The Johanns Amendment is #2355 to H.R. 3288.Johanns cited the BigGovernment.com sting videos as evidence that ACORN cannot be trusted with government money:
“Until a full investigation is launched into ACORN, no taxpayer money should be used to fund its activities. A vote in favor of my amendment is a vote in favor of the taxpayer and a vote against the status quo.”
4:00 pm PDT: Ah, here we go… ABC**
The 83-7 vote would deny housing and community grant funding to ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.The action came as the group is suffering from bad publicity after a duo of conservative activists posing as a prostitute and her pimp released hidden-camera videos in which ACORN employees in Baltimore gave advice on house-buying and how to account on tax forms for the woman’s income. Two other videos, aired frequently on media outlets such as the Fox News Channel, depict similar situations in ACORN offices in Brooklyn and Washington, D.C.
Good lord, the All Barack Channel has to soft peddle this as much as possible. **ABC is just carrying the Associated Press story. Like they don’t have an agenda, eh?

UPDATED Roll Call is up –
Seven in favor of prostitution/child sex slaves and voter fraud:
Nay:
Burris (D-IL)
Casey (D-PA)
Durbin (D-IL)
Gillibrand (D-NY)
Leahy (D-VT)
Sanders (I-VT)
Whitehouse (D-RI)

via Hot Air (h/t Pablo) — calls for congressional hearings and IRS audits
“If you see that it’s endemic, that it’s at least three cities will help support and organize and provide for lending to homes of prostitution for underage girls that come from foreign countries that are likely illegal, how many drugs are being dealt out of houses facilitated by ACORN?” [Rep. Steve King, R-IA] told FOX News on Monday.“What would they not do?” he asked of the ACORN workers. “Where would they reach a moral revulsion?”
King called on Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, to hold investigations into ACORN, the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, which also has been accused of widespread voter fraud during the 2008 presidential election. King also asked for a full “financial forensic analysis” into the group on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service.
**********************
happyfeet points to an jaw-dropping bit from NPR
It’s also important to keep in mind that ACORN’s workers are coming from the same low-income neighborhoods the organization serves, with all that entails — poor schools, high crime and the sorts of social problems that have been documented for decades.So the flaws conservatives are pointing out about ACORN are not so much problems associated with that organization per se but more about the problems of being poor and minority in urban America.
What has being “low-come” have to do with knowing right from wrong? Is NPR saying that low-income black people are incapable of not participating in prostitution/child sex slaves and voter fraud?
Wow. Who are the real racists here?
Comment by SBP on 9/14 @ 4:47 pm #
The result is up on the Senate page. The roll call isn’t there yet, but should be there shortly.
Burris, Casey, Durbin, Gillibrand, Leahy, Sanders, and Whitehouse were the ones who voted to continue funding child sex slavery.

Conversely, the tolls are more than tacitly promoting the notion of the voter-taxpayer funding criminal acts via federal policy. There’s so many layers of wrong there it’s hard to separate them.
Meanwhile the MSM just proved itself, in one fell swoop, fraudulent. Immaterial. Outdated, dishonest, and obsolete.
So where, in all of this, can ACORN be defended on point and principle? Trolls? Were this BushCo, the mighty hew and cry of Truff Ta Powah would be going on…a decade after the fact fiction.
Wouldn’t it, trolls? So go on. Defend ACORN. Defend illegality. Defend the Administration paying for same under the auspices of justly representing your aims. They are your aims, right?

