Breaking News: Sarah Palin Supports ACORN Refunding

Doug Giles

Saturday, October 24, 2009

The only way the fringe “news” outlets would ever report on ACORN in an antagonistic manner would be if Sarah Palin somehow supported this creepy cabal.

Sarah, if you’re reading this column, maybe you should throw your name behind ACORN for a month or two just to get the White House/ACORN’s lap dogs to finally join with FOX and bark down the despicable ACORN clowns until they’re properly vilified, permanently defunded, and eternally ensconced in American history as nothing more than a bad, bad memory—a veritable proverb for corruption.

After lending your name, Mrs. Palin, to ACORN for say, uh, 60 days or so, you could then say you were just BSing everyone to get the tools on the left to finally do the job these limp noodles are supposed to be doing: namely getting to the bottom of ACORN’s odious, braying deception.

This past Wednesday at the National Press Club, Andrew Breitbart, Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe once again released more ACORN footage that showed Bertha and her buddies to be lying through their taxpayer-funded, coffee-stained teeth. They shot holes in Berth’s bunkum. I’m talking .50 cal BMG holes.

Did you see it on TV, people? Short answer: no. Are you surprised? That would be “h” to the “no.”

If you did read about it via los loco lefty blogs, I gar-ron-tee they uniformly responded with the predictable “kill the messenger” schlock instead of their reporters saying, “Holy crap! ACORN looks like they lied their butts off to us once again. Maybe there’s somethin’ to these videos after all. Garsh.”

Hey, media wizards, if you really give a flibbertigibbet about the facts of the ACORN controversy, howzabout demanding ACORN cease and desist the specious fear tactic lawsuit slop and just roll the tapes, huh? Let’s hear the audio, numb nuts. What are you afraid of?

If ACORN is the lily white virgin daiquiris of innocence and virtue they purport to be then they should be all giddy about green-lighting Breitbart to push the Philly play button in order to show the world what their dudes truly counseled in the city of brotherly love.

I mean . . . why not? If you guys are above suspicion and the full Philadelphia audio illuminates that “fact,” then Giles, O’Keefe and Breitbart will be shown as the assassins you declare them to be, right? Until that day when you come clean you guys look really frickin’ guilty to those of us who still have a lick of common sense and decency.

Yep, until the media demands that ACORN play the Philly tapes and ACORN capitulates, we will never hear a discouraging word from these former news agencies. As stated, the only, only way we’re going to hear about ACORN sucking like we all know they do is if Palin supports them, Wade Rathke shoots a polar bear, or Bertha Lewis runs over a manatee while partying on her beer barge down at Key Biscayne.

Palin on Oprah, this should be good.

November 20th.

Does Oprah still support Buckwheat? Will Palin play nice?

Stay tuned.

I do too, but the author is Hannah Gile’s father and I figured he deserved a little slack.

Doug Giles. Ya gotta love the guy. He says it like it is.

I should start a Doug Giles ping list, but I don’t have the time to mess with it.

If somebody else does it, please add me to the list.

You need to put a /s after your title because
a large per cent on FR just read titles and think that is
the fact or is that where you are headed.

Dumb title.

Note to Mr.Giles...

When folks start reading an article expecting to find what the title suggests, and don’t find it, they become annoyed. They may (I did) keep reading, but are more skeptical of what you write.

If you want what you write to be taken seriously, then don’t attempt to draw people in with a bullshiite title.

Oh, and, look at the comments. The title distracts from the content, and it shows in the comments.

That is one stupid, misleading title.

How about this one: “Doug Giles has sex with animals”

It surely gets some sort of point across, as does his title, right?

No, it’s not humor. The article is sarcastically advocating getting the media to attack ACORN, rather than defend it, by creating the idea that Sarah Palin is for their inevitable refunding.

It’s reverse psychology, albeit a bad attempt at it.

You need to listen to Rush’s observation on getting the State Run Media to report on ‘our’ stories.

It would save you some heartburn, keep you from wasting time and energy, as you have set out on a fools errand.

I agree with you that the use of this title was a bad example of reverse psychology.

I’m really holding back. The things I’d say if this wasn’t a family show!

You’re welcome, but I didn’t do it.

I guess someone asked the mods to change it.

“Satire” doesn’t describe the article itself, but guess it will keep peace in the FR family.

ACORN is a small fraction of what needs to be stopped.
All the people on FR who voted for Obama by default,
sitting home or voting third party helped bring on this
Marxist.
There are still idiots on FR who post they would rather have Obama a 2nd term than a RINO.
These are the people who want ACORN

Even as a fairly newbie I knew better than to take the headline at what it said. I am a little distressed than others were not. Should we not know both Palin and FReeRepublic better. Still it was fun to watch people hyperventilate.

It’s nice that his daughter almost single-handedly brought down ACORN and that he’d like to make sure the job gets finished, but it doesn’t excuse him from the terrible crime of expecting us to read beyond a headline. That is a bridge too far! /s

I feel that Giles *used* Sarah, especially considering that she has had so much trouble from the msm, pundits, RINOs, some on the McCain campaign, and those Alaskans who filed all those ethics complaints, etc.

Giles did her wrong.

I’ve done that before and it always ends up making me look like a fool.

“Hey, everybody! I just read on Free Republic that when the balloon came down, Obama was in it!”

“Really? I don’t see that anywhere else.”

“Let me go back and look. Oh, it was a joke headline!”

Fake example, but indicative.
