ACORN CEO Slams "Relentless Attack" By Fox News

[samuraent]

the Acorn stories with James Okeefe have been PROVEN to be blatant and outright LIES!! These were right wing activists that made a movie which fake news, faux news, Fox news ran with. people believed it because they are dumb.

[natashiapelouski]

Acorn standards HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YAAAA you dimwit POS

pleeease lady. you are full of crap and SPEWING DEFENSIVE BULLCRAP. SHOW US YOUR BOOKS!!

IF YOU WON'T TOLERATE THIS BEHAVIOR IN YOUR ORGANIZATION THEY WHY ARE YOU THERE???? YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU EMPLOYEES DO.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?? DUHH DEEE DA DEE EEE.

[Budney420]

Lewis is an avowed socialist and anti-constitution. Federal funding cannot, must not be provided to any group, right or left, pursuing a political agenda. Weather or not the video was edited shouldn't be an issue as it at least called attention to the organization's true nature.

[ninjachipzanuff]

cry me a fucking river, you dumb black cow

[melora72]

The guy who funded them now admits that O'Keefe did not go into those offices posing as a pimp. He posed as a lawyer trying to help the prostitute get away from her abusive pimp and protect the underage girls. They cut the tapes and overdubbed them to get what they wanted. They claimed that ACORN got "billions" when they only got about 3.5 million ave in the last ten years. There are full transcripts available now. Of course Fox and Hannity have covered none of the new developments.

[bnjones28]

She said helping people of color. So everyones taxes go to acorn to help negros only?

[LesPaulCustom79]

@bnjones28 "If ACORN is breaking up, then it must be corrupt!!!" The late Johnny Cochran would have said. ACORN stands for this slogan:

(A)ll (C)ommunist (O)rganized into (R)evolutionary (N)uts

[melora72]

They go to inner city urban poor, of whom many are black.

[lordhighexecutioner]

Ms. Lewis made a big mistake in being so defensive... played right into their hands. The videos were fakes, they were doctored, the people behind them are without credibility - Breitbart for example with his "hear our prayers Obama" video hoax... I think she was advised to react in this way because had she been truthful, people would have branded her as another black conspiracy theorist claiming that whitey is out to get her and her group... sort of like OJ claiming the shoe pictures were fake.

[Intelligentparadigm]

menteuse peut être mais pas complètement , Je crois que il y a les problems dedans cet organisme mais c'est pas toute le monde

[ch1aka2]

Why doesn't FoxNews have any black or hispanic anchors?

[MinisterAilingTongue]

Elle est une menteuse malfaisante.

[cocobear33]

the thing with acorn is instead of them cleaning up their act they would rather blame someone else , i believe acorn in it self is nothing but a bunch of theifs but hey i could be wrong but i don't think that i am

[lmacorp]

Look at how drunk Sanchez is in this video. First he murders a man while drunk and now he murders the English language with his drunkenness

[mopman411]

..of color.

shows her standing with reality.

[swanson6666]

She should sue the person who invented cameras.

[swanson6666]

She sure has changed her tune. Initially, she wanted to go after FOX for even showing the tapes. BUSTED!! If her organization had itself together they wouldn't be able to be attacked. The camera only filmed what happend in front of it.

[boprn]

She is a filthy animal.

[53dumey]

When you take all the Fraudulent votes and add in the Votes from Institutions that house the Mentally handicapped and Alzheimer Patients, what you have is Obama losing the Election by 2 Million Votes !!!

[billydu2u]

we keep having babies, and your redneck women are having our babies too, lololol! U WILL NEVER REGAIN THE WHITEHOUSE!!! phukkin limp dik morons.

[xxdarkwolfgrrlxx]

Your a racist Spick.

[billydu2u]

and you need properly phukked.

[xxdarkwolfgrrlxx]

Your disgusting I would rather not indulge in your hobbies, but u can go ahead.

