From the way Beck talked last night, this is not the end of it — more to come. And the theme we need to help Glenn pound home is:

I hope they don’t think it ends with these firings.
ACORN must go.
ACORN’s response...very laughable!
Statement from Margaret Williams, Board Member, Maryland ACORN
September 10, 2009
Fox’s attempt to smear ACORN Thursday September 10, 2009 is despicable, part of a coordinated, long-term campaign by Fox to damage ACORN, the premiere community organization of low- and moderate-income people in the United States. Every day ACORN members are working for health care reform, living wage jobs, to end the foreclosure crisis, and to strengthen our public schools. For its part, Fox is running a campaign to demonize ACORN. They will get attention, but they will not succeed.
In July 2009, Fox agents attempted to enter ACORN offices in New York, in Philadelphia, in San Diego, in Los Angeles, and possibly other locales. In each case they were turned away, and in Philadelphia ACORN staff were concerned enough that a police report was filed. In Baltimore, the Fox squad deceived ACORN staff by consistently misrepresenting their intentions. No tax returns were filed and no assistance was provided. But the ACORN personnel in question have been terminated because their handling of the Fox agents provocateurs did not meet ACORN’s standards of professionalism.
The larger pattern of Fox’s irresponsible actions here is the real news. From Glenn Beck calling President Obama a racist, to Fox inciting racism and threats of violence with the Teaparties, to Fox unleashing a hit job on ACORN the day after an inspiring Presidential healthcare speech before Congress, Fox has long since abandoned any journalistic pretense. It is clear and not coincidence that FOX continues to attack and divide our nation along racial lines. We believe our country is beyond this type of attack and call on all Americans to demand that FOX stop its racist coverage.

I am enjoying watching this as it is not coming all at once but drip, drip, drip!
Stossel will fit right in (big grin).
If they got caught with one you know there are thousands of others.
Absolutely. Having watched the videos, those women talked confidently and knew good and well what they were doing...there's no way this was their first time committing fraud or tax evasion.
I sent a fax to my congressman’s Washington office and his local office here. Asked him to do what he could to cut the funding to ACORN.
I keep reading about calls for hearings on this, we’ll see if that goes anywhere.
They will be re-hired at a different office within a week. This organization stinks. Where are republicans in congress, demanding investigations and holding press conferences?
With the FBI’s 11 arrests and the combined 4 employees from the ACORN housing offices, a total of 15 members of ACORN relieved IS NOT ENOUGH! I’m happy to see that SOMETHING is happening but this is not even a dent. This needs to be brought to the federal level and have funding cut.
That would bring them down.
Wasn't bubba xlinton's secy Maggie Williams - a rather large, obese black woman? IIRC, she helped to clean out Vince Foster's office and eventually "migrated" to France to live for awhile.
Tip of the iceberg.
The only way the MSM will report this story...is if Glenn Beck and Fox are charged under some civil offense for privacy taping.
And don’t think ACORN isn’t thinking about it.
CUT ALL FEDERAL FUNDING!
I agree, where are our SPINELESS so called leaders on the right?
PATHETIC!!
The MSM have challenges to reporting news which does not fit their world view. They are not relevant anymore.
I agree: cut ALL federal funding to ACORN, in all its incarnations.
BTW,pretty funny one lady warns: Don’t think neighbors won’t see stuff and get on the phone and call FOX.
