Today’s topic is a discussion about ACORN, it’s history and criminal behavior.
“Liberals can understand everything but people who don’t understand them.”
Lenny Bruce – Liberal Comedian and Free Speech Pioneer
The fact that I have to write this post sickens me to my core. What I consider a racist organization, founded by a communist ex-con named Van Jones has pulled out all of the stops and enlisted the help of thousands of people to call on sponsors of Glenn Beck and Fox News to pull their advertising dollars. Sadly, this attack on free speech by “Color Of Change” is working. That’s why we all need to visit DefendGlenn.com, SupportGlennBeck.com and KeepGlennBeck.com so we can contact as many of these companies as possible. Here’s a list with links straight to their contact pages:
Ally Bank – Best Buy - Geico – CVS – ConAgra
Lawyers.com – P&G – Roche – Sanofi-Aventis
RadioShack – Men’s Warehouse – Sargento – Travelocity
Here’s one example of a message I delivered via web form, feel free to copy:
I am simply STUNNED by the fact that GEICO has let a racially motivated hate group like “Color For Change” persuade such a trusted and established company like GEICO to pull advertising from the Glenn Beck program. All that is missing from this nightmare of a scenario is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson leading a parade to celebrate their victory.
It is quite obvious to me and millions of other Americans that GEICO has done ZERO research on the accusations pointed at Glenn Beck. Instead, you have capitulated to the threats of violence or fear of racially motivated mob mentality. I pray that GEICO reconsiders its actions and stands up to Chicago-style intimidation and. Because that is what you have caved in to.
Where were these angry phone callers and e-mailers when:
- Bill Maher said “if [VP Cheney] did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.”
- Keith Olbermann said Dick Cheney is “as insane as any terrorist“
- Chris Matthews said “Sarah Palin – now don’t laugh – is writing a book. Not just reading a book, writing a book. Actually, in the word of the publisher, she’s ‘collaborating’ on a book. What an embarrassment! It’s one of these ‘I told you,’ books that jocks do.
- Olbermann also said of George W Bush: “You would not merely be guilty of siding with the terrorists. You would not merely be guilty of prioritizing the telecoms over the people… You would not merely be guilty of treason, sir… You would be personally, and eternally, responsible. We will not fear the recognition of the manipulation of our yearning for safety — we will call it what it is: terrorism.”
Oh wait… all of those comments were about white people. They were said by liberals. Therefore they don’t matter. Does anyone else reading this remember the days when Liberals fought FOR free speech? Excuse me libs, but I think it is possible to disagree with a black person while not being a racist. In other words: I despise president Obama because he is 100% liberal, NOT because he is 50% black.
Now for some organizational background.
Who is Van Jones? He is currently serving as Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (he’s Obama’s “Green” Czar). He’s from rural Tennessee, he went to Yale, he was arrested during the Rodney King riots, and he’s a communist activist. Here’s a sample of his personality:
While in jail Van Jones said that “I met all these young radical people of color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’ I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary. I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th. By August, I was a communist.”
What is Color of Change? It “exists to strengthen Black America’s political voice. Our goal is to empower our members—Black Americans and our allies—to make government more responsive to the concerns of Black Americans and to bring about positive political and social change for everyone.” Sounds like a nice, inclusive club. It reminds me a little of the Black Liberation Theology. formerly practiced by a guy named Doctor Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Color of Change is currently led by James Rucker. Before leading CoC he served as Director of Grassroots Mobilization for MoveOn.org and was instrumental in developing and executing on fund raising, technology, and campaign strategies. I wonder if he had a hand in any of the unethical fund raising techniques deployed by Team Obama. During the campaign he was “disgusted by Fox’s sustained attacks and smears on Barack Obama.” I’d like to see him list a single example. I won’t hold my breath.
So PLEASE contact these companies. It only takes a few minutes, yet means so much.
In America, anyone can become president. That’s the problem.” George Carlin
Glenn Beck is under attack. He says things that the left can’t stand, mainly because Beck speaks the truth, welcomes debate and asks for others to prove him wrong. They can’t stand his delivery, his crying and who knows what else.
