"ACORN appears to be a corrupt organization that aids and abets criminals and gets millions of dollars in taxpayer money."
Such was reported Tuesday evening, but not by one of the mainstream television news outlets.
That was Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," who in a fabulous six-minute segment not only covered the story of ACORN representatives giving business advice to folks trying to set up a child-prostitution ring, but also lambasted the media for getting scooped so embarrassingly by "two kids from the cast of ‘High School Musical III.'"
After walking through some of the videos captured at numerous ACORN offices by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, Stewart said (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript):
JON STEWART, HOST: ACORN appears to be a corrupt organization that aids and abets criminals and gets millions of dollars in taxpayer money. [...]Well, this is an impressive expose. I'd love to know the intrepid journalists who broke this story. "60 Minutes"? The AP? That guy who gets the predators?
(Shows video of O'Keefe appearing on Fox News).
Are you f**king kidding me? First of all, you don't have to tell us you're a white guy. Your pimp costume appears to be a fur coat on top of your Andover uniform. Second of all, where were the real reporters on this story? You know what investigative media, see me on camera three: Where the hell were you? You know who broke this story? These two.
(Shows picture of O'Keefe and Giles.)
![]()
You're telling me that two kids from the cast of "High School Musical III" can break this story with a video camera and their grandmother's chinchilla coat? And you got nothing? They did it for $3,000, and that's Blitzer's monthly beard Wetvac budget. It probably cost CNN that much to turn on their hologram machine.
I'm a fake journalist, and I'm embarrassed these guys scooped me. Let's get to work people.
Delicious.

Liberalism: The haunting feeling that someone, somewhere, can help themselves.
Anyone believe him?
September 16, 2009 - 17:30 ET by SlyrrWe all know Steward is a lying, liberal toadwart. This site has showed all kinds of videos of him dodging, weaving and lying to pull Democrat butts out of the fire for ages.
So while it's good that he showed this, I don't credit him for it. I think he hoped it would die away too. He's only showing it now because it's too big to ignore and have him still be credible as a pop culture figure. (Letterman ceased being credible long ago)
He asks 'where were you' to the media? Where was HE? He knew and knows that ACORN is nothing but Obama's mob of criminals and thugs - yet he said nothing.
He has no credibility either. He was just as guilty by staying silent until now.

a broken clock
September 16, 2009 - 13:19 ET by jon_torlinA broken clock is right twice a day. Personally, I can't stand the guy, but I did watch the clip, and he made some very good points, very irrefutable points for a fake journalist.
It was pretty obvious of his derision with Fox News, but even he couldn't deny the fact that they got the info out there far and wide.
I liked how he pointed out how the people at A Corn didn't bat an eye about what the "pimp" and "ho" wanted to do with the 13 kids which is appalling in itself and as he stated, they obviously have done something like this before.
So now supposedly A Corn is taking "major" steps because of the videos. I wonder what they are....

Jon - re: Broken Clock
September 16, 2009 - 16:10 ET by DoktorFrankenI, too, hate Stewart. THIS time he used facts. Most all of the times he attacked Bush, Cheney, Rove, or any Conservative he had to resort to hyperbole, misinformation, and outright made-up lies to make his jokes. Note that I said ''jokes'' and not ''news'' because as a Leftist newsperson (which is how a lot of Lefties consider him) he is a joke.
couldn't deny it
September 16, 2009 - 19:28 ET by jon_torlinThis is one of those cases where truth is stranger(and funnier) than fiction, and being the comedy central channel, you have to capitalize on it, even if it means picking on your own. They do throw people under the bus after all.
But he also added the truth that he's a fake journalist and I have to wonder how many people believed he's a real one? I know a couple of people at work that think he is and they get their "news" from him before getting it anywhere else, even CNN and MSNBC.
Speaking of truth funnier than fiction, a co-worker had come back between classes to take a quick nap, doesn't bother taking his glasses off, just sits back in a chair and within moments, snores like a freight train, and when he woke up, he was trying to find his glasses. "Anyone seen where my glasses are?" as he looks around. I looked at another worker in the room with a startled and puzzled expression and then back at the awakened one, and said "uh...your nose..." His eyes actually crossed to look at his nose and he blinked and said "Oh, there they are." I took another look at my other co-worker and just walked out the room, couldn't trust myself to speak without busting out laughing.
Can't make this up. Just like the crap in politics.

