The View Sticks Up For ACORN: Republicans Aren't Going to Take Care of the Poor

The ladies of ABC's "The View" on Thursday spoke out against Republicans who "have always felt that there was something a little off about ACORN," and said the embattled community organization needs to be given a second chance because "the Republicans aren't going to take care of [the poor]."

Sure...who cares that they're advising people how to set up child prostitution rings, cheat banks, and evade taxes if they're helping the poor?

Of course, nobody on the panel pointed out that the Democrats currently control both Chambers of Congress as well as the White House.

Alas, facts are never important to these folks when they get on a roll (video embedded below the fold with rough transcript, h/t our dear friend Ms Underestimated with assistance from Jeff Poor):

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: So the fallout continues over the filmmaker who posed as a pimp and visited offices of community outreach group ACORN. Now Sean Hannity showed this clip last night of the filmmaker asking how to get underage prostitutes across the border. Take a look. [...]

GOLDBERG: So, just, you couldn't understand what they were saying. Here is the gist of what happened. ACORN is a group that is a group of community organizers. They have several places across the country and they work with poor folks and disenfranchised folks for housing, for medical health and all kinds of stuff. The Republicans have always felt that there was something a little off about ACORN and no one could actually put their finger on it. So now two young filmmakers who say that they're conservatives went out to show the kinds of people that are working for ACORN and to give credence to the ideas that, you know, this is not a good organization. I think my --

BARBARA WALTERS: It's like saying that prostitutes can...

GOLDBERG: ...by showing that you can talk, they talked to five different places and they talked to five different people who all -- they asked questions like how do we run prostitutes or how do we set up crack houses or whatever, just stuff that you know you don't want to see. So there's now a lot of discussion in Washington whether they should take away ACORN's funding, whether they should see it dismantled, see it disappear?

JOY BEHAR: I understand that they have taken their funding away already.

GOLDBERG: Not all of it.

BEHAR: Well, a lot of it. It was voted in Congress to take it away. 87 to a few others. I don't know.

GOLDBERG: But here is my question. So, we have seen over the last couple of years boneheads in all organizations. We've seen them on Wall Street, we've seen them in the banking system, we've seen them in Washington, we've seen them all over. Do we dismantle the Senate and the Congress and all of Wall Street and all of these places because there's boneheads -- you know what I want to say really badly but I can't -- in all of these places. So here's my question: who suffers when ACORN disappears?

BEHAR: Poor people.

GOLDBERG: So maybe it's not a good idea to throw the baby out with the bath water. It's better to --

WALTERS: Keep, change things, which ACORN is trying to do. They've shut down all the branches that were compromised, I'm reading, they're conducting staff training. They are ordering independent investigations. We gave some of the banks a chance, didn't we, until they found their way. For heaven sakes - I mean, Whoopi and I have, gove them a chance. Let them try to do what they're supposed to do and don't hurt the poor people that don't have any chance.

SHERRI SHEPHERD:: Because you've had these are isolated incidents.

BEHAR: More oversight on all of these things.

GOLDBERG: Everything, I mean, you know, there are boneheads in all organizations. We've worked for them. We know that they're there. But do you kill the whole thing? And I don't think so. A lot of people think that you should kill it. But you can't answer, you can't tell me where those people who become even more disenfranchised go. Because we know the Republicans aren't going to take care of them. Cause we see that doesn't work anymore for them. So now where do they go? I am sick and tired of people dismantling stuff and saying, "Oh, we're for the people," and then leaving the people this. Because they don't care. Find a way to fix it.

BEHAR: They haven't dismantled the Catholic Church and they have some boneheads in there.

GOLDBERG: This is true.

Amazing.

ACORN neglected the poor

They used the poor in name to raise funds.  They had Rathkes bro embezzle money.

Getting a poor person a mortgasge and housepayment he can't afford is not being helpful.

Think of how much more

Think of how much more there would be if the heads of ACORN weren't skimming taxpayers dollars off the top. And republicans are already taking care of the poor through taxes paid and donations. ACORN is nothing more that a money making scheme that spreads taxpayer's money while taking their generous cut.

It is literally a Racketeering operation, part of a huge criminal syndicate, also see S.E.I.U., etc.

Correct 7. Liberals are so

Correct 7. Liberals are so misguided. You do not "take care of the poor"

You take care of the infirm, the disabled, the elderly and the unborn.

Then give the able, poor or not, as much opportuinty as everyone else to fail or succeed.

So,

I guess that means whoopi is against the didmantling of health care that the 0 proposes? Somehow, I doubt it. 

