lol. James O'Keefe arrested on charges of entering federal property on false pretenses while allegedly trying to bug a Louisiana senator's office.

In September, idol for aspiring conservative journalists. Held up as hero by Hannity, Rush, and co. Great judges of character, these conservative talking heads.

The New York DA found that O'Keefe and co. dishonestly edited the tape to make ACORN look like they were doing illegal things.

Honestly... Watch this and tell me how it is legal... Watch the video, the uncut segments and listen to what they are saying...

it's been edited, from what i understand. i haven't seen the unedited version, but it looks like it can easily be manipulated to show a "prostitution ring" when it could have been a paper-route or something legal.

i'll wait till the unedited version leaks to take a side.

Ha! So will I...

Did you watch ANY of this video... Just the segments that are continuous... Not where the video stops and then starts... Just the continuous video stream...

You can clearly trust everything on video. Especially videos trying to make a point. It's a good thing nobody's come up with software or something that you can edit a video with, without being easily noticed.

I think im going to wait tell they remove the clothing off of this supposed "puppy" before i am going to make any clear judgment on an actual claim that this in fact is a puppy.

Kind of looks like Mr. Winston Churchill to me.

[rwilleby]

Right... So do you contribute to ACORN on a regular basis or do you run a ***** house?

Are you really a fan of the things acorn does..or are you just a troll?

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is a collection of community-based organizations in the United States that advocate for low- and moderate-income families by working on neighborhood safety, voter registration, health care, affordable housing, and other social issues. ACORN has over 400,000 members and more than 1,200 neighborhood chapters in over 100 cities across the U.S., as well as in Argentina, Canada, Mexico, and Peru. ACORN was founded in 1970 by Wade Rathke and Gary Delgado. Maude Hurd has been National President since 1990; Bertha Lewis was appointed CEO in 2008.

ACORN's priorities have included: better housing and wages for the poor, more community development investment from banks and governments, better public schools, and other social justice issues. ACORN pursues these goals through demonstration, negotiation, lobbying for legislation, and voter participation. ACORN comprises a number of legally distinct non-profit entities including a nationwide umbrella organization established as a 501(c)(4) that performs lobbying; local chapters established as 501(c)(3) nonpartisan charities; and the ACORN Housing Corporation. These entities support labor-oriented causes.
How dare I support an organization trying to make a difference to low income families! They're poor because God doesn't like the color of their skin and people shouldn't help them cause they smell gross.

Do I think for even a second that Fox News' representation of ACORN comes anywhere close to reality? No. Do I think the individuals who actively supported voter fraud should be penalized? Yes. Do I think these individuals are representative of the organization as a whole? No.

An organization that is devoted to helping those who most need help is evil only in the eyes of an organization devoted to inspiring fear and supporting ignorance.

i'm a digital media major. i know how easy it would be to redubb a video and smooth out transitions. it's pretty choppy, which is why i'm not convinced.

they prolly tried to work the system with the 15 y/o south american's or whatever, but i won't believe the "prostitution scandal" till after i watch the unedited video.

They're corrupt because there is a lot of money in it. It is amazing how much Fox News you watch. Fair and Balanced!

is the sky blue in your world? You are exactly what the Obama's are looking for. These organizations start out with the highest intentions but soon become corrupt just like unions but you have all this actual life experience to draw on so maybe we should sit back and just soak up all your wisdom.....please junior, get out there and live some real world life and then come tell us all about it.

but everything in washington is corrupt, though. hell, everything pertaining to politics is corrupt. so why not just shut down all programs...and take it a step farther and shut down government?

if the 5 million is proven to have been embezzled from acorn back in 08 or whatever, then there's no reason to even mention the program again cuz it'll be dismantled in a second. but, as of right now, that smoking gun they had on them was a fake....so they get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to embezzling.

until then, you gotta hate obama for the other 999 reasons that have been stated here before.

I'm not a stranger to digital video editing, the process, equipment or techniques used... That's why I said to look at the continuous video streams... No editing in those, no transitions, nothing dubbed in on the sound track...

What systems do you work with?

I get it, Washington is corrupt so why does it make any difference.....right

I don't hate Obama but I do hate his politics....big difference


We see things different because our lives are different and that is just the way things are. Where I don't give any credence to feenix and his outrages, I do respect your views because you actually have to work hard to get where you want to go and earn your way. My problem is the ones who subvert the system to get on the government tit and take advantage of those of us who provide that money supply.

[mojotrain]

Talking of being arrested, it's hard to believe isn't it? A few weeks back I believe a Louis Beverly, a acitivist for the cess pool that was called acorn was arrested. I heard they have since renamed this progressive socialist intity. A cess pool by any other name is still a cess pool. One might think c Rangel might have wanted his name listed as a principal on the corner stone of the two holed structure that covers this pit. Of course discounting about 75 percent of his lordships staff, barney, dodd and peanut seem to be lapping up all the credit.

On the alcorn busters, I don't support the progressive way ;)these reporters or whatever they called themselves gleened the truth about acorn but at the worse, it still takes a crook to catch a crook. This crime is childs play compared to the acorns attempt to break America plan because my tax money was/is used to fund them.

the adobe suite. after effects and premiere pro.

nothing the acorn employee is saying is dubbed over, but there are a few spots where pimp's up ho's down could have killed the track and switched lines around.... if they were that sophisticated with it.

like i said, i have my doubts about both theories, so i'm gonna wait till the unedited goes public.

[BDB]

I get it, Washington is corrupt so why does it make any difference.....right
so.... you don't agree with me? atleast acorn is set up with the best of intentions...that's all you can really hope for with anything coming out of d.c, party regardless.

I don't hate Obama but I do hate his politics....big difference
i should have put "hate on". my mistake.

and i understand where you and other odb's are coming from, i just think that looking past the leeches and focus on members of society who have actually benefited from the programs is worth it.

so when is texas seceding again? maybe the libertarian party will actually have a voice...
