Quote baileysmommy: I wonder how disagreeing with someone and posting an alternative opinion can be considered a bad post? Did I "bash" anyone? Call names? No...just staed my own opinion, and provided a news program interview with the head of ACORN to substaniate my viewpoint and opinion. How is that against guidelines? How does that make for a bad post? Hmmmmm.............

So here we have this same thread again. I posted at least 20 links in the closed thread showing that it was the Bush administration that funded Acorn with YOUR tax dollars. So one more time and then I give up. If people can actually believe that Obama is the key to Acorn and that ALL this started on January 20th then they are really fooling only themselves. In fact Congress sent Bush word that he needed to quit funding this questionable organization 3 years ago but he kept on sending the $$$$ to them. AND McCain was VERY close personal friends and business partners with Acorn before Obama ever heard of them. McCain spoke at their meetings as key note speaker bragging that they "where what makes America great". NOW whats up with that??? McCain took MANY MANY vacations with the heads of Acorn. They flew company jets to the Bahama's regularly. If was quite a photo of McCain and these guys laid up on the beach with their umbrellas, shorts and little umbrella drinks also. Now is what the right wing is saying is that "McCains best Bahama partying buds and their Bush funded play ground only turned dirty the day Obama took office????? Come on now people. How could anyone by that??? Truth is that no one gave a rats behind about Acorn till they latched onto it to fuel their pathetic witch hunt against Obama. It is apalling that Obama is being blamed for years of this ridiculous bs. If really cast doubt on anything that the Conservative Obama haters say. Anyone interested just google "Bush" and the word "Acorn", "Bush" and the words "Acorn funding", "McCain" and the "Acorn speeches", McCain and the "Acorn vacations". There is even a LIVE video clip of McCain making the above statement about how great they were so no way can it be disputed as being false. I guess in some minds the world was all rainbows and lollypops till January 20th.

Are you sure this was ACORN? I would really love to see the McCain photos and possible key note speech. I haven't heard about this before...would love to read more if you have a link.
Oh, BTW beware there is some random poster bad posting almost everything in this thread!!

I am not on either side but I have been reading this thread. Very interesting points made on both sides.

I googled John McCain and Acorn found this picture pretty easily.

Well I think that wishywashy posters should just not come into a thread if they find the posts offensive. I mean that is what I do. Saves a lot of time and trouble for all.

But PLEASE do remember that the congress was DEM CONTROLLED at the time you reference under President Bush. Bush didn't appropriate money and no one is saying Obama is giving money either-Congress is responsible for funding this organization- Acorn has deep deep ties to the democratic party-I don't think they had President Bush's support.

Key findings

Number of times Beck's and Hannity's programs, combined, referenced ACORN, Abramoff, Blackwater, and Halliburton/KBR from May 8, 2006, to September 18, 2009 (NOTE: For the purposes of this study, a "reference" is defined as the specified topic having been mentioned by either a host or a guest on the program being studied.):

* ACORN: 1,502

* Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and former Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH): 62

* Blackwater/Xe: 4

* Halliburton/KBR: 43

Conclusions:

* Beck's and Hannity's programs were approximately 35 times more likely to reference ACORN than any of the military contractors.

* Beck's and Hannity's programs were approximately 24 times more likely to reference ACORN than either Abramoff or Ney.

something to think about
