Free speech? 'Kick the sh-- out of every last' worker: ACORN crackdown needed

Free speech? 'Kick the sh-- out of every last' worker: ACORN crackdown needed:

"It cites the ACORN history of such activities: 'Former Chicago ACORN leader Madeline Talbott is a master of the bank shakedown. She bragged about 'dragging banks kicking and screaming' into questionable loans. Talbott thought highly of Barack Obama's organizing work in the Windy City and invited him to lecture her staffers. She also led a mob attack on the Chicago City Council during a 'living wage' debate. ACORN demonstrators 'pushed over the metal detector and table used to screen visitors, backed police against the doors to the council chamber, and blocked late-arriving aldermen and city staff from entering the session.''

'Then-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich had a taste of ACORN's stormtrooper tactics in 1995, when about 500 ACORN activists took over the Washington Hilton, forcing Gingrich to cancel a speech to 2,500 county commissioners. Demonstrators chanting 'Nuke Newt!' grabbed the microphone and commandeered the head table, then cheered when the speech was cancelled.

''ACORN is part of the enforcement wing and the intimidation wing of the left,' Gingrich said in an interview.'"