Are you kidding me, Beck is a journalist, collarrow?
September 17, 2009 - 21:46 ET by 007memoAre you kidding me, Beck is a journalist, collarrow?
Beck, just like Rush, tells you himself that he's not a journalist.
Source: GlennBeck.com April 19,2009: "Now remember, I'm not a journalist. They always make fun of me: Glenn Beck, he's a pseudojournalist. No, I'm not a journalist. I never claimed to be a journalist. I am an opinion person."
Beck is exactly who I was talking about when I wrote: "Imho, the right wing press was too busy trumping up nonsensical accusations about Acorn and wallowed in conspiracy theories instead."
I know I won't get any concurrence here, but it's tough to watch Glenn Beck and not see what's bizzarely obvious; the guy is whacked out on conspiracy theories. I watch his show with my jaw dropped.
Speaking of conspiracy theories, Wayne and Wade Rathke's role in anything but a good conspiracy theory is plain silly. Yeah, I've seen Beck rant wild-eyed about them also.

Memo, that's too much information. I don't need to know what it takes to excite your life partner.
Let me see if I've got this straight. You applaud Jon Stewart for calling out the Media but Glenn Beck is incapable of imparting newsworthy information. Is that about it?
It's an indictment of the mainstream media that they didn't cover ACORN. If you're incapable of fishing out sources for the rest of the news, that's an indictment on you.
LYDSEXICS UNTIE!
Beck promoted whacko theories, cool arow
September 18, 2009 - 00:03 ET by 007memoBeck promotes whacko conspiracy theories, cool arow. And as I've pointed out many times on the Newsbusters sight, he uses bald faced lies to promote those conspiricies.
I'd have applauded Beck if he had exposed the Acorners in Brooklyn and Baltimore, but he didn't. I do though applaud that couple for their coup and making it look so easy to catch those Acorners in their corruption - it sure makes it appear that the corruption runs much deeper.
I don't mean to go off on another incendiary tangent Coolarrow, especially one that many here couldn't begin to understand, but you lack the self awareness to recognize your own bigotry: You write: "Memo, that's too much information. I don't need to know what it takes to excite your life partner." It is a kinda clever joke in it's own sordid way, but that's the same insulting tactic the haters use in attempting to dehumanize Obama; the dehumanization makes it so much easier to justify the hate.
You're calling Obama a "slimeball" is another specific example of that dehumanization.

All done. You've kept your thoughts to yourself when the left makes homosexual jokes about conservatives.(Scroll up, memo. I painstakingly avoided making reference to the sex of your life partner)
The "lies" you allegedly exposed had to do with Beck repeating something to do with crowd size.
Gosh 007memo, you're quite the investigative journalist, aren't you?
And now you're applauding the two who made the videos but not the "whacko" who gave them a forum from which to air the video? (whacko? aren't you doing some dehumanizing of your own?)
Are you so ignorant as to believe CBS, ABC, NBC, et. al would have given these two filmmakers a chance?
Those Alphabet stooge networks wouldn't even report on the voter registration problems with ACORN, nor did they bother with the Black Panther voter intimidation, and you think it's not important which venue provided airtime to these filmmakers?
You are not thinking correctly yet, young grasshopper. You're still under the impression that the SubPrime Media is fair.

September 17, 2009 - 22:26 ET by Cool Arrow007memo. What you and the Subprime Media missed somewhere along the way is a paradigm shift. You missed where Americans have now (allegedly) named Jon Stewart as the most trusted news person in America.
Whether you like it or not, many people get their news from the hybrid entertainer/current events personality.
Of course you missed that shift because I'm getting the impression you really don't follow the news anyway.

