Video: Michelle on the media’s ACORN “protection racket”

posted at 10:24 pm on September 16, 2009 by Allahpundit

From the woman who wrote the book on The One’s culture of corruption, five minutes on just how deep the shadiness at ACORN runs. There’s a fun fact about the San Diego office’s relationship with illegal aliens buried in here but I won’t spoil the surprise. Send this to Boehner et al. when you e-mail them to demand a floor vote ASAP on defunding this syndicate.

She’s number two on the New York Times bestseller list this week, behind … oh, I can’t bear to say it.

This is how the Associated Press is reporting the audit:

Embattled ACORN orders independent investigation

By SHARON THEIMER (AP) – 2 hours ago

WASHINGTON — The community organizing group ACORN said Wednesday it is ordering an independent investigation after its employees were caught on camera appearing to advise a couple posing as a prostitute and pimp to lie about the woman’s profession to get housing help.

The group, which came under fire from conservatives for alleged voter fraud in 2008, said it is refusing new admissions into its service programs.

The group, which advocates for poor people, conducted a massive voter registration effort last year and became a target of conservatives when some employees were accused of submitting false registration forms with names such as “Mickey Mouse.” ACORN has said only a handful of employees submitted false registration forms and did so in a bid to boost their pay.

ACORN will work with its advisory council, which includes prominent supporters of President Barack Obama, such as John Podesta, president of the nonprofit Center for American Progress, and Andrew Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, to name an independent auditor and investigator, ACORN chief executive Bertha Lewis said in a written statement.

The investigation will examine all the systems and processes called into question by the video, Lewis said.

I think the NYT rigged the voting with help from ACORN and their known voter fraud!

tanvec on September 16, 2009 at 10:27 PM

We need a RICO investigation and we need a Special Prosecutor appointed to investigate Obama’s ties to ACORN.

elduende on September 16, 2009 at 10:28 PM

If you were to ask for the worst possible sort of scandal to emerge out of the organization that gave us Obama, this would be it.

And as for the State Media, sex, corruption, sex, hard hitting journalism, sex, murder, and sex used to make a story irresistible to them. I don’t think you can understand how low the Obamedia has fallen.

milwife88 on September 16, 2009 at 10:33 PM

The RICO investigation needs to be initiated by the Justice Department (i know) and the independent prosecutor should be appointed by the Attorney General (again I know).

They won’t start any investigations until the political pressure gets so intense that they find it intolerable politically to avoid it. Once it starts they have to stay honest mainly because the issue of trust is already so low that any missteps will be seen as tampering.

Knucklehead on September 16, 2009 at 10:44 PM

As I posted yesterday on another thread: “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.”

Finding ACORN subsidiaries may prove extremely difficult (with or without a look at the books), and compounding the problem will be numerous pols (especially team Barry) obstructing the process to save themselves from the revelation of complicity.

What tetriskid is saying that Charles was defending Van Jones who was obviously a truther and banning people who disagreed with him. It was so bad that Charles and his minions started to attack Zombie. I think she survived, but geez, Zombie. If they ban her, they have absolutely nothing left.

Lance Murdock on September 16, 2009 at 10:59 PM

I really don’t understand how people can defend Van Jones.

terryannonline on September 16, 2009 at 11:02 PM

He seems very anti-9/11 truther in this post from yesterday.

terryannonline on September 16, 2009 at 10:56 PM

LGF has been covering for Van Jones and 9/11 Truthers for over a week. If you want to do the same that is your business.

tetriskid on September 16, 2009 at 11:04 PM

You betcha!Took a lot of bad boys down.

Man did he ever! He was the scourge of the Mob. I grew up following those investigations and take downs in NYC. He would be tailored made for bringing down ACORN.

There are prosecutors out there that no doubt would do a great job doing this. Its up to the states to police ACORN for now.

I don’t think Eric Holder will allow this.

