Acorn’s Answer To Corruption – Blame The Racist Fox News
Acorn is at risk of losing its $8 Billion in funding (looting?) from the American stimulus.
Now that they have been caught on tape twice counseling clients to commit major crimes… their answer?
Fox is RACIST.
Statement from Margaret Williams, Board Member, Maryland ACORN September 10, 2009
Fox’s attempt to smear ACORN Thursday September 10, 2009 is despicable, part of a coordinated, long-term campaign by Fox to damage ACORN, the premiere community organization of low- and moderate-income people in the United States. Every day ACORN members are working for health care reform, living wage jobs, to end the foreclosure crisis, and to strengthen our public schools. For its part, Fox is running a campaign to demonize ACORN. They will get attention, but they will not succeed.
In July 2009, Fox agents attempted to enter ACORN offices in New York, in Philadelphia, in San Diego, in Los Angeles, and possibly other locales. In each case they were turned away, and in Philadelphia ACORN staff were concerned enough that a police report was filed. In Baltimore, the Fox squad deceived ACORN staff by consistently misrepresenting their intentions. No tax returns were filed and no assistance was provided. But the ACORN personnel in question have been terminated because their handling of the Fox agents provocateurs did not meet ACORN’s standards of professionalism.
The larger pattern of Fox’s irresponsible actions here is the real news. From Glenn Beck calling President Obama a racist, to Fox inciting racism and threats of violence with the Teaparties, to Fox unleashing a hit job on ACORN the day after an inspiring Presidential healthcare speech before Congress, Fox has long since abandoned any journalistic pretense. It is clear and not coincidence that FOX continues to attack and divide our nation along racial lines. We believe our country is beyond this type of attack and call on all Americans to demand that FOX stop its racist coverage.

It should be noted that Fox didn’t enter their offices – An independent filmaker did… and Acorn, instead of owning up to the corruption that has overtaken their organization, chooses to go after the messenger. With bold faced lies.
The obvious thing is that Acorn is acting in unison with the Obama administration game plan… which means that they are getting help from their fellow looters. (Has a President ever publicly blamed a specific news organization or talk radio for their problems the way the current little-boy president does now? It’s sad and un-presidential to say the least.)
It’s only a matter of time till they collapse. Here are 2 million reasons why. Now they’ve been fired from Obama’s questionable census.
And it’s nice to know that Glenn Beck’s rating continue to soar. (He now beats Bill O’Rielly)
Oh, and 2 million people turned out today for Glenn Beck’s Washington 9/12 event.
