BREITBART: The politicized art behind the ACORN plan ("it ain't over yet")
Washington Times ^ | 9-21-09 | Andrew Breitbart

Posted on 09/20/2009 8:23:36 PM PDT by icwhatudo

"They were not going to report this blockbuster unless they were forced to. And they were. What's more, it ain't over yet. Not every hint I dropped in that piece about what was to come has played itself out yet. Stay tuned."

----snip----

"High praise to you, Mr. Stewart. It's nice to see there's someone out there in liberal media-land who would recognize there's something terribly wrong on these videos. And yes, there are more to come."

At the very least, filmmaker James O'Keefe and actress Hannah Giles deserve a Pulitzer Prize for their expose of deep corruption and unspeakable immorality at the ACORN housing division. But more important, I won't rest until they receive a grant to continue their partisan artistry from the National Endowment for the Arts.

That's this week's mission. "

There may be some kick-backs from the “EIC” - EARNED INCOME CREDIT - which are “donated” back to the ACORN Office/Personnel who managed to “discover” these refund checks for the “poor”.

Remember, crooks don’t do anything for free.

Check the income tax records of the “poor” and see if there are any “donations” back to the tax preparer i.e. ACORN/COI.

Just a thought...

I’ve watched too many mafia movies :-)

ROFLOL!

I am sitting here drinking a Coke and good thing I hadn’t just taken a drink when I read your comments. I have been chuckling ever since.

Haven’t laughed this much in a long time as I have with the drip, drip, drip of Breitbart and comments on here. :)

Wow, an excellent point! It just shows how deeply entrenched in ideology they so-called “MSM” has become when you realize that by abandoning the principles that journalism was built on, they’ve sown the seeds of their own destruction.

The real scandal is ACORN=Obama. This was his main “qualification” to be POTUS.

Imagine if he got an NEA worker to say a prostitute could be a “performing artist” and therefore could qualify for government grants.

I'm kind of hoping this new set of blockbuster news isn't 'sex' related. The 'fringe' media can start to say it doesn't consider such tawdry, TMZ-type information 'news. They are too sophisticated to give credence to such crass individuals.

Yes, I'm hoping this is some other big deal, such as government grants to someone specifically asking to make something horrifically racist or offensive (like what's going on at the Metropolitan Opera right now with their production of Tosca).

And here is the imbecile Governor of Florida sucking up to ACORN while telling conservatives to go pound sand.

Time of reckoning is drawing near.

"Going undercover is a time-honored tradition in journalism, but the use of pretend identities and hidden cameras can be dicey and even dangerous. Anytime we use deception - even a little bit - we run the risk of crossing an ethical line, and we need strong justification to use the method," said Robert Steele, media ethicist for the Poynter Institute.

LOL! Reminds me of the concerns somberly intoned by “experts” and “ethicists” when caller ID became available.

Get with it, Bub, hidden vid is here to stay.

"Tomorrow at noon ET, explosive new information will answer that question and raise many others."

Okay, what am I missing? Where did you see the noon ET reference?

I've been wondering...since Giles and O'Keefe got the ACORNs to help them with child trafficking, molestation, prostitution, and tax evasion, and none of them batted an eye....why not push even harder?

Would they agree to set up a kiddie porn business? Run drugs? How about "eliminating" someone who gets on your nerves?

Got it. From the Pre-Game report on BigGovernment.com

Phew . . had to dig around for a while to find what was staring in the face! Now I can sleep.

So let me guess.....Hannah and James made a video or audio trying to get grants from the White House and/or NEA for obama propaganda?

Oh, I think it will be much more blatant than that.
