The part on the under-aged prostitution ring begins about 5 minutes into the 35 min audio segment. And it continues on at about 11 mins into it (following other news).
Wrong! If a huge, federally-funded right-wing organization was arranging loans for paedophile brothels we would want them caught.
ACORN and Obama were spawned in the same swamp.
Saunders is barking up the wrong tree here. I don't see how it was Beck's responsibility to verify that. It's just one more example of what sort of people are working for ACORN. There seem to be no limits to what some of them will say, or what advice, legal or otherwise, they will offer those who seek their help.
Debra J. Saunders didn't watch Beck or others. Everyone said they didn't know what to make of it. Beck said law enforcement was contacted and had no comment. Showing her saying she shot her husband made the point ACORN hires lunatics whether she did kill or husband or not.
What was Beck supposed to do? Hide that part of the tape?
If he did the left would say he hid the part proving she is delusional.
What is the matter with Saunders? She's usually brighter than this.
A strong case can be made that the two young activists established the proverbial "pattern of behavior" where ACORN is concerned. I expect that is why they visited so many ACORN offices. Isn't Saunders some sort of conservative? This is a terrible column from her. Why is she trying to diminish what was accomplished?
Debra got a big “but” at the end there, and she has been expressing sympathy for the devil for years. Melanie Morgan wrote her off a long time ago.
I wonder what you’d come up with if you went out to some of the ACORN locals posing as ACORN reps, and ask if they’ve scrubbed their paperwork and briefed the workers on what to tell the investigators.
Gee, Deb, just a little pouty that the right is starting to fight by the left’s rules of engagement....
The fact is she said it, talked about it, confessed it...and it was a falsehood? If she hadn't killed her husband, if I were him I'd be watching my back. How many other young girls has she given the murder advice too?

Michael McCray: “No one knows how much ACORN i
EXCERPT
Q: One of the complaints we’ve heard related to funding among all of the various ACORN-related entities. What were some of the more egregious activities you saw perpetrated by top management?
A: Well the multi-million embezzlement and 8 year cover up has to lead the list of egregious illegal conduct. The embezzlement was publicly reported to be $1 million, however the board was notified that the true number was at least $5 million.
Senior Staff and the Executive Committee knew about the embezzlement and covered it up for eight years.
We believe that any participated in, benefited from or knew about and withheld information about the embezzlement from the board should be terminated and/or removed from any association with ACORN. We demanded a forensic examination and independent financial audit of ACORN and all of its related entities to ferret out the wrongdoers.
Q: Mixing of non-profit funds with those of the for-profit entities has been mentioned repeatedly as an ACORN theme. How bad is or was this situation and where do you see it leading?
A: Our position is simply this – we do not believe that the national board of directors has ever been given access to ACORN’s corporate books and financial records. Thus, no one really knows how much ACORN is actually worth and how much non-profit –vs– for profit funding has flown through ACORN unless and until there is a forensic examination and independent audit. We know that all funding flowed through Citizen’s Consulting Inc. (CCI). But CCI claims to be a private company – but it is really the financial management division of ACORN.
Ultimately, their must be a forensic examination and audit of ACORN. Otherwise know one will ever know for sure how much went into ACORN, how much money was co-mingled at ACORN or how much money was embezzled from ACORN. It’s just that simple.
She sounds mad because she didn’t think of this herself.
This isn't a couple of stupid quotes, this is a pattern done over 5 different offices now and more coming. This sting wouldn't work on some one who is honest, it isn't as if the words were taken out of context, they are caught giving illegal advice too a pimp and his hooker.
Isn’t this guy missing the point?
It isn’t the fault of the filmaker - or Glen Beck that this chick’s husband is still alive.
She is the one who ran her mouth - and did not recoil in horror at the “pimp and ho’s” plan to engage in human trafficking.
She did not call the police.
So while it’s true other offices kicked them out - it is still troubling that others didn’t - going so far as to offering advice and trying to get them to join ACORN.
I disagree with Saunders’s statement that conservatives should “be aware” of libs going around taping statements. That’s exactly what has been going for many decades. How is taping people different from interviewing people at some political rally and taking away a few outrageous statements? The libs do that all the time. The difference us, of course, ACORN is a political organization dedicated to leftist causes and not some individuals showing up at a rally.
