Governor Dead-Man-Walking cuts off the Shady Oak: In another blow to ACORN, Governor Paterson put a hold Friday on all state contracts with the embattled anti-poverty agency. Paterson’s budget director and director of state operations ordered agencie…

You know that Acorn has ties to the WH and you don’t like it. That’s why you are defending the indefensible.

Smell the coffee and wake up.

The guy did the right thing and ends up getting fired thanks to a political vendetta. “Citizen journalism” at its finest.

Tom,

Your argument would hold weight if, they were not successful in filming a total of five different locations doing the exact thing AND if he had reported it IMMEDIATELY. Anyone with a notion to do “the right thing” would have done so. Waiting two days doesn’t cut it. In the end his police friends might be involved in this investigation.. from the other side.

Do you find it as depressing as I do that the democrats have been completely desensitized to the level of blatant hypocrisy on display by the leftists that is rampant in their party?

How do you stay sane?

I like how Tom totally ignored my posts in his attempts to confuse the issue by claiming his family was being threatened.

And now he’s cut and run. Just like a liberal.

Are you the same Vanceone that was a harmonian internet lawyer?

So Libs, please, please, please make the lovely Miss Giles the next Ollie North.

1. She would have appeared on Letterman, SNL, Leno, Good Morning America, and the View among others
2. She would have gotten a full hour on Larry King live.
3. She would have been a presenter or featured guest at the MTV VMAs
4. She would have been on the front page of Time magazine
5. She would have guest starred as a reporter on some garbage MSM show like 30 Rock.
6. And of course, the Pulitzer. That goes without saying.

Instead, shes a conservative, and shes going to face a congressional investigation. Nice

Conyers in nothing but pond scum, a liar and a self gratifying toad. We need and investigation of Conyers.

Well Conyers should have a lot of time on his hands once his wife starts her prison sentence.

I wonder how much ACORN money and campaign support Conyers receives?

I do not recall EVER hearing of a CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION of a 20 YEAR OLD GIRL! EVER!!!

At some point, when there is a different speaker of the house, people like Conyers will find themselves running from the law.

And why is honest and innocent Charlie Rangle being so quiet?

DB is douchebag

And now he’s cut and run. Just like a liberal.

Tom’s a self-admitted DB. Don’t expect him to be honest or realistic.

Yeah, but I got nothing better to do tonight, so I’ll confuse a liberal with facts.

He called his brother. That doesn’t count.

Of course, this is all ridiculous because we’re just two DBs fighting on the Internet… I think it’s time to end this. Have a good night!

You are a boy that is evident. You talk big on a site like this. What is your address?

The right-wing blogosphere is abuzz over the article, which reported that an ACORN staff-person embezzled almost $1 million from the organization’s coffers eight years ago. (The aggregate budgets of ACORN and its affiliate organizations back then totaled about $41.5 million). ACORN immediately established new internal controls to put the organization’s financial house in order. But ACORN’s founder and chief organizer, Wade Rathke, covered up the incident in order to protect the wrongdoer, his brother Dale, who at the time was the group’s chief financial officer. Even worse, he kept his brother on the payroll until June 2, although he was long before removed from having any responsibility for the group’s finances
