Fox News posts full, unedited video of sting on ACORN San Bernardino
posted at 7:39 pm on September 15, 2009 by Allahpundit
I’m not sure why Breitbart, O’Keefe, and Giles are holding back part two of their vid when FNC already has the whole hour-long escapade up on its site, but people are starved for more so I’ll feed you what I have. Below you’ll find no fewer than seven clips: The first three are of Beck commenting on the lowlights of the tapes from today’s special all-ACORN episode and the last four comprise what appears to be the complete unedited video — sans subtitles and narration — from the office visit. One interesting bit not included in the clip that we watched earlier but flagged by Beck is of “Theresa” insisting that her supervisor would never go in for this sort of deal … before suggesting that she might have a racket like this going on on the side herself.
No reaction to tonight’s latest bombshell from ACORN thus far, and no further word from the House GOP about pushing to defund the organization. It’s awfully quiet out there.

Not only defund but prosecute. Criminal enterprise that trained O no less.

Unlike the East Coast vids, this woman doesn’t seem believable.
Extraneus on September 15, 2009 at 7:43 PM
Right now. Congressman Royce (R -Calif) on CNBC telling Kudlow about ACORN lobbying the FED to NOT reign in the abuses in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Talking about their culpability in the financial crisis.
elduende on September 15, 2009 at 7:43 PM
ACORN and the NY state racket
Isnt just fed dollars going to the group.
William Amos on September 15, 2009 at 7:44 PM
After watching these vids for the past few days I get the impression that ACORN finds their workers at the same place carnivals do.
Mark1971 on September 15, 2009 at 7:45 PM
she is crazy and speaks volumes about this organization.
rob verdi on September 15, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Mike Shea
Executive Director of ACORN Housing Corporation
I bet you did, Mike. Let’s make sure those files stay intact now.
faraway on September 15, 2009 at 7:45 PM
I think there is a bigger one coming. Even after this extremely awful incriminating video.
The corruption is rampid. It’s time to not only investigate and arrest people of ACORN, but also the politicians depending on their services.
cubachi on September 15, 2009 at 7:45 PM
All wee wee”d out?
Skandia Recluse on September 15, 2009 at 7:45 PM
ACORN needs to be investigated for multiple RICO violations.
elduende on September 15, 2009 at 7:45 PM
This is one hell of an “other shoe”.
ACORN should be finished, but somehow I don’t think it’ll happen.
omnipotent on September 15, 2009 at 7:46 PM
‘Believable’ as in she’s a total BSer about her stories, or ‘believable’ as in she doesn’t work for ACORN?
jon1979 on September 15, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Hold on tight, folks. Hannity had Hannah on his show today, and not only is there new video tomorrow, but at least one more after that. If you ask me, this is building into quite a crescendo that I think will end up in the very belly of this beast: Chicago ACORN offices.
Weight of Glory on September 15, 2009 at 7:46 PM
Why is it so quiet out there?
Personally, I was a little disappointed by todays tape; Beck and co. built this one up so much I half expected Joe Biden to come walking out of the back room.

Really? Seems believable to me. Then again it doesn’t matter the first 3 videos alone are enough to shut them down. I have a feeling there is more to come.
milwife88 on September 15, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Yes it is…
Seven Percent Solution on September 15, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Just think a few years ago Obama would have been the greasy one out there defending ACORN in public. This is where Obama comes from.

she DID meet IN PERSON with a CA STATE legislator, shocking but true! see here
ginaswo on September 15, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Re: It’s awfully quiet out there.
A citizen journalist is getting uppity by doing the job of real reporters. For traditional reporters to embrace this is to embrace their own flaws. That’s asking a lot from the wine sniffers at the NY Times and LA Times.
Scranton on September 15, 2009 at 7:50 PM
That’s because of how Breitbart is playing this drip drip drip strategy. They don’t want to get in front of this story until they know they aren’t implicated in any forthcoming videos. Quite simply they are paralyzed with fear.
Weight of Glory on September 15, 2009 at 7:50 PM
But Acorn hired her.
Topsecretk9 on September 15, 2009 at 7:51 PM
Since Giles and O’Keefe, bless ‘em, had the smarts to drip this thing out the way they did, you’d think that they also have the smarts to save the best for last.
Is it greedy to believe that there is even more incriminating evidence to be had?
pugwriter on September 15, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Hello shredder!!!!
These bastards really need to get their tits ripped off.

