On Thursday’s American Morning program on CNN, co-anchor Kiran Chetry failed to mention ACORN’s name during a news brief about the law enforcement raid on the liberal organization’s local headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, as part of an investigation into allegations of voter fraud. Chetry called ACORN a “non-profit group” that was “disputing claims it committed voter registration fraud.”

If CNN was reporting on Joe Stalin’s transport of peasants to Siberia, they’d call him an agrarian reformer.

OK. This is beyond ridiculous now. This country is being systematically destroyed from within. The question now is what will be the spark to get people to actually do something about, or if enough people even care. What is happening in America today is frightening.

The MSM is the P.R. organ of the democrat party, nothing more.

No need to get mad, understand they are the enemy and treat them as such. They can’t stop us from passing around this video...yet.

Inside Obama’s Acorn:
By their fruits ye shall know them

Stanley Kurtz, May 29, 2008

"What if Barack Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along? Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. Acorn is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because Acorn works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. Acorn likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama."

I would ask Obama and all of his supporters at CNN: if Obama must lie about himself—to such an extent that he is presented as opposite his real self—in order to win, doesn’t it mean the real Obama is vastly inferior?

I listened to CNN in the car this morning (Sirius) to see what they were saying about ACORN. There was nothing. It was all about the economy. FOX was all over this story and have been non-stop. We have to accept the fact that it’s going to be up to “we the people” to drag McCain over the finish line. (I stole that from Rush) We also have to support the friendly media like FOX, Rush, Laura, Sean, Levin, etc. Maybe this is God’s test for us. How bad do we want to save this country? We have to continue to fight up to election day. And come Nov 5, we need to keep up the fight....... because it matters.

She wasn't sure how to pronounce it, so she decided to play it safe.

I guess CNN doesn't mind that Lou Dobbs is going after CNN NOW
on his show.

I guess this is how CNN tries to be all things to all people.

Forget journalism. It no longer exists. We’re fighting a war with the so-called “journalists” in this country. The truth is, this is a propaganda war between the establishment and the rest of us. They’re trying to take over the part of the country that they don’t already have their filthy hands on: the liberty, property, hearts and minds of people who still believe in this country. I used to make fun of the notion, but I’m wondering now whether it will boil over to something worse, if it can get much worse. It certainly won’t be all goodness and light come January, no matter what the fifth column in the country tells us.

What the hell has happened to journalism in this country. ...

Leftists took over at the top. Leftists hired leftists. Leftists canned conservatives.
Voila' now leftists set the agenda driven "news".

I know you already knew that, but there it is in a nutshell.

It got taken over by communists ... a couple of generations ago. They're just following in the deceitful footsteps of that putrid liar Walter Cronkite.

I stopped by Lou Dobbs on the way back to Glen Beck. I was surprised when Dobbs made the Obama/ACORN connection.

I watched CNN for two years (because I thought Fox was a bit biased) ... but since this election I have stopped watching that Obama Propaganda Network. Just go their website, and almost every article is either attacking (falsely) McCain or odes to Obama .

You think that many people actually know what is happening

If they did McCain would be ahead by at least 20%

Unfortunately the majority still get their news and are controlled by the MSM
