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?

Yup. They pay themselves well...afterall, it's just the tax money of the despicable White middle-class.
I’m sure Mr. Moore has already sung the praises of Giles and O’keefe. /sarc off
..... You are likely 100 pct correct.
Pandors NEEDS her box opened!
John Podesta is the biggest WEASAL ever!
How does Pandors feel about that? Won’t it hurt?
RE: “0bama is ACORN.”

Yes, I’ve been saying this for a long time now — heard Rush say it this a.m. as well. Hooray!
If we are very fortunate this may well be Obama’s final undoing. Taxpayers are not amused —
Thank you again for the perfect pic of Zero with cigarette and Acorn ‘hat.’ It IS him — the real Obama. He IS Acorn. Need to repeat that over and over until all the taxpayers see it and ‘get’ it.
A link to the source of the photo is provided at the linked FR thread.
I’m kidding.............
Though I did steal it and put it in my own photobucket account for future use.
I just remembered, the image I posted here was actually a cropped screen shot I made of the photo AND its caption. In other words, that caption won’t appear if you use the image from the source.