HornetSting on September 15, 2009 at 7:52 PM
I have to agree. Sounded more like a looney broad embellishing. Probably lives in a trailer park, the exciting part of her day – flapping her gums at the ACORN office.
fogw on September 15, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Apparently you haven’t spent much time in San Bernardino…
anniekc on September 15, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Now we know where Obama picked up his mad vetting skills.
BigWyo on September 15, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Now, that is frightening.
Diane on September 15, 2009 at 7:53 PM
These videos are making me feel a bit “wormy” just watching them…I can only watch parts.
This is actually becoming a bit weird. This organization seems to be rotten to the core. Of course they say that these are just low level (they’re not kidding!) employees, but the corporate culture is just vile, soulless and corrupt in every sense of the word. ACORN can call these isolated instances, yet there is enough consistency in the nature of the advice that they are giving out to leave a feeling that this is not isolated.
I saw a piece somewhere today in which ACORN commented on the number of low income people had received housing through their efforts…would it be wrong to ask at this point how many ended up as brothels? Crack houses?
There is another point as well, regarding the established media. Normally, when stuff such as this comes out, we start to hear endless interviews with the people on screen…where are the interviewers chasing down these child abuse/slavery enablers to get their “side” of the story? Or even ACORN’s executives?
This is vile stuff.
Blaise on September 15, 2009 at 7:53 PM
You don’t shoot all of your good rounds at once or in the first shootout. Start with a little, and then intensify. The enemy will fall, eventually.
newton on September 15, 2009 at 7:54 PM
I read someone who speculated that perhaps they infiltrated an ACORN training session, sans the pimp/prostitute characters, and have it on film that this is what ACORN teaches.
Mallard T. Drake on September 15, 2009 at 7:54 PM
It’s unfortunate that the undercover couple released the unedited video of the this sting before the ones they aired before, since that makes it look like they have something to hide in the other cases. Maybe they just had this one ready first, but it tarnishes the investigation a tad. It’s no defense of ACORN, but it doesn’t help their case against ACORN.
calbear on September 15, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Anyone heard from Eric Holder? You remember him, the Attorney General of the United States.

I think they were expecting the MSM to jump in and the nat’l attention to be quite a bit higher as time went by- ha-ha, jokes on all of us.
anniekc on September 15, 2009 at 7:57 PM
B.S. She seems to be making it up as she goes, bragging and exaggerating, and I bet they find she never had a dead husband and try to use that to claim the other vids were all b.s., too.
Extraneus on September 15, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Sorry, but the House is too busy voting on censure for Rep. Wilson today to notice the flaming fraud and waste in Acorn, much less talk about not funding this group of gypsies, tramps and thieves.
Kissmygrits on September 15, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Libtards tend to do that when 100s of thousands march on DC and their pet criminal institution finally gets busted