[billydu2u]

your reply states disgust, then you say i can 'go ahead' and if we were in the same physical space, i would. I would politley thank you when YOU were finished, and you would look brazenly in my eyes, and i would do you again.

then we could both be on our way, as lone wolves, but forevermore, whenever you considered the girth of a beer bottle, you would think of me and curse me as warmth and moisture swelled between your legs.

[xxdarkwolfgrrlxx]

Oh, you can use big words how surprising trust me if we were in the same physical space; and you tried to pull something like that the only thing you would leave with is a busted lip, and some broken bones.

[billydu2u]

I believe the AMA has established that anyone who watches hannity is learning disabled

[5pursuit]

She never seeems to suprise me. She claims they turned in the voter fraud cards, I don't think so. I believe it was the Baltimore office she had stated that the the 2 video takers were turned away, then they release the video showing another lie of Bertha's. I want to know where her lies will end. There is videos on youtube where her and Rev. Al Sharpton are not wanting illegal immigration laws enforced. What is next with her & ACORN? Is protecting terriorists next? Mainly ones related to 9/11.

[CodyWest88]

This B I T C H Is rude even to cnn who is that? They almost are protecting her...

[53dumey]

I expect Obama to step in and Take Up for Acorn !

Sadly the best we can expect is :

Acorn no longer recives Federal Funding !

Acorn looses its Tax Exemption !

Since they do recieve some Donations, I doubt they will ever completely disband !

Bertha Lewis can lie all she Wants, but people are discovering the Truth !

[pestie67]

Takin' the heat. Really Sanchez?? About as hot as Minnesota in Jan. This guy is a tool.

[BSNFabricating]

Yep...it was trumped up.

Her employees trumped it up.

[BSNFabricating]

Does "white" count as a color? If so, white folks would also qualify for ACORN's help...

Well, I guess if they are no longer government-funded they can legally pick and choose who they want to help...

[usucdik]

You really this dumb, "BSNFabricating"? The people that made the videos weren't black. Or are you just so ignorant that you don't even know the issue being mentioned in this video? Obviously if skin color was the first requirement, they wouldn't have gotten anywhere.

[BSNFabricating]

Again, my attempts at sarcasm are lost on somebody... Yes, I'm aware the folks who made the videos are white. And no, I wasn't commenting on the whole issue, just the "low and moderate income people of color" part.

It wasn't intended to be taken so seriously... *sigh*

Oh as for ME being dumb, uh, I'll have to get back to you on that...let me recharge my brain cells so I can comment on that one.

[usucdik]

you suck at it, stop trying

[Emossad]

NA! Acorn is corrupted inside out... how do you explain MR. Mickey Mouse going to vote?

[fogofwar3]

Doctored???

- Nice try, not buying it.

[53dumey]

FAKED VIDEOS ??

BULLSHIT !!!

Acorn has 2 Radio Stations and 2 Schools !

One School is named " Acorn High School of Social Justice " !!

I wonder what the Kids learn there ??

How to Suck a Living from the Government ??

PATHETIC !!!

" ..... helping Low and Moderate Income People of Color in this Country "

This is an Exact Quote from this Woman at 4:52 !!!

Should'nt they be helping people of ALL color ??

[killergames187]

This bitch has lied over and over and now she is trying to make this out to be fake??Give ma a brake!!!

[landwehr3]

acorn is toast, FINISHED, DONE and HISTORY!!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

acorn is LOSERS!!

[maxamojaxamo]

i think they have been officially pwned

[TheHandymanJack]

ACORN-SEIU need a full RICO ACT investigation by a Federal Special Prosecutor. However since Obama was their lead trainer and later their attorney I think the only way this will happen is IF America DEMANDS it!. Obama and the Left has benefited greatly from their "work." Furthermore if they have all of these offices who are willing to help total strangers commit child prostitution,human trafficking, tax fraud, embezzlement, mortgage fraud what would they do for Obama and Leftist ideas/goals?

[xxashyy]

Man the more she talks the more I think Beck had a point about ACORN.

[Ben1977820]

Seems like the word "raciest" "race card" always comes into a conversation in the work place or anywhere...In poker you dont show the same hand everytime..change the beat. Give me a beat." Race has nothing to do with it. 300-some odd years ago-- get over it.