RD, I just deleted six paragraphs of reasoned refutation of your post.
Then I thought better of it. We criticize The Won – so we are by default racist. After that – why do you even take the time to pitter patter the keys? What do you seek to accomplish?
If we are indeed the gap toothed inbred racist sons/daughters of the brainless God bothering Ma and Pa Kettles we are painted in the press…
… then what the fuck is the profit to you in engaging us?
I give the Loony Left two props, and a defense: A true believer, like Obama, Ayers, Wright, Dorn, Davis… they believe in what they have studied, and they have studied all their lives. They embrace the evil because they are convinced that evil is a valid path to greater good.
The useful fools can be defended by pointing at the last fifty years of public education combined with the resultant degradation of our society. They were raised to be critical without being informed. They were raised were consequence was as far removed from action as possible.
I will not go quietly into one more run at “sharing the wealth” aimed squarely at “… and to each, according to his needs”.
Where’s the racism? I just don’t like commies. Watching Obama being led around by his handlers, floating amongst this sad and gormless political class we have shat out after so many years amongst the lotuses, are an insult to the office he occupies. People – they can stand or fall on the content of their character. I heard that somewhere before.
Ideologues get called on their crap. It’s called freedom. And it is what is at stake.

The US government shouldn’t be funding croups that defraud elections and game the system in general…
Remember, by mau-mauing the banks, using provisdions in CRA as backup, ACORN is in part responsible for the incredible amount of sub-prime paper that was written for people who couldn’t afford it, and as such are also culpable in the current economic downturn…
Thanks for that ACORN, I never thought my tax dollars would be used to directly ruin the economy…

That’s fairly obvious… news isn’t a priority on Faux News, it’s far more important to make all black community organizers look corrupt and associate them with Democrats. That is job #1 tonight on Faux News.
No. The truth is that leftists are so racist that they look at blacks as a protected class of mascots rather than fellow human beings with the same capacity for moral reasoning and subject to the same standards of conduct as everyone else.

Hmm… I don’t think they actually need outside help doing that, do they? I mean, it’s nice of Fox to pitch in, but I’m pretty sure they already have that one covered.

Yep. Though ya gotta admit, it’s crazy weird that a person with william yelverton the guitar teacher’s political predilections would be angry when his hero is the Presidebt of the United States and his political soul mates Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are the Speaker of the House and Majority Leader of the Senate, respectively, and his party of party-downs holds large majorities in both houses.

I’m trying to figure out why open-minded william yelverton is arguing in favor of giving the public less information with which to form opinions.
I’ll add that the “uneducated black community organizers taken by white college kids” meme is rather disgusting and condescending. Those women in the Baltimore video may not have been to Ivy League State, and may have engaged in morally repugnant behavior, but they were plenty clever and knew more rudimentary tax law than 95% of college graduates. They could also probably hustle william yelverton out of his acoustic guitars in short order.
The more you see the NPR reporter people and Laurie Essigs of the world, the more I think that lots of white liberals never actually get to know black people but for those occasions when they condescend to them.

Minorities don’t count to progressives, Alec. Sure, they’ll minimize them as poor, stupid and helpless when something like this comes to light. But even though these “poor, stupid and helpless” people compose a massive percentage of the Democrat vote they feel perfectly comfortable coming here when stuff like this isn’t in the news to tell us how Republicans are poor, stupid and brainwashed by Faux news. Get it? Blacks and hispanics don’t really count. They’re not real people. They’re mascots. They’re votes. They’re useful for far left-wingers to wind up and point towards useful outrages.

WilliBoi:
The racial makeup of the county was 85.73% White, 9.51% Black or African American, 0.29% Native American, 1.90% Asian, 0.04% Pacific Islander, 1.32% from other races, and 1.20% from two or more races. 2.78% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.
Caricature:

Ok Snowcone, I’d like you to provide any links you have for recent episodes of the behavior you are alleging that the Catholic church condones…
Because I admit that was a problem 5 to 10 years ago. But that was addressed internally and in the courts where appliable…
Prove it, you smarmy dirtbag, you pusillanimous palavering popinjay!
Acorn is currently involved in connivance and criminal behavior on an institutional level. In contrast, molesting altar servers were individual offenses that were admittedly smoothed over on an institutional level-where possible.
So your Tu Quoque argument falls on it’s absurd face unless you have recent examples of what you allege…

