Video: Greasy ACORN spokesman greasier than ever
posted at 9:52 pm on September 14, 2009 by Allahpundit
Remember him? The guy who wouldn’t let John Fund get a word in edgewise during the campaign? Here he is on MSNBC to explain the current scandal to you. Yes, the prostitution sting fooled a few low-level employees, but Fox has a vendetta and the applications never would have made it past senior management and, why, you’re probably a racist for even questioning him to begin with. The opprobrium you’re about to endure serves you right for doubting him.
This tool really should be the White House press secretary after Gibbs. No one else could do sufficiently unctuous justice to The One’s lies.

Exactly! If the ACORN folks earnestly telling them to adopt the sex slaves was just the first stage of the process, where was the immediate call to the authorities the minute the clients left ACORN as part of that same process to weed out the undeserving?

How about these guys:
* Dick Durbin (D-IL)
* Roland Burris (D-IL)
* Robert Casey (D-PA)
* Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
* Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
* Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
* Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

Can anyone help me out? I want to go to the ACORN/SEIU office in Indianapolis to see about getting a house to open meth lab so I can pay for my father-in-law’s “lung cancer” treatments a la Breaking Bad. Yeah, that’s it.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 14, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Don’t forget the voter registration fraud in 14 states. Or ACORN’s crappy, run-down HQ, in New Orleans…
It’s a pattern of Culture of Corruption, stupid!!

He’s also quantum leaps ahead of Robert Gibbs. Allah opined he should be the next Press Secretary for the filthy liar. If I were Rahm, I’d be making that change now. Gibbs falters over the details of killing Grandma. This guy doesn’t even flinch over defending the sexual exploitation of underage girls. If you’re gonna run a socialist dictatorship you need propagandists who don’t falter over ethics.
highhopes on September 14, 2009 at 10:50 PM
He’s so slimy he almost seems too slimy! Like the perfect caricature of what a slimy guy would be! You couldn’t create a slimier guy. Really! It’s like he’s acting,, trying out for the lead role in a movie called Mr Slimy! Unbelievable!
JellyToast on September 14, 2009 at 10:51 PM
So last night he was fully rational and today’s not inconsequential debut of Leno’s much hyped show is the time for a breakdown? I smell a PR rat.
highhopes on September 14, 2009 at 10:52 PM
Make up your mind. Are they corrupt or stupid? From viewing the vids the actual ACORN employees appeared to be sort of dumb getto black bit players from some central casting somewhere. I didn’t think there were people like that around after the whole civil rights, affirmitive action era. What the heck happend to all THAT money?

proudteadrinker on September 14, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Strange when ya go through his list of things we DIDN’T see in the tape he forgot ta mention
Didn’t see any of the Acorns bat an eye at the idea of pimping children ALL 3 tapes.
Didn’t see or hear any of the Acorns excuse themselves and go call the cops.
Didn’t hear about ANY of these Acorns having called the cops AFTER these 2 left, including the ones in San Diego, LA, or any of the other Acorn claims they turned them down.
Are we really to believe Acorn management was going to catch this “up the line”
3 for 3 didn’t bat an eye.
Any leaks on what tomorrow’s tape will be?
DSchoen on September 14, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Let’s ask congressman Conyers who the “powers that be” are and why they didn’t want an investigation of ACORN…

Hope when you call the seven senators that voted to keep funding this criminal organization you are able to convey how idiotic and corrupt this makes them seem…..Surely they misunderstood the vote….we know how they hate to read stuff…..

Why have they only fired people exposed on video? No others?

I remember Glenn Beck shoutin this guy down, then he hit on Glenn’s producer or somethin. That interviewer was an outrageous *ss kisser on MSNBC! That ACORN guy is the Bahgdad Bob of community organizers.
Ozprey on September 14, 2009 at 11:10 PM
Now, all that is left is to figure out how to combine “greasy” and “unctuous” into a single descriptive term. Grunctuous would be my first choice, but that just isn’t vile-sounding enough.

BigWyo on September 14, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Can Scott explain why ACORN has a pattern of hiring people who believe that subsidizing child prostitution is OK?
Can Scott explain why his twelve step process failed to halt this at step one?
Can Scott explain why, if people occasionally do stupid things, what is the probability of three random samples doing the identical stupid thing without having been trained to do so?
unclesmrgol on September 14, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Hiring the jobless.

unclesmrgol on September 14, 2009 at 11:19 PM
My dad is an unemployed real estate broker/appraiser/review appraiser for a mortgage company. I am sure he is not alone. Maybe we could use some stimulus money to hire some out of work brokers/appraisers/mortgage reviewers like my dad who are out of work to review the 150,000 homes loans ACORN helped get funding for and see what they might find.

hillbillyjim on September 14, 2009 at 11:34 PM
Yep! Good point!
How did that professional journalist miss that?
Heck I’d bet that spokeshole woulda pointed out that none of their paper work says for “child prostitution” on it!
Ya just can’t get nuttin past them professionals on MSNBC.
Cept it did get past them professionals on MSNBC, imagine that?
DSchoen on September 14, 2009 at 11:34 PM
Here are some of my thoughts the new ACORN video coming out tomorrow.
It will have undercover video that will show ACORN representatives vetting Van Jones for the White House earlier this year.
Another possibility will be a video of ACORN advising Charlie Rangle on his tax situation! Stay tuned!