[dampsox]

300 years ago? Try 40-50 years. Many of the people who perpetuated these atrocious definitions of racial superiority are still alive. Many of the young, who were raised as believers in this hatred, still believe in it, except it is no longer socially acceptable to do so as it was then. I did not even watch this video, so my comment makes no distinction as to whether or not racism relates in this matter. But don't think Jim Crow laws are forgettable. Well, i guess they are if they don't apply.

[slydez09]

How is helping low and moderate income people of color racist?

[byramtax]

are you serious? how is it racist? this is tax payer money that goes just to a certain race..... it should go to low income people of every race. wow

[blugreenblu]

true.

[harlowsolid]

She's almost as good at slinging BS as Glenn Beck is.

[Mr99Burns]

she's like I'm black and this is cnn why are you attaking me we, its whities falt dont you know

[indacountry]

This is the CEO of Acorn? A government funded organization? Didn't anyone notice her racist admission at the end at 4:50 "...so that we can get back to the work of helping low and moderate income people OF COLOR in this country".

[KMarianneB]

you didnt see tapes of them being told they couldnt be help and you didnt see tapes of them being thrown out of acorn...reasoning why? it never happened! they  were never turned away and never thrown out. maybe if this CEO stopped crappen around and watched a little bit of fox tv, she would know what was going on at her own company..

[gixxermadman]

4 bad apples caught.

No supervisors fired.

Another CEO on the public dole.

[linkin622]

ACORN changed its name today to....''JUST A BUNCH OF NUTS"

[53dumey]

Same reason that NBC and CNN are not Mentioning the fact that Blackwater is Still there and Obama has hired Triple Canopy !

Because it might look bad for Obama !!!

BTW, Acorns only success was also what is bringing them down !

CORRUPTION !!!!!!

[loveispeace12]

This is scary. This is an attempt to attack a group because of their success at working with the poor. Why werent Enron or Halliberton, or Black water, BP and Exxon (investigated and banned or berated by Fox) Acorn, really Acorn is the enemy. This is crazy. BLACK WATER KILLED CHILDREN!!!

[shnagin27]

blah blah blah yeah yeah right shut up you crook.

[tgogo72]

hahaha! now thats funny. Hey ACORN, Abandon Ship, Abandon Ship! the boat is sinkin' fast.

[dvwtp]

Helping low and moderate people of color?? What the hell is that crap! And to think tax payers are helping to fund these organizations?

[gixxermadman]

"Helping low and moderate people of color?? "

That's such a dumb statement - She can't keep race out of her PUBLIC statements!

[dvwtp]

Acorn Blows!

[ZodiacHD]

According to this video, ACORN is for people of color. I was surprised to hear this during this video. When Bertha told Sancehz that their mission was to serve people of color he was unphased, so I guess he already knew about this.

It was news to me (who said that CNN doesnt present the news? ;)

[TheHabush]

its hard out here for a pimp

[mrjet51]

FOX relentlessly attacks an organization that registers poor people to vote and has some corrupt employees BUT they somehow ignore BLACKWATER and HALLIBURTON who have killed our own soldiers, stolen $billions of tax dollars, have corrupt billionaire CEO's who are friends with Presidents and are still funded by Congress.

FAIR & BALANCED ON WHAT?

[53dumey]

YEAH, Just like CNN and MSNBC fail to mention that Blackwater is Still there and that King Obama has hired TRIPLE CANOPY !

As for Acorn, any Taxpayer Org. NEEDS to be looked into and Throughly Investigated if there are any signs of Corruption !!

[gixxermadman]

Yes.

[Cixxpac101]

usa....the land of the FUCK yr all so dum..wake the fuck up we all live on the same planet, yr body is here but yr minds are FUCKD UP!!! yr th onlyones at WAR...FOR WHAT? HEATERS ..lol FUCKING BAD..

