Video: ACORN doubles down on a 13
posted at 12:15 pm on September 14, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Give ACORN credit for having more testicles than brains, after the third episode of Big Government’s exposure of their office practices in protecting tax evasion and pimps. They’re now threatening to sue Fox News, James O’Keefe, and Hannah Giles for publishing allegedly doctored tapes to make ACORN look guilty, including an allegation that O’Keefe looped his lines afterward to make ACORN look guilty. Not only do the very specific responses from the ACORN workers make that argument ridiculous, ACORN’s own response does too:
John Fund says, “Bring it on”:
If this was looped, why would the ACORN workers have said this?
ACORN 4: You want to make sure you distance yourself from that. Straight up. And the other thing is — okay, I know this is no disrespect to you, sweetheart. OK? … If you buy the home, you have no knowledge of what’s goin’ on in that home. He’s just [garbled] the landlord. …
ACORN 4: All someone needs to do is get wind that you got a house and that your girlfriend is over there running a house of the women in the night. You will not have a career [in politics]. You will be smeared and tarnished for life to come.
Obviously, O’Keefe told them about the pimping and the prostitution. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have responded with these kind of specifics.
Of course, ACORN knows this — which is why they fired the four women from the first two incidents. That will make it pretty hard for ACORN to sue anyone, since the first question asked will be, “Why did you fire these women if the tape was faked?” As John Fund also points out, a lawsuit will allow for both sides to demand internal documents for discovery purposes, and right now it looks like ACORN has a lot more to lose in that transaction than O’Keefe.
Why did ACORN even make this empty threat? They need a new line for their defenders on the Left, but this is so threadbare that it won’t survive today’s exposure. Will there be more down the line? I wouldn’t bet against it.

Reminds me of one of those idiots who gets fired for cursing out the boss and goes out the door screaming “you’ll hear from my lawyer” on their way to the unemployment office.
matt126 on September 14, 2009 at 12:56 PM
Come on guys. If we stop ACORN’s funding then they’ll be forced to turn to prostitution to survive. Now wouldn’t THAT be ironic?
Sharke on September 14, 2009 at 12:56 PM
Yes, discovery would make all of ACORN tremble, but can you imagine the volume of paper shredding already going on across the country?
joedoe on September 14, 2009 at 12:57 PM
You’re correct. Apologies.
a capella on September 14, 2009 at 12:58 PM
ahahahahahahha.
patriette on September 14, 2009 at 12:58 PM
They will probably pull together and cleverly change their name to The “New” ACORN. It would then take the Main Stream Media years to find them, if that happens.
joedoe on September 14, 2009 at 12:59 PM
For O’Keefe to have known to have asked those questions… somebody at ACORN must have come forward to tell him that such things are common in the organization.
You would hope that more honest ACORN workers (ignoramuses who bought the brochure hype) would come out and tell their tales.
mankai on September 14, 2009 at 12:59 PM
By the looks of the ACORN ladies in the clips I’m thinking that they will starve.
farright on September 14, 2009 at 12:59 PM
July 1, 2009 – Michigan Democrat John Conyers who heads up the House Judiciary Committee had agreed several months ago to hold a hearing on the corrupt practices of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now).
Just a few days ago, he reversed himself and told reporters that the “powers that be” had asked him to drop the hearing.
fourdeucer on September 14, 2009 at 1:00 PM
“Internal documents”? Are you kidding? This is ACORN. Otherwise, ACORN counts on corrupt judges, corrupt media and corrupt DAs. Like the maniac community organizers in the Duke Rape case. In their minds, the world is being remade to their image as we speak.
rrpjr on September 14, 2009 at 1:00 PM
Looking at the ACORN workers portrayed in the vids… they ain’t gonna make a whole lot of money.

