In the wake of Fox News reporting on the unfolding ACORN scandal, ACORN is now threatening to sue the network. Now that Fox is actually breaking news on this story by showing new videos, ACORN might just do it. Fox News should pray that ACORN does sue, because it would blow the doors off this story, possibly destroying ACORN and erupting into a political scandal in Washington.
As bizarre as it seems, ACORN is threatening to sue Fox for reporting on these incriminating videotapes. Glenn Beck broke news with a new tape on Monday, and Sean Hannity might be doing the same shortly. Evidently, ACORN is accusing Fox of coordinating with the filmmakers, arguing that somehow these reports make Fox legally liable.
ACORN’s unavoidable problem, however, is that suing Fox News would give Fox — or any other media organization — the ultimate Christmas present: a legally enforceable way to compel ACORN to give up all its secrets. (snip)
It could also become a massive political scandal in Washington. Two of the individuals on ACORN’s eight-member advisory board include John Podesta (the chairman of President Obama’s transition team after the election) and Andrew Stern, the president of SEIU who is intimately involved with the White House on numerous issues, including the health care plan. Some Democratic elected and appointed officials also have close ties with ACORN. (snip)
So ACORN’s legal actions would be its undoing. The resulting exposure would explode into a national story that even sympathetic media outlets could no longer ignore, bedeviling ACORN’s allies at SEIU and even dragging top advisers to President Barack Obama into humiliating legal proceedings.
And once top ACORN officials were put on the witness stand under oath, who knows what the American taxpayer would learn?

Was the woman on the left in one of the videos?
Where is the rest of the MSM on this story? ACORN has to be abolished, disbanded, and totally shut down!!!!
who knows what the American taxpayer would learn? We wouldn’t have to learn much more than we already know. Thanks to the Congress, we are funding our own destruction through a racist, community organizing, radical group know presently as ACORN, but after the manure is through flying will be a smaller and smarter organization unknown to the American public still funding its own destruction through the congress of the United States and government giveaway programs.
If we as the American people, are unable to get control of where the money goes, end I mean every dime, nickel, and penny. WE ARE DOOMED! Funding of NGO’s, funding for foreign enemies, funding for domestic enemies, funding for welfare, funding for buying automobile companies, funding for anything not in the Constitution, does everyone realize just how much our money would be worth, and how much would need to be returned to the American people because it would be unavailable for the crap congress sees as necessary, such as blackmail/hush money/I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine/reparations/spread the wealth/laundering/bring home the bacon, etc etc.
As with any photo, could be lighting and/or method of processing. Could also be that he had a suntan at the time (yes, black and mixed race people can get suntans).
So now he is into stealing Chet’s nuts. Soon they will be roasting on an open fire. Too bad it won’t be...
Remaining comments self censored.
Neither look familiar to me. But I suppose it is possible, although they have thousands of workers nationwide. And I don't think the article where I got the photo from says which office the photo was taken.

Michael Moore should do a movie about Acorn using taxpayer money to perpetrate a fraud.
Gibson’s admission that he knows nothing about the ACORN scandal remind me of Tom Brokaw on Charlie Rose’s program the weekend before the election last November.
Both Brokaw and Rose talked about how they — the media — knew little about Obama, about what Obama believes.
Yet, the ‘fringe’ media claim they are entrusted with vetting rights. They cry foul whenever blogs and Internet websites get stories out that they have sat on. They cry not at the content, but at the method.
I really think she was in one I saw on Glen Beck.
The instant they file that suit Fox gets the privilege of discovery. I think that the threat is just posturing.
A combination of "shooting the messenger" and arguing about the rude "style" of the messenger instead of the substance of the argument is *rampant* in the fringe media right now.
The fringe, concubine media's message is corrupt and the real, accurate message is coming from newer, more accurate and trustworthy sources ie. the regular folks in this country.
I would send that photo to Beck. I am very sure she was in a video.
But even in the outside chance that it was her, it wouldn't necessarily prove anything, unless there is audio evidence of her and Obama discussing illegal activities.
I copied the post and emailed it to Stu.
every response thus far goes to show they have no clue how to handle this now that its out of the box. They never expected to left hanging in the wind by politicians.
Watch for a big run on industrial strength paper shredders.
It's already been done. All of this dilly dallying around was just to stall until they scrubbed their files, websites, and databases, and, by now, an investigation would find nothing - even the personnel records of the thousands of sweatshop voter registration workers are now "lost". Their web is so tangled that no one will be able to connect any of the dots, and the corruption will just go on and on and on . . . .
I’d say that picture was racist...I think you are implying that squirrels are stupid and trying to create hatred of squirrels.Maybe Servant of the Cross is a member of the the Squirrel Defamation League?
I noticed most of Bertha Lewis’ clothes are African style dresses made with African style prints. They look to be made special for her so she must have a personal $eamstres$.
Ole gal must be making good money to be able to afford that.
They can probably find the Pratt&Whitney J79 models that were last used at the Rose Law Firm, on eBay.
