Krissi commented on the article |First of all, Van Jones RESIGNED. He wasn't FIRED. He made racist remarks claiming that 'Whites sprayed minorities in the field with toxins'. I'm white, my people are white...that was a broad generalization. It's not about liberal or conservative. It's about justice for ALL. Racist views cannot be tolerated...not in this country. I don't want a man who is looking to 'green the ghetto' as priority and push his supremacist views (which he still to this day has not denied), appointing the big jobs. I seriously think the remarks of Van Jones were taken so lightly. If Cheney said something about African Americans...OMG. Now it seems to be an acception. Also, despite the racist remarks, the President can involve his friends and make them his 'cohorts' but, they must have a screening done. I don't think Van Jones was willing to do this considering. Pick your staff...but, if they aren't for the cause of justice for the people (all people), then you should resign. If not, who are you benefiting really? Not our country. To those who keep demeaning our president with childish name calling- STOP. Your lack of respect for a leader who was voted in by a DEMOCRACY, makes our country look pathetic. He is our President. You don't have to like him, his policies, or his views. Respect his position though. It's not easy. Argue against what he does not who he is. I'm not an Obama supporter but, it's childish to refer to our countries' highest office with terminology that lacks candor. Grow up. Be a voice but, don't be a child.

Krissi commented on the article |He said 'IF the gov't can offer a cheaper policy that gives the same benefits he sees it as a plus for folks.' The gov't can't compare though. That's why most people are not for it. It's not that we aren't for health care for all...it's that it is not financially possible without hiking private healthcare costs. Gov't provided care will be something like the Post Office or the Health Dept.

I agree. I just don't understand how as a country, we can give so much money without watching how it's spent. ALL non-profits are supposed to account for their spending. Anyone could have requested an expenditure account from ACORN to see where they were using this money. If someone investigated/audited them early on, maybe ACORN would be a great organization. Now it's too late.
It's time to start a new organization without all the 'anti-conservative vs anti-liberal' stuff. It needs to not have 'political ties'. It's sad that the people who really need help may not get it now. Shame on ACORN. Shame on us for not checking into it.

If you watched the interviews with the people who did the filming, you'd know the answers to your questions. It was never intended to take a turn into being a 'human trafficking' issue. This is why this vids were so appauling. I'm sure that the police were involved. An investigation is being made on the last guy in the 5th video. His identity is not shown for a reason.This whole article is to justify the means of ACORN not being a support of 'human trafficking'. The message is poorly defended and executed.
The gov't funding needs to stop first. An investigation will be made shortly following. I'm definite that there will be a due process just no one would investigate or try to see what ACORN really was except these 2 amatuers. Apparently, the staff at ACORN thinks the tapes were edited and doctored yet, didn't hesitate to fire the employees who were involved. It's a contradicting move. There is a timer ticker on the vids to prove that they were real and original. Wise move for the guy who filmed it. There were some edits done later for fitting the news slots but, the original is unaltered.
It took two young, concerned citizens, $1300, and an unlikely story that just kept growing in illegal activity to bring down a billion dollar, gov't funded organization. Incredible. Someone should have done this a LONG time ago. Kudos to the brave pair that stood up for exposing corruption of magnificent proportions. I encourage you to watch the interviews with the pair who did this.
I also believe that ACORN was a great organization or what 'intended' to be a helpful program for low income families. I am not looking forward to hearing about the damage that this unaccounted gov't spending allowed this organization to do. I think a lot of this is why our housing market was hit.
Lastly, the reason it was only aired on FOX NEWS is because CNN, NBC, and ABC wouldn't air it. They are part of the Obama support network. They could have reported it but were too busy airing things like, 'The Naked Cowboy'. They are losing ratings daily. Especially, with the TIME article on Glenn Beck. www.drudgereport.com has tv ratings. You can see that FOX NEWS is almost triple in viewership now because of the lack of coverage on ACORN and many other issues.

Honestly, I believe that the reaction (or lack of reaction) of the ACORN workers could indicate that they have taken on this kind of situation before. They seemed to be willing to help them in more ways than just tax evasion...they gave them pointers on how to conceal the trafficking. Even encouraged them to have a chaperone with the girls...to me, I think this video doesn't prove that they are trafficking but, am not surprised if they have helped to find gov't funding for it.