I hope and pray that’s how it turns out. That would be so incredibly humiliating to all those pseudo-intellectuals in the MSM.
Daggett on September 14, 2009 at 1:02 PM
These crazy people can get a group and stomp in a bank or city meeting and make threats and noise and get attention and often get their way. There is no one to physically attack and harrass here. Fox is not an actual party. Kanye also can’t get people in trouble for stunts he did on camera.
seven on September 14, 2009 at 1:02 PM
I know, I know… I paused as I typed… but I believe Michelle found one… and this country is filled with mush-brained kids who buy the Utopian hype… perhaps there are a few of those with a conscience… I know “with a conscience” at ACORN is also comical.
mankai on September 14, 2009 at 1:03 PM
I especially liked the first video shown where the one is giving the tax advice and finding an acceptable code for prostitute and she briefly leaves the room and her sidekick looks at the fake hooker and says, “trust me she’s good.” That had be lmao

Well, fat-bottomed girls make the world go ’round.
At least, that’s what I’ve heard.
BobMbx on September 14, 2009 at 1:04 PM
So when Obama was working with ACORN, did he or Michelle facilitate sex slavery of little girls?
Jeff from WI on September 14, 2009 at 1:05 PM
Another floater that needs to be flushed.
Vashta.Nerada on September 14, 2009 at 1:05 PM
My source says they actually were going in to ask for assistance in buying a house. (it is kinda common knowledge that ACORN is/was involved in assisting people of getting mortgage’s they can’t afford). My understanding, from my source, is the other stuff (outside of asking for assistance in helping to buy a home for a prostitute) was offered up by ACORN. For example, they weren’t looking for info on how to cheat the IRS.
ramrants on September 14, 2009 at 1:06 PM
Of course not! Although they did help a few “performing artists” get some kids some work.
mankai on September 14, 2009 at 1:06 PM
Not so sure. Have you seen what passes for ‘hot’ in the ghetto?
Sharke on September 14, 2009 at 1:06 PM
The great thing about Alinski’s radicals getting power is that they can no longer operate their scams in the shadows. The light of truth has been shown on the cockroaches and they are scurrying for cover. And this threat to sue is just another example of their reliance on Alinski’s rule 11 for radicals.
Rule 11. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it.
Well guess what you leftist scum?
HOMEY DON’T PLAY DAT!
Alinski was basically an anarchist and never thought any further that stirring the pot with established governance. He was simply a sour puss malcontent who hated on societal rules for the sake of it.
So the radicals have the power and their tripping over their dicks trying to figure out how to wield it. Ochimpy is the perfect example. A sour puss malcontent that was only motivated by his dislike of whitey. Especially his grandma.
csdeven on September 14, 2009 at 1:06 PM
Hmmm…Killing babies, sex slavery of little girls…aren’t the Democrats WONDERFUL people.
Jeff from WI on September 14, 2009 at 1:06 PM
lol that jumped off the page at me and gave me a good laugh as well
If we don’t take back power in DC in the next couple of years and the liberals remain in power, I am going to go into the euphemism creation industry. It will be a high growth industry for sure!
Joe Caps on September 14, 2009 at 1:07 PM
I wouldn’t doubt that!
Jeff from WI on September 14, 2009 at 1:07 PM
No – they are a dem operation. Barney Frank already pushed through an amendment to keep the money flowing to them if they were under indictment, and Holder will not allow prosecution.
Vashta.Nerada on September 14, 2009 at 1:07 PM
All of the ACORN people fired were Democrats
faraway on September 14, 2009 at 1:07 PM
If I remember correctly, wasn’t the Conyers threat to investigate ACORN simply a play of leverage to get his wife a better sentence? Once that happened, no more investigation?
JamesLee on September 14, 2009 at 1:07 PM

OT: just checking to see if MSNBC is covering ACORN, but, alas, they are covering the “racists” “flying Confederate flags” in SC.

What about some noisy Tea Party protests outside of ACORN offices? Take a leaf out of their playbook.
Sharke on September 14, 2009 at 1:09 PM
I echo MJK on this one: how stupid is Obama? Didn’t get that J. Wright was a wack-job, didn’t realize ACORNhole was run by, and filled with, filthy, corrupt crooks, didn’t know anything about the Tea Parties or the march on Washington?
Betcha he didn’t know anything about Rezko and Blago either.
Remember how the left called Bush stupid and out of touch?
mr.blacksheep on September 14, 2009 at 1:10 PM
I would pay a lot of money to get one of the members of the press corps to ask that to Gibbs.

If ACORN sues O’Keefe, these women need to sue ACORN for wrongful termination.

O’Keefe, and Hannah Giles are doing the work the congress (and State AG’s) refuse to do.
Power to the (young) People!

