1. This is in the "commentary" section, not the "news" section.

2. It reads like a hysterical list of GOP bug-a-boos; trying to associate Obama, Acorn, Enron(!), child prostitution(!!!!!!)...

I call bullshiat.

Huh? Oh, it's the Washington Times. Never mind.

1. It's the Washington Times - There is no news section.

ACORN totally smoked in my house rather than going out on the back desk like I asked them to

In other news, Rev. Sun Myung Moon used Moonie cash to buy the Washington Times and change it from a semi-serious newspaper into the right-wing nutball rag (suitable only for lining bird cages or wrapping fish) that it is today.

ACORN farted on my pillow and gave me pink-eye.

The Obama administration has showered its allies at ACORN Housing with $729,849 so far this year despite powerful, newly unveiled evidence of corruption and massive accounting irregularities at the longtime affiliate of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now).

You mean HUD. While it's technically part of the Obama administration, the article makes it sound like Obama is signing the checks by hand.


ACORN, the notorious group brought down by undercover videos showing its employees facilitating child prostitution in 2009.

One video that's heavily edited to make it seem that way.



ACORN itself is a nonprofit version of Enron


Clever. Just ambiguous enough to make it look like ACORN is literally an affiliate of Enron.



The Obama administration gave the grants to ACORN Housing based on a thinly reasoned legal opinion in which a government lawyer waxed philosophical on all the possible meanings of the word "affiliate" found in "Black's Law Dictionary."


What? No quote? We're supposed to take your word that the lawyer was "waxing philosophical"?



Whether that new taxpayer money will find its way into ACORN's political operations or voter fraud operations is an open question.



Voter registration fraud is not voter fraud.
An underpaid staffer making Mickey Mouse a registered voter to gain a bit of extra commission money will not give him the right to vote.

ACORN!! Oh joy!

ACORN conspired with George Soros and Michael Moore to leave the wax baggie in my Cap'n Crunch box open, so the cereal would get stale while I was away on vacation.

Because People in power are Stupid: Is the Washington Times the new NewsMax?

No, the Moonie Times has been this way for years. It's more accurate to say that NewsMax is the new Washington Times.

ACORN murders grammar teachers before they can educate Teabaggers.

ACORN associated community organizations for reform, a few years back.

Zombie Butler: ACORN didn't replace the toilet paper roll.

Even more insidiously, ACORN replaced the toilet paper roll IN THE WRONG DIRECTION!!!

In my case it probably comes down to a world-class university education, critical reasoning skills, accurate reality testing and not being easily manipulated by fear.

ACORN buys up the whole stock of metallic spray paint from all the hardware stores near Patrick Tribett and sells it back to him at three times the price.
 
2011-11-29 01:50:03 PM
ACORN brought back Futurama and Family Guy and then made them less funny.
 
2011-11-29 01:50:23 PM
ACORN licked all the frosting off the donuts and put them back in the box.

Loopholes. "Those people" can use them too.

What a back desk may look like.

/Hot, like this unseasonable farking weather we're having.

ACORN tells you it's going to come to your party on time, then shows up four hours late... drunk, with two coked-up sluts hanging one off each shoulder... slaps your momma, and asks her if she saved some leftovers.

what the hell-ass-balls does that even mean? I refuse to read the Moonieville Times, so I'd like context for that sentence from the article, if you don't mind.
 
2011-11-29 01:51:25 PM
ACORN dropped a deuce and didn't flush.

ACORN got that Louisiana Purchase card.

Purchase card.
 
2011-11-29 01:53:50 PM
In fact, ACORN and ACORN Housing shared the same office space across America in 2009 when James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles conducted their devastating video investigations.

Bahahahahahha!

You mean the one the lied about? Are you kidding me. The one they made accusation about an employee "helping" them that actually called the police on them. Republicans still trying to portray this not as the embarrassment that it was.
 
2011-11-29 01:54:53 PM
ACORN, when the walls fell.
 
2011-11-29 01:55:22 PM
ACORN made an incredible pie filling, put through a food processor with some sugar and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.
 
2011-11-29 01:56:30 PM
So, I read the whole thing and I still don't see how Obama is involved in this? The headline makes it seem like Obama masterminded some ridiculous scheme, but the article never mentions anything he did, instead just mentioning in passing that some un-named federal lawyer approved the funding.
