ACORN Corruption Caught on Tape
Posted by Editor on September 10, 2009 · 23 Comments
BECK: Don’t get bogged down in the nonsense; the day-to-day political garbage. It’s about more than just what’s on page 100 of the health care bill. It’s about an entire system of corruption.
Corruption consistently ranks No. 2 in polls as the biggest problem — it should be No. 1. Corruption affects everything and right now it seems to be everywhere.

Thank you so much both Glenn Beck and the people who filmed this.
Thanks also to Fox News because they show the truth.
I decided to boycott ABC, and everything Disney the parent company to ABC. By not reporting on the Acorn story is Disney condoning prostitution and human trafficking? I for one have called Disney to complain. Here is the person to call if interested in making these people and companies accountable!

can someone please tell me a link as to where Glen gets the figure 8.5 billion of stimulus money going to Acorn?
Amazing! I just saw on Fox’s home page the most recent Acorn tape has had another two workers fired. Unfortuntely Cogress will continue to feed this corrupt group just like they always have! The days ahead will reveal what this government is really made of regarding all the current events! I am amazed at the bravery of these two terrific young people. Unfortunately, Fox has revealed both their first and last names and I fear for their safety as Acorn is nothing but a bunch of thugs represented by the two “men” who started the group and are good friends with the “Prez.” Keep praying for these two very brave people and for Glenn as we know his safety is in danger but he has protection–the two filmmakers do not!
typical of what goes on with the dems. and liberals. they rant and rave when they find a republican that might have done something wrong….then hide or come up with all kinds of excuses for their own. keep up the good work glen
So I just went through all the “major” news sites and the usual people we can count on have this up and low and behold one of the MSM sites actually have it now. CNN!!!!!! Not sure when it was posted, though it would be easy to check, they say that all this is “alleged” and they quote that awesome guy Scott Levenson (spokesman who Glenn thrashed a few months ago) and basically spin the story for him. “Alleged”. So funny. And of course they point out how the video seemed to be “edited” and there were “black out points throughout”. They also give a nice 2-3 paragraph synopsis on how awesome ACORN is to close the story out. Pretty sad overall.
yeah. it was funny also how they pointed out that they were “conservative, activist, film makers”. Like that made some sort of difference.
What’s next! Drug dealers called pharmacists or gang bangers called gunsmiths!
This outfit should be banned and prosecuted and forced to give all taxpayer money back to the people. As a person who has lived in Illinois for years we aren’t surporised by this type of thing since it’s been going on in Chicago for years!
We need our country back and now!
I can’t believe the police are not looking in to this. Is this not a fed crime? But with that said I can’t help but feel for these people working for Acorn To hear the kids in the backround its very sad There just trying to make a buck”.What kind of Monsters Run this.” These people being set up to take the fall and I don’t think understand. It makes me sick!
This is beyond words. . . Anyone who knows me personally knows that I normally have no problem putting into words how I feel about an issue. . . I just sit here shaking my head AMAZED that there is NO OTHER COVERAGE of this in the media. . .
THANK YOU Glenn for being brave enough to say what needs to be said and having the courage to take on the powerful folks in this corrupt system. I may not have a voice that can be heard by as many as you, but believe me when I say, I’VE GOT YOUR BACK BROTHER!!! They can’t silence us all!!!
Glenn is 100 percent right. We need people in Washington who have values that are in line with ours. How can THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT give money to organizations like ACORN? We elect our leaders, they pass laws in our name, ACORN breaks the laws, and the government gives them money. Crazy . . .
But I guess it is only crazy if you actually believe the government is working for the people and not themselves. So I guess it’s not that crazy after all.
what is really sad and scarey is that Fox was the only one to cover this.sad thing is,even tho acorn issued a statement saying that the 2 women were fired,they probabally just moved them to another location in another state and let them keep on doing what they were doing.
I wont be able to make it to DC,however i will be glued to the tv watching the coverage!
This story that broke out over ACORN is outrageous!!! How dare Scott Levenson, spokesman, call this “Gotcha” Journalism! He needs to take a better look at the wonderful show “To Catch a Predator” on Dateline/MSNBC which is used to catch online predators and has helped to catch and, for some, prosecute these online predators. And then they fire the two employees of ACORN anyway!!! Hypocrites!!! ACORN owes these two journalists a HUGE apology!!!
When we are in the process of growing up towards our adulthood, we are influenced by stories and sayings read to, and taught to us by loving parents who want to bestow their experiences and teachings to their children in hope that it will only make them smarter, and a little more street wise. One of the sayings I remember the most is a quote made before my time by Mark Twain, “We have the best government that money can buy.” It still stands true today. It’s time for America to stand up and take the money away, and put our voices back in. It’s time for broken promises and pledges, to come to an end.
All politics are corrupt. If you think that 9/12 will make a difference think again. And I know the moderator will now shut me down. So much for free speech. A foretaste of what is to come under the corporate theocracy.
You’re wrong if you think it won’t make a difference. Maybe not in the political world. Maybe not with the “powers that be” in the government. But in the hearts and minds of the people, it does make a difference! Do you even realize how many people who have never been involved in politics, never even voted in elections in some cases, are now coming out and making a stand to make their voices heard? Do you comprehend the hunger for knowledge coming from people who in the past, never paid attention to the goings on in Washington, but are now avidly watching the news, reading books and online postings, and discussing political issues with their families and friends? There is an awakening in this country that is phenomenal to see. People of all ages, races, sexes, sexual orientations, political views and religions are talking, listening, learning, debating, and opening their eyes to the world around them. If the Tea Party movement, the 912 project, and the town halls accomplish nothing but this “awakening” of the American spirit, then I consider it a success.
Corruption is NOT OK — it brought us to where we are today. The 1st amendment also works both ways. The democrats were largely funded by the MSM. The MSM is owned by corporations. Now they are getting paid for services rendered. Their silence is deafening. Socialistic governments control the media so only their ‘news’ is told. The opposition view is silenced. Do some research, read some history. History can and does repeat itself. The 9/12 project is real. Read the Values and principles; do you live your life by any of them?
see you all on 9/12 in DC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pray for all !!
Ish I could go, sounds like it will be a huge turn out. God speed
Corruption is a three letter word that we each need to confess and return to God. Each of us needs a mea culpa moment and that might start with what GB proposes: prayer and fasting.
Then we need to look to God to beg him to change hearts vile to the truth.
Thank you Glen for being that voice in the wilderness. Know you are not alone for God is near.
Thank You Glen – for speaking the truth, arming us with the facts, exposing the corruption and bringing us together! Thanks to your family for their sacrifices and support. You are not alone – and now neither are we! God Bless
Glen, you are becoming the most feared man in America. Thanks for standing up for truth on our behalf. Finally, we have a voice. And when you smell a rat, you keep digging until you find the source. Kudos!
O’Keefe should see if he can now get an NEA grant! Whether or not this impacts politically, at least 2 sleazy child prostitution pushers are on the street where they belong.