Hey, back off. They do it for the children.
29Victor on September 14, 2009 at 1:16 PM
They are a bunch of loser idiots and always have been. They’re busted now.
Identity politics for ACORN has reached the end of the line. They were able to stay under the radar for this long because anyone who questioned them was called a racist.
Really, really stupid people. Like protruding-occipital brow-stupid.
keebs on September 14, 2009 at 1:16 PM
there is….a house…in New Orleans….(probably one of the first to get restored after Katrina too)
Fighton03 on September 14, 2009 at 1:17 PM
Actually if the Dems in Congress refuse to investigate, it will come up in re elections.
seven on September 14, 2009 at 1:20 PM
Yes, Ms. Giles said that herself on Beck, I believe.
mr.blacksheep on September 14, 2009 at 1:22 PM
I can only think that like Tea Parties and Town Halls, citizens will be inspired by the work of James O’Keefe, and Hannah Giles to do some old-fashioned investigative journalism for themselves. More videos of this nature are sure to come.
Mutnodjmet on September 14, 2009 at 1:23 PM
And, hopefully, this would be good enough. When asked for accountability of funds, they will have no ppwk. A good enough reason to rescind funding to me.

If ACORN helps people with taxes, can there be a reason that some 50% of America pays no taxes, considering the demographics?
uknowmorethanme on September 14, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Dammit, after reading my comment, I am obviously a racist.
uknowmorethanme on September 14, 2009 at 1:29 PM
If you ask me (which you haven’t) I’d say ACORN is in the entertainment business too. Helping Women of the Night perform for moola.

This is why i am now convinced that the only way
to clean up the corruption in the democrat party and washington dc
is to March on Washington and take our government back by FORCE.
The fact that ACORN which is TIED directly to
the democrats and obama is so corrupt that even after
being CAUGHT Red handed on Video,they will SUE the
American patriots who EXPOSED their corruption
rather than fulfill their constitutional Duty to clean up the
law breakers and jail the corrupt liberals
shows how corrupt the democrats have become.
The democrats are no longer americans
the liberals,democrats and obama are now so vile
that even the mafia is jealous and wants in on the action.
We need to take our government back by all means necessary.
we must take all of the congress and house of representatives
outside and put them on trial,and immidiatly deport them all.
Democrats, the ACLU, Obama, and liberals are now not only corrupt
but now they are protecting criminals who are openly
ripping off the us citizens and laughing about it.
And if you as a citizen try to report it
the aclu , democrats and obama wont go after the criminals
No they will come after YOU..

Yes, but if you are a Democrat and running a “house of the men in the night,” then your political career will take off and you will become one of the most powerful men in Congress. :-)
JeffinSac on September 14, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Oh and by the way I mean BOTH parties
For the republicans also were in on tjhe corruption
I watched as ceos of major companies
Got paid hundreds of millions of dollars
which they then paid off the republicans in congress
to NOT pass any meaningful laws that would have
protected us citizens
this means republicans also are corrupt and must
be thrown out of office and deported.
None of them not one that i can find is now worthy
of the office of which they hold..
When i see republicans being paid hundreds of thousands of
dollars to stop laws meant to protect us citizens
this means to me that all politicians are corrupt and must be removed from office immidiatly.
We cannot wait 4 years, for our country will be a nazi state in less than 2 years..
Especially with obama and pelozi running things..
They all DISGUST ME..
veteranoutrage on September 14, 2009 at 1:54 PM
This ACORN story, also from Breitbart’s Big Government blog, is a must read! Some snippets:
While working undercover with the FBI at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota, I helped to uncover a bomb plot. Two men had made firebombs with a homemade napalm mixture of gasoline and oil. Their initial targets were Republican delegates. These bomb-makers (domestic terrorists) later decided to attack a staging area for the Secret Service and other law-enforcement agencies. Fortunately, they were stopped and arrested…
What does any of this have to do with ACORN? I wondered the same thing on January 31st of 2009 when I was reading an ACORN blog that is run by Wade Rathke (the man who claims credit for founding ACORN). He devoted an entire page to my work with the FBI. How did he describe the FBI’s effort and success in preventing innocent Americans, local police and federal agents from being burned, maimed and/or possibly killed by firebombs? He wrote that it’s “one thing to disagree, but it’s a whole different thing to rat on folks.” That is what ACORN’s founder had to say about my role in stopping a bomb plot.
Be sure to read Wade Rathke’s blog post and go to Wiki for more on Lisa Fithian.

