ACORN Scandal, Part 2: The Evidentiary Phase
by Andrew BreitbartThe last two months of the growing ACORN scandal have focused on the damning videos shot by James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles.
In seven out of eight offices, ACORN employees attempted to aid and abet O’Keefe and Giles’ illicit “scheme” to establish a brothel for underage illegal-immigrant prostitutes from Central America. .
That phase has been tabled for a future date, as I forthrightly stated last Thursday evening to Attorney General Eric Holder on FOX NEWS’ Hannity show.
The next phase will be the evidentiary phase. Starting with, but not limited to an extraordinary document dump at the San Diego office that was one of the offices O’Keefe and Giles exposed, causing the firing of a single employee.
On October 1, California Attorney General Jerry Brown, who once again aspires to be the state’s governor, announced that he was investigating not just ACORN in California, but also the truth tellers who exposed the alleged corruption and illegality.
Last night, I hosted a three-hour show on KFI 640 AM, the largest radio station in the country, and use the opportunity to announce the existence of 20,000 deeply sensitive and highly political documents discovered in the dumpster behind ACORN in San Diego on October 9, nine days after ACORN was announced to be under state investigation.
Some might call that “obstruction of justice.”
Listen to the entire interview with the private investigator who filled his Suburban with the documents in the following audio. It is explosive radio that hopefully shows the proper authorities that ACORN is making a mockery of this country’s laws and judicial process.

We are a nation of laws. The Attorney General of California and the attorney general of the United States have made a solemn oath to uphold these laws. Attorney General Holder and Attorney General Brown are arguably the two most powerful law enforcement officers in the country.
We are willing to facilitate copies being sent of all the documents recovered from the public dumpster outside the ACORN office and forward these to Attorneys General Brown and Holder. There are reasons ACORN dumped these documents before the scheduled visit by Brown’s office. The question millions want to know, now that ACORN has again brazenly mocked our nation’s laws: Will Holder and Brown do their jobs?

I'll put a ten spot on them not doing anything.
Any takers?
I don't see how they cannot do their jobs. america is watching you holder and brown.

They will do the jobs they were hired to do: promote the leftist agenda of the Obama administration by any means. I'd like to imagine they were hired to enforce the law, but I'm not that naive any more.
It would have been cool if they had hired PI's for each of the sites they visited to watch for this kind of activity when the videos were released……Or maybe they did? This is getting good!
They will get right on that. They will first handle the Black Panthers in Philly.
Though it is well known that I detest all things lawyerly, I must admit to giggling like a little girl at the prospect of ACORN being hammered into nothingness on the anvil of the law. If any organization deserves it, ACORN does.
ACORN: Too incompetent to even use a shredder.
They will get right on it as soon as they finish their investigation of James and Hannah!
If the Government wont do anything, it is high time the people took back the country and bring justice to the people.
Let the VIGALANTIES RIDE and correct the injustices brought about by those that hold greed and political agenda over the constitution.
And the Vegas odds are?
I would like to agree with you. However, it is simply amazing how my very smart and educated friends can simply brush aside the ACORN scandle, as they do with other irregularities of the current adminstration and Congress. It seems that many prefer to be numb, rather than have to deal witht the serious problems and corruption we have allowed to fester in our current government.
Thank you Andrew – brilliant!
Thank you for continuing to pound Acorn and their cronies! We are clearly witnessing a history-altering development for the country and for politics. May the utter weight of criminal activity and political deal-making bring Acorn and the DNC powerbrokers to their knees! Then…. Ninja star… swoosh!
Give’em Hell Andrew, this is great fun.
And the plot thickens… DUN DUN DUN??
I agree. They won't do anything. Obstruct, obfuscate, obscure.
Andrew, you are so gonna have that helicopter to jump from skyscraper to skyscraper in Manhattan…you capitalistic pig you! I thank God you are on this and others are starting to follow suit. I am encouraged more than I would have believed five months ago. Thank you! I knew when Hannah and James broke their story, with you giving them a platform, that there would be more to come. It is the nature of the beast. I cannot wait to hear what all of this entails!
Good job, Andrew. Once again you shine a bright light into roach infested ACORN.