Mirimichi on September 16, 2009 at 10:59 PM

yeah maybe its time to focus on the State Attorneys to take ACORN down and let us flip congress and have them pressure Holder later to appoint a special prosecutor later.

Any more videos and the phrase Peel the Onion will have to be changed to Peel the Acorn.

terryannonline on September 16, 2009 at 10:56 PM

He is anti-truther but defended Van Jones against the claim that he was one. CJ has also attacked several conservative bloggers including Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Michelle Malkin, and The Other McCain with charges of racism and bigotry.

A good portion of that is laid out here

aikidoka on September 16, 2009 at 11:06 PM

I am very sad about the deterioration over at LGF. Once upon a time, I used to read LGF daily; Dan Rather/memogate is what got me reading blogs. However, I was pretty confused when he went from regularly linking Robert Spencer to calling him a fascist. It is just sad that he now smears the tea parties.

CJ did always describe himself as a liberal who got mugged by 9/11 (I think that was him anyway). I guess he reverted or something. Too bad. I liked the bicycle and photography posts. Now I have to deal with dude posts about donut bacon cakes and chubby blondes with fake hair.

In a related subject, I wonder just how many fraudulent votes ACORN was able to get cast in the last election.

Woahza! Where did that come from? Where did I defend Van Jones and 9/11 truthers?

If only ABC’s Charlie Gibson had purchased a copy of Culture of Corruption, he would have known sooner that ACORN is a criminal enterprise…

Knucklehead on September 16, 2009 at 11:08 PM

Only covering for one of them that I know of – Van Jones. LGF remains anti-truther in a big way. That is good.

oceansidecon on September 16, 2009 at 11:11 PM

What the heck is going on here?? You analysts are becoming a story and the judges. This is no fun… Let’s stick to the point; what do y’all think about the boss’s analysis/comments about of Acorn?

I knew I was done with him when he attack Zombie. I mean come on.

He’ll go after right-wing truthers like Buchcanan, but not Jones? He went full fledged Andrew Sullivan

Lance Murdock on September 16, 2009 at 11:21 PM

Seriously, LGF has banned over 1,000 ppl this last yr. Most from slight disagreements or from them registering at “the wrong sites.” See, The Bicyclist checks to see where else you post. Often. PowerLine delinked him, King Charles delinked PJM. Most decent blogs delinked him quite a while back. He is a nutbar. I wished HA would follow suit. Charles hates MM. He has trashed her on more than one occasion.

di butler on September 16, 2009 at 11:22 PM

di butler on September 16, 2009 at 11:22 PM

It won’t happen anytime soon. I thought it was AP that was keeping LGF linked here. But Ed was defending Charles yesterday too. It was kind of strange since Charles has bashed Ed on more than one occasion.

Lance Murdock on September 16, 2009 at 11:27 PM

Great job, as usual, Michelle! You’ve got it down to an art. Excellent tie-in with ACORN assisting illegal mortgages. And congrats on the smashing success of your book.

Christien on September 16, 2009 at 11:27 PM

Dear Michelle: Thank you so much for your work to expose the ideologically driven lies of the MSM. You are an incredible talent and resource for our country.

Lance Murdock on September 16, 2009 at 11:27 PM

He was?? Chuckles trashes MM on a regular basis.

Is our one and only Allah afraid of Charles exposing him like he has others?

Knucklehead on September 16, 2009 at 11:32 PM

There’s a fun fact about the San Diego office’s relationship with illegal aliens

In 1993, Obama, on behalf of ACORN, sued citibank forcing them to make sub-prime loans. Mmmmm…

TN Mom on September 16, 2009 at 11:34 PM

I just had a terrible thought – what if these two ‘kids’ doing the ACORN sting videos are goofing on everyone, and the entire thing is a setup, staged to troll everyone?

It’s only a matter of time before Allah and Ed reach their senses.

What I find funny is that he now bashes PJM, but his fat face is plaster on the ‘about us’ page. I guess that makes him a fascist too.
