Glenn Beck: Media Silent on ACORN Corruption

Rick Santelli, Glenn Beck, Joe Wilson, the new founding fathers?

Beck about the media: "Driving your Mercedes…" That's about right.
The leftist media is covering for Obama and his ilk all the way to the bank. Only time will tell how long that will last, however, considering there really is no loyalty among thieves, communists, socialists, or Obots.

Call Pelosi and demand congress investigate ACORN

Where is the FOURTH ESTATE????????????????

While ACORN claims they fired the two women I would suggest that this is not the end of the story. The career paths of these two women needs to be followed to determined whether another of Radke's organizations has hired them.

ACORN also claims that they tried it at other locations. If they get off easy-and my easy I mean they still exist in 5 years-I will be outraged.

I teach at an inner-city high school and I can tell you that the ACORN attitude has spread rampant among the students. Today's youth is even more dangerous than the last. The entitlement mentality has alread infected them and I have no idea how to fix it.

Rick, focus primarily on your own kids, if you have any. I would even recommend homeschooling. I'm 22, was homeschooled from 4th-12th grades. I was not corrupted by the government's brainwashing through public schools…that's what it is after all. But, that's another debate.

I thank God for Glenn Beck. He seems to be the ONLY person on television who finds the TRUTH and informs us,The American people. Now it is up to us to carry the ball and throw these traitors in jail……..all of them!Call the White House, your representatives, do not relent and do not let up the pressure on these phonies who are the blood suckers of America. They only care about POWER!!!!

What does ACORN have to do with your students' insubordination?

The New York Times did do an article on it. I found it online this evening:

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/09/10/us/AP-...

Acorn and Acorn Housing get millions of dollars for so called "helping people". The reality is that the money only goes into the pockets of CEO's but not to the people. They claim to help people who fall behind on their mortgage but all they want is to meet their quota to bill for funds to Neighbor Works and HUD funding, I know this because I work there. When I started working there I really believed in the organization, now I'm there because I can't afford to leave.

My manager does this type of work daily!!!! She pre-qualifies people for loans on mortgages when they clearly cannot afford the home, but hey she met her quota!

WRONG!! Obama worked as an attorney for ACORN. God, the foolishness!! I mean really, don't you even Google it to see if you are correct before you post it Barb?

Obama Paid ACORN $800,000 Via Their “Front Group.” “For starters, Obama paid ACORN, which has endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report. (They were disguised in his FEC disclosure as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for “advance work.”)” (Editorial, “Is ACORN Stealing The Election?” Investor’s Business Daily, 10/8/08)

Obama Was ACORN’s Lawyer. “The next year, 1993, Obama joined the civil-rights law firm Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, where he sued the state of Illinois on behalf of ACORN to implement the federal “Motor Voter” law, which the GOP governor at the time refused to do. Then-Gov. Jim Edgar argued, presciently, that the Clinton law would invite voter fraud.” (Editorial, “Is ACORN Stealing The Election?” Investor’s Business Daily, 10/8/08)

Obama and ACORN, Fellow Travelers. “ACORN attracted Barack Obama in his youthful community organizing days. Madeline Talbott hired him to train her staff — the very people who would later descend on Chicago’s banks as CRA shakedown artists. The Democratic nominee later funneled money to the group through the Woods Fund, on whose board he sat, and through the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, ditto. Obama was not just sympathetic — he was an ACORN fellow traveler.” (Mona Charen, “ACORN, Obama, And The Mortgage Mess,” Real Clear Politics, 9/30/08)

Obama Trained ACORN Staff. “Several community organizers and Altgeld Gardens tenants confirmed Johnson was working on asbestos but said Obama organized residents to act. ‘He got people to vote with their feet’ on the issue, organizer Madeleine Talbot said. At the time, Talbot worked at the social action group ACORN and initially considered Obama a competitor. But she became so impressed with his work that she invited him to help train her staff.” (Letta Tayler and Keith Herbert, “Obama Forged Path As Chicago Community Organizer,” Los Angeles Times, 3/2/08)