DUNN DUNN DUNN
There is a whole rogue's gallery of politicians running for re-election and election that are ACORN defenders like Jerry Brown. And, of course they split right down party lines. Nothing sums up the corrupt state of the Democrat party than its defense of the indefensible.
ACORN is now synonymous with election fraud and gross corruption and the public fully understands that. The Democrats are idiots to think that they can escape being painted by that brush. They either denounce ACORN or pay for their hubris and lack of ethics at the polls.
Brown has made a very bad choice.
What does this have to do with the ACORN story? Go post this on another website.
Any BM's (Biased Media) out there calling to pick up more information on this story? No, I guess not. The BM's are busy trying to write what Palin's doing wrong ( and she's not holding any public office), or trying to dig up something on Andrew, and just about anything else but report about ACORN corruption.
Hey we know what BM's are don't we.
The BM's are just full of leftist crap and to them ACORN is just great. They need to be sent some laxatives to move all that leftist crap out of their system. Then maybe they could
"The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy"……..Woodrow Wilson
I hope those documents are safe and that copies exist already. Here is what will happen next: A suponea and search warrant will be issued to confiscate the documents which will then be "reviewed" by the states attorney. Nothing or at the best, something minor will be found inappropriate in them.
In the mean time, Big Government and A Breitbart will be found guilty of obstructing justice and possible extortion. Those charges will then lead to Liable and Slander by Acorn directly AFTER they claim you stole the documents.
watch your 6 guys! do not put anything past them as you have made them desperate and they are fighting for their lives and have powerful friends.
Then adapt, improvise and overcome. Si se puede.
this is getting good, how many more shoes can drop before those dolts ever do their jobs, and investigate this criminal organization? out of little acorn grow giant tree of crime
ACORN: too impudent to shred documents. The fix has been in for decades, we just had no idea.
Posted on comments to an earlier-today article by Derrick Roach on this same topic. I was so impressed with last night's roll-out on 640am that I wanted to make sure Andrew B read this comment about using a radio talk show venue for discovery roll-out. . . And thanks again Mr Breitbart, Hannah, James, and Derrick.
———————————
This (document dump discovery) is a potentially devastating shot fired across the bow of yet another Ship of Corruptocrats, The SS-Acorn.
Last night's radio show broadcast (Andrew on am 640 Los Angeles) was a highly effective venue of introducing the newest, explosive information dump discovery. Why?. . .time to rollout all the points and discuss events, discoveries, and what next — more time to inform vs a quick tv news show segment.
Why not blitz the radio markets to get the buzz out on this latest evidence discovery and gain the ear of those who prefer their information from radio news shows? Maybe enough disgruntled Americans left to start directly requesting answers from Holder, Brown, and the rest of the "See, Hear, Speak – No Evil" crowd.
Additionally, many of the radio shows reach the folks who might not have as much time to spare to watch tv or view internet.
Thanks Again — Andrew, James, Hannah, Derrick!
Great show last night Andrew. You have many talents and Radio talk show host is another one you can add to your resume. Nice touch with DEVO I liked that.
I've noticed that too – like they almost WANT to be willingly ignorant and blind to what's going on.
You talk about it – they cover their ear and yell loudly "La, La, La…"
You put it in print in front of them – they cover their eyes and talk about Who's Dancing with Washed-Up Stars Survivor.
You ask them a question – they change the subject.
Most of them, I really think, are doing it because they don't want to admit they made a mistake in supporting and voting for this corrupt bunch.

I but if you rad all the documents you will find Jerry Brown's name.
aaaaaaaahhhh
"Self Inflicted Ignorance" should be a definition in some psychlogical diganostic manual.
Progressives excell at lying to others, but also lying to themselves, they have raised it to a high art form.
thank you all for what you are doing and I tell the people we have to help get your cameras keep your eyes open get your recorders and lets help them . It is time for all good citizens take our country back from all this corruption and then from the union bosses and any big business that is corrupt. By the time this falls then the corrupt politicians will fall,then we the people will have our voice united as one then they will listen the first time we say no.
BBI (Breitbart Bureau of Investigation) the new FBI?
Since our own government is complicit in this it only makes sense that an outside loosely formed organization of self appointed investigators would have to uncover it.
This is being run extremely well, makes me wonder if this isn't a op that is being assisted by former's, if not BB missed his calling, LMAO
The next phase after this one may actually be the most dangerous, for everyone, not just the operators, God's speed BB!
Nah, Brown won't have any repercussions. After all, he's a CALIFORNIA Democrat (is that redundant?) These people are NUTS!!! They made him Governor at one time. And the kind of people who vote for Gov. Moonbeam Brown are the same ones who probably think that ACORN is doing God's work and that they are getting a raw deal from us damn Republicans. Of course, they also think the MSM isn't biased – only FOX News is.
ACORN just submitted a requisition for 10,000 crosscutting shredders from office depot today. All paid for by the taxpayers (teehee)
"Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world."
Daniel Webster
BBI (Breitbart Bureau of Investigation) the new FBI or the first viral intelligence agency?
Oh I think we are going to find out that there is a lot more than just a few PI's doing pro bono work at ACORN dumpsters, yes I do.
Since our own government is complicit in this it only makes sense that an outside loosely formed organization of investigators some cooperating, others working on their own, would be the only ones to uncover it since no one else can be trusted or for that matter is interested.
Obama wants' his minions to report on us, but guess what, we can watch and report on you as well you bunch of fascists!
Nice work Mr. B, the dominoes' are starting to tip!

There is nobody in this world that the Obama administration wants more dead.

bbi i like that our fbi is controlled by holder so their useless right now

prob is the people in cali wil vote for him look how many times polousy been re elected boxer ect ect maybe its the sir from al the fires and cars or earthquakes that rattles their brains and make them useless
It's racism…
A thought
The employee's of ACORN seem to be well versed in criminal culture, wouldn't that be an interesting story if ACORN was stealing CC numbers from the poor and using them for, oh I don't know, giving donations to Democrat candidates, like Obama?
Remember that, Obama had tons donations that could not be explained via CC, now that would take an organized effort, and organization that had access to certain information and was well versed in fraud techniques.
It might be interesting to correlate cases of identity fraud with names on those documents, especially the Obama angle, it would not surprise me at all if ACORN would take information, you know to help the poor, and then turn around and sell it or use it, for the greater good I mean (LMAO)

