ACORN is the latest victim of Fox news personality Glenn Beck's racist smear campaigns. Beck aired a staged video on his program entrapping a couple of low level members of ACORN. ACORN is a non-profit organisation that works to serve low income and working Americans.
ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the nation's largest community organization of low and moderate income families, working together for social justice and stronger communities. These are good Americans working for the benefit of those less fortunate.
ACORN has over 400,000 members and more than 850 neighborhood chapters in over 100 cities across the United States. In addition, ACORN has chapters in Argentina, Canada, Mexico, and Peru.
Beck finds two questionable low level members of ACORN who were set up by a couple of right wing operatives and tries to smear the whole organisation. Beck wants to argue that two out of 400,000 makes an entire organisation corrupt? His logic, as always, is ridiculously inadequate. Beck is not interested in truth, he is interested in sensationalism and feeding the right wing fringe.
Beck is no stranger to controversy. Beck recently brought shame to himself and his network by accusing President Obama of being a racist. As a result of his disgraceful behavior Beck's program is the subject of a large and successful boycott.
Beck's racist and demented rantings are humorous to many, and by some estimates at least half of his audience watches not for news, but entertainment. Beck, always the buffoon, is a constant source of rantings and hysterics. He is a clown.
That Fox even allows Beck to broadcast is an indication that the network lacks any journalistic standards or integrity. This should not be a story. Yet irresponsible right wing journalists are propping up Beck's smear campaign, some out of ignorance, and some out of malicious intent.
It all comes back to the fact that some Americans, a frightened and ignorant minority, can not accept Barack Obama as president. Beck seduces these gullible and weak minded folks, telling them all sorts of outrageous tales, feeding their fear and hysteria. If such people were not so dangerous, the whole thing would be comical.
guilty!
Fat, fugly and stupid is no way to go through life.
That fat girls sure has a lot of facial hair....
So...a person can do ANYTHING illegal and get away with it as long as he/she is African-American. Did I get that right?
What a toadstool.
it’s about the only way if you’re a liberal...see michael moore-on amongst the many...
Rosie O’Donnell’s prettier twin.
The criminal left cannot stand the light of truth. We knew the race card would be played almost daily when Obama was elected. No surprise. It will just get worse.
LOL, that was entrapment??? Those ACORN buffoons were experts on breaking the law, offering all kinds of advice how to cheat on taxes, how to conceal your crimes, what lies to tell to get mortgages. How can that be construed as entrapment. They weren’t offered anything.
Yeah let me guess, the ACORN employees both had guns put to their heads and were forced to give advice on how to bring children in from other countries to be sex slaves. Yep, I saw the video, I did see the gun, it was put to put of their heads
the author’s suspect just because of his hairstyle.
ACORN is the latest victim?????????
Typical liberal alynski ploy! Be the victim get the sympathy. These thugs are in charge of our census? Getting billions of our tax dollars to fund criminal enterprises? So happy thier in our sites!
Let’s see 11 yesterday, two today what could possibly happen tomorrow?
I don’t think that even include the ACORN 8 that brought a case earlier on the folks at the higher levels of ACORN.
I'm surprised the MSM propaganda artists aren't vomiting on the floor with all the spinning they've been doing.
Good Lord will nothing stop this Beckistani jihad against the good people of ACORN? LOL
I do believe that person is my ex sister in law.
If you were to find out someone is planning to set up a prostitution ring using underage girls smuggled into the country (read sex slaves),what would you do with that information?