ACORN’s Political Action Committee Endorsed Obama. “ACORN’s Political Action Committee, ACORN Votes, announced Feb. 21 that it had endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for President.” (ACORN, “ACORN’s Political Action Committee Endorses Obama,” Press Release, 2/21/08)

Obama Praised ACORN For Being A Good Ally. “When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education. Senator Obama said, ‘I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That’s what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That’s the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.” (Barack Obama 2008 Website, Accessed 10/8/08)

“Obama Worked As Executive Director Of ACORN’s Voter-Registration Arm, Project Vote.” “What’s more, Obama worked as executive director of ACORN’s voter-registration arm, Project Vote, in 1992. Joined by two other community organizers on Chicago’s South Side, Obama conducted the voter-registration drive that helped elect Carol Moseley-Braun to the Senate that year.” (Editorial, “Is ACORN Stealing The Election?” Investor’s Business Daily, 10/8/08)

Why aren't you free? And how getting 2 low level ACORN employees fired going to make you any freer?

These two should have been arrested, not just fired–or were they actually moved to another office to continue their "work". They clearly violated federal law!

Barbara, he was referring to the MSM (main stream media). You know CNN, ABC, CBS….

How much critical news are we not hearing? Thanks Glen Beck for keeping us informed!! I hate to see how many people will be in line at ACORN tomorrow for assistance!!! Maybe they could buy someone a meth lab.

They are heroes, and I fear for them. They are also now targets of the largest community organization in America.

Give’em hell Glenn Beck, and Breitbart with his most excellent new Blog.

Are you being serious? Your seriously blaming these journalists getting to the bottom of a serious crime? Do you have any idea how many times this "trick" hasn't been a trick and ACORN employees have "helped" these people commit criminal offenses? Your link is laughable.

This gets my blood boiling!!! ITS MY TAX MONEY and they are totally corrupt with their hands on it. BIllions are getting wasted on it. YIKES! Horrible. IT makes me angry and sad that this happens. And angrier that we seem so helpless to get rid of this kind of abuse. Power corrupts absolutely.

Glenn Beck should name names at CBS, NBC, ABC, NYT, WaPo, etc. Who are the editors and the producers who are spiking the stories about this? Call them out.

Barbara- maybe you don't understand that encouraging criminal behavior is against the law ! Freedom is the ability to live within a society that is subject to the laws of that society.

get out while you have your soul!

Barbara – Organizations with criminal intent don't care about being role models for children. Children who are exposed to this type behavior are not looking at the right or wrong, only the reward. Pavlogs dog comes to mind.

ps last night CBS edited the comments of republican response to obama's lies about health care. Glenn beck get someone who tivoed it, i know noboby watches that channel chanel but someone hass to have it and it'stime they investigate4 thanks

Barbara- YOU have got to stop drinking the jim jones grape juice. You want to excuse criminal behavior because mediamatters is unwilling to be truthful about anything. Barbara tell the truth are you a 9-11 "TRUTHER"?

i mean altered the voice and picture to be off it should be in sinc

YOU'RE AN IDIOT WITH THAT REMARK!

SO BARB, ARE YOU EMPLOYED BY ACORN? SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S WHERE YOUR PATRIOTISM LIES!

THE GOVERNMENT AND FREEDOM WE HOLD SO DEAR IS WHAT GAVE THESE VILLIANS IN WASHINGTON THE GOOD LIFE THEY HAVE LEAD AND STILL LEAD. IF THEY WERE SUPPRESSED THEY WOULDN'T BE WHERE THEY ARE TODAY, ENJOYING THAT GOOD LIFE! SO NOW THEY WANT TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM US? THE GOOD AMERICAN PEOPLE? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU, AND IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AND AMERICANS WILL FIGHT TO KEEP IT, MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THAT! WE WILL FIGHT BACK, IT'S OUR NATUARE. AND WE WON'T STOP UNTIL WE WIN. CHEERS FOR THE TEA PARTIES AND STANDING OVATION FOR MR. GLENN BECK, MY HERO. WE'VE DEFEATED NATIONS, WE'LL DEFEAT YOU! THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL IN THE END. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