An aside, I am sure there was some talk about the legal issues before Fox News ever aired the video. I bet they even have folks on stand by, to respond to what they probably predicted ACORN would do next.

This kind of project actually is routine in some classes. They call it “action research.” HOWEVER, as with all things in the academic culture, only certain types of targets are acceptable, namely, the same ones ACORN targets. Organizations which at least claim to serve the left wing agenda are safely off limits.
jwolf on September 14, 2009 at 2:23 PM

The democrats are no longer americans
The liberals, democrats and obama are now so vile
that even the mafia is jealous and wants in on their action.
We need to take our government back by all means necessary.
we must take all of the congress and house of representatives outside and put them on trial, and immidiatly deport them all.
Democrats, the ACLU, Obama, and liberals are now not only
corrupt, but now they are protecting criminals who are openly ripping off the us citizens and laughing about it.
But even far worse is the fact that if you as a citizen
try to report it (the criminal activity)
the aclu , democrats and obama wont go after the criminals
No they will come after YOU.. to JAIL YOU..
Now the republicans also are not innocent either.
For the republicans also were in on the corruption
I watched as ceos of major companies
Got paid hundreds of millions of dollars
which they then paid off the republicans in congress
to NOT pass any meaningful laws that would have
protected us citizens.
I then watched as these same ceos ran the companies
into the ground then jumped out with their multi million
dollar parachutes.
This is not only immoral it is called THEFT.
These ceos should all be in JAIL right now.
But instead the CEOS just paid a BRIBE to the republican senators and they got a get out of jail free card..
How many millions of americans had their savings wiped out
while these greedy thieves paid off the republicans and walked right out the door with suitcases stuffed full of cash.
It is WRONG..
It is called FRAUD..
It is called THEFT.
But the democrats are far worse for now that the companies
are on their knees the democrats are passing laws to bankrupt the rest of the american companies, so the democrats can then steal the carcases of the american companies for a penny.
Then through legistlation force all americans to become union members
who all just happen to vote democrat …
if you want to keep your union job that is)..
This blatent attempt by democrats to USE the legislative process to FORCE all americans to vote forever for them
is a disgrace to all american citizens.
If you disagree with the democrats they will then USE the legislative process to fine you (the amercian citizen) or worse Jail you because you dared to speak out against the VILE democrats.
Our forefathers Fought the revolutionary war
exactly because Great britain was doing the same thing.
Remeber taxation witout representation?
Remember great britain passsed the soldier quartering laws.
FORCING colonists to support great britians soldiers at their own expense ? or risk fines?
Remember great britian forced colonists with punitive taxes
to try and force the colonists to support only the agenda
and companies of which great britain approved?
Tell me now isnt this the EXACT same thing the democrats and obama is doing now?
Tell me if i am wrong but i know i am not.
But in order for us to take our country back
we must I mean MUSt have the support of the
African american community, wich i sincerly doubt
since most of the pastors in the african american community
arent worried about the constitution, no they only worry
about social justice (read money from democrats in congress)
So the democrats are already completly corrupted
and are activly working for the enemies of the United states of America
But this also shows that the republicans also are corrupt as well and must be thrown out of office and deported too.
None of them not one that i can find is now worthy
of the office of which they hold..
If our forfathers were here right now
George washington, abraham lincoln, thomas jefferson
and the rest of them would already be marching on washington DC with their muskets and torches held High.
To perform their constitutional duty
Too Arrest ALL the Politicians in both houses right NOW.
I say this with trembling hands because i know that that
means and I dont want to do this, nor do i like it.
Not at all, but i dont see any other choice.
Because i know that the democrats are so drunk with power
they WILL USE the legislative process to PUNISH
the AMERICAN PEOPLE..
Lets call it what it is folks
This is high crimes and TREASON.
It is TREASON to USE the legislative process to
fine and punish american citizens when we tell our own
government NO to socialist health care.
This is WRONG and must be stopped NOW.
Both parties are completly corrupt..
Both parties must be stopped NOW..
When i see republicans being paid hundreds of thousands of
dollars to stop laws meant to protect us citizens
this means to me that all politicians are corrupt and must be removed from office immidiatly.
when i see the democrats letting islamic terrorists go free
when i watch as democrats give free multi million dollar
vacations to Islamic terrorists in bermuda
When i watch as barney franks forces banks to loan
money to illegal mexicans then claim innocence
as the entire financial system goes up in a fireball.
Then it is time americans to take all and i do mean all
members of congress and the hosue of representatives
And give them two choices
1. Resign immidiatly
and go home never to show your face in washington again
2. Stand Trial publicly for treason
and if found guilty to be executed by firing squad.
The only exceptions would be for members of the us military,
/ policeman / firefighters / pastors
they would be allowed to resign with honor
but never to serve in the congress again.
We must clean out the VIPERS that infest
Both houses of the senate and the white house
Including the state department.
ALL and i do mean ALL must GO NOW..
Or we will not survive..
All members of the congress and senate
and president obama are no longer americans
they are active criminals and should be treated as such.

