Obama Administration Promoting ACORN in India


President Obama has been helping his former employer ACORN — in India, of all places.

Churches Push Leftist Radicalism


On his TV show Glenn Beck accused President Obama of “merging” the government with churches. (transcript, no video)

The Letdown on K Street


Mild rain scared away most of the radical leftists who hoped to shut down K Street in Washington, D.C., on Monday. Who knew a little bit of precipitation could forestall the revolution!

Gold-Plated Stupidity: Media Matters’ Ludicrous Attack On Beck


Will Bunch of left-wing character assassination site Media Matters for America has penned what has to be one of the dumbest items I have ever read from the George Soros steno pool.
In a blog post titled, “Beck fans strike gold…for now,” Bunch argues that Glenn Beck is causing a speculative bubble in gold by hyping doom [...]

Why Is ACORN Lobbying HUD While HUD Investigates ACORN?


Lobbyists for ACORN’s largest and best-funded affiliate, ACORN Housing, which recently changed its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America, disclosed in a lobbying reporting form that they have been lobbying a federal agency that is reportedly probing ACORN Housing.
