Drano   September 16th, 2009 - 8:48 pm

They need to do some of this with Repub organizations too and get ALL the political s c u m out of office. We have never been so poorly served by our paid civil servants as we are now who thumb their noses at we who pay their salaries. Corruption is rampant in both parties.

Plan to vote in 2010 and take out the garbage.

notinmycountry   September 16th, 2009 - 8:49 pm

outta my way! that black guy from GA, yeah the congressman, he said that the white folks are putting on their white hats and sheets and heading this way. gotta go and get an appointment with michael jacksons skin doctor.

lol 312 Views. That was like Charlie Sheen’s contest video last night was at 301 for 20 hours. I guarantee you 1000’s of people have watched this. Over and over.

Trent   September 16th, 2009 - 10:05 pm

dontflagmebro – youtube’s counter is rather liberal for the first 300 views and then a different algorithm kicks in that is slower to respond but more accurate.

Trent   September 16th, 2009 - 10:16 pm

He had to rush off to a meeting with Obama and Kamau Kambon and the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP and the Black Panthers and the CEO of BET and Jet about how all the Whites are racists – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMOkDOXAovQ

He said he supports child sex. Why is he in office ? People who voted for him shame shame shame on you.

TRANSPARENCY   September 16th, 2009 - 10:47 pm

Apparently the Obama team has gotten the term transparency confused with opaque. As in, team obama is as transparent as a 9 foot thick concrete wall.

Yo Mama   September 16th, 2009 - 10:49 pm

Time to vote this bozo out! What a foolish man – voting to support this horrible organization that has no business receiving any kind of government funding.

ACORN has got to go. Investigate them according to RICO and shut them down!

Walt   September 16th, 2009 - 10:54 pm

What a gutless prick

flyover country   September 16th, 2009 - 11:27 pm

No chance to vote him out of office. He isn’t running for a full term in 2010.

Maybe we could check his campaign finance disclosure forms for the last 10 or so years and see how much ACORN gave him.

Where do I find information on which politicians are corruptible so my international drug + female slavery business can get representation in Congress? Should my partners and I start at this ‘ACORN’ service to get connected? Does ACORN’s politicians need broken white women for house cleaning and sexual slavery? We have pure drugs too that are very cheap.

Thanks,

Walk/Run for Cover   September 17th, 2009 - 1:07 am

Burris is not running in 2010. This crook doesn’t have a chance.

Larse   September 17th, 2009 - 3:59 am

If you really want to have an s* load of fun, find David Vitter and ask him how he feels about this Acorn prostitute thing!!!!!!

Vitter, a Louisiana Republican now in the Senate, acknowledged Monday that his number was on the woman’s call list and apologized for a “very serious sin.”

HAhhaahhahahahahahaa!

HUH?   September 17th, 2009 - 4:46 am

Why are you guys calling Griff Jenkins “JESSE” and “FORREST”?

COMMENTMAN   September 17th, 2009 - 5:54 am

WOW !!! HE GOT THE MOVES … WE ALL KNOW THE “PERP WALK”. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN NUMEROUS CRIMINALS, DO THE “PERP WALK” WITH VARIOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS WITH HANDS ON, IN CONTROL. WELL, WATCHING BURRIS MAKE HIS MOVES WAS AWESOME. I WAS IN MY MIND RE-VISITING THE MANY TIMES A POLITICIAN WAS DOING HIS BEST TO REMOVE HIMSELF FROM A MIC AND CAMERA. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A NAME FOR IT. IN THIS CASE “THE BURRIS BOOGIE”, MAKES SENSE TO ME.

Emudude   September 17th, 2009 - 7:30 am

Larse,
The American People are concerned with Progressives on BOTH sides of the fence. Bush was a Fiscal Socialist and most of us hated him for that as well. We need to kick out all Corrupt Government Officials both Republican and Democrat. As far as I am concerned John McCain has proven time and time again that he is a Democrat in Republican Clothing. Stop making this about Republicans hating Democrats. It is about both Republicans and Democrats vs the American People. We need to instill Constitutionalists into the Government during the next 2 elections. (If we have them.)