Andrew,
Thank you!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!
I can't say enough how fortunate this country and it's people are to have you, James & Hannah stepping up and showing the politicians first hand the will of the people! They opened Pandora's box and they will be damned trying to shut it again!
My, My, My!! What a tangled web ACORN weaves!!
and the MSM won't do jack, either.
Don't count on Brown and Holder doing their jobs. They think they are above having to enforce the law on their friends. They are both bought and paid for by this criminal enterprise and both need to hand off the investigation to say a military investgator to avoid the corruption that is so rampant in their offices. Both of these guys are probably going to be found to be part of the criminal conspiracy so they won't do a damn thing other pay lip service. If theyw ere to open the investigation for real they would be going to jail as well. Wake Up America!
like most of the politcal hacks inthis country they are the problem and expecting them to police their friends who supply them with campaign bribes is foolish beyond belief! Wake Up america! Thanks for your hard work Mr. Brietbart it is people like you who will help save this country from these thieves, but its we the people that have to investigate and hold them accountable. don't count on them to do the job they were hired for or elected for. they are in it for themselves alone. Wake Up america! Soon we will have to decide if we will allow this to go on or if we will take back our country even if it means we have to do by force! wake Up America! Brown tipped his hand to Acorn so they could dump the docs and he's sweating bullets hoping that none clearly implicate him for what he is.
they're like children who find out one of their parents is cheating on the other. they just DO NOT WANT TO KNOW.
acorn cant even do crimes good, they should have torched the dumpster, what a bunch of dummies
Mr. Breitbart you are to be commended.
Listen citizens, ACORN is not just mocking our laws, they are stealing your liberty, your fredom and property. And they are stealing your childrens futures. We must demand satisfaction from our representatives. Call your representatives and your senators. Call your local newspapers, call your friends. SPEAK UP! This is your country!
they will do nothing it will be up to the voters in california to remove another corrupt AG running for governor, but I suspect the left will reward the corruption and push to vote the Cali AG as Gov. As for Holder we already know he is bias and corrupt.
I'd like to mail some news big wigs some laxatives and tell em to "get the leftist crap out of their system." Just for laughs. And really I might! Great idea. Course it's a problem of matching input and output.. They are surrounded by leftists, inundated by their own side's flawed thinking.. For them it's leftist garbage in and it's leftist garbage out.. No, it seems we are going to have to overwhelm them and put them out of business. Just like Eric Holder will not investigate Acorn — seriously — that is never going to happen. The very thought of it makes me laugh. This would be like one of Stalin's chief legal advisers suing Stalin's mom. Acorn is Obama's mom. LOL!! It sure is nice to pretend though.
I'm pretty sure this violates ACORN's civil liberties. Leftists have a perfect right to destroy evidence when being annoyed by knuckle-dragging conservatives who don't have Good Intentions (i.e., killing babies and disarming the public and generally making the world safe for orgies and Marxist dictators). In fact, I think we will probably live to see BABAC (Being Annoyed by a Conservative) made a felony hate crime.
All America ISN'T watching. I mentioned ACORN to a lib and she didn't even know what it was. There are ways to handle this.
Did they vote for Obama?
Do they still suffer from BDS ( BUSH DERANGEMENT SYNDROME ) ?
If the answer to one or both of those questions iks "yes", then they are NOT "smart" at all. And since they refuse to listen to you, apparently enjoy being willfully ignorant, then they aren't "educated" either.
It could have just been panic, dump everything, but maybe the food stamps applications were part of welfare fraud?
Would be interesting to x-reference the informaiton against the supposed real individuals status and location, maybe the people didnt even know they were being signed up?
Maybe they were just creating people out of thin air for welfare, voter, and credit fraud?
So many questions, even though this is a state organization seems like it's a federal issue considering all the possibles…
Oh sorry Eric "Bagman" Holder is charge, my bad, can't have the criminals investigating themselves, that would be a waste of money.
RedDirtReport.com and Oklahoma.watchdog.org have access to thousands of documents left by ACORN in an Oklahoma City office in the summer of 2008. These documents are chock full of damning evidence, at least 2 OK Reps. know about it and to my knowledge there are still no indictments. Rep. Mike Reynolds is still "carefully contemplating" his next step.
I wish he would come out swinging and save the contemplating for while the dust settles.
Much thanks.
Call me cynical, but at this point, expecting Brown or Holder to put the smack down on ACORN is about like expecting Goebbels and Goering to reign in Eric Roehm and his buddies.
Yeah, I know – a Godwin violation. Screw it.
Picture this: It's 9/12 in DC, I'm walking from the WWII Memorial with my 13 year old son.He wanted to March on Washington so we did. He wanted to see the Memorial, so we did. While there , we see Marine I come in, land and leave with POTUS running away. We are headi towards the Capitol diagonally, toward Pennsylvania Ave, and I said go this way… come to discover it's a no traffic street, running between the Mall and Pennsylvania Ave. A plaza between DoJ and FBI , One Block long. We can see people at the end, marching. Lots of them.__Lovely plaza, absolutely empty, no even a pigeon. All gates locked, not a sound. I stop and say to my son, look closely, this is where the Atty Gen who wants to investigate the CIA works. I said "Read the incription on the wall there about Justice. Mr. Holder should come out and write that down a thousand times until he gets it."__My son said, "well he should have to write it, but he'll never get it." 10 wks later, I wonder, does he get it yet?__Andrew, you're my hero, and I also believe the administration wants you dead. After all Justice is….
Go get 'em Andrew !
I'll take that bet. If these documents were anything worth a crap, they wouldn't be ranting about them, they'd be posting them. It's desperation.
Wish I'd known you were going to be on KFI, Andrew. If it was mentioned here at all, I missed it. I can't get them on air out here in the boonies, but I listen to them nearly every day streaming on the internet. I'd have caught your show, for certain. Let us know next time you'll be doing that, will ya? I'll bet their online numbers would skyrocket!
I think you (and lots of other patriots) are changing history, here.
Better get your money ready then. You have NO idea what's coming. Although you'll deny it when it does come to try and save face.
…….just as soon as they close Gitmo.
Wow – look who is in Memphis tonight !!!!

