Also, the voter registration ACORN is a different group of people from the ACORN that helps with low income housing. You were aware of that, and just failed to report it? Or, you didn't know, and therefore aren't too bright?
There are many more videos. Just how many we'll never know, since the propagandists have declined to spell out how many times they had to pull this stunt before they found people to fall for it. They have also failed to provide original and unedited tape for viewing.
You know, there was a McDonald's in the last town I lived in. I'm an 'onions only' kind of guy when I treat myself to a quarter pounder, and they had a bad habit of getting it wrong. Sometimes, no onions. Sometimes, everything but onions. Now, while it would have been very easy and cheap to document this subpar service, there ain't no way I would have been calling for the resignation of the president of the McDonald's corporation, or to have every single McD's shut down because of one or two bad experiences. Remember the school girl who's science project showed that the water in the toilet was cleaner than the ice cubes in the drinks at your local fast food shop? Why wasn't FOX calling for all fast food restaurants to be closed up? Where was the outrage?
Hey! Psssst. Ms. Kelly? You've been clear about your outrage over a nonprofit group apparently promoting prostitution. I know of a for-profit group, receiving hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, and they're using that money to kill U.S. soldiers! Now, if you really want a juicy story...
Do those who tried legitimately to help further this farcical criminal enterprise deserved to be punished? If they broke the law, yes. Of course, that also applies to your Dynamic Duo, since videotaping people without their consent is illegal in some states, right?
WHAT?????
Woodward showed up at the arraignment in court AFTER the five had been arrested.
Where do you get this stuff from?????
So, how do you stand on private, for-profit corporations getting hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money and using it to kill American soldiers, puppienrainbows?
The ACORN people were trying to sound as much a criminal as them. I just want to know why some one would waste their time entertaining these two if they were fakes??
In other words, I don't think that what these filmmakers did is wrong per se, but the problem is that they were never interested in doing it to expose the truth and solve a problem. They weren't even interested in doing it as comedy or an expose about how people react in certain situations, to shine a light on human behavior, like for example Sascha Baron Cohen has done.
What these guys were interested in doing was to make money and try and destroy and organization that for the most part does a lot of good. They weren't trying to expose the truth in order to make things better, they were trying to set up the ACORN people for a fall so that the politicians and corporations who oppose the president and ACORN would benefit from it. It was completely dishonest not in their method, but in their goal. That's what makes this story so depressing, not the content of the videos (and I found the first video, which is the only one I've seen all the way through, disgusting and shocking, and the people in it were rightly fired).
IMHO such deliberate ignorance is the sign of a truly pathetic individual.
Second question, are these same people still working for Acorn at these "four" locations today?
Third question, what actions were taken from local Law Enforcement agencies in the "four" locations where these videos were taken back in 2005?
Last question, how can Glenn Beck, FoxNews Channel's Hosts & Guests, and the Republicans "demand" action from the Federal Gov't while bypassing the "LOCAL" Authorities?
Hmmm, this is just another Republican made-up smear attack against Pres. Obama and the Democrats as these Republicans "distract" from real answers to HealthCare Reform Debate, LOL.
And then he spills the beans - that there are more videotapes from other locations.
What? Why would they be released piecemeal, except to draw the story out? An organization that wanted to share news wouldn't hold some back like this, but an organization that wanted the ratings help and public noteriety would do exactly what they've done.
Guess Fox News is all about child porn
Of course y'all don't, because the people getting the illegal advise were rich white republicans who were hiding their money in offshore accounts. My, how the reich's demands for adherence to ethics have fallen since the days of the bush failure to show for service letter!
If ACORN is doing shady stuff then by all means investigate them but don't go to different offices and pretend to be something that you are not just to see if you can video tape them doing something wrong. You investigate the news...not create it.
When a DC lobbying firm asserted that it was a temp worker who sent out several fake letters using hijacked letterhead to scam against environmental legislation very few people went this crazy to destroy the lobbying group who hired that sleazy temp!