September 18, 2009 - 00:21 ET by 007memoOne bad apple don't spoil the whole Acorn, restless.
This most recent exposition of corruption, as sensational as it is, does not prove the whacko conspiracy theories and propaganda previously promoted by charlatans like Beck and the right wing chattering class.
They've thrown a bunch of slop against the wall hoping something would stick, yet none of it did. Now there is evidence of real corruption, having nothing whatsoever to do with the slop those charlatans were promoting.
Come down to earth, restless, that would have been too good to be true. The charlatans were to busy with their whacko conspiracies to ever dig up any real corruption.

I liked the part about the pimp costume being over the guy's Andover uniform. Very clever. No one ever said Jon wasn't clever--it was just sort of predictably aimed in one direction.
Thank You Jon Stewart!

And now I hear Bertha "Butt Boogie" Lewis has shut down all operations until an "independent" investigation has been completed. Yeah, and who is going to conduct this "independent" investigation? Eric Holder? Obama himself?
RULE 8: "Keep the pressure on. Never let up."
Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the
opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something
new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling
organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
Libtard Rule #847: When
September 16, 2009 - 15:05 ET by RR GOPLibtard Rule #847: When Conservatives embarrass/expose one of your own, make it look like the embarrassees are incompetent Libtards (unlike competent Libtards), insult those who exposed them and quietly throw said embarrassees under the bus.
Libtard Rule #848: When embarrassed/exposed by Conservatives, quietly fall under the bus and then either:
1. Change your name to something else and pick up where you left off.
2. Change job descriptions and pick up where you left off.
Or both.

September 16, 2009 - 18:16 ET by Cooltom‘Where the Hell Were You?’
I was thinking last night about how wonderful it would have been if the expose had happened in Sep of '08, not Sep of '09. Then I thought that in a fair world it would have happened. You didn't need two kids to do. I blame three entities:
1) The Media -- they didn't even has to use subtefuge to investigate Ayers, Wright or ACORN -- they could have pulled up their satellite truck up to the front curb and went in with cameras on their shoulders. They used to do that on 60 Minutes all the time. Back when they still considered news to be their job.
2) The DNC -- Much was made of the non-vetting of Van Jones. How about the vetting of Obama? Shouldn't someone there had said "a 1/3 of first term Senator running for President? Hold your horses son and come back in about 12 years when you have actually had some experience.
3) The RNC -- Don't they have an opposition research team? Couldn't they have uncovered all the ACORN nonsense? I assume the purpose of the organization is to win elections. Doing so by telling the truth about your opponent is not dirty politics, mean-spirited, or racist.

But then you repeat other lying propaganda and add your vile opinion to the lie:
"He was a slimeball teacher of community organizing for ACORN"
Redeem yourself by linking to facts supporting your claims that "he taught community organizing for ACORN'. Otherwise you're just repeating propaganda lies and, expose yourself as a "slimeball teacher" of those lies.
I won't hold my breath waiting for the facts backing up your lies, cause they just don't exist in our universe. (I'll expect name calling instead then - bluster is always best when caught in a lie, huh coolarrow)
The best you've got, and hardly the ammunition to support your propaganda, is this: In the early 1990's, Obama did in fact succesfully represent Acorn in his capacity as an attorney by forcing The State of Illiinois to enforce existing Federal Election Law. The US Department of Justice, on behalf of all voters in the state, also sued the State of Illinois at the same time. Oooooohhhhh! Sounds ominous doesn't it?
The real truth is so boring.

All that proves is that you have a load of crazy whacko's trumping up a conspiracy that just ain't there.
From FactCheck.org: "An article by Chicago alderman Toni Foulkes says that "we [ACORN] have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year" between 1992 and 2004, when the article was written. The Obama campaign says that Obama participated in two, one-hour trainings in a volunteer capacity. Foulkes could not be reached for comment."
But why ruin a good conspiracy with facts.

