I understand your and others’ concerns on this thread. Plus my own.

So I’ll play “devil’s advocate” or, in this case, angel’s advocate....this is the SECOND big thing brought to an abrupt halt by the likes of Glen Beck, Bloggers, talk radio, Fox news and that sort.

The glass ceiling, as allegedly discriminated upon women used to say, has been cracked. Fox routinely now beats out CBS.

That mighty beast doesn’t go down easily but it’s going down and with each Friday night news dump like this the state-controlled media drops a bit more each time.

Plus don’t kid yourself folks, SOMEBODY out there is worried about the things going down in this country. I don’t for a minute believe that this 25 year old guy and girl did this all by themselves. There’s people, I’ll even go so far as to hint that some Dems might be in on it, that are now helping with these exposes and sorts of things that will now be a force to be reckoned with.

I’m betting that there was a deal struck over this....Rahm called...oh I dunno, maybe a repub getting ready to put up a bill to take funds away from ACORN.

“Okay Mike (as in PENCE)...what do you want?”

“THIS time, Rahm, you call the census bureau away from ACORN and visa versa. That’s only for this occasion, Rahm, because as you know, everybody’s got a cell phone, everybody’s got a camera, everybody’s got a tape recorder. More incidents like this and we make more deals. But for now, call ACORN and anything that might morph into an ACORN out of the census bureau and the 2010 census. Obama knew we were going to find a way around that but tell him nice try. You have the census bureau send a letter to congress vowing to remove ACORN from its association and we won’t be introducing any bills that will force the Dem congress critters to have to vote in FAVOR of child pornography. I’m thinking even CNN will have to cover that. And DON’T try anything, Rahm. We got Town Hallers and Tea Partyers all over this country and they’re all very willing to check out what’s going on in their home town. Deal, Rahm?”

Rahm, with a grumble, responds...”deal”.

You see....there’s eyes and ears and cameras and now, most important of all, a mighty chink has fallen from the state controlled media.

Fox won this and soon, if God is in his heaven, real journalists will be clammoring to work for Fox where you get to be a REAL journalist, maybe do neat stuff like going undercover.

Some call it implosion.

You may disagree with my assessment and I do tend to be an optimist.

But I think I’m right.

;)

James O'Keefe is an activist filmmaker. He credits include the "Bailout Prize Patrol" produced for Right.Org in 2009. He also directed, scripted, produced and acted in a series of undercover videos showcasing racism and statutory rape at Planned Parenthood in 2007 and 2008. Before that he served as Publications Coordinator at the Leadership Institute, where he helped initiate 22 independent newspapers and magazines on college campuses nationwide. He also gave lectures on campus strategy and fundraising, preaching the gospel of Saul Alinsky. His most recent project is Veritasvisuals.com, a collection of satirical short films on newsworthy topics, featuring ridiculous situations and demands. These have included straight men with girlfriends getting married to each other in Massachusetts and petitions to adopt Gitmo detainees into American homes. His work has been featured on CNN and Fox News. James got his start producing videos banning "H20" and "Lucky Charms" at his alma mater, Rutgers University, where he founded The Centurion in 2004.

Tho I did not think of PI, I said they should be watched as should whoever Census hires—it is still out of Rohm’s office. :(

Census to ACORN:

Unfortunately, we no longer have confidence that our national partnership agreement is being effectively managed through your many offices. For the reasons state, we therefore have decided to terminate the partnership.

Fortunately

Of course.

ACORN International changed its name. Maybe there will be fallout from this, though.

Thanks to whoever the back office patriots are in DC.

The Baltimore adventure with ACORN started off as a silly idea, both absurd and incredible by all accounts. But it stuck, and quickly escalated into a full blown operation with scripts, method acting, undercover gear, scandalous outfits, fast minds, good hearts, plenty of humor and healthy homemade blueberry muffins. When I pitched the “prostitute goes into ACORN seeking housing” idea to James O’Keefe at the beginning of the summer, I had absolutely no idea how he would respond. He came back with, “Would you be willing to portray the prostitute? And if so, when can you do this?” --Hannah Giles

I still will not believe it as long as Obama and the democrats are running things.

They are all big assed liars.

Of course, many of ACORN’s 200 or so “affiliated entities” will still be “working” the census.

I thought ACORN was rebranding itself anyway, so this “dropping” may just be another way of saying “ACORN is changing its name.”

Yes, as Ozbama said one time....can do more than one thing at a time. Need it to come from all directions and keep them off balance. See how many plates they can keep in the air at once.