Charlie   September 17th, 2009 - 7:43 am

Jesse rocks.

Susan   September 17th, 2009 - 7:48 am

I’m from Chicago and believe me we’ve seen the walk/run in combination with the looks of disbelief for many many years. Usually when they are caught with their hands in the cookie jar they throw the race card, so Burris should be coming out with that next.

Almost every Democrat politician from Chicago, Cook (Crook) County and Illinois are lying, thieving narcissists who believe they are above the law.

Nepotism with million dollar contracts for construction, law firms, and made up jobs are the norm here.

Our politicians make the mob look like pikers.

david   September 17th, 2009 - 8:20 am

I think it is time for obama to step down, his own race is proving that blacks can not stick together

Eden   September 17th, 2009 - 9:00 am

do a search for Burris’ headstone he has erected in his personal mausoleum, he calls himself “Trailblazer” hahahahaha this is him in action blazing a trail. So full of himself, his kids are named Roland and Rolanda.

he was not elected, Blago appointed him, his seat is the subject of Blagoevich’s indictment, and he will not run because he has $1.92 in his campaign fund.

I worked in his office, he is as dumb as a box of rocks. Love seeing him on camera looking the fool he is in real life.

Susan   September 17th, 2009 - 9:11 am

One more thing, listen to Burris talk, he sounds just like Winnie the Pooh. One of the talk radio shows has a skit that he calls “Roland or Winnie?” He plays snippets of one or the other and callers have to guess who’s speaking. It is hysterical.

Pants   September 17th, 2009 - 9:21 am

Good lord STOP with the birth certificate posts and links. Obama has more than enough baggage to ruin his own damn self without birthers screwing us.

Mats   September 17th, 2009 - 9:21 am

heheh

Run, progressive, run from americans!

Jacksonian Lawyer   September 17th, 2009 - 9:40 am

What a coward and, in typical statist form, Burris ignores the query and attacks the messenger (as well as all who dare to question his vote to support ACORN).

I’ve posted an article on Sen. Burris, his past, the fact that he is NOT an elected official (and has scarcely been able to win an election throughout his career), the fact he was “appointed” by a disgraced, impeached governor – not voted into office by the people of IL, and the connection he has to convicted (statutory) child rapists. No wonder Burris has no problem with supporting the “cause” of child-smuggling and child prostitution.

If you are so inclined, see/read more here:

Thank you for your efforts Mr. Breitbart!

American Dude   September 17th, 2009 - 11:04 am

Let’s just get the people in office out, that’s all. Our mission
is clear! 2010!!!!!!!
Oh, and that includes Mr. McCain

KZnextzone   September 17th, 2009 - 11:18 am

Trouble is Nobody voted for this clown. He was the highest bidder for Obama’s old senate seat. Why he didn’t vote “present” is beyond me. In fact only 194,000 voted for Pelosi. We the people have no representation….

Griff Jenkins Fan   September 17th, 2009 - 11:25 am

That’s Griff Jenkins doing the attempted interview. The guy is fabulous. YouTube his name for many interviews he has done and his body of work.

Mike   September 17th, 2009 - 11:26 am

No surprise.Hes one of the most corrupt out there.He and Durbin-IL Dem are puppets pushing their agenda for the left.I emailed them several times here and especially here lately after the acorn videos with no response.What disgusts me the most is these maggots have daughters and yet they sell out America,endorse illegal immigrant prostitution.We have too many politicians who have no morals,souls,or any other interest but themselves.Tell the people what they wanna hear during the campaign,but once they get into office it’s me,me,me.

Finally get corrupt Blago out and put the exact same guy back in.This is often why people don’t vote.The selection is normally between cesspool and a steaming pile of excrement.Why bother when most if not all of the candidates sell you out and bend you over?

Instead of fighting unfair politicians why not get on board for your piece of the take – Acorn.

Commieobamie   September 17th, 2009 - 11:31 am

OH yea, now I’m hearing things. It must be the flu? I heard him say “I support kiddie porn and child prositution”, didn’t I?