Imagine. A 20 year old has stopped ACORN from being involved in the census and has the Senate acting to cut all funding. God bless America. I just hope it sticks.

P.S. I remember seeing a video years ago where Acorn hired people to register people but never paid the workers. There were like 20 people standing outside an Acorn office all angry like and being interviewed by local news.

Scott Levin right at the beginning says they put 150,000 people into their first homes and kept 50,000 free of foreclosure this year. Does that mean 100,000 were not kept free of foreclosure? Two out of three ARCORN home placements failed, so far this year, meaning more are on the way?
If there was a brighter spin for those numbers he would have trotted it out.

I’m all wee weed up just thinking about it. The last few days have been just swell. I’m walking around at work all day firing up the blogs on my Blackberry every 30 minutes to see what stunning new revelations the Beck-Breitbart axis have for us. Christmas is going to be such an anticlimax this year.
Sharke on September 15, 2009 at 12:28 AM
He’s creepy ain’t he. I wonder what the odds are that he’ll get arrested in a clown costume outside of a grade school sometime in the next 5 years.
Sharke on September 15, 2009 at 12:33 AM
No doubt he gets some benefit of underage females in ACORN employ.
The man who pulled that 11-year old in Lake Tahoe is just a little poorly dressed, maybe a little less fast with the glib, than this deviate.
How can someone defend the same story almost word for word at three separate locations of ACORN? He can’t, to a sentient being. The answers come out so consistent and so easily…this is hardly the first time these low-level workers have dealt with the “issues”.
These slime know the ropes, they have done this before and any reasonably critical thinker could see this.
This monster is paid to explain and perpetuate it all. There is a God, I believe. This puke will not enjoy his exit interview, methinks.

Geochelone on September 15, 2009 at 1:33 AM
I expect the slimy mouthpiece of ACORN to do his same ol’ schtick, but MSNBC is so BLATANT for a supposed “news” organization to only START reporting on this ACORN story when they want to help ACORN attack their own much more successful rival – Fox News.
I wonder how much MSNBC paid ACORN to come on their show to pretend to cover the story, while really only trying to slam Fox? (and failing miserably).
Hey, MSNBC – you’re late to the party, along with all the other ratings-dropping-like-a-stone MSM outlets.
Pathetic. Really pathetic.
fred5678 on September 15, 2009 at 1:38 AM

Besides, if one were to judge them solely by their album titles, they’re Obama/Holdren/Van Jones fans.
CPL 310 on September 15, 2009 at 3:30 AM
Acorn being smeared by the Fake News Entertainment channel. Once again, what else is new? Question for the drones on this blog, why did “socialist” Obama win if Fox has such a huge followership and everyone believes their propaganda? Answer, because Americans know they are an entertainment channel that shouldnt be taken seriously.
Afrolib on September 15, 2009 at 4:32 AM
Question for the trolls on this blog:
Why does Hot Air let you post here if it is run and read by closed minded drones?
Answer:
Because Americans know left-wing trolls are an entertainment value and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Mr. Casey got elected because his name is Mr. Casey. His father was a very popular pro life governor of PA who died a few years back. Senator Casey, sad to say, is such an empty suit,, well once you get to know him, listen and watch him,, you will realize that lucky breaks do happen. I watched him debate Rick Santorum (an yes I know, Santorum lost, but that;s because his opponent had the name of Casey) when I watched this debate, Mr Casey had not a clue what he was doing. He could only repeat some bumper sticker slogans, things he had memorized. I am not sure if he even knew where the exit was after the debate.(this is why you never hear much from him, he does not do well in the spotlight) He does seem like a very nice guy. He does not seem like the kind of person who would get in anyone’s face. Very mild mannered. Very nice. Not much upstairs,, but his name is Casey.
JellyToast on September 15, 2009 at 7:16 AM
Hey AfroLib, it’s turning out that FoxNews is the only news channel doing any investigative reporting. After Obama is removed from office(he was a trainer for ACORN-there’s gotta be juicy video or audio tape out there of him promoting this kind of crime)and no other station reports on it until it happens like with Van(commie)Jones, no other news channel or outlet will have any credibility.
Go back to Snuffington Post, where they might let a post of yours through. Here at HotAir.com we censor ourselves. We don’t need Soviet style “moderators” to block content that is off message. Zsa Zsa needs a memory hole over there to continue promoting her Brave New World. I’d tell you to wake up and smell the DemocratSocialist party burning, but you and I both know it’s too late, you’re just a brainwashed fool…..

Ah, I see it all now: organizations on the right (Freedom Works, which has nothing to do with this, of course) are just as corrupt as the left (ACORN), because, you know, they could be potentially corrupt, and like that.
Thanks, MSNBC, for the hard-hitting reptilian debate.