See? If I give you a hoe, maybe you can learn to dig your own garden of independent thought and you won't rely so heavily on Obama's news outlets to tell you what to think.

So I quote FactChceck.org that can only site this record of fact referencing Obama's Acorn involvement: "The Obama campaign says that Obama participated in two, one-hour trainings in a volunteer capacity." And you extrapolate that to being proof of... what?
That's enough proof for your fellow sheep who are slapping you on the back for your genius, but it doesn't cut it in the real world.
Maybe "you won't rely so heavily on Obama's news outlets to tell you what to think." you advise. And maybe you won't rely so heavily on right wing websites to tell you what to think.
And maybe you won't rely on bloviators, like Rush, Beck, Hannity et als, who even tell you their opinionists and not journalist (thereby relieving them of any responsibility for integrity), to tell you what to think.
The right wing logic on the media: The Media is liberal so it lies. But the conservative media, they would never lie - they just tell me whatever I want to hear.
You do buy into that "Fair and Balanced" comedy don't you?
And who recently signed a $400 million contract for his radio program? None other than Rush - that entertainer sure gets the ratings doesn't he? And Fox News is thriving, O'Reilly points that out every day - they sure have a loyal, even rabid, following. They sure know what sells, too.

September 18, 2009 - 08:12 ET by Jack BauerA huge black turnout in November 1992 altered Chicago's electoral landscape—and raised a new political star: a 31-year-old lawyer named Barack Obama.
By Gretchen Reynolds
A huge black turnout in November 1992 altered Chicago's electoral landscape-and raised a new political star: a 31-year-old lawyer named Barack Obama.
The most effective minority voter registration drive in memory was the result of careful handiwork by Project Vote!, the local chapter of a not-for-profit national organization.
At the head of this effort was a little-known 31-year-old African-American lawyer, community organizer, and writer: Barack Obama.
PROJECT VOTE
Front group for the radical cult ACORN
Spearheads the Voting Rights Movement
Played a decisive role in pushing the 1993 Motor-Voter Bill through Congress
Project Vote is the voter-mobilization arm of ACORN. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose professed purpose is to carry out “non-partisan” voter registration drives; to counsel voters on their rights; and to litigate on behalf of voting rights — focusing on the rights of the poor and the “disenfranchised.”
Project Vote’s major program areas include the following:
Voter Participation Program: “[Since its inception], Project Vote has helped more than 4 million Americans in low-income and minority neighborhoods register to vote, including 1.1 million in 2003-04. In the same period, Project Vote reached more than 2.3 million low-income and minority voters to educate them about the importance of voting. Our methodology is based on face-to-face contact between voters and trusted community messengers, generally a representative of a local community organization.”
Election Administration Program: “[This program] encompasses every aspect of election implementation, from voter registration application design to voting booth placement to vote counting and everything in between. Working in neighborhoods nationwide, Project Vote documents voting problems and works closely with elections officials, secretaries of state, and state legislators to enact proactive, pragmatic solutions. A central component of our work is the inclusion of low-income and minority voters through the involvement of our community partners.”