John   September 17th, 2009 - 11:34 am

Let the rats run all they want. We will find them hiding in the dark and shine the light on them.
Vote 2010!

Another great leader of the free world. Can anyone spell “chicago thugs”?

western will   September 17th, 2009 - 11:54 am

Burris is a black man in the white progressive institution. As such, he is voting as instructed by the master, allowing him to be permitted to live in the master’s house, polish his boots and get the leftovers when the dinner table is cleared. This is the modern definition of a race-free relationship, and furthermore, supports the intrinsic values of slavery, person-as-property, people-in-their-place, firm class definition, and low class volatility (the last of which is most important to the progressive elite).

Had he been an independent, conservative oriented black man who questioned ACORN and challenged its expansion of the progressive class structure, he would have disrupted the control over the undesirable masses and increased the potential for class volatility. The elites absolutely would not want this, given that a liberated slave may question why the master’s life is so much greater, why the lower-class slave suffers from crime and violence in spite of being given trinkets stolen by the elites from the middle class, and why the middle-class slave sees 4/5 their production stolen from them for the primary benefit of the elites, but with a fraction thrown to the lower-class to buy off their support. This very challenging of the elite hegemony would be RACIST as it re-defines and threatens the elite.

Racism hasn’t been about the underclass other of non-white skin color for decades. Racism was re-appropriated in the 1970s and defined as all that which Otherizes the elite social order. Seriously, employ that definition and the progressive world suddenly makes sense.

2centsworth   September 17th, 2009 - 11:58 am

Poor guy, He and the other six that voted against withholding funds obviously didn’t get the memo from Nancy which read…”Play dumb, roll up in a ball and cover your head, surround yourself with your posse, and for goodness sake, don’t ever admit to actually reading a bill”!

western will   September 17th, 2009 - 12:12 pm

To clarify my previous comment, think of racism this way:

Racism: Any activity which has the potential to disrupt the established progressive hierarchical social order.

The past 40+ years of progressive racial activity has resulted in a stable hierarchy as a consequence of the negotiation between community activists (e.g. descendents of MLKing’s movement e.g. Jesse Jackson) and the progressive establishment which almost exclusively operates the major cities, state and national social institutions. As uncomfortable as it may be, the Left was the order of the Klan, the segregationalist south and represented an elite order that had formerly advocated more virulent forms of otherization, including forced sterilization, abortion and eugenics programs. The progressives reached an agreement with the otherized community organizers: they would empower their elites as the official spokespersons (greatly enriching and empowering them), they would curtail their eradication programs targeting the other, and they would re-appropriate wealth from the middle class, retain the majority of it, but give a remainder to the otherized groups. It’s important to note this practice wasn’t limited to blacks or skin-color-derived minorities. This contract was also established with the GLBT community, the political radicals, the feminist community and others.

It became a win/win/lose/lose: Progressive elites gained power and eliminated volatility that threatened their hegemonic control. Otherized group leaders gained token power and wealth. The Middle class was further disparaged and subordinated. The Otherized community’s non-elites were relegated to a permanent state of “comfortable marginalization.”

And through this contract, racism was redefined (as was sexism and all other forms used to diminish the other) to that which jeopardized the order all the elites had agreed to. Protect the order, retain the progressives in power, retain Jesse Jackson and the other token minority leaders in their limited power and wealth, and permit nothing to threaten that state. When you’ve got the power and wealth, would you want to share it? It’s not surprising the “mainstream media” embraced this contract as well, as it has fed them access to information and made it such that an otherwise unqualified individual incapable of a viable profession elsewhere could excel through J-school and earn a comfortable living. Welcome to the Progressive Pact.

Memento Mori   September 17th, 2009 - 12:36 pm

Too bad he didn’t offer Roland a wad of twenties (off camera, of course) – he would have had an exclusive, not to mention a delicious gaffe in which to broadcast.

JollyTrooper   September 17th, 2009 - 12:46 pm

Turn the lights on and the roaches scatter for cover.

Why is this guy a Senator, anyway?

