  • APORN would be a more fitting name for ACORN, I thought!

As the incriminating videos of ACORN employees continue to pile up, the mainstream continues to look the other way and ignore the corruptness of an organization that is stealing Billions of dollars from honest hard working Americans.

Example: When asked about the ongoing investigations & the Senate Amendment to cutoff Federal Funding to Acorn, here is how ABC's Charles Gibson reacted while being interviewed on a local radio station:

TRANSCRIPT:

Don: Ok here’s my question, Senate bill yesterday passes cutting off funds to this group called ACORN. Now we got the…we got that bill passing, we got the embarrassing video of ACORN staff giving tax advice on how to set up a brothel with 13 year old hookers. It has everything you could want corruption and sleazy action at tax funded organizations that’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story why?

Charlie Gibson: (laugh) I don’t even know about it. Uh, so you got me at a loss, I don’t know. Uh, uh, but, but My goodness if it’s got everything including sleaziness in it we should talk about it this morning.

Roma: This is the American way…

Charlie Gibson: Well maybe, maybe that’s one you just leave to the cables.

An amendment to cutoff funding was passed in the Senate 83-7. Yet, there were Seven Child-Whoring Pimp Assistance Program defenders?”

Not surprisng, all seven were Democrats. All selling their souls and committed to protecting the worst kind of cheats instead of standing up for the taxpayer and protecting the law.

Here is the list of the seven Child-Whoring Pimp Assistance Program defenders,

Anyone who has a conscious and a single moral fiber running through their body, should be angry & upset if any one of these 7 Senators represents you.

130 Members of Congress have sent a letter to the President Obama asking him to disclose and terminate all funding to ACORN. Over 305 members of Congress still remain silent on this issue.

The President has still to make any official statements but as we all know he has worked for and trained ACORN Organizers so he better choose his words carefully.

Chalk up another one to the concerned citizens of this country who are doing the work of a Media who continues to stay in bed with our President.

    So if the employees of Acorn, 2 out of the I don't know 13,000 that they employ, commit a crime, instead of just having ACORN fire the two employess, you want to shut them sown instead, the entire organization should be shut down?

    Why cause your talking heads at Fox News tell you?

    Okay so if let's say Halliburton or Blackwater or Caci or Exxon-Mobil, or Wal-mart or Freedomworks or Fox News or Limbaugh or anyone other sort of organization who employ people, if anytime one or two or three or more employees act up, or do something unlawful, WE should shut down the whole organization.

    I love it. It a great idea. Lets start doing it that to all of them. I know the pizzaria down the block, the guy hasn't ordered cable but gets it anyway let's get it shut down. I knew of a certain Republican that was responsible for a breaking into the offices of the Democratic party. Let's shut down the whole organization.



    Also if the Fox News Channel is covering it, it is in the mainstream media. It basic freaking cable. You just said in your other article that its primetime gets like 25 million viewers.

    On top of that Yahoo! News, Google, Huffington Post, Washington Post, The Hill. That's a lot of other sources that are covering it as well.

    The logic behind it is stupid. You don't shut down an entire organization when low level and mid level employees abuse their positions. You may do it if it is top executives, maybe. But not for two people who couldn't remember tax codes. All you do with that is you fire the employees. The end.

    Amalgam80,

    If you can't see through the fraud & corruption and their history with law, you are hopeless. If you are going to give this group any benefit of the doubt you are blind. 83 Senators signed on to amendment to cutoff funding... Only 7 Democrats voted to continue funding . What Planet are you living on?

    Stop with the FOx News B.S already. They are the only news network covering the story and thank god for that.
    You are bordering on ignorant and or you are either an ACORN worker yourself or you enjoy giving away your hard earned dollars to Child Pimping & Prostitution Rings...

    Everyone knows that this is a corrupt organization. Get with the program already. You can't be serious?

    amalgam80 sez:

    So if the employees of Acorn, 2 out of the I don't know 13,000 that they employ, commit a crime, instead of just having ACORN fire the two employess, you want to shut them sown [sic] instead, the entire organization should be shut down?

    Two? Where did you get the idea it was two! There have been clips from four major offices, and at least a few high level employees in each one of three offices of this corruption-riddled organization -- Baltimore, MD, Washington, DC, and Brooklyn, NY. Are you so completely in denial that you cannot bring yourself to watch the clips?

    And now, add in San Bernadino, CA -- that's four of their main offices.

    In the latest from California, the one employee they spoke to actually told the duo that she herself ran an escort service years before, and never reported her income!

    And, she also told them that she had shot and killed her husband, pointing out that she had gone to shelters and made complaints of abuse prior to the killing. I wonder if that will prompt a re-look by law enforcement at the circumstances.

    A real sweetie, that one!! She also sent them to talk to a guy across the street who "helpfully" suggested that they set up a bogus school with 501C(3) tax exempt status, to cover up for having the underage children around!

    But please, Amalgam80 . . . step up and defend these thugs.

    Oh, wait . . . did you forget to mention the prior charges against ACORN (and in a few instances, convictions) for votor fraud arising out of the past election? You must have forgotten that one, huh?

    Yes, they should have all of their government funding cut off, and they should lose their organizational connection to the IRS, or any other official connecdtion with any government in this country, whatsoever.

    Their organization is simply riddled with corruption.

    This is no one-off occurance, I agree. In fact when the first of those incriminating videos of their Baltimore office surfaced they did put it down as "fluke" and as Amalgam80 suggests did indeed sack a couple of "bad apples". But as more & more offices started getting exposed, as Trochilus has rightly pointed out, it is clear to all that it was not a fluke, not even a coincidence - but in fact a pattern at work at ACORN!

    Am posting here a couple of those incriminating videos wherein James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles get a couple of key employees from the Big Apple of ACORN's offices (New York) to share a trick or two about covering up a child-prostitution racket and evading taxes.

    Okay, relax, take a deep breath, take a few more. Don't have an anxiety attack or anything. Just relax, and I will then defend my words..........

    Okay, if there are corrupt individuals in an organization, fire them. Fire them. If they do not get fire then you can complain and protest to shut down an organization. Only if they refuse to fire them.

    All the people caught up before, every instance that you claim I don't know about, they should all be fired if, and only if, the accusations are true.

    Just because Fox News reported a story, doesn't make it true. I thought you all Fox News devouts didn't trust mainstream media.

    So you fire the frauds, the corrupt, whoever else deserves to be fired.

    You do not try to shut down an organization.

    There are plenty of organization on the right that have been caught with voter fraud. The individuals were fired, fined, arrested, convicted. But the organization still operates.

    If you Torchilus and you Redhanded and You, everyone else that supports cutting all funding to groups like ACORN that are funded by federal dollars and whose employees get caught abusing their positons, then start kissing some of your own organizations goodbye.

    Some of the very organizations that may have helped organize the tea parties and register voters and received funding from your side of the political spectrum, have been caught doing illegal things too.

    Are you ready to shut down an entire organization on your side of politics for the corrupt actions of their employees?

    If so, put it on paper and I will sign it.