I find it incredibly ironic that once upon a time liberals fought tooth and nail to support free speech. Lenny Bruce was the king of the hill on that topic back in the 60s. George Carlin too. The Supreme Court sided with Larry Flynt and protected Hustler Magazine. The left considers a crucifix submerged in urine art, but considers a crucifix in a public building offensive. I just don’t get it.
The companies listed below have dropped their sponsorships with Glenn Beck on Fox News. Why? Because liberals, those that are associated with free speech, don’t like what Glenn Beck has to say. Do they try to debate him or contest his facts? Of course not: that requires mental acuity and actual effort. Picking up the phone and screaming like an idiot at sponsors is much more their style. Sounds like community organizing to me.

I urge everyone reading this to contact these companies and voice your concern over this attack on free speech and the sponsor’s willingness to submit to thug tactics. Some day the pendulum will swing in the other direction, but for now we have to make an effort to protect what our Founding Fathers created.
Michelle Bachmann was interviewed on RFCradio’s “On The Edge” w/ThayroneX today. Her comments included some scary details about what the US Census will look like as administered by the Obama administration and ACORN. After you read this be sure to sign Michele Bachmann’s petition!
Here are some of the questions asked, according to an official explanation document of the 2010 census provided by 2010.census.gov. As you read these, try to envision how the left would act if Bush/Cheney asked for this personal information. The text following the questions is quoted directly from the document as justification for each question.
- page 26 / question 17: Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, does this person have serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions?
- page 26 / question 18: Because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition, does this person have difficulty doing errands alone such as visiting a doctor’s office or shopping?
- Information on disability is used by a number of federal agencies to distribute funds and develop programs for people with disabilities.
- page 30 / question12: IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS, did anyone in this household receive Food Stamps or a Food Stamp benefit card?
- page 35 / question 32: What time did this person usually leave home to go to work LAST WEEK?
- page 35 / question 33: How many minutes did it usually take this person to get from home to work LAST WEEK?
- Financial institutions use data about commuting patterns and occupation, to define market areas for describing lending practices and the effects of bank mergers.
- Data are used to identify patterns of discrimination in hiring among minorities and other population groups within labor markets.
- page 38 / question 9: How many automobiles, vans, and trucks of one-ton capacity or less are kept at home for use by members of this household?
- The U.S. Department of Energy uses the information to estimate and forecast energy consumption of motor vehicles and for planning and establishing program activities as part of the Alternative Fueled Vehicles Program.
- page 43 / question 7a: How many separate rooms are in this house, apartment, or mobile home?
- Data about the number of occupants per room is used to measure the extent of overcrowding among our nation’s households.
- page 43 / question 7b: How many of these rooms are bedrooms?
- page 47 / question 10: Which FUEL is used MOST for heating this house, apartment, or mobile home?
- page 55 / question 19b: How much is the regular monthly mortgage payment on THIS property?
- page 55 / question 20a: Do you or any member of this household have a second mortgage or a home equity loan on THIS property?
- page 56a: Please print the name and telephone number of the person who is filling out this form.
- page 58 / question 15: Is this person CURRENTLY covered by any of the following types of health insurance or health coverage plans?
- Planning and implementing many federal health programs requires accurate state and local information on health insurance status. Obtaining data on the uninsured rate among Americans is of great importance to policy makers at federal, state, and local levels.
- page 60 / question 21: How many times has this person been married?
- “This information is critical for more refined analyses of eligibility for program services and benefits”
- “Marriage and divorce data will be used at the national, state, and sub-state level to plan for and assess state and community activities designed to influence marital and divorce behavior.”
Do you trust the explanations for these questions? Why does the government need this information? A census is for counting people. But the Obama administration wants to use census data to redraw districts in an effort to ensure the continued welfare mindset and support of Democratic programs for as long as possible.
ACORN has already proven to be a criminal organization, yet it still the apple in Obama’s eye. We need to prevent this purely partisan group of Obama supporters from administering the census. How? Sign Michele Bachmann’s petition!