Blagojevich? The guy who’s main witness against him had an aspirin “overdose”?

Seriously…you people in Washington are all on your way out. Democrats especially, but the Republicans too. Save for maybe 56 of them to refound the frakking country.

Rick   September 17th, 2009 - 12:53 pm

Why did he run? – just give a simple answer dude. The camera guy caught a bad apple in an organization that does a lot of good work.

I don’t know if it’s true or not – but that’s all he has to say.

Talk2ThePaw   September 17th, 2009 - 12:58 pm

Burris does not have to fear the next election. He is owned by and serves those that control his district. A district where voters will do as they are told by those who pay them to be lazy, criminals and/or government dependent slaves. Unfortunately, ACORN will still be in control via one of the hundreds of sub organizations they control. They will still be in control of registering Mickey and his friends in the local cemetaries and transporting these cartoon characters and the dead to the polls to vote for Burris and other favored Dem candidates. As videos proved in the last election the bribe of cigarettes, alcohol and $$ will assure Burris re-election. The only politicians that have to fear are those who represent districts where the voters are not 90% or more welfare oriented.

rasqual   September 17th, 2009 - 1:02 pm

Unfair — going after Burris is like shooting fish in a bucket, and doesn’t show any great courage or have much value beyond entertainment.

Those of us in Illinois would say: CITIZEN JOURNALISTS, PLEASE GO AFTER DURBIN!

ProfessorMS   September 17th, 2009 - 1:14 pm

What a coward. A “representative” of the people.. pshaw!

BTW He’s not going to be up for “re”-election beause nobody ever elected him to the Senate in the first place! He bought it.

Bunny   September 17th, 2009 - 1:57 pm

Burris is an old burn out.He is just sucking up tax dollars. We will remove a bunch of these guys that are not for the people. Get rid of these old birds, they should have enough of our tax dollars to retire on. Get someone in there that cares. He is a full blown coward.

Peg C.   September 17th, 2009 - 3:02 pm

Sunlight the best disinfectant. I don’t think there’s disinfectant strong enough for Burris and his pals, though.

Sodie   September 17th, 2009 - 3:38 pm

And for my next impression… Jessie Owens!

KrlyQ   September 17th, 2009 - 3:55 pm

What a total scumbag. But what do you expect, especially from an Illinois senator? These politicians have run around unopposed in their actions for so long that they think they don’t have to answer to anyone. We need to keep up the pressure to remind them that they do!

Jim T   September 17th, 2009 - 4:00 pm

SIMPLE SOLUTION—–IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!

Russ   September 17th, 2009 - 4:03 pm

The straight-Republican ticket will be the hot item in at least the next two election cycles as Americans try to slam the brakes on the ‘change’ they are getting (as opposed to what they dreamily wished for).

Mike G   September 17th, 2009 - 5:09 pm

Burris may be a weasel (wait, no “may be” about it) but I can’t entirely blame him for not answering a pretty obvious setup. The guy asking the questions should have done it more subtly to make him try to explain what exactly is worthwhile about ACORN.

(In case anyone reads this as defending him, know that I’ve already sent scathing letters to both my Illinois senators about their ACORN votes.)

Andrew G   September 17th, 2009 - 5:20 pm

Wow. I think the Democrats are in serious trouble.

Larse   September 17th, 2009 - 8:16 pm

I would say that everyone here has it wrong and that he ate some bad chicken and he was headed for the john but that would be racist so I can’t say that.

John C. Randolph   September 17th, 2009 - 8:25 pm

Follow the money. I’m sure ACORN paid well for that vote.

-jcr

Marroco   September 17th, 2009 - 10:27 pm

ACORN does have some redeeming qualities. The organization has been around for 25- 30 years. Every administration has funded it. A few bad acorns don’t spoil the whole bunch. Burris was right to support it if he wants to. You guys give ACORN too much credit. Barack Obama won 53 percent of the vote. Mostly White folks.
If ACORN were not in the picture, he would still win.
Find another point to pick on. You are beating a dead horse.

Barney   September 18th, 2009 - 12:39 pm