[Vamp451]

ACORN and the SEIU were started by criminal white dudes, are still run by crminal white dudes. The sooner negroes realize they are being used for nefarious purposes like money laundering, illegal campaign contributions of tax dollars, embezzlement and fraud, the sooner we can repair the damage done to race relations by the Dummycratic party. Refublicans are no better, GWB signed the legislation to fund the housing division of ACORN, BOTH PARTIES ARE TO BLAME!!!

[bohnstube]

God D*MN!!! DOESN'T BERTHA ON THIS ISSUE JUST PUT THE BEST TAP DANCIN' SHUCKIN' an' JIVEIN' IN THE HISTORY OF BLACK AMERICA TO SHAME??? ...pity it's in just such a horrible and pathetic way. Really really sad.

[yahazif]

This woman is pathetic. Everyone knows now that ACORN is rife with corruption and criminal activity. Her claim that "this is just a handfull of folks" is laughable. The only people who believe this woman are people who choose to believe her for political reasons. But here is what people are thinking. ACORN is giving us a window into the inner workings of the modern American liberal establishment. And what we see is a culture that has lost all feeling for the difference between right and wrong.

[PeterUlmer]

ACORN's toast...See ya...

[53dumey]

Just stating the Truth !!

jdelsmith3 ............. ??

You've got some Strange ass freinds !!

Acorn is Corrupted and needs to be investigated by the DOJ !

A Taxpayer funded Org. also should Not be playing Politics !

[MrSuertez]

lol secret creed

[SecretCreed]

Bitch ain't got no hair...WTF?

Fuck you bitch, no Census and no money for you...you're under the bus with the rest of Obama's "people"

"You don't meet ACORN's standards"

WHAT STANDARDS???

[sdflksdfkfh]

Stupid nigger. Someone ought to lynch this nigger and send her back to Africa.

[jdelsmith3]

nobody told your grandfather to bring her over. This is home now baby. Don't worry, pretty soon, "niggers" will be telling you to go back to Europe. lol

[sdflksdfkfh]

We got some pretty good use out of them for a few hundred years. Now they're mass producing and getting uppity, and running crooked organizations like ACORN.

Unfortunately, though, you're probably right. These niggers will eventually breed to the point where MY race will be in the minority, and they WILL be telling us what to do -- which is why we need to start the lynchings and deportation as soon as possible.

Get as many of these filthy niggers out of my country as we possibly can.

[jdelsmith3]

you are so stupid. Your people have always been in the minority. and their only way to power was to enslave everyone else.Yall are infertile too. (see russian day incentive program) lol but you are a waste of time

[lightuponlight87]

You're the one who needs to be lynched

[shooter297]

Fox News clearlyhas an agaenda when it comes to thier attacks on ACORN. Being the voice for the far-right fringe elements in this country,the last thing they want to see is empowerment on the part of people in urban communities and disinfranchised neighborhoods. Thier repeated attacks on this organizational and it's workers just demonstrates thier bias against anything that helps to empower people from disadvantaged backgorunds.This from an organization who would employ someone like Glenn Beck.

[prverde]

Shame on Rick Sanchez the father of a daughter who should be disgusted and advocate for the children that Acorn wants to help become prostitutes. This lady is a lyar..Acorn has been dealing in corruption for decades and helprd get Obama elected...Shame CNN and Acorn.

I am glad Acorn funds are being taken away and that's why this terpent of a woman is worried but not repentent about the little girls.

[1BMWmech]

I thought acorn was supposed to help all low income people, but she said they want to get back to helping low and moderate income people of color. This sounds like a racial organization. She wants CNN to show the unedited versions of the tapes and then boasts that the two film makers were thrown out of some acorn offices. Where are her tapes to verify that statement?

[StoogeWatcher]

If ACORN is a victim of a smear campaign, why all the firings, arrests, and investigations?

[ponyboy316]

because no business is perfect. Why not trash the military as a whole since a few people decided to dance around naked and drink vodka out of each others butts when they were supposed to be guarding an embassy?

