ACORN: Victim of Beck's racist smear campaign
Examiner ^ | 9/10/09 | Michael Stone

Posted on 09/10/2009 6:48:10 PM PDT by pissant

ACORN is the latest victim of Fox news personality Glenn Beck's racist smear campaigns. Beck aired a staged video on his program entrapping a couple of low level members of ACORN. ACORN is a non-profit organisation that works to serve low income and working Americans.

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the nation's largest community organization of low and moderate income families, working together for social justice and stronger communities. These are good Americans working for the benefit of those less fortunate.

ACORN has over 400,000 members and more than 850 neighborhood chapters in over 100 cities across the United States. In addition, ACORN has chapters in Argentina, Canada, Mexico, and Peru.

Beck finds two questionable low level members of ACORN who were set up by a couple of right wing operatives and tries to smear the whole organisation. Beck wants to argue that two out of 400,000 makes an entire organisation corrupt? His logic, as always, is ridiculously inadequate. Beck is not interested in truth, he is interested in sensationalism and feeding the right wing fringe.

Beck is no stranger to controversy. Beck recently brought shame to himself and his network by accusing President Obama of being a racist. As a result of his disgraceful behavior Beck's program is the subject of a large and successful boycott.

Beck's racist and demented rantings are humorous to many, and by some estimates at least half of his audience watches not for news, but entertainment. Beck, always the buffoon, is a constant source of rantings and hysterics. He is a clown.

That Fox even allows Beck to broadcast is an indication that the network lacks any journalistic standards or integrity. This should not be a story. Yet irresponsible right wing journalists are propping up Beck's smear campaign, some out of ignorance, and some out of malicious intent.

It all comes back to the fact that some Americans, a frightened and ignorant minority, can not accept Barack Obama as president. Beck seduces these gullible and weak minded folks, telling them all sorts of outrageous tales, feeding their fear and hysteria. If such people were not so dangerous, the whole thing would be comical.

So...a person can do ANYTHING illegal and get away with it as long as he/she is African-American. Did I get that right?

The criminal left cannot stand the light of truth. We knew the race card would be played almost daily when Obama was elected. No surprise. It will just get worse.

How about do a real piece of journalism instead of an editorial/opinion piece and investigate ACORN, big boy. No doubt if you did, you could provide a better counter to Becks ACORN facts? It might also save you from using the over-used race card, as well, kkthx. =.=

LOL, that was entrapment??? Those ACORN buffoons were experts on breaking the law, offering all kinds of advice how to cheat on taxes, how to conceal your crimes, what lies to tell to get mortgages. How can that be construed as entrapment. They weren’t offered anything.

I don't really understand how helping to set up a brothel with underage girls from Central America as prostitutes would help produce "social justice and stronger communities." I guess the thirteen and fourteen year olds who would be put into the sex trade are the "less fortunate."

Yeah let me guess, the ACORN employees both had guns put to their heads and were forced to give advice on how to bring children in from other countries to be sex slaves. Yep, I saw the video, I did see the gun, it was put to put of their heads

If you were to find out someone is planning to set up a prostitution ring using underage girls smuggled into the country (read sex slaves),what would you do with that information?

So, Michael Stoned, in your mind Beck is a racist because two black women at ACORN try and defraud the US government in an IRS scam to help what would be an illegal prostitution schem that would also exploit underage children.

Somehow in your sick, twisted mind, that makes Beck a racist?

Well, I have news for you Michael. YOU are the racist. You comments infer that Beck took advantage of these black woman and that therefore, any black woman could be taken advantage of in usch a manner. You sick, bastard.

Most black woman would recoil in horror from this notion and would have told these two people (the journalist and guy posing as a prostitute and her handler) to turn their lives around and do something LEGAL for a living. They would have wholly rejected the notion.

White, black, brown, yellow, red...whatever...these liberals wanted to help push and agenda and were willing to get involved in a criminal conspiracy to do so.

ACRON is a criminal conspiracy against the people and governemtn of the United States.

“ACORN has over 400,000 members and more than 850 neighborhood chapters in over 100 cities across the United States. In addition, ACORN has chapters in Argentina, Canada, Mexico, and Peru.” —prattled Michael Stone.

So what, Michael Stone?

Termites, cockroaches, vermin, as well as syphilitics, drug addicts, meth heads, bank robbers, crackpots and crack users are to be found in every city in our nation and most countries.

The fact that there are so many ACORN members does not lend them any additional credibility or value. In fact, it illustrates how they have spread through guile and corruption.

from the piece:
“frightened and ignorant minority, can not accept Barack Obama as president.”

I'll be as blunt as I can be to this author. I am not frightened, nor am I ignorant, but I can and will take the writer and this impostor of an American and President downtown. This is the kind of utterance that the author and the president (small cap intentional) can muster up and is to be expected. No intellect, only empty suits.

It’s hard to be a pimp. What with importing child prostitutes from Central America and then having to pay for their upkeep; they don’t ALWAYS pay their own way. A pimp’s gotta be able to get a deduct now and then even if you aren’t paying your fair share of taxes...