ACORN Founder Wade Rathke Will Speak at the U of M Nov. 23
yes they will do their jobs and find nothing wrong.
Mr Breitbart:
Americans of all stripes (though they all may not want to admit it) and Lady Liberty herself owe you and your compatriots an incalculable debt of gratitude.
In these truly dark and dangerous times, it is not just refreshing but downright awe inspiring to see you, James and Hannah stand in defiance of the Goliath-like ACORN, the Democrat leviathan of corruption. Your selfless acts of courage will no doubt inspire other freedom loving Davids to work harder to defeat the scourge of liberalism….. before it is too late.
Thank you!!
NO idea what's coming? Why weren't you saying a short few weeks ago that ACORN was finished with the Giles and O'Keefe tapes? They were done! Finished! Out of business! Bankrupt! Prosecuted and convicted! So where are we today? Smoke has cleared, dust has settled and oh look…ACORN still stands! lol
I have a very good idea of whats coming. More of the same of what we've had…a handful of people suffering from severe ACORN Derangement Syndrome pissed off because the rest of the country could care less. Sounds about right!
Acorn Derangement Syndrome? That's what you'd like to pretend it is. Defend these criminals all you want you fool. Meanwhile we will NEVER let the story die until justice is done. Never. Deal with it.
Or even a dumpster that wasn't behind their own building.
There's a story?
We must keep voting Democrat so they never investigate. Otherwise…look at the huge expense to build more prisons to hold all of these crooks!
That we continue to witness a failure of justice to act is astonishing, but not surprising; this is one of America's darkest hours thus far in the 21st century. How much more can we tolerate, before it all explodes? Thanks Andrew, and the team for your perseverance.
Yes! You being a moron!!
We are at ATTENTION, Sir. Awaiting your orders ! (dumpster scoopers and bags in hand)
They probably don't know how to use a shredder, or else they didn't want to take the time. And a bon fire would have
Talk about a stand up kinda guy…….. You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize!!… oh forget it, you do not have to do anything for that award… Thanks!!!
Throwing away fresh applications for food stamps? SS Numbers, credit card numbers, etc. Payments to political orgs and it just goes on and on. I think Breitbart's going to get somewhere with all of this. I think it's going to happen.
Oh Syntax_game– Now that you explain things so eloquently I can see that ACORN is actually wonderful. If they didn't cheat, then people with Good Intentions (i.e., killing babies, disarming citizens, making the world safe for orgies and Marxist dictators) could never be elected. OF COURSE the rest of the country could care less it. They don't KNOW about it because the media is in on the fix.
So Syntax_game, all minorities think exactly alike?
Spoliating evidence by destroying financial documents? Could it be someone's trying to cover up financial crimes like embezzlement?
That's just a wild guess; but why would any business owner be getting rid of stuff like this unless they wanted to obliterate a paper trail.
Well, aren't we lucky? Corrupt attorney general in Calif. Corrupt attorney general in the White House, Are there any honest people left in our government? Thanks to the clever PI who went to the trouble to nab these documents. And big thanks to Andrew! America thanks you!!!
I see OFA has sent a new troll in our direction. I guess Scott_z and JPA have had enough!
Watching? Are you sure?
Watching American Idol maybe, but watching the corruption in action? Not a chance, sadly.
the answer is NO…Holder and Brown will not pursue or investigate this, not now, not ever. Did you expect anything else? Comon, get real!
shhhhhh, don't encourage them.
I don't know, Syntax – maybe they want to destroy the Democrats for the corrupt, lying ass scumbags that they are? And the best way to do this is to first push for JUSTICE and if not – well, elections are coming up, jackasses.
[...] ACORN SCANDAL PART TWO: The Evidentiary Phase. [...]
Great job, Andrew. Thank you for all you are doing to help deliver our country from the corruption that is permeating our government and the agencies our taxes are funding. Thank God that reporters who want to bring this story forward have you as an advocate with a forum to bring out the truth. KC.
Maybe an insider whistleblower… Too little time to shred inhouse, if Jerry Brown's boys got them they would have shredded them at state offices. Maybe somebody called Roach so he could get them intact. I know, lots of if's and maybe's.
Mr. Roach and Mr. Breitbart are patriots. You should both be very proud!!

