Colbert, ACORN pimp: Tricks of the trade

I knew the rights anti ACORN nonsense wasn't holding water a few weeks after it happened. This O'Keefe clown that was doing the video taping was trying to pass himself off to ACORN as a US Senator - all of which is the subject of a law suit right now.

31 House Republicans recently supported a resolution honoring accused felon James O'Keefe. This scary freak is actually a hero to a frightening conservative movement that reaches from militias and racists in every dark nook and cranny of the nation clear to the senior Republican leadership in the House and Senate. It's a movement that has been flirting with armed revolution and secession, disrupting political meetings in the tradition of the German Brown Shirts of the 1930s, and carrying semiautomatic rifles to town halls and Presidential addresses. The last time right-wing terrorist nuts were ignored two of them ending up blowing up a building in Oklahoma City and killed 168 innocent people including 19 children.

It's funny how 60 minutes can go undercover in a similar fashion and be praised for their work but, go against a liberal organization and it doesn't meet that standard. And something else that I find hilarious is that the Liberals tune to Comedy Central as a news outlet. While Comedy Central is more of a news outlet than MSNBC so I guess that's why.

Only in America!

The Brooklyn D.A. was probably offered an appointment as a Federal Judge by Eric Holder.
Juvenile prostitution, tax evasion and money laundering aren't crimes when it comes to the liberal, get the democratic vote out-- ACORN Organization.

Yeah, except for the fact that 60 minutes doesn't cut and splice video tape to meet a political agenda like your Wingnut hero/accused felon James O'Keefe did here.

Try again, Clown..

A quick quiz for DNC Swamp readers--Which of the following does Mark Silva label as "infamous"?

1. Dem Congressman Charley Rangel's cheating on his taxes, and violating House ethics rules.
2. Barack Obama offering a judgeship to the brother of a Congressman whose vote Obama needs?
3. Dem Congressman Eric Massa resigning after he was accused of pawing a male staffer.
4. Tax cheats in Obama's Cabinet (too many to name).
5. James O'Keefe trying to uncover fraud.

If you answered "5", you've Aced the quiz.

Here's the kind of "journalists" that we have in the Mainstream Media. Watch this guy go berserk about the teaparty.

Right wingers are so gullible and downright stupid. They always defend criminals and demonize the victims. Acorn does good work and lost millions in federal aid due to an illegal, unethical sting operation conducted by one of these dumb rednecks. Hopefully O'Keefe will serve time in prison.

RNC Brucie,
If the media is really "librul" like you claim it is then why do the Wingnuts light their hair on fire in opposition everytime the Fainess Doctrine comes up for discuusion?

This isn't a trick question, Brucie, and as usual, you have no answer for it.

It's kind of strange, given the amount of air time that OKeefe's blatant right wing lies and propaganda received, that the truth of the affair has not been shouted from the rooftops?

You'd think the 'Fair and Unbalanced' network and the "Liberal Media" would provide the same sort of coverage for the demonstration of ACORN's innnocence that they did for the cut, and spliced O'Keefe hit job.

Trickled On HoHoHo,

Instead 60 minutes just uses a forged memo in trying to disgrace the president of the United States. Remember the Bush National Guard Memo.

As for other News Organizations - NBC Dateline rigging gas tanks on GM trucks. Those MSM outlets are always on the up and up.

Derrick,

The Fairness Doctrine would put the gov't back in charge of content. Who determines what is "equal time"? If you answered a gov't bureacrat, you are correct.

Triple H.

You really think they don't cut and splice video. Did you ever see the one about the exploding vehicle. And then it was found out they made it explode. And let's not forget the nuttest of nuts over on MSNBC and that would be Ratigan. This idiot is worse than Keith, and Rachel MadCOW. So please don't even try to hold up the liberal media as a standard bearer. And a few weeks ago on one of the nightly news programs they did a report about Toyota. And once again they rigged the vehicle so it would do what they wanted to do. Do you want more examples about how the biased mainstream media not only cut and splice video but, also make up whole story. We do not have to bring up the nightly news anchor and a certain letter that never existed.

Derrick

Were you even around when the Fairness Doctrine was? Bring it back and there will be no political commentary on TV or the radio. The Sunday morning programs were nothing like they are today because of the Fairness Doctrine. And National Public Radio was a wasteland of how to and cooking shows. The Democrats want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine because liberalism does not sell and a good example of that is Air America radio.

HHH, sorry, but the entire video of O'Keefe and the girl is available when they are meeting with ACORN leaders. No cutting, no splicing. That is saved for folks like media matters and the rest of the corrupt media to do.

Funny, Steny Hoyer admitted he has known of the allegations against Congressman Massa for quite some time and never did anything about it.
Funny, that Mark Silva would ignore that.
Funny, the hypocrisy of Silva and the rest of the fraudulent bunch that calls itself the mainstream media.
Funny, I am sure that Silva will censore this again.

