in the military are civil servants?
I'm still stunned that so many of the partisan hacks viscerally defend corruption. The desperation.
More reason to look very closely at ACORN. This is just the beginning of the depth of their corruption, I strongly suspect.
That remark would have had some real bite to it.WRONGIf anything, they were too soft on AIG. All of the AIG executives should have had their pay capped at $127,604. If you're taking taxpayer money, you're a civil servant and should be paid like one.
