[Heads-Up to Glenn Beck's Big Scoop] ACORN Organizer: "I killed him . . . I shot him.”
The Weekly Standard ^ | September 15, 2009 | John McCormack

Posted on 09/15/2009 1:17:59 PM PDT by Zakeet

The fourth installment of James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles's undercover report on ACORN is supposed to drop within the hour at BigGovernment.com and will be aired on Glenn Beck at 5:00 p.m. This time the duo took their sting operation to California, where an employee named Theresa confesses that she killed her allegedly abusive husband, and laid some "groundwork" beforehand. Beck aired portions of the video on his radio show today, and Leslie Sherman of The D.C. Writeup wrote it up:

10:54am: As the audio continues, James divulges his aspirations to run for an elected office someday. In enthusiastic response, Theresa says she speaks with Congressman and Senators every day. She names Senator Barbara Boxer and Senator McCleod, and 62nd district Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter. Theresa says that “Eden’s” prostitution money would be an asset to him in his quest to become a Senator or Representative.

11:01am: Regarding the legislators that she speaks with, Theresa says that they (most likely herself and their ACORN office) are lobbying these law makers in behalf of health care reform. Apparently, this “non-partisan” organization that gets government money for housing assistance is using tax dollars for health care lobbying.

11:15am: Theresa discloses that her ex-husband abused her and “beat the hell out of” her. She then continues to confess, “I killed him . . . . I shot him.” She notes that she had laid some “groundwork” beforehand. When James and Hannah question her as to whether he was abusing her when she killed him, she says that he was not at that moment, but she knew he was going to, she said, “I knew it was coming.”

Should be an interesting video. Will the mainstream media cover the ACORN story now?

The folks at Fox News have been hinting for the past 24 hours that Glenn Beck was going to break something big about ACORN this afternoon. This is apparently what he is about to drop on Barry's boys.

You gotta know the lady that said this has been passing peach pits...she had to know she’d been part of what’s been coming down.

Good grief. Where did ACORN come up with all these people?

The media will never cover things like this, unless they are able to spin it as a story about “right wing hate.”

I think the focus should be on making sure more and more Americans know how unimportant the MSM is these days.

I’m praying that you stay safe, Glenn Beck. You are a brave, brave man.

Beck is my man!

Kudos to Hanna and Giles for taping all this absolutely fantastic journalism as it should be! Corruption at it’s worst......

In my family, going back as far as I can, I can’t find anyone who has ever been killed. No one in my family has ever been shot or stabbed. No one in my family has ever gone to jail. I know of no one in my family, or among my friends or coworkers who have died of or who has AIDS. None of us have ever been a victim of a violent crime. Many of my family in the old days were preachers,and I find that interesting. Many fought as soldiers in various wars, or were police or prison wardens. My family dies of things like cancer, or strokes, or something like that. But it’s amazing, when talking to ACORN types, to find out how many of them have experienced all of these things. It is completely alien to me.

MSM will probably praise her for finding a way out of an abusive relationship - self defense.

I’m hoping this story has some big legs and isn’t a jump the shark moment for Glenn.

Hell, Charlie Gibson didn’t even know it was happening.

A good summary. I was able to listen to it on the radio earlier, but I was confused as to who claimed to kill who. I didn’t realize that somebody actually WAS killed here.

Sounds like good information for the local police department, too.

Charlie Gibson will never get a whiff of this big story. He will just look down at us with his reading glasses on the lower bridge of his nose and call Beck a racist.

I have been thinking about Beck’s safety all day long. With all the success he’s been having there must be some radical left nuts out there who would like to see him dead.

He is making too many waves and having too much success lately for the hard core Obama people not to want to shut him up any way they can, even if it makes a martyr out of him.

Well put.

The path you choose to follow carries consequences.

It's ironic, isn't it? Leftists constantly cry and weep and plead for "peace", yet they refuse to make the choices and live the life which BRINGS peace.

You can't plant cactus in the spring and harvest peaches in the fall.
