I can only imagine how many more ACORNs there are...

The audacity of corruption by this administration leaves one breathless.

Hannah and James are incredible. Great job and they are very brave.

The two of them did what every supposed professional “journalist” refused to do or any law enforcement agency.

Well, I see that the MSM is finally beginning to report on the biggest story in the country, fully a WEEK after everyone else in America already found out about it.

Quick! Someone get a copy of the Washington Post to “Sorry Charlie” Gibson. He said that he hasn’t heard anything about the 9/12 March on DC or the fall of ACORN.

Make sure to drop a copy off to Bill “75K” O’Reilly while you’re at it. He’s pretty clueless too.

Congress has taken action. Thursday the House voted 345 to 75 to defund the organization, handing conservative Republicans a major victory. They have long seen the liberal group -- which offers housing and other services, including voter registration, to the poor -- as a shady operation devoted to electing liberals and siphoning off taxpayer money for a permanent underclass.

No WaPo, it is a victory for the American taxpayer and a triumph for real journalism, something you a**holes have not done for decades.

I wonder if WaPo would have described the Watergate investigation and Nixon's resignation as a major victory for liberal Democrats.

Doesn’t take much to “fell” this group then.

In the artcle it says O’Keefe calls himself a progressive radical, not a conservative.

Isn’t it strange how many “O” people are prominent right now on the political scene? Obama, Oprah, O’Reilley, O’Keefe, Olberman? Relevant to nothing, but something I noticed.

O'Keefe, 25, packed his grandfather's old wide-brimmed derby hat from his swing-dancing days, his grandmother's ratty chinchilla shoulder throw, and a cane he bought at a dollar store, then drove from his parents' home in northern New Jersey to the District to execute the idea with Giles, 20.

There was a lot more considerations than that.

If the Post had hired real journalists like Giles and O’Keefe instead of liberal propagandists, maybe it wouldn’t be going broke.

Typical hit piece by the WasPo... but they finally were forced to cover it.

O'Keefe, who described himself as an investigative journalist with no formal training, said he bought his won $300 plane ticket to California to visit ACORN sites in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego

Doesn't anyone read these articles before they publish/post them?

Note the spin here. The legacy media can’t ignore the story now, but the can minimize and mis-direct.

“Congress has taken action.” Not final action buddy. No law is in effect yet. No federal investigations underway. No one in jail. Sorry Charlie, this ain’t over by any means...

“rejects liberal suggestions that the videos were bankrolled by conservative organizations. He does, however, acknowledge receiving help and advice from a conservative columnist and Web entrepreneur. “ Look folks, when 60 Minutes does a story, we don’t care who pays their bills. We do care if the material they present is accurate, fair and complete. Any other standard proposed by the WaPo and it’s ilk is a reflection that Breitbart is COMPETITION.

“fan clubs and testimonial walls. “Hannah Giles is HOTT!” Legacy media envy is showing. And they get to display their childishness in such a manner as to minimize their own failures. The obvious take being that if two “kids” can pull this off, where the hell was the WaPo, et al.

“Though O’Keefe described himself as a progressive radical, not a conservative, he said he targeted ACORN for the same reasons that the political right does: its massive voter registration drives that turn out poor African Americans and Latinos against Republicans.” Racist much? Note the lack of direct quote people.

Spin. And fear. Note the speed with which the House and Senate have acted. Obama really wants this to go away. As in yesterday. It won’t. We need to follow through. Jail time for the guilty, and the end of SEIU and ACORN as organizations, including all their interlocking related entities.