"I am sick and tired of people dismantling stuff and saying, "Oh, we're
for the people," and then leaving the people this. Because they don't
care. Find a way to fix it."

Isn't that what we have been saying about health care???

"If the man, with the power, can't keep it under control...some heads are gonna roll." -Judas Priest

Find a way to fix

Find a way to fix it."

Even at that, the health care problems can be fixed without destroying the whole system.

The fact that these things occurred in different cities points to an organizational philosophy, not the misdeeds of a few employees.  How do you "fix" an organization that is corrupt.... give them a slap on the wrist and say "Don't do that any more"?

We're not talking about sloppy bookkeeping here, we're talking about criminal acts.

But what the hell, hey, Whoopie?  Sometimes they help the poor people find houses etc.  Heaven knows those folks won't have anywhere at all to go if ACORN shuts its doors in their town!

On occasion, Whoopi shows some common sense. But this just shows that when push comes to shove, race trumps all.

 

Careful, Restless One!

"I guess that means Whoopi is against the dismantling of health care that the 0 proposes? Somehow, I doubt it."

How dare you say that about sweet little Whoopi! Why, that sounds like a racist statement to me! BWHAHAHAHAHA!

grr

just grrr.  I would love to be able to have 50 words to say to these women while they are all gagged.

If ACORN could only survive with government funding it should have gone the way of the dinosaur long ago.  If they don't die with government funding well then they are only wasting the money of the very stupid.  But they shouldn't be let near any program that handles voting, taxes, immigration, children's programs, or entitlement programs.

They don't help the poor, they exploit them.

And what do the view ladies

And what do the view ladies have to say about the ACORN voter registrations? Do they also have an excuse for the following?

  • The names of Mickey Mouse in Florida, Batman in New Mexico and Dallas Cowboys football players in Nevada.

  • 16,000 suspicous registrations in Pennsylvania

  • Felony charges against a former Acorn canvasser for allegedly forging six voter applications

And how about Obama's defense of this activity: Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democrats' presidential candidate, said Tuesday (14 Oct 2008) that fears of such fraud affecting election results are misplaced.

There is much more to ACORN than is visible to the naked eye. Just as there is to Obama. But I guess that the view ladies think everything is ok -- just as long as ACORN says they are helping the poor.

The defense.

Mickey's real. And lives in Florida. I've been to his house. He lives in a town called Toon Town. The ACORN worker must have seen him when getting off the train in Toon Town.

Just ask your kids or grand kids.

Therefore the rest must be real.

I wasn't so upset by how my mother voted. But if she came all the way back from the dead to do it. She should have at least stopped by to say hello.

Bone heads, ah go go, as far as the eye can see.

What is so good is that there ARE 5 acorn VIDEOS!!!

"the Republicans aren't going to take care of [the poor]."

I just hired a poor person last week , he worked and I payed him.

I gave money to my Church for poor folk....

I am now forced against my will by my paying of my taxes, to kill the unborn.. shall I quit?

State controlled health care is Tort Reform.

Sounds like there are more

Sounds like there are more tapes. But they will take a break and sit on them a while. Just kind of let these settle in.

The funny thing. They went to sting ACORN. But they also stung the dead media and these idiots who are doing contortions to excuse ACORN.

After all it could have been worse. Like the Mark Sanford affair.

HAHAHAHAHA. HEHEHE. I didn’t even know about it. Um. So, you’ve got me at a loss. I don’t know. (Charles Gibson of the dead media.)

Poor people.

Oh, those poor prostitutes an their pimps!  We need to take care of them!  So, they traffic in child prostitution?  Who cares?  They're POOR!

Come on, Liberals, you can come up with a better excuse than that!

Acorn

Well let me get this straight. These bitties on "The View," support an organization that not only promotes prostitution as a vocation, and transporting foreign minor girls across the border for immoral and illegal purposes to be used ostensibly as sex slaves, but also does so with money supplied from the US Government? In addition, offers tax ivasion advice? Oh and wasn't one of these ACORN gals seen and heard bragging about committing murder?  Am I leaving something out?

Wow I guess I never crossed my mind that women, liberal or otherwise would advocate for an organization as corrupt as this. Ain't this special!!! ABC must be proud of this program!!