GLEN BECK IS A TRUE AMERICAN AND PATRIOT. WITH OUR CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, BOTH PARTIES ARE INVOLVED IN THIS, GLEN NEEDS OUR BACKING, SUPPORT AND YES, PRAYS. I FAIL TO SEE GOD IN THIS CORRUPTION, ONLY HATE, POWER, MONEY AND ANGRY. DON'T BE MEEK!!!! SPEAK OUT AND BE HEARD!!!!
NO, NO VIOLENCE!!! WE WILL BEAT THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME LIKE "BIG GOVERNMENT.COM" DID. SUPER JOB!!! USE YOUR BRAINS AND IMAGINATION AND DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. MOST OF AMERICA IS ANGRY, SO NOW SPEAK OUT AND TALK TO ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU AND CALL YOUR CONGRESS,
AND WHITE HOUSE. 1-202-456-1111. GOD BLESS YOU ALL,

Mr. Beck, you are wrong. CBS new featured the ACORN story TODAY, when it has only been out there for less than a day. Of course, we all realize that you know ALL and NOBODY but you knows that the mainstream television news broadcasts won't say a word (add lots of sarcasm), but that is not true. The ACORN story is vile and disgusting, but, Glenn, you (a/k/a Almighty One) continue to act as though you are the only one who will report this story. Stop all of the sarcasm and finger pointing(and phony choking between phrases) and REPORT, just like the major television news studios have done. Tomorrow, I expect that you will apologize for your confrontational remarks — Nah, no, you never beck down from a good accusation, do ya?

Hey Maria, just want to let you know that you should register as an independent. The new Democrat party is now the new Socialist Communist party. The Republicans are just gutless cowards who are bench warming until the Democrats fumble the ball. These 2 parties no longer represents the saying "that government of the people, by the people, for the people"

you are all idiots for believing this garbage, Becks a white supremacist in disguise all who follow him

You call six sentences, one explaining the acronym ACORN, "coverage?"

PLEASE, try to document as much of this information as you can, and get it out to this site or others like it. If your manager is qualifying loans that she shouldn't be, that is part of the problem that caused the collapse of the economy, and will bring it even lower soon! Help us stop this!

The media controlled by members of The Bilderburg Group, Trilateral Commission, or Council on Foreign Relations will not be commenting on any of their plots that are uncovered. They do, however, have damage control trolls who surf sites such as this and post opposing viewpoints in very rude and demeaning ways, meant to shut up those who would dare to speak freely. FREEDOM OF SPEECH, use it or lose it!!! Note the Guest comment calling us idiots, subject matter garbage, and Glenn Beck a white supremacist in disguise. Isn't it nice that he has the same freedom as we do? At least we have discernment on our side.

Out looking to purchase their fifth estate…great housing market for buyers, dontcha know…

right on ,that why they try to shut Rick Santelli too.

It's the #1 story at CNN.com right now:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/10/acorn.pros...

Oh sure I wait every day to base my opinions on what media matters says.

Wrong, he is only a very small part of the media. Where's the rest of them? The media is suppose to be watching over the government. I live in Illinois, which is probably the most corrupt state in the Union. I nver hear local news going after these crooks. It's time people stand together, Democrat and Republican alike and fight the corruption. The corruption is destroyingthis country. Wake up people!!

Hold them accountable:

Obama is at least as in bed with ACORN as Bill Clinton is…well…[insert any obvious punch-line here].

The BigGovernment.com breaking of the ACORN story has been simply amazing in its power and encouraging in its revelation that the nearly lost art of American journalism still has a pulse after all. I have been particularly impressed in an up-close manner through the post "Advance the Cause of Child Prostitution? YES! WE! CAN!" at http://firebreathingchristian.wordpress.com/2009/... and am more grateful with each passing day that eyes do seem to be opened by work such as this.

I see great opportunity not only for BigGovernment.com, Glenn Beck and the conservative powerhouses, but also for each and every one of us to take our part, seize our opportunities and do some damage to the forces that have waged war on our once-great American culture. Keep fighting the good fight!

Wake up!!He's not part of the State Run Media,a-hole