Ah Mark, hate to correct you, but ACORN lost its federal funding because everyone knows that it is a corrupt organization. It is under investigation in at least 15 states...for voter fraud, etc.

Poser Terry,
The reason the right freaks out about the Fairness Doctrine is because they know that they already dominate the media and they know that they're "librul media" meme is crap. And by the way, the Fairness Doctrine has absolutely NOTHING to do with content. A prime example of equal time would be anything running opposite of the thousands of right wing AM Hate Radio programs that you already enjoy, Terri.

And as far as 60 minutes goes, Dan Rather was proven right, your hero Shrub Jr WAS A DRAFT DODGER who was helped along by his daddy GW Bush. The only reason anything was made of this in the first place was because the Right Wing Noise Machine that dominates the corporate media talking points smeared Rather after he told the truth about Shrub Jr.

Your hero, accussed felon James O'Keefe, has already been outed as a liar and a right wing propagandist.

Deal with it!

Trickled HoHoHo,

The right wing dominates the media? Other than Fox News and the WSJ wnat MSM sources are considering right-wing?

NYTimes - loony left. WaPo - left, NBC - over the cliff flatliner, ABC - left, CBS - left, CNN - left, PBS - left, and the list goes on.

Polls have shown in the past few presidential elections that the media votes democratic over 80% of the time.

Proven right is one thing, concocting "facts" is another. Those facts always seem concocted against the conservatives.

Triple H.

Once more I will show you how big of an moronic idiot you have become;

And that is only from MSNBC. Would you like same from the other lib networks.

Document facts are, in the mind of some bigots "Right Wing Lies". Evidently these folks believe that a personal collectivist political agenda run by felons is more important the Freedom of Speech. I don't believe that ACORN has shown any contradictory evidence to prove the document facts wrong. But to the "touch-feely" crowd what do facts matter if they don't conform with our jaded view of Democracy?

I noticed that the "Post" no longer keeps tabs on our troops killed and wounded in Afghanistan since late January? Did the lose interest or did it not enhance their left-wind agenda?

What a shocker the unedited tapes are finally out there and what does it show? Edited to fit a political agenda. Breitbart (not sure of spelling) now claims that fox news had the unedited tapes all along. This shows that hundreds of comments, stories, Jabs and cries to prosecute were all knowingly a lie. What a joke this is your Fox news not mine. How many lies will it take for you guys to say enough. All this shows it that Fox news watchers don't care about the truth just so it makes you feel good. When a comedy show is more truthful then a news organization maybe you have to decide which one is really the comedy show. These days when somebody says something untrue or stupid to me the first comment from me is oh you must watch Fox news and the response I get is yes. Fox news viewers think they are so informed and I just keep laughing at them. The lies just keep growing.

Poser Terri,
You can play the Druggy Rush/Faux News "the media is librul" meme all you want.

Corporations run the media nowadays and the Radical Right is in the back pocket of the Corporations. That's why the right is able to get absolutely stupid memes like "Death Panels" out there and have them taken seriously.

Go ahead and have the last word Terri, I'm not going to play any of your sociopathic games today.

Crying Wingnut,

After looking over the latest GOP Fundraising memo, I'd say you, Clown in DC and Poser Terry all fall into the Reactionary/Fearful/Useful Idiot category.

That pretty much sums up your irrational hatred towards the minority helping Acorn right there. What do you think?

Clown in DC,

Not one of those so-called 'examples' of yours shows any of those people doctoring tape, splicing tape, manipulating the audio, pretending to be a pimp, pretending to be a prostitute or pretending to be one of the Village People (telephone repairman) while attempting to manipulate the phone system in the Federal office of a sitting US Senator.

Clown, you need to go sit in the corner for a while and take a time out. And seeing as how you're one of the dumber Wingnuts on here let me give you some advice - when you're in a hole - Stop Digging!

Trickled On HoHoHo,

See NBC, owned by General Electric, whose CEO sits on BO's economic advisor board. General Electric also rec'd millions in tarp money and is receiving millions in contracts thru BO's push of the "green economy". The last word is always the truth.

Not all corporations are conservatives.

Better to be a useful idiot than an unuseful idiot.

Triple H.