Debatable assumptions

  1. Community organizing is a great thing. Quite the contrary, community organizing is little different than ward captains with wads of cash. It's nothing but an exchange: you vote the way we want, and we'll talk to politically pliant congressmen and bureaucrats on your behalf. Simply put, community organizing = political organizing. It tries to turn the poor into a political constituency. Patrick Moynihan debunked the effectiveness of this strategy in the 1960s.
  2. Republicans don't care about the poor. Wrong. Republicans do, however, deny that assembling poor people into victim-minded herds is the best way to help.
  3. No one will help the poor if ACORN doesn't. After all the liberal promises of the War on Poverty, and hundreds of welfare programs, are they saying that only ACORN works with the poor?  Besides, all ACORN does is facilitate the services of existing agencies -- those agencies are already available to offer services, and we're already paying for them. Also, the Catholic church, along with hundreds of other churches and traditional "social service" agencies, vehemently disagree with the idea that no one else can help the poor. 
  4. Politics solves poverty. Yeah, it's been real effective so far, hasn't it?

Ultimately, the premise behind ACORN and all other "community organizing" groups is to politicize poverty, and experience shows that the poor don't benefit ... but the organizers do. One is now president.

That explains a lot

"No one will help the poor if ACORN doesn't/"

That explains a lot, like how, according to the Liberals, the number of poor Americans keeps rising, especially in the last 10 years or so, the same10 years or so that the number of people working for Acorn has ballooned to such vast numbers. 

Hay, Liberals, Acorn doesn't seem to be doing a very good job "helping" the poor, unless Acorn is "helping" people BECOME poor! The larger Acorn becomes, the more state and federal dollars they receive, the more people they "help" with those tax dollars, the larger the number of "poor" people living in America. Care to explain this?

They cannot help but lie...it is their nature as liberals...

Arthur C. Brooks finds that religious conservatives are far more
charitable than secular liberals, and that those who support the idea
that government should redistribute income are among the least likely
to dig into their own wallets to help others.

islam is a lie and Truth is killing it.

You dio if you're a liberal

"Do we dismantle the Senate and the Congress and all of Wall Street and all of these places because there's boneheads"

You do if you're a Liberal and the "bonehead" is a conservative. or a private citizen.  What happened to GM's CEO?  You know, the 'bonehead" who lead them into bankruptcy?  Oh, that's right.  He was fired after the federal government, controlled by Liberals,  took control of GM.

What happened to passenger rail after the "boneheads' in charge took the companies into bankruptcy?  Oh, that's right, the Government took over, right?  That pretty much "dismantled" the existing companies, didn't it?

What happened to the Republican Senators and Representatives who got caught with their pants down, so to speak?  Oh that's right, they got booted out, didn't they?  The same with the corrupt Republicans.  they all got booted out, right?  And you Liberals all though it was a good idea, didn't you?

Be honest, Liberal.  You're all for dismantling existing structures (political or private, it makes no difference to you) and booting out the "boneheads," that is causing problems as long as they're not DEMOCRAT boneheads.  That's why you're called hypocrites!  That's why you ARE hypocrites!

With a combined weight of 1500 lbs. you would think the "3 F Club"  that is the 'Frequent Fliers of Fat', could muster up a better combined I.Q. then their weight and come up with some better explanation then to carry Obama's water.

Joking aside, this is blatently pathetic liberal diatribe from the 'gals'  and THAT is exactly what it is!!! We didn't have ACORN scandels until we knew of Obama's connection let alone even heard of this organization.

Even more upsetting, and everyone should realize is that they have a huge audience of couch potato housewives who will drink their Kool-Aid.

The View hasn't got a clue

As shown at this 2005 BizzyBlog post,
the Gini index, also referred as the Gini coefficient, was .462 at the
end of the Clinton administration, after rising by .029 during the
previous eight years.

As Bush 43's administration round the turn and heads for home,
income inequality has barely budged by a statistically insignificant
.001. To the extent that the rich have become richer, the poor, and
everyone in between, have on the whole benefited in virtually equal
proportion.

Income inequality increased by 29 times as much during Clinton's eight years than it has during Bush's first seven.

Not that the left won't run with the class envy theme anyway, but it
should be made known to all that the extent to which Barack Obama and
his minions claim that the differences between the haves and have-nots
has widened during the administration of George W. Bush.... is the extent
to which they are not telling the truth.

Liked the dig at the Catholic Church there.  Incredible.

An amazing double standard where Jews can publicly attack Christianity, but to attack Judaism is = to Hitler and the Nazis.  They've got all this wrapped up very well.  The Nuremberg guilt trip continues.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

I don't think Joyless is Jewish, I believe she's of Italian descent.  However she is still a disgracefull nitwit, and that's being charitable!!

Actually, a lot of Fortune

Actually, a lot of Fortune 500 CEO's, small-medium size business owners, general contractors and professionals are Republicans.  Guess what: all these people EARN comfortable salaries which is taxed to death by the city, state and Federal tax schemes which pay for the honestly- poor and the lazy-poor in welfare, foodstamps, educational programs, national defense, medical, etc.

