The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.

Fox's attempt to smear ACORN Thursday September 10, 2009 is despicable, part of a coordinated, long-term campaign by Fox to damage ACORN, the premiere community organization of low- and moderate-income people in the United States. Every day ACORN members are working for health care reform, living wage jobs, to end the foreclosure crisis, and to strengthen our public schools. For its part, Fox is running a campaign to demonize ACORN. They will get attention, but they will not succeed.
In July 2009, Fox agents attempted to enter ACORN offices in New York, in Philadelphia, in San Diego, in Los Angeles, and possibly other locales. In each case they were turned away, and in Philadelphia ACORN staff were concerned enough that a police report was filed. In Baltimore, the Fox squad deceived ACORN staff by consistently misrepresenting their intentions. No tax returns were filed and no assistance was provided. But the ACORN personnel in question have been terminated because their handling of the Fox agents provocateurs did not meet ACORN's standards of professionalism.
The larger pattern of Fox's irresponsible actions here is the real news. From Glenn Beck calling President Obama a racist, to Fox inciting racism and threats of violence with the Teaparties, to Fox unleashing a hit job on ACORN the day after an inspiring Presidential healthcare speech before Congress, Fox has long since abandoned any journalistic pretense. It is clear and not coincidence that FOX continues to attack and divide our nation along racial lines. We believe our country is beyond this type of attack and call on all Americans to demand that FOX stop its racist coverage.

Of course she's correct - Obama has their backs, no matter what amount of corruption is found.
Fart proudly Margaret! Fart proudly!
One day ALL of these people will face justice.
LLS
How very droll....sort of like ‘Baghdad Bob’ if you axe me. Honestly, I don’t know how this bitch kept a straight face when she dictated her statement to the media lapdog that recorded it (I say recorded, because I seriously doubt he/she has the faculties to write).
"Its only sex slavery. Elections have consequences."
Oh, you poor smeared upon Communists. There is a smearer around every corner. BOO!
Go ahead commies make the word smear as meaningless as you are making the word racism.
Ha.
Fools.
Am I on the Daily Kos?
Sorry...but all four women involved on the videos were told, foreign underage girls were being brought in for the sex, slave trade. And they found this to be just fine.
This organization should be closed down...and I don’t mean Fox.
Oooooh ..... the 'r' word. The real news is that Acorn has smeared themselves without any help from FOX and yet again overplayed the 'racist' card ..... being called a 'racist' these days is fast becoming a badge of honor.
Acorn has standards?
Operation Rescue got litigated to death for trying to save babies. Why can’t the same thing be done to this very obvious and very real ‘criminal enterprise’.
the bottom line is that your org gives council and advice on how to pay taxes on money earned from underage sex with children
LOL! Hilarious pic!
Pathological liars are renowned for their ability to ‘keep a straight face’ whilst telling an outrageous lie.
[just watch O’Kenya when he talks...uh...sorry...reads from his teleprompter]
Margie, you make me laugh and wretch at the same time! ACORN should just go ahead and change it’s name to AHOLES!
I think it's important to know what the opposition is saying......
