ABC News Radio Leading Top of the hour news with: ACORN $1 million embezzlement story

ABC NEWS Radio | 9/21/9

[Bulwinkle]

Just heard in on WMAL (DC) at 9am….No link. Maybe someone can find the link.

[Bulwinkle]

Cool!!!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Talk about late to the party.

[RKV]

This story has been around for a while. BUT, it does lead straight to the Rathke brothers, which is good.

[Perdogg]

about 12 months too late.

[rtbwood]

This is Obama’s community organizing group. What does this tell you about Obama?

[MNJohnnie]

Just cover. Nowh when the rest of their coverage is 99.9% Leftist the frauds at ABC will squeal about how by doing this story they “proved” they are “objective”.

[Dixie Yooper]

$1,000,000 is small change compared to the 8.5 Billion they are trying to embezzle through the Stimulus Bill.

[classified]

Well the good news for ABC is they won’t have to do any research on the story. Just have FOX send over the files and they can read the story out loud over the air!

[bigbob]

look out ACORN...bus is a’comin’ your way!

[jiggyboy]

It’s ABC, you gotta be kidding me. Are they going to be the ones suddenly breaking an ACORN story? Sheesh.

Thanks for the half-sourced, vague reference to a story that is probably a year old.

[edcoil]

founders brother took it, no police ever called. They covered it all up - never told those donating to them or the government that takes our money and gives it to them.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Just cover is spot on.

[DManA]

One million. Woopee. They were poised to steal dozens of billions from taxpayers. With the blessing of Mr Obama.

[SE Mom]

For Pete’s sake. Freepers have known this story for over a YEAR.

This is pure theater.

[9YearLurker]

Would be great if Obama’s being so obnoxious to George S. in his interview sparked the ABCers. But they’re Disney, not a chance.

Still, it’s better than nothing—which is what we usually get from them.

[Candor7]

You can bet that they were forced to cover the story, but they will water down the real significance of ACORN's national criminal activity.

ABC is merely preparing the public for the Obama Junta to put 8.6 billion dolars Acorn's way just a few months prior to the 2010 election.

[Danae]

Rathke better find himself a cave in Afghanistan. That red haired rat bastard has been USING the poor for decades to make himself rich and powerful. How I hope and pray that this is the downfall of Cloward-Piven and their sick demented philosophy!

[kennedy]

Isn’t it cute when the MSM first “discovers” a story that has been on the blogs for over a year?

[John.Galt2012]

Watch my right hand everybody! That just means the fringe media was given the green light by Soros to destroy ACORN, burn it down and destroy the evidence. Make it a non-story. Which means the left hand has made all the necessary preparations to protect the true power structure behind the scenes. ACORN has been officially condemned for politically expediency, just like Van Jones. So how and where will all the $ and power go now? If we were paying attention, THEY showed us already; the Unions for one. But where else...hmmmm? Any ideas?

[rovenstinez]

Wasn´t this the vehicle Barack Obama rode to the White House. Will he throw ACORN under the bus¿

[randog]

Well the good news for ABC is they won’t have to do any research on the story. Just have FOX send over the files and they can read the story out loud over the air!

LOL!! The MSM should have a link to Fox News on their websites. Label it "News We Can't Report Because We Threw In With The Wrong Guy".

[silverleaf]

I agree- they had to spead out more than a million just to buy the vote in Ohio and PA

Now, let's see an investigation linking ACORN to being used as cover to launder and conceal those yet-unidentified foreign donations to the obama campaign, since it's now been revealed that ACORN was used to allow max’ed out donors to keep donating

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[bmwcyle]

Now the news from 1492

Columbus today....

[silverleaf]

I agree, stay vigilant

the people who built ACORN would not be standing by watching it burn if they didn’t have a backup plan

Perhaps the Civilian Service Corps (equivalent to the US military) that obama promised to build?

[SeaHawkFan]

Would be great if Obama’s being so obnoxious to George S. in his interview sparked the ABCers. But they’re Disney, not a chance.

Maybe realized that if the economy continues to go down the toilet due to givernment spending, Disney properties are going to lose a lot of money because of severely declining attendance.

[RockinRight]

Yes...but this could be some GOLDEN impeachment material...which means 2010 is all about getting a GOP majority in the House.

[John.Galt2012]

Yathink’? I’d say your pretty close if not dead on.

