Gee, the San Bernadino transcript was an intersting read, what with Tresa telling O’Keefe that ACORN wouldn’t help them and that she knew she was being set up.

O’Keefe’s angle with with the underage girls was that they were in an abusive environment where they were beaten and not being given food, and at first Tresa believes that “Eden” is trying to give them a better quality of life. When she finally realises what is going on it is obvious that she does not approve, she answers almost every mention of “underage girls” with “mmhmm” and ultimately comments that O’Keefe is setting her up.

Then she introduces O’Keefe to a guy who is pretty much pleading with O’Keefe to find a better way to help the girls, and that no matter what happens he will get caught and go to jail.

Then on top of that, you have FOX News and Glenn Beck running the “potential homicide” angle when they had almost an entire month to fact check Tresa’s story. They also had that one month to report the supposed homicide in San Bernadino, along with the people smuggling ring in Tijuana, to police and apparently failed to do so. Oh yeah, no full transcript or unedited audio/video for that one yet either.

This is hack journalism.

What no one is saying is that the House Res to Defund ACORN was proposed by Boehner.
Boehner: Measure to Defund ACORN Shouldn’t Be Held Hostage to Gov’t Takeover of Student Loans
GOP Leader Calls on Speaker Pelosi to Schedule Immediate Vote on the Defund ACORN Act as a Separate, Stand-Alone Bill.
The speaker creature tacked on the student loan bill to get some votes.

The media has been hilariously quiet about the ACORN story, but I think they just hate admitting that Fox bested them.

I like the federal guarantee student loan programs. We had it before, and it was much better than the privatized version, which has led to way too many stories of kickbacks to campuses.

So now the people at the head of ACORN will scurry like cockroaches until they can regroup under a new name.

Mangy Scot

When the Soviet Union broke apart, everyone thought that things had really changed, but all the Communists, Socialists and Fellow Travelers were still there and they just reorganized in order to continue their control.

Like so, ACORN is a complex far reaching organization that will just change it’s name, shuffle the pea under a few more cups, and continue to get your tax money as before.

ACORN claims they get most of their $ from donations.
Is it time to boycott anyone who gives $ to ACORN?

You mean NO MONEY!!? No money to help hookers, pimps, or illegal underage ladies of the evening find homes and register to vote?

You can’t be so cruel as to stop helping these people!

They will just dissolve and re-constitute themselves as another organization. Just like the old Dilbert, “I can assure you this organization has a totally different name”. I can see ACORN disincorporating and a new organization being formed by the same principals:

If you close your eyes and listen real hard, you can hear ACORN shredders running all over the country.

Too late

The state attorney general is investigating ACORN, a community organization where low- and moderate-income families join for different services. News 2 obtained copies of subpoenas and financial records, some dating back more than 10 years.

ACORN’s chief executive officer says that the group gets most of its money from members and other supporters and that its operations would continue even if it is cut off from government grants.

This begs the obvious question. WHY THE HELL ARE WE GIVING THEM MONEY THEN?

You can read the document at biggovt.com. In part it says “any orgnizations that shares directors, employees, or independent contractors with ACORN.”

That is on page 3 or 4.