[bohnstube]

Because ummm, maybe it's because the assholes of whom you speak AREN'T MILITARY!!!!! THEY'RE PRIVATE CONTRACTORS! Jeez, get your facts straight before you decide to mouth off and start blowing your ridiculous reasoning which has absolutely NO BASIS IN FACT, out of your butthole!!!

[53dumey]

700 Employees !

A handful of Rotten Apples !

YOU LIE !!!!

Thousands of cases of Voter Fraud !

FACT : Any Organization that recieves Federal Funding cannot play Politics, Yet she has a Utube video asking people to Vote for Obama !

The DOJ NEEDS to Investigate Acorn !!!

[ponyboy316]

explain fox news then.

[tigerone1970]

What a cowards. You go after an organisation that helps homeless people.

If you're so tough, why aren't you in Iraq?

[StoogeWatcher]

The only people ACORN helps is themselves. Are you proud to defend a group that promotes prostitution?

[RyanPaulCommenting]

Breitbart: As we go from ACORN office to ACORN office they seem to be experts at facilitating crime. And how to help the underclass work the system as best they can

This is ORGANIZED CRIME, investigate! Its a national mafia.

[ponyboy316]

grow up. You have no idea what you are talking about. If you did, you would be dead already. That is a mafia.

[alberteinfall]

This is the tip of the iceberg..Thank God For Fox News...

[poodle720]

Amen Amen Amen The HELL with CNN,ABC, CBS, NBC

[jeffmagic32]

She talks about "ACORN standards". What standards? Communist crack whores?

[klalkity]

"I'll repeat it again in case you didn't understand it the first time." LOL. She is 100% right. We are seeing edited, selected clips only. It is not good evidence.

[Bear5177]

I like Rick Sanchez. About as professional as someone like Rachel Maddow in my opinion. And, he doesn't get excited and animated like some of the Fox buffoons.

[morningdreams]

ACORN needs to be stripped of ALL gov't funding.

[LeGioNoFZioN]

she isn't very convincing

[TheBravo345]

Full retreat mode.

[silentonall]

Fire Big Bertha, shut it ALL down!

[Staticnz]

It is true that Fox has been doing everything they possibly can to demonise and delegitimise ACORN, which is totally true.

However, they finally got something substantive on them. Sucks for ACORN...

...but I will even say that it is good that Fox, or whomever actually got some evidence of corruption. Although I could never ever trust their motives, which are purely political.

[verstwo2]

Actually corruption is not he right word. Corruption is when breaks the laws, rules, or regulations in order to personally benefit from it. I don't see how these workers benefited in any way. It was incompetence, not corruption.

[Linda3365]

The word is that the two reporters were not turned away at ANY Acorn office. The man was pretty amazed that he was even asked that question. They have many videos that could be released in the future. Hopefully this will do what is needed.

[waltermh111]

the trumped up part was the idea that its some organisation wide policy to promote prostitution rings just because of a few bad apples.

She doesnt deny the videos and is already fixing the problem.

As long as ACORN keeps helping low income people lead better lives, it deserves some level of funding. Not like it gets much anyway, a drop in the bucket yearly.

Not one prostitution ring paperwork has ever been fiiled, and no proof management is in on anything slimy eiher.

[ScientologyStoners]

That ACORN nut lady is a racist @ 4:50.. get back to our jobs to "help" people of color, yeah by using them for your own means.

[bbbbmer]

governor schwarznegger is a former nazi -- no wonder he hates people of color!

[illdietommorow]

Does he hate people of color? Facts please...

[LoudCitizen]

They were NEVER thrown out of any ACORN office. O'Keefe has testified to this explicitly.

[waltermh111]

So the peopel making the accusation testify they werent kicked out?

Wow, you only really want one side of the story dont you.

Guess your not interested in the truth, only what justifies your beliefs.

Even if it was ACORN policy, statistically they would be kicked out of some office if they went to a decent sampling because of human nature.

[LoudCitizen]

Except, ACORN is not a decent sampling of human nature (or a sampling of decent human nature). If ACORN claims someone was thrown out, they should back up the claim. O'Keefe's videos backup is own claims.