Alinskyite lawfare until the end of time. Smash the Left.
Thank you Andrew, James and Hannah! You are true patriots.
Could one be charged for 'stealing' documents ffom a dumpster?
Criminal? Scam? I see this getting tossed around…but I note that there is another side to this story. Just for the sake of playing Devil's advocate here, what about this handy little ditty:
Actually FOX's coverage of ACORN is quintessential demonstration of its bias:
Fox presents claims of "Voter Fraud By Acorn" as factual.
YET, in its coverage it FAILS to report the fact that ACORN was acutally FOLLOWING ELECTION LAW EXACTLY – namely that organizations that collect voter registration cards are FORBIDDEN from evaluating their content
Fox then presents the illegally obtained video from Okeefe and Giles as 'factual'.
And FAILS to point out that TAX ADVISORS ARE Legally obligated to protect the fiduciary privacy interests of those they are advising
Tax advisors Are doing their job the way THE IRS REQUIRES when they help taxpayers fill out the forms
Okeefe and Giles BROKE THE LAW in filming those videos without permission
Okeefe and Giles are so incredibly over the top (Okeefe's idea of a pimp is Huggy Bear) that the simply aren't believable
So Breitbart's questionable actions/claims, and the others?
FOX actually FAILS to report the FACTS in the ACORN case, instead reporting innuendo as fact.
HMMMM?
AS to the LEGALITY of these tapings?
Goodness gracious. Should've known better, gang….
IE–Can someone here at LONG LONG LONG LONG last, report to me just what laws were broken by ACORN–much as we might not like them for their help with the poor?
ACORN's illegalities, that is.
Not Giles and the others being sued for illegal tapings and false persona and PUNKY stuff that only can be used with warrants from courts if you're doing a REAL investigation under the penumbra of true law enforcement.
DIG????
Mr. Bretbart,
Are there documents from the dumpster whose existence provides evidence of malfeasance? Or is your "scandal" claim merely that it was a scandal that Acorn threw out private documents without shredding them first? I ask because if it's just the latter — as one might infer from the lack of specificity in the text here about any other kind of malfeasance — that's not a very exciting scandal. Plenty of businesses have thrown out such information without shredding; it may be a sign of incompetence, but not one of corruption. (Not that I doubt Acorn's corruption has been shown by other evidence, such as the pimp and ho videos.) Or maybe you don't know yet? (We are talking 20,000 documents.)
Also, were there a lot of printed brochures, etc., as Acorn claims? Or were they unique documents? Most important, were any of these documents things Acorn would have wanted to keep hidden from the AG?
Thank you, Mr. Breitbart, for removing the link to Littlegreenfootballs website.
Beer for my horses!
Breitbart…you do journalism the way it should be done… God Bless you.
Guilty until proven innocent
You are an idiot.
Syntax_game,
Pivacy Act violations alone can land them in hot water. EACH SSN, and other document covered under privacy act is an additional charge. Add to that the legal landscape of California, and each person who had their identity infromation comprimised can file lawsuits.
This speaks nothing of conspiracy, fraud etc.
SYNTAX GAME is a troll for the looney left-how much do they pay you idiot? Don’t argue with the troll-because the troll wants your attention. Ignore the troll-maybe “it” will go away! By the way troll-none of us are scared! I tell more and more people everyday about this website! Most are thankful! Go report to your fascist friends-look’s like 2010 your buddies will be one of the 10.2% unemployed.
Nah, instead you'll make it super easy for anyone to steal their identities!!!!!!!!!
Good stuff. You should consider doing the investigation.
Andrew. I pray for the safety of you, Hannah and James. Please be careful.
You work for ACORN and are scared shit.
If Holder and Brown don't do a complete investigation and bring them to justice, then Holder and Brown should be fired immediately. What a bunch of corrupt clowns in the Obama and Brown camps.
And the inept (corrupt?) Brown wants to run for Governor?
I'd like to comment on this, if y'all don't mind………….UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this a fantasy land, if not, what is it??????? Are the revelations really this irrelevant? GO TEAM GO!!!! Hope you don't mind if I cheer for the "Underdog"…………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a question….why are so-called "Law enforcers" waiting for so-called "Journalists" to pick up on this story???…………HMMMMmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it possible, that crimes may have been committed, oh, excuse me these aren't common folk, these people are governed by different laws!!! SORRY!!!!!!!!
This is almost like watching the unraveling of the Soviet Union in slow motion. Acorn has been exposed and eventually it's going to have to be investigated, probably by a state AG. Holder's not going to touch it. The global warming fraud is coming apart at the seams. Even the likes of SNL and Chris Matthews are calling Obama out. With any luck maybe someone like Breitbart or Limbaugh buys out the NY Times. Wouldn't that be sweet. Can you imagine the lefty meltdown!

