I really don't see how they have a case against FOX.

FOX didn't do anything but break the story. ACORN needs to have all federal funds stripped from them. Man what a screwed up world we live in.

I am going to start an organization called Pinecone.

It will be funded by Republicans and other conservative organizations.

We are going to give advice on child prostitution and how to commit tax fraud.

When MSNBC and CNN bump into each other to report the story first, I wonder how it will all go down?

Honestly, I think providing information on how to get away with tax fraud as it relates to child prostitution; that should trump recording people illegally by not first asking for their permission.

When a crime is committed to expose a bigger crime, the smaller crime should be thrown out.

ACORN is a government funded organization that has employees who gave advice on tax fraud as it relates to child prostitution. This should be a major, Major, MAJOR story.

When Food Lion was recorded rolling the expiration dates on their meat and pouring chemicals on it at one store, it almost bankrupted the company. They ended up shutting down about 50% of it's stores.

It's one thing to have a bad employee. But this kind of stuff is off the chart. Why is this organization still in business?

I will begin to pray that putting common sense back in our government will NOT require violence.

See my signature and avatar. Peace until War.

You bring up a good point, what are they doing for the poor? The minorities? It appears to me, at least, that they are causing more harm for those that actually need their services.

But when have they actually cared about those that actually need their services? It seems like this has been a quasi-political organization from the start.

Watching an interview on FOX and they (the fimmakers) stated that they had gone to 5 other places. (Other than the two on film)

Look forward to those as well.

Even if they didn't "help" the pimp and prostitute it means that right now 2/7 places will. That means 28% are going to help abet criminal activity.

What a wonderful record for a government-funded agency.

Community organizers should feel soooo proud.

This is bigger than many people think. From what I have heard, all calls to investigate at a congretional level against ACORN, has been stopped. I think that this is going to go blow up in a few peoples faces, and when the truth comes out it is going to cause embarassment for people that many either suspect or bring out suprises. Myself I have written to both of my Senators and demanded that they support a congretional investigation for such, and if need be, may have to get with others to picket and protest outside of ACORNS office, and see what comes out of that.

It explains why they're suing FOX - ACORN is above investigation, above accountability, above questioning, and FOX did the unthinkable.

They reported their misdeeds and criminal acts, which in this day and age, if your criminal acts are protected by criminals in office, you can get away with anything. ACORN is above the law.

Further, why am I not surprised that the government protects an organization that promotes child prosititution? Gee-wiz George, I'd put those people in jail fast enough to cause a sonic boom, same as those in power would IF they weren't interested in such a thing.

That pretty much reaffirms what I've thought for years.

anyone wonder why if obama is so worried about preventive health care to "save taxpayer money"why no one has mentioned the tobacco industry?

They do not have a case.
This is an air ball.
Those tapes are indefensible.
I hope we see another one soon.

If ACORN was a right wing group they would have been raided and every branch shut down by the FBI and it's senior staff all sent off to federal correctional facilities.

Obama has Holder drop the investigation into the Black Panther terrorist carrying out voter intimidation with a billy club and now he wont let an investigation into ACORN? This trail of corruption goes all the way to the Oval Office folks. Obama has got to go.