[Cyberkissed]

Bertha should get some popcorn and watch ACORN video #5 while Rick fixes his hair plugs for the next lame CNN-ACORN interview.

[behaack]

In trouble...drop Carl Rove's name. Carl Rove must be behind this.

Bertha...you are still making excuses. And there in lies the problem. You have a history of illegal behavior.

[waltermh111]

but he was, read the emails. She didnt drop his name and make something up

ACORN doesnt have history of illegal behabior

The voter reg issue was not illegal because acorn turned in the false voter reg themselves, their quality control was in place. No law was broken

Second, you ignored her good point that not only was this couple turned out of way more places then the 2 they were helped at, but no management ever got to see these prostitute ring proposals where they might have been turned down

[behaack]

These incidents had NOTHING to do with Rove. Period.

Of course they went to multiple Acorn locations to get these results. However, if you had to eat at a few dozen McDonald resturants to get a case of food poisoning would you be defending McDonalds? No.

Yet Acorn is helping with human trafficing and you are defending this broken organization. That is defending the indefensible.

[waltermh111]

I would defend mcdonalds because even the best restaruant can give food poisoning. statistically its possible with any number of accidents or a bad employee who isnt cooking the meat right.

And ACORN has yet to get even one filing for human trafficing to reach management so how can a few lowly employees represent the whole company?

I wouldbe more worried if they followed through and management accepted paperwork and got things moving.

[stoicsquirrel]

"ACORN doesnt have history of illegal behabior"

They have been in some scandal or another since at least 2004. I don't know about any earlier but, I had started hearing stuff about them in 2004.

[waltermh111]

no, they havent been in scandals since 2004, only 2 so called scandals have been reported.

The first was the voter registration issue which wasnt a scandal since ACORN turned in the perpetrators themselves.

They stopped registration fraud, not any outside force.

conservatives just tried to turn it into a scandal and didnt tell their followers that ACORN was never at fault for anything unethical or illegal because they turned in the wrongdoers themselves.

[waltermh111]

They have just been harping on it for so long that you would think they commited many unspeakable crimes.

Second, nobody has even looked into the other side of this latest matter/

What do the defendents have to say for themselves?

Somebody noticed the defendents seemed to be joking since one ACORN employee commented about killing somebody who guess what, isnt dead

But did anybody yet talk to these accused? No

Video can lie like anything else and I wont pass judgement til I get the full story

[SnakeGartman]

CNN being pro-Acorn. What a surprise.

[waltermh111]

how was it pro-acorn?

He kept trying to beat her up over the same thing over and over, called their voter registration efforts sloppy.

Sure, he was wrong and she handled him well, but he wasnt exactly kind to ACORN.

He also kept trying to make it sound like 2 bad employees made the whole organisation bad and out of thousands of employees during election season, a dozen made the whole org look bad. a dozen that the org itself turned in.

[chrisrei10]

pretty pathetic aint it? CNN is supposed to be THE source for news...yeah, if its only filtered through a liberal slant first...

[1995CRA]

"trumped up" ???????????????

LOL!!!!

[1995CRA]

Acorn is corrupt!

NO MORE FEDERAL MONEY FOR ACORN!

[twilightawakening]

I know right. They had their chance.

[dogcrapgreen]

lol

CNN blurrs the face to protect theACORN lady on tape.

[3star2nr]

wow Glenn Beck needs to be stopped.

[stoicsquirrel]

What does Glenn Beck have to do with this video?

[3star2nr]

he is the ONLY reason anyone is discussing Acorn. he started this nonsense

[stoicsquirrel]

I seem to remember crap being said about ACORN in 2004. I didn't know he even had a show back then.

[3star2nr]

everyone moved on Beck brought it back up part of his grandscheme to undermine the government

[stoicsquirrel]

You DO know that these videos weren't made by Glen Beck OR Fox, don't you?

[3star2nr]

why are you defending Glenn BEck?