Oh, and the entrepreneurial Republicans also take risks that nobody else want to take and when they succeed, they create jobs. 

If nobody was an overachieving Republican, the country would have no tax revenue.

As Gordon Gecko once said: GREED WORKS!  It makes great people earn great livings that pay GREAT TAX REVENUES.

Wow, I can't believe

Wow, I can't believe they're defending ACORN.  All they care about is keeping their power.   They fear that with ACORN gone they won't be able to steal elections for some time coming.

Don't they have any shame?

This organization is infested with people that will aid criminals in concealing human trafficking and child prostitution.  Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if ACORN has ties to organized crime.  It's not something new amongst left wing activist groups.  Everyone knows of history labor unions and the mafia have had with each other. 

It's not the first time these people have been approached about something like this.  They aided him out of pure greed.  They probably believed the "pimp" would return the favor with some employment opportunities down the line.  The guy in the video shown on the View was a damn coyote.  He was telling the guy he knew some people that could sneak them in.  ACORN employee making scratch on the side as a coyote.

 
The democrats can't be allowed to just slightly cut off  ACORN's funding.  They'll just downsize it so it can build it up later the same way it is now.

 

Im gonna ralphhhhhhhhhhh!!

These people are sick!!! They have blind alegiance to the great one. And to anything that pertains to liberalism. UNREAL!!!! Why of course,why take down the whole system??? whoopi, your a sick animal. You should be taken down. In a non-violent way of course. She should be banned from having the luxury to come on national TV and spew her defense for such VILE acts that acorn has portrayed  in these videos. I'm gonna puke, I swear. And the other jackass(beyhare or whatever her name is..no offense to our Jewish friends on the Right. But she has some ball s commenting on the Catholic church. I'm not taking her right to free speech, but that comment had NOTHING to do with what acorn has been accused of doing. Yeah, child molesters..there were a few. But according to whoopi...why take out the WHOLE org....RIGHT!!!!! HAAAA At least the priests weren't showing parrishoners how to set up child brothels....PLEASE YOU OLD BIDDIES!!! Again, Jewish folks...please do not take offense to my comment about beyhar...I just don't think she had any bussines putting that in.

She's Italian.  Not sure

She's Italian.  Not sure if she's an Italian jew but I think she claims to be catholic, not sure.   Anyhow, she's a dimwit.  The Catholic church has had problems with pedophile priests but so do public schools and community youth organizations. 

Incidences of public school teachers abusing students are not as covered because of the unions.  They have strong ties to the democrat party just like ACORN.   School unions force school districts to cover up child abuse cases, specially in low income and minority areas.  Teachers are just moved from school to school when allegations come up and parents are never told about when a teacher is accused of abuse due to labor agreements and the like.  

Anyhow, look at this ACORN deal.  Child prostitution, human slavery, human trafficking... all these things are okay in a "PROGRESSIVE INSTITUTION."  These are the same type of people that complain about human slavery in asia.  These are the people who want more humanitarian aid to DARFUR!  Look at what they are condoning and even aiding in the USA!  These are crimes against humanity.

ACORN workers don't seem even the slightest bit suspicious of this white undercover documentarist when he asks for their help in this endeavor?  Is this why democrats may want to sweep this under the rug so fast?  Will we find deep connections to organized crime?  Russian mob? Mexican mob?  Asian mob?  Congressman having their sex parties catered by crime rings through ACORN? 

I wonder who tipped off O'keefe and Giles. 

So how much?

Have these cows given to the lower income ( ones not making the millions a year they do) in the past 5 years? And add to that the $20 all the dems have given?

So It really sounds like you don't have a problem with bringing in 13, 14 and 15 year old Girls, Illegally, kidnapped from their families, sold into prostitution, taken away from the life, family and friends they knew and loved....transported to another country, brought across into another country illegally, (possibly with NO hope of ever seeing or being able to contact their own family ever again) placed into another situation were they could possibly be abused over and over for the pleasure of perverted child predators, possibly made to take drugs or beaten, given little of no education, kept as salves to be used for pedophiles... and this was the advice from all 5 offices so far; not to mention the advice on how to cheat on taxes; defraud the government to get into section 8 housing; possibly food stamps and welfare..list goes on and on.... 

 Whoopi I really used to believe you didn't believe in "Slavery" ... is it because they only are just coming from El Salvador, or would it be different in your mind, if they came from somewhere else; China; Russia; The Czech Republic; The Middle East; Poland; Middle America, (maybe kidnapped from a high school "Spring Break" trip) ... I won't mention any country in Africa, you might say I was being "racists".

