Of course he did

From Newsmax: "Activist Jesse Jackson Sr. criticized Congress’s yanking of ACORN funding during an interview with Newsmax.TV’s Kathleen Walter." Of course he criticized ACORN's defunding. He's the same ol' Jesse Jackson we know and love.

"No,” Jackson responded. “There should be an evaluation, and we should make a distinction between what’s gone wrong with what, in fact, has gone right. ACORN has helped a lot of poor people. If there are some people who have made errors, then eliminate them, as ACORN is trying to do. Look within the church. Sometimes, priests have gone astray. Don’t crush the church,” Jackson said.

Help me, I'm drawing a blank. Which churches receive federal funding? He goes on with a typically incoherent "defense" of Obamacare.

Because the private sector’s interests are conceivably narrow,” Jackson said. “Government has reforms for all of its people. The government all, for, and by the people must protect its people . . . Government is, in fact, a stabilizing force and a provider of last resort."

Yes, but Obama and other liberals want to make the federal government the provider of first resort for health care. Also I should point out that I like private institutions with narrow interests—they each focus on one thing and they do it well. But like a reverse Midas touch, the government turns everything with which it comes in contact into crap.