Andrew Breitbart: ACORN Stalker
November 23, 2009 4:10 pm ET by Brian Frederick
Breitbart's tired ACORN smear campaign took an even lamer turn today with BigGovernment's attempt to manufacture a "San Diego ACORN Document Dump Scandal." "Licensed" investigator Derrick Roach dug through the garbage of the San Diego office and found some sensitive documents. To be clear, the documents he purportedly found – a few of which BigGovernment provides in the post – contained sensitive employee and donor information and should have been shredded rather than just dumped in the trash dumpster so that such information couldn't be used by anyone else (e.g. rabid right-wingers with an ACORN obsession).
That said, the information found in the documents BigGovernment provides in the post appears to be so inane that the only scandal promises to be if the conservative media actually continues to run with this tired charade. BigGovernment does promise that "[o]ver the weeks and months ahead, BigGovernment.com will continue to release information from this shocking document dump by ACORN, slowly revealing the ugly truth of ACORN: the fact that their stated mission of helping the poor and downtrodden is just a ruse and a cover for an organization that is highly partisan and highly political, and thus rotten to the core." But if there was really anything that damning in the documents, would BigGovernment really wait weeks and months to release it?
And if the information Breitbart and crew found did show hard and fast evidence of anything criminal, isn't Breitbart ethically – if not legally – obligated to turn over such information to the authorities?
But Breitbart's investigation takes a turn toward the bizarre and downright creepy with what Roach claims is a video shot from outside the San Diego ACORN office, showing several purported ACORN employees talking around someone's desk. Roach explains: "[T]he video clip, from the evening of the document dump, shows ACORN operatives clearly engaged in some kind of discussion – likely related to the activities of that evening." Activities of the evening? Like where to grab dinner and drinks? Or maybe they were discussing whether to see "Zombieland" or "Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself." Who knows? But we can be certain that they were discussing something.
Breitbart should do one of two things (or both) immediately: Release everything to the public – tapes, (redacted) documents, etc. – and/or hand everything over to the proper authorities. Unless, of course, it's all just smoke and mirrors…
Syntaxs Mom <—- that's kind of funny!
Good point! I give up! You're argument is overwhelming!
I'm not new. I've been here for quite a while.
Actually I think the more likely thing they would do is use their SSN's to place votes for their candidates whether the person knows or not. Using their credit card is trackable and the owners would know when they got their receipts. ACORN and Democrats are the new Mafia.
Because of the proximity of elections they will have to appear to do something, much like that token vote in Congress to defund ACORN……The corruption is at new level of pain and disgust. We cant go on like this and expect to keep a free nation.
If the voters dont throw out every running Democrat incumbent (and some traitor Republicans) in 2010, then America is getting what it deserves
The Privacy Act of 1974 applies to Federal and/or government agencies. ACORN is a privately managed and maintained entity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_Act_of_1974
It is though true that every individual who has had their identity compromised by people trolling through dumpsters can file a lawsuit since in the end, ACORN is the responsible party for maintaining confidentiality of this personal information.
"This speaks nothing of conspiracy, fraud etc. " — Yeah, we've been hearing that tired old song for a couple of years now. Got any convictions yet? No? Then "This speaks nothing" is the more accurate statement. A couple of years of "speaking nothing".
I work for ACORN? Since when? Ahhhhhh….the accusations without any shred of proof! Who needs it when you have ACORN Derangement Syndrome.
Andrew it is comic to see you matched up against the left. Just so unfair…
Thanks for the entertainment and helping bring the country (hopefully) back from the brink.
This is great stuff.
Wonder what phone number Lewis called 5 minutes before the trash was dumped.
By the way, "Media Matters" is actually a code name for "Socialistic Psychopaths".
No but when an organization like ACORN registers 1.3 million low to mid income minorities, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who most of them are going to vote for. There's not a snowballs chance in hell that poor black folk are going to vote Republican. That's what this is all about. If ACORN registered 1.3 million upper income white people who mostly voted Republican, you think you would have ever seen these videos from Giles and O'Keefe? Hell, they'd probably be working for them.
Modern day McCarthyism wrapped in racism for the sole purpose of fascism! America ain't buying it and now these fascists are getting desperate with wimpy threats to the DoJ and trolling through dumpsters. Yesterday it was 10,000 documents. Today it's 20,000 documents. By the end of the week, it'll be 100,000 documents and by this time next week, it'll be a half a trillion documents. Sitting on these smoking gun documents for over a month and a half and what's the big smoking gun retrieved from them? A job app and a I-9. Wow! How freakin' desperate is that?
Brown better not make a bad choice! Prosecute or lose the base Mr. Brown! Make sure this McCarthyism and racism does not go unpunished. The hacks broke the law…prosecute them!
If the dumpster was on private property and these documents were stolen from this dumpster on private property than they stole the documents.
"watch your 6 guys" You too Iceman! Right with ya Goose! WTF?
If ACORN had any brains they would just roll over and shout "uncle"
Give it up fo'shizzle boys and girls – you are fighting way out of your weight division!
God Bless Justice Clarence Thomas:
http://www.webcommentary.com/php/ShowArticle.php?...
