Confessions of an ACORN Whistleblower Part II

The Reality Check ^ | 10/31/2009 | Anita MonCrief

[anitamoncrief]

Fear and outside influences kept me off Fox the weekend before the election. Fear and a sense of loyalty to Strom kept me from immediately exposing the New York Times by releasing our email exchanges before March of 2009 and fear tied me to Marcel Reid, who used those fears to manipulate and control me. In the end, fear did not prevent me from realizing that I was no longer ideologically aligned with the ACORN 8. I was no longer the far left radical who wanted to change the system, and I no longer felt that I had to stand with my Democratic party.

Part II will hopefully expose some of the truth behind the ACORN story and explain what factors kept this story from the public before the 2008 elections. Obama could have been stopped but forces were in play to minimize the story to ensure a comfortable victory.

It's looking like a house of cards in the middle of Payton Place...

Thanks for the ping.

Anita writes very well. She is literate and can work without a teleprompter.

She sounds too good to be true. We need her to go on a lecture circuit - with an army of bodyguards....

Way to go! bttt

I believed that ACORN was a subversive organization committed to turning poverty into a profit and America into a socialist country.

Powerful article, anitamoncrief. Thanks for the ping.

I believed that ACORN was a subversive organization committed to turning poverty into a profit and America into a socialist country. I also came to realize in the months leading up to March, my admitted fears had been used against me by others and I had become a prisoner of the those fears.

She's right. ACORN is run by white men - who use blacks to secure power for themselves. She's one brave woman...

Right on - ACORN is run by old white men - who use blacks to secure power for themselves. She's one brave woman...

...her editors had told her to “stand down,” because the ACORN/Obama story was a “game changer” and it was their policy not to print a “game changer” that close to the election.

Oh? Let's think back to the G.W. Bush drunk driving story that was released shortly before the election; was that intended as anything other than a "game changer"?

Hypocritical b@$+@rd$!

Good piece, thanks for your ping.

[Randy Larsen]

Thank You Anita!

[anitamoncrief]

Exactly. They strung me along for months and never intended to run that story. CNN did a three tape interview that never ran. Fox was interested but I had been warned away from Fox with insinuations that they would ignore ACORN and use me as the “black woman coming out against Obama.” As a lib bot, I listened.

ACORN Ping!

FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.

[mojitojoe]

Good for her! A brave woman. SEIU is just as bad and more closely tied with the WH. They need to be taken down too.

[tioga]

Wow. It takes a lot of courage to stand up for what is just. Glad to have you here on FR.