NVRA Implementation Project: “[This] partnership between Project Vote, ACORN and Demos aims to improve voter registration services at public assistance agencies. Section 7 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 requires states to offer voter registration to public assistance clients upon application, recertification or renewal, and change of addresses. The Project … offers technical assistance.” The National Voting Rights Institute and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law have recently become co-administrators of this initiative.
The stated purpose of Project Vote is to work within the system, using conventional voter mobilization drives and litigation to secure the rights of minority and low-income voters under the U.S. Constitution. However, the organization’s actions indicate that its true agenda is to overwhelm, paralyze, and discredit the voting system through fraud, protests, propaganda and vexatious litigation. In this respect, Project Vote is following the so-called “crisis strategy” or Cloward-Piven Strategy pioneered during the Sixties by Columbia University political scientists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.
As a follow-up to their effort to collapse the welfare system in the 1960s, in 1983 Cloward and Piven founded the Human Service Employee Registration, Voting and Education campaign Fund (Human SERVE Fund). Its objective, they said, was to increase voter turnout among the poor. But unlike Project Vote, Human SERVE did not rely on conventional door-to-door canvassing, or even on the more effective method of registering people in food stamp and unemployment lines which Project Vote had pioneered. Rather, Human SERVE lobbied government officials directly to enact laws and regulations directing public employees to offer to register citizens applying for services at government agencies. This effort realized its grandest ambition on May 20, 1993, when President Clinton signed the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 — commonly called the “Motor-Voter Act.” It ordered every state to provide resources enabling people to register to vote at state agencies, at the same time they applied for drivers’ licenses, welfare, Medicaid and disability benefits. In June 2000, Cloward and Piven dissolved Human SERVE, leaving to ACORN and Project Vote the task of making the Motor Voter “crisis strategy” work at the polls. It did, in fact, fuel an explosion of fraudulent voters.
In 1996, Project Vote became involved in Teamstergate — a criminal conspiracy to embezzle funds from the Teamster treasury, launder them through outside organizations, and then siphon them back into the re-election war chest of Teamsters President Ron Carey in 1996. According to trial testimony, the operation was approved by high-level White House and Democratic Party officials.
A persistent pattern of lawlessness has followed ACORN/Project Vote activists over the years. For example, one Project Vote contractor — a single mother of three — forged 400 voter registration cards in 1998. “Some of the addresses listed on these applications were traced to vacant lots, boarded-up buildings, abandoned buildings, and nonexistent house numbers,” notes a report by the Employment Policies Institute. Former Miami-Dade field director for ACORN’s 2004 voter mobilization Mac Stuart has testified that fraud is standard procedure for ACORN/Project Vote canvassers — behavior that is not only tolerated but encouraged by supervisors. “[T]he voter registration project has been operating illegally since it started,” Stuart told investigators.
In the 2004 election cycle, ACORN and Project Vote canvassers fanned out by the thousands across battleground states, turning up repeatedly in press reports and on police blotters in connection with fraudulent petitioning and voter registration. Canvassers were caught or accused of filing registrations in duplicate, filing them for deceased or imaginary people or, in some cases, destroying large numbers of Republican registrations.