Don't forget that tape of the ACORN person saying that Brown wouldn't do anything to them, because he was a "political animal." Apparently Brown had already promised them that he wouldn't do anything. Brown should be prosecuted.
Remember who their #1 supported was in Chitown…in the 90's, the one who had no idea his pastor was an hateful piece of trash, launched his career from a known terrorist home… and they will say, he didn't know anything about ACORN… and you know that….. about sums up what he is.. an idiot, a loser……..Like the skit on SNL…the other night…he really is stupid…I am dumber that dumb….I hope the two AG's have the _((__ to do something.. but I doubt it.. You see they are only interested in protecting Black P's and there terrorist friends. What about his good buddy the mayor of Sacto, CA.. more charges of under age girls..Ummm…Pray we get thought these next 3 year 2 mos..w/o all the possible damage he can possible doo…and get him them and his wonderful wife..out…You know her…the one who is so proud of American for the 1st time.. I wonder if any other 1st lady..ever felt that way,, Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm NOT… they hate America, the troops and any and all freedoms… buy loves there Acorns…..and SEIU's…scum sucking types…
Andrew, I cannot thank you, James, Hannah, the private investigator, et. al. for what you have done for our country–I thank the living God for you all. As I put my children to bed at night, wondering what they will need to face as a result of the havoc these corrupt people have wreaked on our country, your unabashed willingness to expose the lies, fraud and shine the light of truth on this issue gives me hope for our future.
more likely too friggin lazy
Isn't Holder guilty of malfeasance in office? If he's not doing his job, then he should lose it. The proof is there. All he has to do is shut his mouth, open his eyes and DO HIS JOB! Now he's gonna get hit from two sides, the Manhattan trial and now this acorn thingy. Tough noogies.
Let's not hold our breaths. Holder and Brown support Acorn. They accept orders from "higher ups" in direct violation of the oaths that they took. They are bought and paid for.
[...] Ex-ACORN Official Gets Probation For Voter Registration Plan ACORN Scandal, Part 2: The Evidentiary Phase [...]
Of course there's not a snowhball's chance in hell these people are going to vote Republican with everybody telling them Republicans are snakes in the grass who will murder them in their sleep just because of their skin color. I do not for one moment believe that people think alike because of their skin color. I DO think they think alike if they are scared.
Think for a moment what would happen if ACORN was registering people to vote Republican: you would have the full force of the Democratic media and entertainment complex fall on it. You know, sort of like they have done with Sarah Palin. As it is, those of us without all the power have to rely on people like Giles and O'Keefe and Breitbard–thank God for them and their ability to finesse their findings with the power deck stacked against them.
The big lies are that conservatives are racists and that they have power.
it's easy, they won't do their jobs, the same way the legacy media refused to vet Barack Obama…
Breitbart/Beck 2012
That one shut me down too. How can you argue with that?
Amen Brother…..
[...] [...]
The sheer brilliance of it blows my mind. I'm speechless at the immense mental dexterity of it.
"Of course there's not a snowhball's chance in hell these people are going to vote Republican with everybody telling them Republicans are snakes in the grass who will murder them in their sleep just because of their skin color." — It's actually more of an economic thing and BS stunts like what you're seeing done to minority organizations like ACORN in a pathetic attempt to de-legitimatize their voting power.
"Think for a moment what would happen if ACORN was registering people to vote Republican:" — Giles and O'Keefe would have never made these videos and you people would be fighting tooth and nail to protect them and calling this McCarthyism "McCarthyism". Kind of like the same as what gets done with much more corrupt organizations that receive millions more money than ACORN such as Halliburton ($60 million fraud), KBR (negligent death of 15 soldiers), Dyncorp (16 contractors operated under age sex trafficking ring), Blackwater (wrongful deaths, corruption, bribery and extortion) and the list goes on and on. If ACORN registered Republicans, they would safely take their place amongst the giants of right-wing "can do no wrong" organizations AND would probably be receiving a hell of a lot more money than a lousy $3.5 million a year.
ACORNgate.
The truth will out…. with a little help from: Hannah, James and Andrew.
Thank you!
I almost forgot…"Think for a moment what would happen if ACORN was registering people to vote Republican" — They would be exactly like the Family Research council. A 501 (c) that only registers Republican voters, support Republican candidates and has annual straw polls that only has Republican winners. Most people here would consider that completely legal and Constitutionally protected (and they'd be right) and would attack the Left for Christian bashing and play victim over presumed innocence until proven guilty.
And crooks like this are being funded in part by our tax dollars!! Sickening. It doesn't stop at ACORN; just connect the dots. ACORN is connected to the SEIU bone, the SEIU bone is connected to the White House bone, the WH bone is connected to the GREEN bone, and on and on and on.
It runs sooo deep. I'd like one, just one of our insider politicians to get a backbone and tell us what he/she really knows so this house of crooks can start emploding. I'd even consider amnesty for him/her; just tell us what you know.
I've never felt like I had to sleep with one eye open until now.
So, since Jerry Brown and Eric Holder have both given a known criminal enterprise a pass on their illegal activities and are now protecting that criminal enterprise by going after those who exposed them, does that not make the Attorneys General of the US and California ACORN's consigliere?