Once more my post was above you. These were just showing how off the wall a lot of the people at just MSNBC are. The fraudulent letter about President Bush was done by Dan Rather's on 60 minutes Wednesday, September 8, 2004. In June 1978 ABC reported that they had evidence that all Ford cars would explode in rear end collisions. What they failed to mention that in their videos they used incinerate devices to blow up the cars. In December 1980 60 minutes reported that the CJ Jeep had a rollover problem. The only problem is the vehicle was control by a robot device that could rotate the steering wheel quickly for a total of 1100° and up to 1805° per second and it took 435 runs to get the vehicle to roll over eight times. A human driver would only be able to rotate the steering wheel up to 580° in the same time. 60 minutes March 1981 saying now the most common tire rim used by heavy trucks can fly off meaning or killing tire mechanics and bystanders. The film that 60 minutes used what was done by the Insurance Institute to dramatize what would happen if a tire ram failed. What 60 minutes did not report was that the Institute modified the ram so it would which all came out in a court case filed against 60 minutes which they lost. Here are some more 60 minutes again 1986 Audi 5000 and sudden acceleration in the end the car was modified to do just that. And let's not forget the dateline report about GM trucks exploding. Now you little pea brain liberal try to do some of your own research next time. Because smacking you down is becoming way too easy. And just think they were only about cars.

That is the best the Republican-Libertarian-T.Baggers can give us, phony video, phony stories, phony personalities and phony arguments. They are the Party of the Phony and of the Obstructionists,which was very well demonstrated with the kooks in Texas. The Party of the Hutchinsons, the Browns and the Perrys are eating each other, for lunch !! Keep up the phoniness, boys and girls of the Republican-Libertarian-T.Baggers, America continues to need to see you at your unadulterated, phoniest
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Poser Terri,
Corporations control the Conservative loving corporate media, period, end of story.

Clown in DC,
You're not proving anything other than how stupid you are by mindlessly posting MSNBC videos. Go put on your dunce cap and stand in the corner for a while, you're out of your league here.

Face it Wingnutters, the reason ACORN has been a target for the right wing lunatic fringe is because they serve poor inner-city people, which is one of the many demographics that Republicans despise. In addition, the people they register to vote generally vote Democratic. All this talk of corruption is nothing more than another right wing red herring. The irregularity in the ACORN voter rolls was first reported by the organization itself (Mickey Mouse can't vote, you morons). But the Faux Noise conspiracy theorists are not interested in letting facts get in the way of their crazy authoritarian ideology.

The Reichwing cockroaches and the predatory corporatist crooks that they support, hate and fear ACORN because it's a successful grassroots organization (CA. 50 years old) with actual national power that it uses for normal working-class Americans (not for the fascist right wing agenda of the über-rich). ACORN is a federation of self-governing locals with a national board comprised largely of poor people and minorities; it has 400,000 low- & moderate-income members in 100+ cities in 40 states. Reichwing corporate sellouts hate it because they're always lusting for slave-labor wages, therefore they hate ACORN - so they lie, propagandize and cry.

Trickled On HoHoHo,

Reading is obviously above your pay grade.

MSM media votes 80% democratic. Doesn't matter who owns them as long as their profit margins are met. Their message is liberal. - Nuff said dimwit.

Take Lincoln's advice "Better to remain silent and thought a fool, then speak and remove all doubt"

HHH

So I give you examples from 60 Minutes, Dateline, and 20/20 and all you can bring up his MSNBC. And right now there are 17 investigations in 17 different states into Acorn. The founders brother (Dale Rathke) had to step down because he was stealing money from the organization. And four are in jail for voter activities and fraudulent behavior with 12 more on their way. And for your information Acorn was not the first to report their own fraud. Do a little research you little weed Wacker and maybe you get one of your post right. Acorn has a 7% error rate which is the highest among organizations doing voter drives.

In October 2009, Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell claimed in a subpoena that ACORN's board of directors found that a larger amount—$5 million—was embezzled from the organization. Bertha Lewis, ACORN's CEO said the allegation is false. On November 6, following up on the subpoena, Caldwell served a search warrant at the ACORN headquarters in New Orleans. Caldwell stated, "This is an investigation of everything — Acorn, the national organization, the local organization and all of its affiliated entities."

Acorn also played a large role in the housing bubble. By basically blackmailing lenders into giving money for homes that the people buying them could not afford. By forcing the lenders to lowered their standards they played a part in the housing bubble and most thinking people (non-liberals) know this. Acorn started out with good intentions but, over the years have become corrupt which is a sad story in itself. Their foot soldiers are mostly honest people it is when you start to move up the chain of command you will find corruption. So little weed Wacker you need to grow up and join the rest of us in a real world. Because Acorn is not what it once was.

Crook, while I don't get into the TV media blame-game, I found it funny that most of your evidence was gathered from 1/4 century ago or older. Not a compelling arguement on your end.

As for your last post, money corupts all. I can give you 100 examples of stealing money from a church, for every one that you give for Acorn. What happens if there was a huge pedophilia sex ring found in Acorn...should it be shut down then? There is a good level of corruption all around us.

Here is an example of the liberal media bias in the mainstream media from one of the liberals leading mouthpieces the disgraced Dan Rather on the Chris Matthew show;

"Listen he just hasn't been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death. Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate this is what's been used against him, but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."

If this had been Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or any other right wing talking head it would have been all over the newspapers and network news. And I can see here on the Swamp Mark did not even bother to put it up.