If this had been done by an organization that say helped, oh who can I think of... ahhh....George Bush or Dick Cheney... there would have already been a "Special Attorney appointed, the FBI would have gone into each office and seized all documents and computers; Chain locked with crime tape everywhere every office;  The IRS would be launching an investigation, and every Main Stream Media outlet including your show would be speculating on "Who knew "What and When" running nothing but this; with maybe a break or two for a Michale Jackson story

Why did it take your So call "Informative" Women's news show well over a week to even start discussing something like this... I had always believed you all were looking out for women's rights in America..... 

This is not a Right or Left thing... it is the bad advice, by at least 5 different offices, on how to cheat the government out of EVERYONES tax payer dollars! Maybe there are still more tapes out there!

Maybe you should call up Bertha Lewis "The former the CEO of ACORN" and offer her a job...sound like she is about to be added to the unemployment line! 

 

Haliburton

They should have said for the first one it is a division of Haliburton, just to set the tone, then have an unedited one released showing it clearly being Acorn. 

Whoopi - supporting Child Prostitution one Acorn office at a time.

Definitions

The left's definition of "taking care of the poor" means giving them programs and handouts that 1) keep them dependent on the government and 2) keep them poor.  I mean, where would all the jobs for "poverty advocates" go if people actually weren't poor anymore?  That wouldn't be lucrative for some people, so they keep Americans - usually minorities - living in abject poverty to further a political or personal agenda.

The right's definition of "taking care of the poor" deals more with charity, and figuring out ways to make the poor self-reliant and, you know, not poor any more.  And I guess I have a problem with our definition of "poor" when most Americans, even those living at or below our set poverty level, are doing worlds better than the poor elsewhere.

Aut viam inveniam aut faciam

Boneheads in the Church...where else?!

Last time I checked, the Catholic Church was not slated to receive $86 billion dollars in taxpayers' money.

Behar does have a point though:  the Church is full of boneheads.  There's no better place for us to be.  Where else can we get the help we need to stop being boneheads?  

The Church is for those willing to be perfected in Christ...not the already perfect.

I feel sorry for the men (if any) who are married to them.

Can someone PLEASE tell me

What qualifications any of these hens have to comment on things they have no expertise on? Babwa Wawwa? Pullleeezze She is the worst interviewer ever. According to her book she slept her way to the middle. ( shivvvver. apparently men will do a snake if someone would hold the head) She is an icon because she did it first. The rest make gross misstatements and lie more than...well Michael Moore....and Barack Obama.

Should be named "The Rumor"

Duck -

The View is a prime example of what happens when irresponsible people are never challenged on what they say.  Couple that with their childish drive to say provocative things and the nervous, giggly responses they get from their audience to encourage them and you have a runaway bus.

They are, like a lot of liberals, bullies who have no ethics and will say anything to gain an advantage over people whose beliefs they don't share.

The name of the show should be "The Spew" because that's exactly what they do.

"The View" is an attempt to prove that women can just sit around and chat about all those topics that chauvinists supposedly reserve for men.  If we use the show's celebs as a standard, the 19th Amendment will have to be repealed.  The sad part is that some people actually "learn" about politics from these ditzes.

Helping the poor-will you "ladies" show us YOUR tax return

Republicans give more charity that Democrats. These idiots wouldn't show us what they give.

Government programs don't help poor, it keeps them poor.

These are the useful idiots Lenin spoke of.

I bet they give about 1-2%% of their income to charity-tops, and that is being "charitable".

 

 

How much money can you spend in a year?

If these overpaid morons decided not take their multi-million dollar salaries for one year and formed a charity instead, they could build an entire town of Habitat For Humanity style housing.

ACORN good for the poor?

When an organization, even if you believe that this is "isolated" to 5 offices, promotes child prostitution and tells a "pimp" how to setup a house to do it, who is this organization helping?  Is it the poor they are helping or themselves?

So let me make sure I understand the libs on the View....ACORN helps poor people.  ACORN also helps Pimps and Prostitutes in tax evasion and money laundering.  ACORN helps child traffickers.  If ACORN loses its funding then poor people suffer.  Got it.

When I hear anyone defend ACORN I think two things:  They are pedophiles, and they defend child prostitution.  There is no middle ground for me. 

After seeing what we have all seen, is there any other conclusion?  Of course not!  No excuse, no reason covers what these folks stand for.  It is not just a 'few".  It is nationwide, there are more tapes coming, and if possible, probably worse then we've seen. 

If the Justice Department is not investigating these monsters then we have to assume that there is no Justice Department.  In which case, it time we took this problem into our own hands.  If no one else does, we know what justice is.  Apparently the rule of law doesn't apply to all, therefore, there is no law. 