[blam]

"It’s ABC, you gotta be kidding me. Are they going to be the ones suddenly breaking an ACORN story? Sheesh."

You'd be suprized how many people haven't heard a word about the ACORN story.

[beckysueb]

Black Panthers. Or to be politically correct, Panthers of Color.

[John.Galt2012]

Naaa. Disney/ABC has already negotiated it’s place in the New USSA. Disneyland and Disney World will be the new American meccas. Each American, in addition to being forced to buy health insurance, must make one trip in their lifetime to each Disney park. They stand to make Billions more than they do now. I read the Top Secret memo...really...I did. ;)

[mewzilla]

ABC's heard about the story John Fund was talking about on FNC this morning. Sounds like this is the one the 's gonna break. If so, that's the only reason ABC's mentioning it now.

[MosesKnows]

What does this tell you about Obama?

This is about Obama’s community organizing group but Obama's corruption is not the real story. The real story is that media, other than Fox News, is reporting it. Now that's news.

[OpusatFR]

“Talk about late to the party.”

Exactly. I always wondered this: ACORN let the whole issue blow over and didn’t press charges, BUT, the IRS should have been after the founder for tax evasion but just ignored it.

This is an old story that the lamestream should have covered but didn’t because it would have upset the political elite who run with the money ACORN gives them.

[mewzilla]

Sounds like this is the one the Wall Street Journal's gonna break at noon today.

[MinuteGal]

My guess is that more power and money will go to the slippery lounge lizards (like Gore) in the scam environmental movement.

Ecology and Save the Planet is the perfect cover.

We're already paying through the nose for the green con games....Crap 'n Trade will kill us and the country....and the slick ideas for robbing us will never stop emanating from the Global Smarmy grifters.

Leni

[Dr. Ursus]

Yea,just like the took out Acorn,when they were in power.
Oh,wait.

[maggief]

I read the figure is closer to $8 million, but whose counting.

[silverleaf]

obama’s national security force= “son of ACORN”?

The pledge

The plan
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/07/obamas_civilian_national_secur.html

the action
June 09- Obama signs $6 billion bill expanding AMERICORPS (aka National Civilian Service Corps)

[AppyPappy]

Face it. We all knew ACORN couldn’t pass an audit by a first year Accounting student. Professional hustlers were using it as an ATM

[Joann37]

“Talk about late to the party.”

You’re not kidding! When did that happen, about 10 years ago or so? Fox viewers have know about this for years!

[mewzilla]

Professional hustlers were using it as an ATM

But for what? My bet is that voter and tax fraud, bad as those are, have been the least of it.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Perhaps the Civilian Service Corps (equivalent to the US military) that obama promised to build?”

It would be a hard sell now. Obama is linked with ACORN all the way back to 1992.

[Bulwinkle]

“For Pete’s sake. Freepers have known this story for over a YEAR.
This is pure theater.”

True...but 90% of America is not familiar with it!
Second, MSM copy each other.

The dam is truly has burst.

[silverleaf]

Looking back at obama’s plans he hinted at in 2008- each of his “czars” being set in place, may end up with a “corps” of civilian volunteers
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/07/obamas_civilian_national_secur.html

think of the czars as his appointed division commanders in a new civilian army, all outside the control of the legislative branch of govt. Much more complex, diverse, and controllable by obama, than ACORN which may have outperformed its usefulness for the future plan. Face it middle and upper class America is not going to let its kids be drafted into ACORN, but it will send those kids willingly to “green corps” summer camps

[silverleaf]

The plan may already be well underway

Note the power of noble-sounding words to implement radical ideas. obama’s handlers do well at this.

[John.Galt2012]

That is exactly why Cap & Trade is the key to America's survival. By that I mean, CAP the total percentage of Taxes (and fees now) that federal, state, local govt can take from a citizen and TRADE big govt for limited govt by setting a max size of govt and it's budget based on a percentage of the GDP and population. Starve the beast to a manageable size. Flush the congressional toilet, install term limits, limit Executive powers. Money=Power and Power=Money

[stephenjohnbanker]

I’m sure the plan is well underway, but Obama’s power is diappearing rapidly, and everyone is watching his every move now thanks to Breitbart, Beck, and a few others.

[Scythian]

I would guess so much of that money has been stolen that we would be “utterly shocked” if we didn’t know better ...

[capt. norm]

This means that they will soon have the latest news from the Little Bighorn on how General Custer made out.