ACORN hired this woman. They also hired Barry and taught him what he knows. King Hussein has ACORN roots and they go way back together.
seven on September 15, 2009 at 7:59 PM
With between 100-200 offshoot and ancillary ACORN organizations, senate legislation to slash funding may unfortunately not affect all the affiliates. The liberals will make certain some of the more easily disguised subsidiaries still have access to a federal funding stream. The whole idea makes me nauseous.
anXdem on September 15, 2009 at 7:59 PM
Breitbart et al. are playing this story just right. They must have “the big one” waiting. Beck has been pounding the media about the lack of coverage. It is almost as if they are giving the MSM every chance to get on board before the hammer drops. When it does, and the MSM is sitting on it’s thumb, ACORN will be taken down and the media will be rocked by their indifference. At least we can hope.
Mallard T. Drake on September 15, 2009 at 7:59 PM
You can threaten O’Keefe and that girl all you want,
but you know the joke is all on YOU…
Damn! I’m getting very good at this song parody stuff!
newton on September 15, 2009 at 7:59 PM
Obama was their lawyer, right? Their “legal council”? Maybe it was the other way around.
Socratease on September 15, 2009 at 7:59 PM
I doubt if her husband’s demise attracted much attention in the arm pit of CA that is San Bernardino.
anniekc on September 15, 2009 at 7:59 PM
This is disgusting. This scandal is just the tip of the iceberg. ACORN with its voter fraud enabling Obama’s victories in Ohio and Indiana. Believe me the next shoe to drop will come from a significant whistleblower that will bring house of Obama cards tumbling down. Mark my words.
milemarker2020 on September 15, 2009 at 7:59 PM
MESSAGE TO THE MEDIA…THIS IS WHY WE/YOU SHOULD VET OUR PRESIDENTS…SO THEY ARE NOT LINKED TO EMBARRASING SCAMS AND FOUND TO HAVE MORE BONES IN THEIR CLOSETS THAN A DAMN GRAVEYARD!
There…got that off my chest. Are you paying attention now Gibson?
javamartini on September 15, 2009 at 8:00 PM
These are Obama’s peeps. Keep that in mind, as he lounges around the White House, has the nuclear football in his hands, or is responsible for running the war effort.
elduende on September 15, 2009 at 8:00 PM
I think an admitted murder/manslaughter is bigger than anything else. She clearly admitted that she planned the shooting because she went through the machinations of getting her ducks in a row.
csdeven on September 15, 2009 at 8:00 PM
OK. We gotta get together here. We’ve got a nice “Chestnuts” parody going on!
newton on September 15, 2009 at 8:00 PM
You’re probably right…however, with how smart Breitbart and Beck have played the info these two journalists brought, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was put out so that certain people would begin denying and crying foul, only to then be caught with their pants down in the next video to come out. This day smells like a set up. But outside of that, let’s not forget what’s really shocking about this: the reality that a politician who wants to use underage sex slaves to fund his campaign is embraced at ACORN offices in Maryland, D.C., NY, and now Cali. Whether or not she is actually as close as she claims to be with the names she’s dropping isn’t as big of a deal right now. It may become a big deal if it’s proved true, but this once again shows a systemic problem in ACORN offices that are separated by thousands of miles and three time zones. That’s what’s key here.
Weight of Glory on September 15, 2009 at 8:01 PM
I don’t have the time to watch all this… So a crazy white lady also helps ACORN break the law. Nothing new here.

HornetSting on September 15, 2009 at 8:02 PM
The ultimate result of all this should be that ACORN is as far away from ballots and ballot boxes as possible, thus minimizing voter fraud.

DFA is the political machine and why ACORN is so important.
http://www.democracyforamerica.com/
DFA was founded by the Howard Dean, DNC.
http://www.democracyforamerica.com/campaignacademy
“Our Campaign Academy weekends are 16 hours of interactive workshops that bring hundreds of local activists, campaign staff and candidates together for 2 days of intensive campaign training.”
ACORN and their ilk are the workers. The DFA are training candidates, using ACORN to get them elected, and ACORN writes legislation, getting tax money in return to pay the workers. That’s the racket. That’s the machine.

Breitbart explained on Hannity’s radio show this afternoon that they are dropping the videos one at a time because they knew if they dumped them all at once, it would get the same treatment that Van Jones did—that is, a footnote on page 37 about someone resigning.
Hannity also said he’s going to have some exclusive video tonight, so I’m guessing that’s where Theresa’s second act will be unveiled.