Think how many times this may have actually happened!!  These folks aren't rookies in breaking the law.  How many crack or meth houses have they let through, with a kickback of course.  If you haven't been able to tell, I am mad as a wet hen over this BS, and I want something done about it!!  These maggots will be back, with another name, after more tax dollars!  Cut these tapeworms off at the root! NOW!!

 

Justice Department

Don't hold your breath waiting for the Justice Department under Eric Holder aka Herman Goerring to investigate! Do you recall the Black Panthers intimidating white voters in Philadelphia? Herr Holder saw no cause to investigate! Did the fact that they were black have any effect on his decision? These ACORN employees are black and the journalist are white. Two to one, Holder investigates them and charges them with a crime, much like the CIA agents he is going after!

The galling thing about

The galling thing about shows like The View and daytime television in general is that they promote the notion that all American women are defacto liberal. While the women who come to this website obviously stay informed about things beyond the mainstream media, I’d like to ask you are your friends the same as you or do they fall for the tripe dished out by shows like the View and Oprah.   I have a vision of a daytime show starring Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and Miclelle Malkin.  They would have guests from across the political spectrum, people with conservative views would not be mugged and they would have real discussions instead of verbal food fights.  Do you suppose it would draw an audience? 

Dang Right!

They are dang right the Republicans aren't going to take care of the poor. It is not their job, neither is it the government's responsibility to take care of the poor.

It is the poor's responsibility to take care of themselves.

It is the government's job to get out of the way. And Republicans want to see that government is reduced to the point where it no longer hinders ANY individual's responsibility to take care of themself.

And leftist psychologist

And leftist psychologist hacks have the audacity to claim conservatism is a mental disorder or disease?  These people are clearly sick.  It has nothing to do with their severe ignorance of the subject they're discussing or their woefully fallacious equivocations. 

It has to do with defending the systemic amoral, illegal, unethical, and abhorrent behavior of a large institution.  They're defending this organization simply because it's one of their own, truth and reality be damned. 

THAT is diseased thinking.

The View

I didn't know that this lousy show is still on the air! I mean, whom can actually watch these hacks, without throwing up!

Blohar never misses an opportunity

There's no more vehement church-bashers than 'ex-Catholics' like Blohar.

(With the possible exception of our own beloved Mr. Sticks The Secular Jew)

Same old commie song

Singing the commie song of the ages -- hit it --- "we will take care of the poor"

So that's why Odumbo canceled the voucher program for inner city kids, so he could "take care" of them. Do you think maybe the Democrats don't want minorities uneducated, and just maybe minorities don't want to be "taken care of". hmmm might be.

By now, after decades of "taking care of them", keeping them uneducated and down on the Democrat's plantation, you would think the blacks would figure this out.

Why is it liberals never think, maybe minorities want the same opportunity for bettering themselves through hard work that others want. The best help for self esteem I ever found was a productive job.

 

BTW, "taking care of the poor" is that racism I hear from the view-ettes?  Who says that about other adult humans but racists. Assumes the poor can't take care of themselves -- typical liberals. Sure sounds like racism.

I am fed up with the liberals holier than though race baiting crap.

I have run out of things to say about these three morons

-Dave

I agree with Rush. It's time for Obama to resign.

Behar's lawsuit failed

She had sued the producers of the movie "Babe" (about the talking pig). She'd claimed that the movie's concept was based on her life and she hadn't received any royalties.

But the judge dismissed the lawsuit on the grounds that "Babe" was a cute piglet while Joy is an ugly sow.

In a gesture of conciliation,  Joy took Babe to an all-you-can-eat buffet for lunch. When the restaurant's owner exclaimed, "you can't bring that filthy swine in here, our reputation would suffer!", Babe replied, "I didn't bring her, she brought me".

The Spew

You know, my family and I aren't swimming in money. I don't want help from ANYONE. And yes, it's hilarious that they don't mention the Democrats being in power.

bone head

that was a panel of bone heads and the big bone head is in the White House.   Im glad I dont watch this show, my head would explode...

mom

The poor

"the Republicans aren't going to take care of [the poor]."

1) Why should Republicans when the Democrats are doing such a good job of "taking care of the poor". (Wink, wink.)

2) I didn't realize the role of Government was to "take care of" anyone.

 

"If God is dead, somebody is going to have to take his place. It will
be megalomania or erotomania, the drive for power or the drive for
pleasure, the clenched fist or the phallus, Hitler or Hugh Hefner."

The Twisted View

I suppose that these nutbags didn't notice that the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Reps voted overwhelmingly to withdraw government funds from this criminal organization called acorn.