No one smacked me down because no one presented one fact supporting their propaganda lies. All I read were insults and accusations, the only ammunition available to liars.
And not to be too nuanced for you, but all I was asking for was corraborating evidence that any more than 10's of thousands of teapartiers showed up in DC. No one presented that evidence since it simply did not exist, except in the wishful thinking of the kool aid drinkers. Just trying to keep them honest, just like Newsbusters claims is their mission.

I can hear the shredders going in the ACORN offices and someone is probably going through LOTUS's old papers with white-out and erasers. Could that be why he never released his client list or the papers from his time in the legislature in Illinois? Hmmmmm.
Let us hope and pray that the adults take back both Houses in 2010 and stops him and the brain-dead Democrats from doing any more harm to this country.

Great job on the work done Hannah and James!
Well John, we never did
September 16, 2009 - 21:47 ET by Scuba DudeWell John, we never did think that libtards and their minions are the sharpest tools in the shed, just the loudest and most obnoxious. They are happy to help out others who they believe think and act like them. That is why we see them going to such extreme's to help out these brave kids who had them believing they were a pimp and a prostitute.

stereotyping by A Corn
September 16, 2009 - 22:43 ET by jon_torlinI thought of something and if someone else thought of it as well, I promise, I didn't go to the "how to write a paper" class taught by Biden. You say the girl's a cutie and you're right, she really is.
But on the surface when she was doing those stings, isn't it interersting that the ladies at A Corn just simply accepted her as being a ho? (yes, the outfit helped) Almost like "white chick definitely a ho with that dude" kind of thing.
Nevermind the fact that those people were willing to show how to circumvent the law and etc, but their opinion of people truly was in the gutter regarding this girl.
Did anyone else get that impression, especially since it happened all 4 locations that we saw videos of?
-Jon
Yeah, that just kills me.
September 17, 2009 - 13:40 ET by jakewashereYeah, that just kills me. Hannah and James were just accepted as illegitimate businesspersons on their own recognizance.
Nobody thought to tell James, "Look, there are better ways to make it than pimping your girlfriend out -- better and legal ways. We can offer you some advice there, if you really want it."
Nobody looked at Hannah and said, "What the hell are you doing in this Godawful line of work? You look smart enough to make it without selling your body... Get out and get your life turned around before this pimp James ruins you."
They just said, in essence, well, you're in an illegitimate line of work, and since there's no point in trying to help you get out of it, we may as well help you hide it from the authorities.

Stewart did what was routine for him
September 17, 2009 - 17:28 ET by 007memoStewart did what was actually routine for him in presenting a scathing criticism of the media.
The fact that he also calls out politicians for their dishonesty and hypocrisy doesn't make his criticism any less valid because the target is one of your own sacred cows.
And, while I don't agree that these videos are an indictment of the entire Acorn organization, not yet anyway, the videos certainly indict these particular immoral, repugnant excuses for "community" organizers.
If it's proven that Acorn's corruption goes deeper than a few bad apples, they deserve severe consequences. Since they've been shamed, the media will now go to work with their investigations.

September 17, 2009 - 17:34 ET by Cool ArrowIf you had kids, you'd know that if the babysitter you use was accused of child molestation by five other parents, you'd drop that babysitter in a heartbeat. Innocent until proven guilty be damned.
It's inexplicable that you believe they should continue to receive funds until the investigation is done. Unless, of course you're the babysitter.

Jon is a devout NYC/east coast liberal. Only because this ACORN scandal is so outrageously over the top and a slam-dunk of real criminality is he taking them and the media to task.
"And, while I don't agree that these videos are an indictment of the entire Acorn organization, not yet anyway, the videos certainly indict these particular immoral, repugnant excuses for "community" organizers."
So far it's now four videos, and about 7-8 people, across four different states. Keep in mind, 14 states are being investigated for voter fraud, too. For you, what number of videos exposing it's employees, investigations, House/Senate votes, etc., need to unfold before it all starts to be an indictment of ACORN as a whole?
"Since they've been shamed, the media will now go to work with their investigations."
A heaping load of BS. They still have no desire to go anywhere near it. Have you looked at the NYTimes, for example? Right up to today, a good week 1/2 into unfolding developments, and they're still burying it. No headline anywhere of the House or Senate votes. One article in the Politics section so far.

September 17, 2009 - 18:07 ET by MrShyYou're absolutely right. I was sort of curious how they acted so fast... but that would explain it. Once a second video came out, a third, they're thinking "sh*t, let's do something cosmetic now so people will be satisfied..."

lame
September 18, 2009 - 12:39 ET by lotrExcuse me, but just where exactly does the buck stop? Even Jon Stewart is capable of pointing out, with scathing sarcasm, just exactly how bad this is: Three major metropolitan east coast offices all found to reak with corruption. Sorry, but this sample, coupled with the whole voter fraud scandals, is more than ample to demonstrate a systemic problem. The bad apples were speaking and acting for the organization. They were acting in "official capacity," not merely saying dumb things while drunk at a party one night.

September 17, 2009 - 21:08 ET by Off DutyIt's Thursday Sept. 17, 2009 - 10 PM, EST, and I just left "media matters" web site where they are bouncing off the walls in sheer panic. You think Stewart is funny, (and BTW....he was), you gotta go read some of the panic in the media matters commentary. And then you gotta ask yourself...just what is it about the left that makes them so incisive, thoughtful and self-lauding, especially when they are discovered standing naked in the middle of Grand Central Station, (figuratively), and having sex with under-aged girls from Central America. Ya gotta give 'em this.....when their slips are just too obvious; they still manage to entertain with their indignation. What clowns.
