  Your links are useless because they are incomplete and take you nowhere.
  I can see that one is a blog and that proves nothing.
  google "ACORN bailout bill" and there were about 489,000 hits.??
  No joke. Now which ones points out the fact "it's that the bailout (at least at one point) was going to support (fund) ACORN." because I'm going to waste time on 489,000 hits that tell the same thing. You made the statement, so show the link from a reputable source where the bailout was going to support ACORN and not a right wing rag or blog site.

  OK, after researching and maybe finding the story you listed, I find that you did not give the whole story. Your claim was that the bailout money was earmarked for ACORN which was a Republican argument. But reading down further in the article you hear a comment from Barney Frank's spokesman.
  "In the end, how much of the bailout's potential profits are earmarked for ACORN? "None. Absolutely none. All funds would go to state and local governments," said Steven Adamske, spokesman for Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the chairman of the Financial Services Committee and a lead negotiator."
  Now I see that you chose to believe the Republican but I don't because at the time they were all playing politics with the bill. So I see nothing here that hasn't already been going on and that a vendetta of the Republican party by the Republican appointed federal attorneys to stop ACORN from getting more voter registration by harassment.