How about letting them only take care of the poor?

So what is wrong if they only take care of the poor then? Why do they need to be involved in politics at all?

Here's why...

Listen closely to this guy! 

"The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy"

 

I agree

I agree Mighty. What I meant to say is only take care of the poor, not politics. Does it matter who is the president? Does it matter who is governor? Does it matter who is mayor? If the purpose is to help the poor they do not need any government assistance. The poor will always need assistance.

The Republicans aren't going

The Republicans aren't going to take care of the poor? Since when it is the responsibility of any political party to "take care" of everyone? 

Pitiful. Most of these women have IQs of a toaster...

Pitiful. Most of these women have IQs of a toaster.* Yes, let's give them all a second chance. Give them a second chance to do what? What is ACORN going to do that hasn't already been done? How many billions more for a new war on poverty or the pipe dream NCLB nonsense? The NCLB sure did a great job of bridging the racial gap, didn't it? If you'll notice, the only thing the Democrats and Left have done is to insure their election by creating a dependent constituent class who will forever be subservient and who will vote for the soul-less left wing nuts of our world. Success comes from competence. Why won't someone ask President Obama why his distribution of funds as a community organizer in Chicago went out primarily to indoctrinate rather than to educate. Sadly, we know what the answer is--and we know too that Republicans are not blameless in all of this.

 * Ann Coulter's characterization of Leftist nuts.

brains and mouths

Yep, Thalpy -- Goldi Boopwherg was such a good match with Rosie O'Donut on that show -- with the brains of a toaster and the mouth of a <a href="http://driftline.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/marine-critter-thursday-basking-sharks/">Basking Shark</a>...

Rosie added that special touch by having the body of a Walrus and the personality of a Tasmanian Devil, to boot.

false advertising?

If anyone can 'splain what was wrong with the anchor tag in my last remark (above), I'd 'preciate it.  Is there some magic incantation that must be recited for the HTML to show up as a link?

better to say the ladies on the view

are toast!

The View comments

I find it very difficult to defend anything that The View ladies discuss on their show. I would just once like to hear them say something, anything, that I could say Wow, I agree with that. But it never happens. Maybe there is something wrong with me? Sorry, but I found it difficult to watch that video.

I'm just getting tired of having to scream at my TV/Monitor.

jkmatyi--

You're one up on me because I don't even bother watching those clips anymore, out of concern for my mental well-beaing.

Yea, ok

"the Republicans aren't going to take care of [the poor]."

 Last time I looked the Dems controlled just about every inner city we have, and have for years. So remind me how they have been taking care of the poor? Are they creating jobs?, Giving them better education opportunities? What are they doing for them, besides using them as pawns while they increase their control and power abilities over them?

 My Gov. thinks I am dangerous, so be careful

"Television is a freak show" Bernie Goldberg

Family Guy had it right

The View is nothing more than a bunch of clucking chickens. I feel exactly like Stewie if someone happens to be watching it.

First of all,

First of all, disenfranchised?  Why are they disenfranchised?  If they are legal citizens they can vote so they aren't disenfranchised.

Secondly, why aren't these women, these mothers, appalled at the idea of ACORN endorsing bringing in 13-15 year old girls to be prostitutes.  THAT is slaverly Whoopie, why aren't you screaming about that? 

ACORN helps the poor?

ACORN helps the poor? Really Whoppi?  Let's see, they got them loans they couldn't afford, the poor had to make a choice between having a roof over their heads or eating, then they lost their home, ruined their credit completely and now are in worse shape than before...  Boy, with friends like you who needs enemies.  

But Whoppi, it doesn't stop there, not only did ACORN saddle the poor with a mortgage they couldn't afford, they did so many of them like in California that they couldn't even do a short sale to preserve their credit, they were forced into full blown foreclosure with a whole bunch of other poor people trying to sell at the same time.  Not only was ACORN part and parcle of making poor people homeless, now the banks aren't loaning money unless your credit is really good.  ACORN screwed everyone and your buddy Barack Obama was their lawyer suing Citibank to make those so called predatory loans, which were actually called diversity loans.

Republicans and Conservatives would never do such a thing as to make things worse for the poor, we make things better by encouraging businesses to expand and thereby creating jobs.  Jobs that help people move up the economic ladder, not false promises and handouts that keep the poor at the bottom like you mean vicious liberals.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.

I was going to disagree with Whoopi but

I was going to disagree with Whoopi but I won't 'cause I  don't want to be called a RACIST!!!!!

v

...an error was made in 2008 ...the guy in this picture can say this, but not me, no sir'ee no racist title for me

Whoopi is a racist.  She

Whoopi is a racist.  She is defending an organization that is perfectly okay with exploiting underage "brown" people.  It's okay, it's just "mexicans."  Double standard. . .

