Fox news' various ranting heads threw themselves into the 'war on ACORN' this year. But they're being uncharacteristically quiet on the issue of late. Could this be because:
ACORN has been absolved of any wrongdoing with respect to its use of federal funds. And there’s more: ACORN sued Congress in federal court to get its funding back, and last week U.S. District Court Judge Nina Gershon ruled in favor of ACORN and “ordered government officials to reinstate Acorn's federal contracts. ‘That Acorn was singled out is obvious and undisputed by the government,’ Judge Gershon wrote. The Justice Department has appealed the ruling.” The issue raised in federal court was “the Constitution's prohibition of bills of attainder, which punish a specific person or group without due process or other rights that courts provide.”
Come on Beck/O'Reilly/Hannity. Ain't so hard to say sorry.
An apology to ACORN from POTUS wouldn't exactly be amiss either. Maybe a New Year's resolution to stop doing the dirty work of the GOP and pandering to misinformed bigots would be cool too?