Comment by Bob Reed on 9/14 @ 11:32 pm #
Snocone, from your link:
“A prominent Irish priest has called on the Catholic Church to halt recruitment of new priests until they properly address Ireland’s clerical child abuse controversy.
In May, Ireland’s Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse published its shocking Ryan report, which revealed that thousands of Irish children had suffered extreme physical and sexual abuse over decades in institutions run by the religious orders.”
You are truly a moron, aren’t you. In your zeal to google up some reply to my intellectual challenge, you have linked to an article about the Catholic chirch in Ireland…
We’re talking about money from the US budget being given out in America, to American organizations…

White Organization? Are you at all familiar with the demographics of the Catholic Church? The incidents in the Catholic Church are much more analogous to all the incidents of pedophilia in public schools, but then even a moron like yourself wouldn’t throw the publics schools out there to make a cheap rhetorical argument. Instead you’re trying to compare an organization which teaches 2.7 million kids in its schools, runs 225 colleges and universities and operates 625 hospitals – mostly in blue states btw – with a nakedly partisan organization of street activists whose transgressions were directly in the process of carrying out their most basic functions.

The left are the ones that have reduced black folks, en masse, to useful idiots with which you can bludgeon any opponent. Using people as tools constitutes a kind of ideological slavery…
So you all are the real racists…

If they can find one black guy amoung 10,000 whites at a teaparty, they’ll hold ‘em to the world so as to say, “We’re not racist” hahahaha!!

For decades you have used “racism” as a club to beat others into submission. As the years have worn on you have swung it ever more forcefully, mercilessly pounding racism over and over.

What I thought was interesting about the few signs that Chuckie jazzboy put up is that one of them had Bush on it too, one referenced China and made no sense to me and a bunch had a hammer and sickle as well. Why no outrage over the commie symbolism? After all, it isn’t quite like when leftists carried innumerable Bushhitler signs where they were saying he was the really bad part of National SOCIALISM, the evil genocidal murderer part. These all seemed like dopey, overwrought expressions of concern/protest over the authoritarian, cult of personality and statist aspects which trouble many about Obama. They are examples of idiocy in a massive crowd seem less pointed than what I saw so much of from the left.

so, with that done, how’s about you make with the issue at hand: ACORN and its problems.
No?
okay then.

The funny thing about that is, they allowed the homos into the seminaries at the urging of people like william yelverton, Ph.D., who at that time accused the Church of not being inclusive and being too judgmental and such. They crossed their fingers and promised to be good, while people like william yelverton, Ph.D. chided the Church for suggesting that the homos ought not be trusted with the keys to the altar boy locker room.
Now, people like william yelverton, Ph.D. get to run through the j’accuse routine for trusting in their advice. Funny thing is, there are remarkable similarities between the william yelverton, Ph.D.s of the world and the original Aramaic meaning of Ha-Satan as “the accuser,” one who tempts to sin, and then stands as the accuser of the sinner.
Having said this, and seen what william yelverton, Ph.D. has posted in this thread, you might be surprised to learn that he is not at all averse to receiving rousing standing ovations after performing in Roman Catholic Churches:

How many of those times has the DNC permitted him to seat delegates? Has he ever cornered more than a fraction of a percent of votes? Is he any more of a Democrat than David Duke is a Republican? Or Pat Buchanan?
Larouche’s last four runs at the Presidency could not have seated him any delegates because he was ineligible to vote, being a convicted felon and all. The DNC refused to seat any delegates for him on those four occasions.
So: you still think he’s a Democrat?

Comment by Pablo on 9/15 @ 9:45 am #
Is the FEC authoritative?
Comment by McGehee on 9/15 @ 9:59 am #
Pat Buchanan used to run for office as a Republican, including for president in 1996 — he even got some delegates as I recall.
Later, he quit the GOP and managed a one-time takeover of Perot’s Reform Party. IIRC his running mate that year was avowed Communist Lenora Fulani. The Reform Party nominated Ralph Nader for president in a subsequent year.
I think we can safely say that Buchanan was never sincerely a Republican even though he did seat delegates in an attempt to win the presidency. If he claims now to have returned to the fold I don’t buy it. His only consistent principle all along, especially in his electoral forays has been to promote Patrick J. Buchanan.
Now, Lyndon LaRouche undoubtedly also seeks only to promote Lyndon LaRouche. And as Slart points out he has never managed to seat a single delegate in all his presidential attempts.
But he has also never switched parties in any of his campaigns. He has run as a Democrat every time.
He’s a Democrat.

