The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.

Fox's attempt to smear ACORN Thursday September 10, 2009 is despicable, part of a coordinated, long-term campaign by Fox to damage ACORN, the premiere community organization of low- and moderate-income people in the United States. Every day ACORN members are working for health care reform, living wage jobs, to end the foreclosure crisis, and to strengthen our public schools. For its part, Fox is running a campaign to demonize ACORN. They will get attention, but they will not succeed.
In July 2009, Fox agents attempted to enter ACORN offices in New York, in Philadelphia, in San Diego, in Los Angeles, and possibly other locales. In each case they were turned away, and in Philadelphia ACORN staff were concerned enough that a police report was filed. In Baltimore, the Fox squad deceived ACORN staff by consistently misrepresenting their intentions. No tax returns were filed and no assistance was provided. But the ACORN personnel in question have been terminated because their handling of the Fox agents provocateurs did not meet ACORN's standards of professionalism.
The larger pattern of Fox's irresponsible actions here is the real news. From Glenn Beck calling President Obama a racist, to Fox inciting racism and threats of violence with the Teaparties, to Fox unleashing a hit job on ACORN the day after an inspiring Presidential healthcare speech before Congress, Fox has long since abandoned any journalistic pretense. It is clear and not coincidence that FOX continues to attack and divide our nation along racial lines. We believe our country is beyond this type of attack and call on all Americans to demand that FOX stop its racist coverage.

Of course she's correct - Obama has their backs, no matter what amount of corruption is found.
Fart proudly Margaret! Fart proudly!
One day ALL of these people will face justice.
LLS
How very droll....sort of like ‘Baghdad Bob’ if you axe me. Honestly, I don’t know how this bitch kept a straight face when she dictated her statement to the media lapdog that recorded it (I say recorded, because I seriously doubt he/she has the faculties to write).
"Its only sex slavery. Elections have consequences."
Oh, you poor smeared upon Communists. There is a smearer around every corner. BOO!
Go ahead commies make the word smear as meaningless as you are making the word racism.
Ha.
Fools.
Am I on the Daily Kos?
Sorry...but all four women involved on the videos were told, foreign underage girls were being brought in for the sex, slave trade. And they found this to be just fine.
This organization should be closed down...and I don’t mean Fox.
Oooooh ..... the 'r' word. The real news is that Acorn has smeared themselves without any help from FOX and yet again overplayed the 'racist' card ..... being called a 'racist' these days is fast becoming a badge of honor.
Acorn has standards?
Operation Rescue got litigated to death for trying to save babies. Why can’t the same thing be done to this very obvious and very real ‘criminal enterprise’.
the bottom line is that your org gives council and advice on how to pay taxes on money earned from underage sex with children
LOL! Hilarious pic!
Pathological liars are renowned for their ability to ‘keep a straight face’ whilst telling an outrageous lie.
[just watch O’Kenya when he talks...uh...sorry...reads from his teleprompter]
Margie, you make me laugh and wretch at the same time! ACORN should just go ahead and change it’s name to AHOLES!
I think it's important to know what the opposition is saying......
>ACORN, the premiere community organization of low- and moderate-income people in the United States.
No, you acorn nuts are a front organization for democrats who cleverly
sign up democrat voters to insure their system of bilking the taxpayer
is propagated. While we the working people of America watch our paychecks
shrink to support your socialist agenda and lazy clients,
you lie and cheat your way on easy street.
Fox News just reports on your scam and you naturally cry racism. Your black skin
should not be a free ride in America, nor should your criminal acts be ignored any longer.
Keep crying racism while America crumbles under your lies and its working people turn against
you and your criminal socialist nastiness.
racism, racism, racism...absurdism.
They already somewhat succeeded. They made Obama back off of ACORN for the census...
If I were a child, I’d say na ne na ne boo boo!
ROFL!
“...did not meet ACORN’s standards of professionalism...”
Which normally would probably have been busting a cap in anyone who tried to expose them.
I imagine Obergruppenfuhrer Margaret is still upset that she and her ACORNs won’t be able to do to the census what they did to “voter” registration in this country.
I was so confused...
(you forgot the "barf alert")
| ...and possibly other locales. In each case they were turned away

The Obamacorns are going nuts and the race card does’nt work anymore.
Maybe Margaret Williams runs brothels full of children?
You just never know what these sick animals are capable of.
I think it’s important to know what the opposition is saying......
We get bombarded with that constantly. I come here to be free of leftist propaganda. I have actually reduced my Freep giving in proportion to the leftist nonsense that gets posted. If you aren’t getting enough of this nonsense elsewhere there are sources such as ABC, NBC, Daily Kos, MSNBC, CBS and a whole (or maybe that’s hole)host of others.
RICO was made for ACORN
Getting caught on video counseling people how to set up a brothel for 13-year old illegals is a tough break, isn't it?
Believe what you want, but I can tell by your sense of denial that you are REALLY, REALLY out of touch with the people of America. I will take great pleasure in watching your day-by-day downfall until you slink into oblivion.
Ms. Williams.
When you smear someone, it’s generally considered to be by making claims that are not true. These people didn’t smear ACORN. They revealed ACORN for what it is.
When you state that they smeared ACRON, you come off looking like a fruit loop.
Your organization needs to be defunded.
ricmc2175 - don’t click on a thread if the subject does not interest you.
There are many threads I do not click on, it is my choice. But if I do click on one that does not interest me, I don’t post a complaint that I did not want to read it.
Now wasn’t that simple?
Please do not reduce your "Freep giving" on my account.
I’m surprised she didn’t blame Bush!
Well, lady, if there wasn’t something there there would be no damage.
To make their point, they should Sue ACORN for $8.5 billion.
(Everyone would find out what's happening to our tax money then)
There are those who will support ACORN no matter what, then there’s the rest of us. This hilarious release satisfies the first group. The rest of us see just how scared ACORN is.
Blatant attempt to “SHOOT THE MESSENGER”.
margret kiss my a..
Actually, I think it’s great to see the affect these actions are having on these idiots. If justice departments (federal and state) were doing their jobs ACORN would no longer exist and many of them would be in jail. As it is, it takes a 20 year old college student pretending to be a hooker to do what should have been done by others with power to actually DO something (like take away their tax dollars and prosecute them). I like seeing these people twist themselves in knots trying to excuse their criminal behavior. You protest too much. It’s pretty easy to see by reading just the short blip, without even clicking on the article, what it was about. If I was this bothered by reading what the “other side” says, I just wouldn’t click on those links.

That was a lot more believable before we saw the second video from the second ACORN office. Now it's just proof that Margaret Williams has a loose handle on the truth.
