You notice they didn't say if this was the last or only other video....bet there are more.
 
It seems that Acorn gets caught every month, not only are they liars, thieves and tax cheats but they are only getting dumber, this is todays Democratic party.

As we all know Acorn is Obama and Obama is Acorn.

This is already getting a lot of attention from reps/senators, calling for congressional investigation into ACORN and a full audit of their operation and funds. a part 3 or part 4 would show a pattern of behavior or practice that simply cannot be ignored.

What difference does it make if this is "gotcha" journalism?
Click to expand...

Because it's being painted as an ACORN wide problem and it isn't. Just a couple of low level employees who did something stupid and they got canned for it.
Click to expand...

lol, okay. Keep telling people that in an attempt to make everybody feel better about our tax money helping to fund ACORN. What a croc.

 
I would love to be able to be outraged at whatever it is ACORN may have done....but the wingnuts have cried wolf waay too many times.

It just seems like another fabricated/pointless faux outrage drill.

 
They (ACORN) need to be disbanded, prosecuted where possible, and all federal funding revoked/cancelled. The voter fraud in Florida is probably a very small tip of a huge iceberg, as are these videos.

Did the swiftboaters get 50 million in funding from taxpayers with a potential for billions more?

Also...Link to Kerry's lawsuit against them for slander / libel? please.

Your analogy doesn't wash.

Show me a group that gets millions in federal govt funding and is accused left and right of fraud and other criminal activities.

show me that and I will rail against them as well.

Some members of congress are now requesting a review of the agency and their affiliation with HUD.
 
I saw it on the news last summer when House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers said there would be no investigation of Acorn since "The powers that be decided against it"
That was about the time his wife , Monica Conyers, Detroit City Council president pro tem pleaded guilty to bribery and conspiracy. He may have been a bit pre-occupied..

How many red flags do we need before a full blown audit and investigation is done?

Oh, and John Conyers was born in 1929, his wife Monica in 1964. Maybe he is just worn out...
 
LOL - Now ACORN is accusing Fox New of being racist...

The larger pattern of Fox's irresponsible actions here is the real news. From Glenn Beck calling President Obama a racist, to Fox inciting racism and threats of violence with the Teaparties, to Fox unleashing a hit job on ACORN the day after an inspiring Presidential healthcare speech before Congress, Fox has long since abandoned any journalistic pretense. It is clear and not coincidence that FOX continues to attack and divide our nation along racial lines. We believe our country is beyond this type of attack and call on all Americans to demand that FOX stop its racist coverage.

Hell, most of the time they don't even need to be backed into a corner to pull that card.

As to the OP, this doesn't surprise me and I'm glad the census "cut ties" to that group.

you wont see me shedding a tear if they get fined/jailed/shutdown/whatever for whatever crimes the wingnuts are accusing them of.

Ifthey get their 8 billion taken away that would be great too!

So lets see where congress goes with it.

It wouldnt be the first time a business got busted for doing something wrong.

This recent scam, which was attempted in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia to name a few places, had failed for months before the results we've all recently seen. I am appalled and angry; I cannot and I will not defend the actions of the workers depicted in the video, who have since been terminated. But it is clear that the videos are doctored, edited, and in no way the result of the fabricated story being portrayed by conservative activist "filmmaker" O'Keefe and his partner in crime. And, in fact, a crime it was - our lawyers believe a felony - and we will be taking legal action against Fox and their co-conspirators.

One would think that if they had it attempted at all these offices they would have made sure their workers understood what to do if it occurred. I am appalled and angry too, that they got so much taxpayer money and that it took this long to come to light. She must not have seen the same video that I saw as I didn't see any editing to make anyone say anything. The only felony I saw was the one being committed by the workers.

Yes, in the same way if a single Republican has a whacked view on something it represents the entire party.

Right shira?

I said no such thing, in the words of Joe Wilson "You Lie"

You should also be admonished.
