And that's the thing - ACOR...Exactly, Fembots. And that's the thing - ACORN has long billed itself as a NON-PARTISAN organization, which was how it was able to millions and millions in federal funds. It clearly is partisan, though, so should not be ABLE to get those funds anyway. <br /><br />And yes, she is definitely ratcheting up the fear mongering. Whether one agrees with the Tea Partiers or not, they have a right to speak out against what they see is government waste, size, and taxes. It's their Constitutional right. I don't see how someone can speak positively of one group exercising their rights, and glorifying Democrats when they clearly do not appreciate democracy in action! GO figure, huh?<br /><br />The other thing is the complete unwillingness for Bertha, or ANYONE associated with ACORN, to acknowledge that their loss of funding was directly linked to their mismanagement of the agency, the law breaking, the encouragement of others to break the law, and on and on. Nope - it's everyone else's fault for CATCHING them at it. That's some logical leap, there...<br /><br />Thanks for the comment!Rabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-14070512780621889942010-04-23T18:51:28.087-04:002010-04-23T18:51:28.087-04:00Once a nonprofit entity encourages a poltically af...Once a nonprofit entity encourages a poltically affiliated group like young Socialist Democrats, I have a huge huge problem with them receiving ANY and ALL federal funds. That would be akin to giving federal money to The Tea partiers, which I'm also against.<br /><br />Thank God someone caught Bertha showing her true affiliation colors. She wasn't talking from her personal viewpoint, rather as the leader of an organization. And to stir up such FEAR in these people saying that a greater form of racism, McCarthyism and any other ism she happens to think of is just deplorable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
