ACORN: The Official Thread

[Kurosawa]

That is really cute. You are like some sort of Magic 8 Ball. Always saying the same things, not matter the subject. Not that they did anything wrong, it's just the Evil Conservatives are all Racists.

Just like how you say the Lazy Liberals are all Leeches?

 

[Kurosawa]

Yeah, offering cigarettes and money to go vote for a specific person is helping those minorities vote! Voter fraud is still voting right!?

I'm sure most of what they do is legit, and they have a few jerks who do bad things that their opponents blow out of proportion.

 

[chaseter]

Yes. But, isn't that the truth about nearly everything that people complain about from both sides?

 

[Kelly]

Yep, if my taxpayer $$$$$$ were going to fund these 9/12 Rallies I would be just as pissed as I am that my taxpayer money is going to fund Acorn.

Until the organization is cleaned up, and the people at the lower levels are regulated better....I don't want my money going there.

$50 someone draws double entendre on racism.

It just seems like a flat, "meh" joke. Not racist, it's not like they put that sign on a Chicken Coop.

According to ACORN, this is a scam that was funded by FOX News. ACORN has contacted their lawyers and have determined what FOX has done was criminal since they taped that video without any of the party's consent. ACORN has since submitted a letter to FOX to cease and desist on that matter.

 

[Paradyme]

Spin, spin, spin.

 

[chaseter]

HAHAHA. Who cares if the undercover film maker was a Fox employee. What ACORN still did was wrong. FAIL.

 

[dnno1]

Spin, spin, spin.

If somebody's attorney writes a letter to cease and deist, and has cause for accusing someone of committing a crime, that is not spin. That's serious.

HAHAHA. Who cares if the undercover film maker was a Fox employee. What ACORN still did was wrong. FAIL.

If you notice in the videos, you never see the so called pimp and hooker actually telling the ACORN employees that they were a pimp and a hooker and furthermore they were on camera with out the permission of ACORN or their employees, which is against the law in Maryland (note that the ACORN employees knew nothing about them being a pimp or a hooker). Not spin, just payback.

 

[chaseter]

OH! But, giving advice for what to do with 14 year old sex slaves and how to get around tax laws is alright!? Are you serious? Watch the video. If you think ACORN was not in the wrong any at all then well..............................................................

Yes! Payback! Get them back for catching us on camera doing things against the law!!! GET 'EM!!! The videographers should get in trouble if it is against the law. But, if you are defending ACORN then I am completely bewildered.

This has happened in more locations than just Maryland and they have specified in every video that I've seen that she was a hooker, which would imply that he is her pimp.

Maybe a more fitting thing for me to have put down rather than spin is lie, lie, lie.

That's just it. ACORN's claim is that the film was doctored after the interview, so the party involved did not know about the sex slaves. It is pay back in that they committed a crime. Unless they can disclose the full unedited interview that shows that they did disclose that the guy was a pimp and the woman was a hooker and they wanted to bring sex slaves in the country, which was not offered in the posted video.

You can hear them ask questions and they reply. That isn't edited

 

[SuBe]

I heard the Audio. He said she was a Prostitute. He was asked what her profession was. He said Prostitute. The Lady from ACORN knew full well what she was answering.

 

[dnno1]

Yeah, you hear the reply, but what were the questions specifically (that came from the clients, not the narrator)? That we do not know for sure and they could have asked them anything other than that they were doing something illegal.

You can't be so partisan to believe that foolishness. All the 'poor victims' acknowledged the prostitution and tax evasion themselves in the video, regardless of whether you want to believe the narration is edited.

The argument that the ACORN workers should have been notified of the camera may have some merit, but there is no argument that the workers didn't knoww exactly what they were doing and what they were saying.

 

[SuBe]

My definition of Leech is someone or something taking something that isn't their's by force. What do you call using Government to take Money from those that earn it to give to those that don't or spend on programs that benefit disproportionately on those that didn't earn the money in the first place? Leech.


You can't say that a group of people that fight for the rights of the individual to provide for their own is a Racist.

 

[Backdrifter]

ACORN= That old chestnut when you tire of Birth Certificates and Tea parties.

This isn't an argument. This is a politically-biased reaction to this report. How can anyone defend this kind of behavior happening at two separate ACORN branches? I am just amazed to see anyone get behind this. Defending child sex-slave 'owners'? Are you kidding me?

 

[Kelly]

Actually its up to 4....and rumor is, there are more....

Hey, the fact of the matter is that there is a letter written to Roger Ailes ot cease and desist with citations of laws that were broken. I have only reported what has taken place and it looks like there is a legitimate beef.

 

[Backdrifter]

I just...

I don't know what to even say to some of the people in here... I am so disappointed right now. So very disappointed.

 

[chaseter]

I also cannot believe the length that some people go to defend blatant crap

[Backdrifter]

This is truly a landmark low point for the political forums.
