Journalists Visited Local ACORN Office

NBC San Diego (local channel) ^ | Sep 16, 2009 | GENE CUBBISON

I seldom watch Jon Stewart, but his bit on this is probably one of the best pieces of TV of all time! The punchline:

"I'm a fake journalist and I'm embarrassed these guys scooped me"

is a classic!

[ROTB]

Our office here in San Diego is no different. I think what is important is that every day we are saving people from foreclosure,

**************************8

This inspired my new tagline...

Last night Breitbart insinuated that there may be tapes of Giles and O’Keefe “attempting” to sell the story to major media.

He would neither confirm or deny that there is tape.

I busted out with a full on belly laugh when Stewart yelled...”ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME!?”

[Terpfen]

"We're helping families to become new citizens that are eligible for that."

Is this an admission that ACORN is falsifying citizenship papers, Social Security Numbers, or other such identification for illegal aliens?

[Secret Agent Man]

Also probably a candidate for Understatement of the Year.

[GeronL]

Wow, the NBC affiliate in San Diego was pretty fair in that report. No holds barred either.

[Mad Dawgg]

"I'm a fake journalist and I'm embarrassed these guys scooped me"

I was drinking Jack Daniels and Pepsi when I caught that bit and got 3rd degree Pepsi burns in my nose!

Funniest bit I have seen in a good while!

Great quote:

“What’s coming into focus now is that ACORN itself may be at the epicenter of the economic and political crises facing this country.”
-Michael Rosen, secretary of the San Diego County Republican Party

Poor ACORN. They're the victims of an unscrupulous undercover team. I guess you're only guilty if you're caught. And if someone catches you, you're a victim.

"I think what is important is that every day we are saving people from foreclosure,” said David Lagstein with California ACORN prior to San Diego video's release. “Fighting for access to health care. We're helping families to become new citizens that are eligible for that."

He left out "We're helping to smuggle child sex slaves into the country."

“Funny how liberals don’t understand what words mean.”

Oh but they do. They really do understand what the words mean. They just don’t want the words to mean something against them, so they will them to mean something else, or they project their guilt upon those who expose them.

It’s SOP for the Libs.

[milagro]

WHOA!! "ACORN itself might be at the epicenter of the economic and political crises facing this country."

I know this is a quote in the article from the secretary of the San Diego Republican party, but that it would even appear in this article is AMAZING!

If the collapse of the housing industry and the economic downturn that resulted from it can be tied to ACORN and the "politics of corruption" that Democrats nodded and winked at (Chris Dodd and Barney Frank come instantly to mind), there is going to be hell to pay at the polls come next Novemeber, and most of the "casualties" are going to be incumbent Dims!

[hobson]

So it's only a crime once paperwork is filed?

Yep, they're obviously well trained.

I'm just waiting to see the headline, "ACORN Promotes/Supports Slavery".

[jcsjcm]

“Fighting for access to health care. We're helping families to become new citizens that are eligible for that."

They are trafficking in illegals so they can make them new citizens so that they can apply for OUR housing (tax-payer money) and health care. What is wrong with this picture. We tell our elderly folks that nope, no pay raise for social security - but we have to help the illegal people to get your benefits.

[pfflier]

Earlier in the day, local ACORN officials, at an office in National City, said they were upset over the fallout and admitted that the undercover filmmakers paid a visit to them. They say no "paperwork" wound up being filed

Does that mean they're as inefficient as they are corrupt?

[I see my hands]

"has gotten a black eye"

Um, er, hack fap!

[Winstons Julia]

oh yeah ... the mainstream media DID cover the story tonight...on abc. They had the head of ACORN charging...

guess what she charged the people exposing this with?

Just guess?

Hint: It starts with an “r”.

[milagro]

"Become new citizens"?--as in, aiding and abetting illegal immigration, and turning a blind eye to those "new citizens" who are clearly engaged in drug smuggling and human trafficking!

And then, these people try to defend themselves as champions of "civil rights' when they are in fact stepping all over themselves to help a "pimp and a whore" break all kinds of laws and engage in the "profitable" business of exploiting under-age females?

EXCUSE ME? !:(
