Quick Fact: Fox & Friends still pushing Obama's "ties" to ACORN
January 04, 2010 8:23 am ET — 5 Comments

On Fox & Friends, The Wall Street Journal's John Fund exaggerated the White House's "ties" to ACORN by claiming that President Obama was a "top trainer for ACORN" and that he was "their lawyer back in the 1990s." In fact, Obama represented ACORN in one lawsuit -- alongside the Justice Department and several other organizations -- and reportedly said he participated in two one-hour trainings with ACORN as a volunteer ...

1. Is John Fund a wife beater?
I seem to recall that but I'm sorry if I got that wrong.

2. I don't follow Fund closely and so never learned the outcome of that particular story

3. He was accused of assaulting his ex mistress
He was also accused of getting his ex-mistress's daughter pregnant and then not discouraging her from getting an abortion. This link gives part of the story:

It's hard to know what actually happened the stories have changed so much, but the daughter did sue him for assault and had him arrested. He lost his job at the WSJ then. He spent most of his time attacking Clinton for having an affair. And he is supposedly anti-abortion. We know he is a liar as he continues to lie about ACORN, despite all the investigations and court victories won by them. So his denials about his relationship with those two women can probably be taken with a grain of salt. That's what happens when you lie about others.


He is not fit to wipe the shoes of the people at ACORN who actually contribute something of valto this planet.

I wish Obama had the guts to come out and say how proud he is to have been associated with an organization that has done so much good for those who 'are the least among us'. And who have done that work, despite the constant assaults from scum like John Fund, who is apparently now hooked up with that other genius, Breitbart on their boring blog.

I don't know what Obama is afraid of. ACORN has just won two law suits and is now suing the 'videographer' law breakers. What do Democrats expect to gain from dumping their friends because women abusers like John Fund go after them? Has it stopped them? No!

What would stop them is if he would stand by his friends and let them know he is not affected by them and will use the power he has to praise the work of ACORN, and Van Jones marginalizing further, people like Fund and Breitbart. I just don't get it!
