ACORN to sue for being caught breaking the law
Written by Michael Vass
Last week, video was released revealing that the Baltimore offices of ACORN had no problem introducing a brothel of underage illegal aliens to a likely unsuspecting neighborhood. It was a shock and I wrote about that.
ACORN responded to the video, and the FOX News coverage (NBC, CBS, and the other major news media seemed to find fraud uninteresting), by initially ascerting that the video was false. They then took the normal corporate (and political - think Hillary Clinton before and during the Primaries) out in stating that this was a unique situation with 2 rogue representatives. ACORN assumed none of the responsibility and fired the 2 women involved.
Then the very next day, video of the exact same scenario taking place in Washington D.C. was revealed. And again ACORN denied responsibility, as well as firing 2 more employees.
This morning there is another video of an ACORN office in Brooklyn. Is anyone seeing a pattern?
Well now ACORN has decided that they need to sue. They want to go after the filmmaker and FOX News. The filmmaker is obvious - he is the one catching them city after city as ACORN members discuss how to defraud the Government, withhold taxes, and commit crimes. And FOX News is involved because they covered the news story when no other network would touch it.
It takes real big balls to sue someone for catching you break the law, and sue other people for letting the public know about it. It takes balls to imply a racial aspect to why someone might want to reveal you breaking the law. All the while you are getting paid billions (roughly $5 billion from the Obama Stimulus as I recall) with public money.
And if you think I’m taking this out of context, here are the words of ACORN
Notice that this is the fault of FOX News. Because even though they did not make the video, nor are the people in the video their employees, it has to be their fault. And note the touch of “they hate minorities” that’s in this statement. Just don’t pay attention to the fact that it is the ACORN employees that are violating the law.
But it gets better. ACORN claims that this is also a way to distract from the Health Care Reform Bill. You know, that piece of legislation that every poll in existence says the majority of Americans don’t want since August and Democrats are trying to pass anyway.
“It is not coincidence that the most recent attacks have been launched just when health care reform is gaining traction. It is clear they’ve had these tapes for months.”
If this is what Liberals call gaining traction on health care, they really see the world in a slanted view. And as for the timing, well it does take a while to go city to city and find massive amounts of corruption. Then you have to edit the tapes. But aside from all that, ACORN employess seemingly across the country are breaking the law. So what does it matter when the tapes come out?
This implies this is not rogue employees, but a systemic purposive direction from the organization itself. But if you see that, ACORN believes you must be a Right-wing, racist, Republican without a soul. But again, don’t pay attention as your taxes go to pay for them to break the law.
“This recent scam, which was attempted in San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia to name a few places, had failed for months before the results we’ve all recently seen. I am appalled and angry; I cannot and I will not defend the actions of the workers depicted in the video, who have since been terminated. But it is clear that the videos are doctored, edited, and in no way the result of the fabricated story being portrayed by conservative activist “filmmaker” O’Keefe and his partner in crime. And, in fact, a crime it was - our lawyers believe a felony - and we will be taking legal action against Fox and their co-conspirators.”
This is a scam? If it’s a scam who is losing money, besides taxpayers funding an organization that apparently supports criminals? Back a decade or so things like this were called investigative reporting. It just happened to not be by a news organization.
And while ACORN seems willing to name places across the country it did not work, there are plenty were it seems it did. Including in NYC, a place they said was a failure. But honestly, it shouldn’t happen anywhere - especially not on my tax dime.
And while it is editied, when I listen to the guy say “there is a tax code for prostitution?” and the immediate timestamped answer is “performing artist”, or when ACORN employees repeatedly say “don’t say prostitute anymore” well that isn’t doctored.
And I wonder if my blog, as well as hunderds of others, will be included in that conspiracy to spread awareness of ACORN breaking the law.
Oh, if ACORN didn’t do anything wrong, why are they firing so many people? And if this isn’t news, what the hell is?
“ACORN members are committed to the empowerment of their communities - Black, Latino, poor, and working families – at the deepest level. We are an organization committed to halting the foreclosure crisis and keeping people in their homes.”
Empowerment of who? Keeping who in homes? Crackheads and gangs? Meth labs and pimps? Illegal aliens? Because the video really makes you wonder who ACORN is helping, how and why.
No matter how ACORN, liberal and democrat supporters, want to twist these events we are all left with a single thought. Billions of tax dollars have gone to an organization that apparently is willing to cheat the Government and improve the lives of criminals - among others. Why would anyone want to support that?