[stoicsquirrel]

Because you're bashing the guy for the wrong reasons. The ACORN scandal was not started by him. The videos in this clip weren't made by him. And this isn't even a video from Fox News. Glenn Beck is pretty wacky but, this has nothing to do with him.

Allow me to pose a similar question to you: We are you defending ACORN?

[3star2nr]

Im not defending acorn I dont give a damn about them. Im attacking GLENN BECK

He was the one who kept this issue alive everyone had moved on from this bullshit, from the elections.

BECK, kept bringing up Acorn and told his audience to go out an dig up dirt on them. and this is the result

He did the same thing with van jones, and is going after everyone in Obama's cabinent in an attempt to undermine the president and by extension the country.

Glenn Beck is a fucking traitor to this country.

[stoicsquirrel]

I agree with you on Van Jones. But when somebody is so blinded by race that they can some how turn the Columbine shooting into a racist speech, then he should not be working for the gov'ment

As for ACORN: would you agree that any public group that has that much corruption while receiving government funding is newsworthy? If so, then what's the problem?

"BECK, kept bringing up Acorn and told his audience to go out an dig up dirt on them"

I don't watch him. I didn't know that. Doesn't matter

[3star2nr]

What did van joones have to do with columbine.

That wasnt why he got fired. He got fired because Beck and fox news made a big thing about him signing a 911 truther petition, basically a a document that said bush had prior knowledge of sept 11th. And be cause he said when he was younger that he was a communist.

He at least as far as I know never made any racial comments about the columbine tragedy.

[stoicsquirrel]

He said that only WHITE people would have done that. If that isn't a racist comment, then I don't know what is.

[3star2nr]

come on thats not racist LOL

its stupid but not racist, considering black people commit similar crimes all the timee.

Its like a white guy saying only a black guy would do a driveby. Or only a mexican would do a drive by.

there really isnt anything racist about that statement.

it is a bit stereotypucal, but i ewouldnt call it racist.

[stoicsquirrel]

Umm...yeah....I really don't know what to say...I'm at a loss for words. I don't think you know what racism is.

[3star2nr]

Its a word thats tossed around WAYY WAY too much. saying something stereotypical is not racist.

saying it witrh malicious intentent or to show one race's superiority over the other

[chrisrei10]

you should be thanking him about Van Jones...that man is a communist slimeball....

[verstwo2]

Glenn Beck 'broke' the 'story'.

I'm not sure what else could be considered 'starting the scandal. For weeks and week Beck has been trying to 'pin' something on Acorn. And now he's succeeded.

[chrisrei10]

funny how it didnt take much effort to find something on Acorn?

[chrisrei10]

people have been discussing Acorn for years....its been investigated many times for fraud....voter registration fraud, and other scams as well...and Acorn puts itself in the news with its "community" organizing rallies outside banks to force lending in areas of high risk...you know, the areas where people dont pay back the loans they were given ridiculously low interest rates on..and yet they have a bluetooth in one ear and an ipod in the other?

[backrubs62]

Glenn Beck isnt doing anything. He nor Fox paid these kids to go make these videos. they did it on their own, they have said this over and over this past week

[3star2nr]

beck came up with the idea.

[backrubs62]

how do you figure this? these two had never said it was anyones idea but themselves

[3star2nr]

please those clowbs can think for themselves? Beck had a program where he told his audience to go out and dig up dirt on anyone in the admin. on acorn and anyone around obama.

he did it after the van jones saga

[stoicsquirrel]

That's nothing more than an uneducated guess.

[shipwrekd]

wholy crap a unbiased interview on cnn... might even watch every now and then

[gonadcancervictim]

well you see acorn gets money from the government ie me and you the investigators dont get money from us so I dont really care what they do

[CosmosPrivateer]

The funny thing is if the videos were of large banking or corporations high level people It would have been yanked from YouTube all ready.

[voyeurdug]

An investigation of the people """"investigating"""" ACORN would be more revealing and productive. If that's what Ahhnuld has in mind, I'm for it.

[sshuffield70]

Rick was doing fine until he got sucked in at the end.