I’m not saying the DNC won’t back nutballs, mind you. I can see them backing Dennis Kucinich, on the off-chance that he’d be able to garner enough delegates, and he’s nuttier than squirrel shit. But there is a certain ideological overlap between Kucinich and the DNC.

I don’t see the problem, here. You can’t be a member of a club that won’t have you, unless you’re a gender or racial exclusion and sue. Even then: see what that’ll get you.
Dunno. It looks as if he wasn’t eligible in 2004; he certainly wasn’t in 1992, 1996 and 2000.
In what respect? All the FEC link you gave shows is that he’s taking donations. Larouche is/was ineligible under DNC rules, not FEC rules. DNC rules require that a candidate must be a registered voter, and Larouche had lost his franchise.
He can’t be the DNC’s nominee without being a registered voter.
Comment by Slartibartfast on 9/15 @ 10:32 am #

Which doesn’t appear to be a problem when he’s a registered member of said club. You’re talking about a club that won’t put you in charge.

Uh, no.

Which doesn’t appear to be a problem when he’s a registered member of said club.
Taking the parallel even further, then, he belongs to a club that anyone can belong to, just by filling out membership. Ok, then. Being a Democrat, by your logic, means that all you have to do is say you are. Just like me being King of the Britons.
Check your map again, Pablo. Larouche is a resident of one of those states that’s colored consistently with “permanent disenfranchisement’. Virginia.
I’m confused, Pablo. You’re claiming that it’s the FEC that decides whether Larouche can run as a Democrat?

I don’t recall saying that. But according to their records, he is a member of the Democrat Party. Do they have it wrong?

I’ve seen a clip with James, maybe from Hannity, where it’s suggested that there are 7.

There is absolutely no question about that, Slart. That is a stone fact.

“It has been very well played.”
Thinking on it a bit and I shudder to have to say it but it has been spelled out for us in print, such that it can’t be easily swept under the rug: props to Saul Alinsky, the master of the shitstir.

Thanks Spies.
Hmmm. Since I send our daughter to private school can I get that portion of my property taxes rebated? Guess not, huh?

I don’t know what you guys are talking about, but what I was making was that those pictures weren’t representative of any mainstream group, Republican or otherwise.

I’d like to know how many offices Giles and O’Keefe visited.
Although, I’m sure they’re going to hold that back in a final salvo.
It strikes me that ACORN has already had their foot stuffed down their throat a couple of times.
I suspect the last gasp by ACORN will be a “Well, it was only a few of our offices and we’re moving to investigate and correct the problem.”
At which point, O’Keefe and Giles will document they had something like a %50 success rate.

Let me see, you’ve got a guy who’s dressed as the 2009 version of Huggy Bear and a gal who’s amazingly hot, posing as pimp and prostitute.
Yes. If nothing else, they should be disallowed from receiving federal funds on mental competency grounds.
Not the most convoluted nuts in the can of Planter’s, these ACORN folks.

“Help me out here, where, exactly, is the slant?”
To the left.

It takes a special kind of wonderful for Slarti, Pablo, and I to agree on something. Hannah Giles is exactly that.

So long as you guys aren’t fiddling with a malfunctioning indicator light anymore, I for one am glad to see your agreements on teh hawts.

Fox has the raw video up. Almost an hour. Wow.
Cuckoo!

Video of Hannah Giles is invariably a good thing.

Especially as she walks away.

Getting back to the original point: It ain’t gonna make a whole lot of difference that the Senate votes to de-fund criminal enterprise ACORN since ACORN is now officially known as COI.