 Minute Men are called racist for wanting to throw the illegals back.  ACORN has no problem with smuggling them in to be exploited for sex. 

ever heard of "freedom"?

Whoopi sez, "I am so sick and tired of people dismantling stuff and saying, 'Oh, we're for the people.'"

What, like you Liberal-Marxist sphincters do when you dismantle the infrastructure of FREEDOM in this country, while saying you're for the people?  Like when you dismantle both family and religion, so that you can make the State supreme in people's lives, while saying you're for the people? We should be protecting unborn and killing the squiggly light bulbs, and you've got it back-asswards.

Ah, Whoop-Whoop, I would tell you, "suck this"... but then I'd have to spend the next four hours disinfecting myself, and who has the time for that...

Give me freedom, or give me a bloody civil war.

 

PS

As a PS to you, dear Goopi Whoreberg -- you absolutely stink as an 'actor'.  And since you'll call my criticism racist, know that Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Samuel Jackson, and Sidney Poitier are among my favorites.

You're even more disgusting than a rancid bucket of congealed mucus.

Wooffy Goldbrick is getting

Wooffy Goldbrick is getting uglier with age. She should have kept her nose out of politics and gossip, but vocal lefties just can't help themselves, they have to open there mouths and prove they are fools.

Obamapress to the rescue of ACORN

Achived a quotation from the article on Obama News Network

The silver lining is that they are losing credibility for their biased coverage.The bad news is Cass Sunstein wants to control more than the public airwaves which are limited in capacity; but also the internet which does not have the limits to capacity ... 

Govenment was never designed

Govenment was never designed to be a charitable organization, and yet these liberals consider it the only legitimate source for charity. As usual they are 100% backwards in their thinking.  Government and charity is an oxymoron.  The return on government charity is only pennies on the dollar!  Private charities frequently return over 90 cents per dollar donated.  Government receives its money by force creating feelings of ill will.  Private charities receive money out of the goodness and love of neighbor by the donor.  Recipients of government charity form feelings of entitlement.  Recipients of private charity recognize the sacrifice of the giver and formulate deeper sentiments of respect for the giver and the gift.

So you see, government actually robs charity.

"I don't know."

BEHAR: "Well, a lot of it. It was voted in Congress to take it away. 87 to a few others. I don't know."

She doesn't know, but comments anyway.  Nice.  ABC, please remove this show.

Goldberg

So Goldberg condones child sex slaves.....whoa.......If she's worried about all the poor people she could give them all HER money.  You would think food stamps, housing, welfare and free medical care would be enough !!!!!

Seems I remember

Seems I remember Whoopie-do-dah was screaming awhile back about NOT wanting her taxes to raise...yet she supports the very groups and congress-critters that are going to do just that.

So smile Whoop...be happy!

'Go Green...Recycle Congress'

We were discussing all the

We were discussing all the good that could be done with the money of Michael Moore, Whoopie Goldberg, Barbara Streisand, etc.  Then they can keep their hands off of everyone else's money.

Wouldn't that be sweet?

Slavery for Whoopie is not good (as she told McCain on the View)

Slavery for young girls is o.k. as long as Acorn has helped set it up.

 

and we can't forget this awful line

"Do I have to worry about slavery again?"

You go, Whoopi.  You go.

Hey, cut Whoopicushion some

Hey, cut Whoopicushion some slack.  She co-hosted "Comic Relief" and played a poor girl in "The Color Purple"!  She's done her part for the poor. /sarc

She says her nickname came from her friends as a child, because of her astonishing flatulence.  I guess they didn't realize then that it was actually chronic brain farts.

"Beauty is only skin deep, but liberal's to the bone." - me

Whoopi should talk to Paul Rodriguez...

Chairman of the California Latino Water Coalition. Maybe he could give her an earful on what party is hurting the farmers in California.

Whoopi, aren't you glad?

Whoopi is so glad that the liberal massas on the plantation let her come up and be in the "house". So now her job is to exploit the rest of the people who aren't in the "house", rather than help them.  And how better to do that than defend the crimes of a group of exploiters, ACORN.

ACORN showed how corrupt they are in these new clips; if you watched the discussions with the leadership, you didn't even have to look to see the slime trails they were leaving.  The fact is that they are trying to subvert the laws of the country.  So Whoopi is a willing accomplice to their crimes is what it appears to me.   Enjoy the house, Whoopi.  I intend to help burn it down and liberate all of the people in the field.

Whoopi needs to read Star Parker's book and columns.
