Just the first 2 minutes... after that, Bill is just trying to pick a fight where none really exists.
Anyone left who'd like to keep defending ACORN?
Edit: One classic line from the last minute though. Frank, to O'Reilly:
"I don't understand why you have this congenital inability to let people talk."

Barney Frank was ripping ACORN?
Well anything that Barney Frank would criticize must be something that represents good old fashioned family values.
As for ACORN, they said they don't need government money, and I believe them. The leftists funds pouring into this organization is all they need. Nothing will change other than photo ops to lash out at this obviously corrupt enterprise. In fact, it would't surprise me if Barney gives them money under the table.

But the corrupt activities does warrent the stopping of tax funds and that is what is happening. i do think that they can clean their act up an become a viable aid to those who need it.
