ACORN gets no Federal money?

1stCavRVN11B sent me this link to a leftist blog written by Wade Rathke, founder and chief organizer of ACORN until last year. The most amazing quote from the blog post, and perhaps the most prescient, is this one;

Of course it is a well settled question that has been elaborately documented that ACORN gets no federal money, but hey from the crowd talking about death panels all the time, we can’t expect accuracy, can we?

Oh, yeah? Then why did the Senate decide yesterday to cut off Federal money from ACORN? (Fox News link);

The Senate voted Monday to block the Housing and Urban Development Department from giving grants to ACORN, a community organization under fire in several voter-registration fraud cases.

The 83-7 vote would deny housing and community grant funding to ACORN, which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

Why would the Senate move to block ACORN from getting Federal grants, if ACORN doesn’t get “federal money”?

Apparently, the answer to “the settled question” isn’t quite so settled.

Thanks to 1stCavRVN11B and Sporkmaster.