Just a few more drips and ARCORN will be able to officially get all wee-weed up.
By then I’m guessing that Fox, et al., will have them peeing into the wind.
John Conyers, esteemed member of the United States House of Representatives representing Michigan’s 14th congressional district, will not be available for comment REGARDING HIS CANCELLATION OF HEARINGS INTO ACORN. He will be visiting Monica. John Conyers is married to Monica Conyers, who is former President Pro-Tempore of the Detroit City Council and the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation into political corruption in the city.[19] In 2009 Monica Conyers pled guilty to conspiring to commit bribery.

No, that would be the Daley effect. Anytime a journalist here in Chicago questions Daley about the scandal of the day in his administration, he never knows anything about anything or anyone. He trained Obama. Of course, Daley doesn’t get questioned that often because we only have one real journalist here in John Kass.

“Why did ACORN even make this empty threat?”
Silly rabbit,
Because after playing our legal system for decades to their advantage, this is their knee-jerk reaction. BHO’s first at ACORN, then Davis , Miner & Galland(I think thats right names wise)was suing banks on the behalf of fraudulent applicants in the name of “social equality” and accusations of “racism.”
They have so effectively co-opted our legal system to their purposes that they literally think anything is possible. It is reflected in Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg’s qoute:
“The statute provides these guideposts, but the statute ultimately says I have discretion to decide what it is that these people should make and that my determination will be final,” Feinberg claims. “Anything is possible under the law.”
Congress is mess, it is full of lawyers, the Senate is a mess, it is full of lawyers, our entire political system has been usurped lawyers, and it is anything but tidy.
Lawyers have been the bane of society and the but of jokes during the entirety of civilized humanity. Yet we have put them almost exclusively into the halls of power, then wonder what in the hell went wrong!
As was so famously said, “first kill all the lawyers!” while that may be a bit draconian, not by all that much!

Well, they are right, they are edited…as are most videos.
And the subtitles are worth it, since it is so difficult to understand their “english”…good lord, do you know how difficult it is to hire someone that thinks and talks like that?

ACORN is looking, seeking, investigating every legal option.
Hoping that Holder and them can find something illegal to prosecute O’Keefe.
Remember, this is the same guy who was hired to do the undercover Planned Parenthood expose.
Since there has been two of these “hit pieces”, if they can find some legal loophole, look for the RICO act to be filed.

Seems appropriate here.

Didn’t they already officially change their name to COITUS (Community Organizations International of The United States)?

“The democrats are no longer americans
the liberals,democrats and obama are now so vile
that even the mafia is jealous and wants in on the action.”
Trust me my friend, they are in on the action. The Chicago mob’s overseas office, Fiat/La cosa Nostra was just given Chrysler a couple of months back.
Der Speigel had an expos’e on Fiat’s complicity with La Cosa Nostra in wasting 10′s billions of Euros on wind-turbines in southern italy that produce little to no electricity.
How long till it is announced some new contract for Fiat/Chrysler to rip us off in the same manner?
Weeks, months, should we start a pool? I’ll go 1st..ummmm, 1/20/10.