People may not actually know if their card is being used illegally…take small amounts from many cards…chances are people will not even look at their bill…or could miss a small charge
What has everything in this administration done both in their campaign leading up to the election, and since being in the White House? Intimidate, threaten and try to silence all those who would try to oppose or even have any semblance or opposition to their agenda. Since you are an obvious threat, they have no choice but to come at you with whatever means at their disposal to try to make you look like the bad guys. Anything less than that would be to admit guilt by silence. At this point, your only recourse is to weather the storm and keep up the good work. This country owes you a tremendous debt we can only hope to repay some day.
Well when you put it that way. I am so humble in your presence. You are SO wise and informed oh mighty Syntax game. Please have mercy on us. Just because we think we are being disenfrancised by somebody systematically cheating during elections gives us no right to complain. Just because the story is being spiked by the media gives us no right to complain. Why should we have any rights? Why should any "journalist" take up our cause? They really should give Giles and O'Keefe the full Sarah Palin. Breitbart, too. How DARE they question your Good Intentions?
Breitbart and his crew are bringing down ACORN. Keep up the good work Andrew! This may reach all the way to the top.

These are the kind of reports we need out there. One who aren't controlled by the left.

It's David vs. Goliath…

And this week, we should count the Team of Professionals at Breitbart.com as one of America's blessings!
Everyone in the Houston area or all over the US. Locate your SEIU & ACORN offices near you, get with your GOP & plan a protest in front of their offices. I am setting up a rally here in Houston which will take a little time, but if everyone is on board we can take the fight to their doorstep Nationally. Reply to this message & let me know. We will talk offline so there they won't know when we will make our appearances. Peace through strength is President Reagan @ his finest. If we don't stand up now to these special interests, President Reagan's legacy will end up in a crumbled pile of paper next to the Constitution.
Isn't that the most frustrating thing? I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall. I've finally come to the conclusion, though I've suspected this for years, that "smart & educated" means nothing. A truly intelligent person is one who can listen to ideas that are in opposition to their own and even admit they may have no idea about something. "Educated" people today are like red-neck know-it-alls (and I was raised one so I "knows"). You can't teach them anything because they think they are above being taught.
Na, some of us need to get back to work and can't play in the comments all day so I did not have time to waste on you posting more than the facts, you are an inmature idiot.
Your ignorance is bliss.
I don't know why anyone is going to be surprised when nothing happens.
Black Panther voter intimidation VIDEOTAPED, nothing.
Voters against Earmarks, nothing.
Citizens against OBAMACARE, nothing.
ACORN Fraud, little so far.
The people in power just will not listen!
Vote in 2010
I tend to agree with your thinking! You might actually be onto something. Be careful or you might see the men in black suits knocking on your door!
I agree, tons of ways to commit fraud, point was are they? I don't know but I can think of about 100 ways they could be, and with their typical a-moral progressive compass the only question would be "Can we get away with it"
I would also point out that a lot of ACORN's business was done / is done with illegals, they are not going to typically go to the authorities even if they did suspect something.
Also I woudnt give ACORN too much credit in the brains department, so far they have proved to as inept as they are crooked, maybe arrogant would be a better term because they have been getting away with murder for so long.
I will point out someone was donating to Obama using others CC numbers, and nothing happened and it wasnt trackable (probably from a library computer or used an IP masker or lord knows online it's easy)
True as well, small charges are not that easily detected unless you are vigilant, most people are not.
I would also say that a lot of ACORN's business was done / is done with illegals, they are not going to typically go to the authorities even if they did suspect something, they are the perfect victims for identity fraud.
LMAO, Notice he didnt deny that he is a Troll and that OFA sent him, these Libertards are really something.
Oh and he is Scott_Z
Or a shredder service, but that costs money!
wouldn't it be scarey if this was the stuff they DIDN'T shred?
Nothing will be done by anyone in the Obama administration. Mr. Holder is in league with ACORN–if not directly, then certainly via philosophy and ingrained sympathies. Any flacid action will be allowed to drag out and action will never be taken in the end. That is how leftist work.
BTW, I have contacted all of ACORN to offer to sell them shredders from my product line–someone would have if it were not me. An “excellent investment!” stated one prospective buyer.
amen, peteee. No matter how high bird fly, man can still break glass with hammer!
Andrew: Great work! Keep it up and protect yourself and all those good folks involved in exposing the rotten apple that ACORN is.
My bet is that neither Holder or Brown will actually investigate ACORN and its complex set of affiliates. So, hopefully you will be able to full show the evidence your team has gathered. Lastly, while it would be fantastic if the MSM would actually join in exposing ACORN's corruption, that does seem very unlikely except for a few honest journalists.
I haven't read all the comments, so I apologize in advance if this has been mentioned. "We are a nation of laws.." comment by Andrew is true for those of us who abide by the law, love our country, etc., but these crooks don't believe in the country, let alone the rule of law. To them, the rule is…."Don't get caught." This is unfortunately true of the folks in Washington including our illustrious AG.
I am usually not into toilet humor, but that is funny….maybe its the wine I have consumed…
These guys have their own set of rules. Charactor? Never…They will never cross the corruption of their own.These guys are wimps with no backbones at all.Excuses,excuses,excuses.I predict they will do nothing, and the media will try to bury it.We can only hope that the pressure will be too much for the little wimps….AHHHH I feel better now…
Don't know how they can be accused of stealing the documents when many a cop/lawyer show has said that once you dispose of an item in a trash bin/can it becomes public property and anyone can remove it.
I thought the same thing! Why no shredder!
With the dumping of these documents….being an ex-lending officer, would I dare say many of these impoverished, underpriviledge, put upon people probably don't exist at all. Many of these scams were uncovered in Illinois. Gee isn't that where Obama is from?
This lack of interest by the lame street media and the Judicial System to investigate ACORN's corruption is beginning to smell just like the same lack of interest in forcing the "Usurper" to produce a long-form birth certificate to prove he is eligible to serve as POTUS…..hmmmmm!
These developments will be taken much more seriously when the US House of Representatives goes back to the Republicans Congressional investigations of ACORN will almost certainly lead back to the WH to one degree or another. I suspect the obstruction of justice has its roots in the office of the chief counsel to the President. I know that is pure speculation at this point, but it would explain much that cannot be explained right now.
I came across this blog – interesting read
did andrew provide the electronic gear for the landreiu phone fraud scheme?
In response to "another stupid redneck". Yes, that's exactly what you are. Get the hell off this web-page you Obama lover!
