As Seen From the Rational Right

ACORN Over-haul a Result of "Fake Videos" ??????????

ACORN was assertive early on in the video scandal that each instance of fraud caught on tape was isolated, or fake and doctored.  They tried to say that in the San Bernadino video, the employee was joking.  Really?  Funny how that was the 4th video that came out, giving that employee and ACORN plenty of time to come out and preempt the release of that video by saying something like "the two filmmakers went into our San Bernardino office and were 'punked' by one of our employees."  I don't know something like that.  Regardless, why would you now essentially halt operations, call for an independent audit and review (the fact that it's independent scares me), and re-engage your employee training methods if these videos were fake?  Where exactly do you stand ACORN?  Because the story changes everyday.

I believe that ACORN knows there is other dirt out there.  Dirtier dirt and they are scared.  Watch for the "legal action" rhetoric from ACORN slow down as well.  I think they know their leverage is virtually non-existent.

Here is a link to ACORN's official statement.

ACORN San Diego: How to Smuggle Across the Border

    Here's the ACORN video from San Diego.  Yes ACORN is most likely finished.  Videos self explanatory.

MSNBC Doesn't Get It

    On his countdown Keith Olbermann pointed out why the right is racist against Obama even though the White House publicly disagreed with anti-Semitic former President Carter.  Olbermann claims that the Obama "Joker/Socialist" depiction that has gone viral is proof of that, along with saying "you lie" (and then adding an imaginary word like boy after it).  Oh yeah, and the omnipresent Hitler comparison is racist as well.  We'll touch more on this later or you can browse many liberal mainstay Bush/Hitler symbolism from 2000-2008.  Ok, am I ignorant because I don't see the racist symbolism with Obama being depicted as the Joker?  I really don't get it.  Is it a negative depiction period that makes it racist?  Because if that's what the issue is then America has unfortunately lost its right to criticize the President.  Political and Presidential satire has been a part of American culture since its inception.  What I don't remember was outrage of Bush's horrible depictions over his term.  Heck, there were even liberal protests that hinted towards the assassination of Bush.  Do we want to live in a country where you can't openly criticize the President? 

    Let's look at how Bush was depicted by the liberal media and blog circus throughout his term.  Is it racist?  No.  It's the same nature as Obama satire.  We can't have two sets of rules here.  Comparing Bush to Hitler can't be fair and then unfair when they do it to Obama (in reality it's unfair to everyone but I think people have compared EVERY political figure to Hitler since Hitler).  No one REALLY thinks anyone is like Hitler...come on.  It's hyperbole, it's satire. 

    Message to the left:  Just because you hated Bush doesn't mean that mocking him was ok.  Just because you voted for Obama doesn't mean he can't be mocked.  People disagree with Obama as you all disagreed with Bush.  

So here you have Bush as Hitler, the devil, a chimp, and an accessory to 9/11.  I guess that was all fair.  The real racist is the one who would treat the rules of satire for one President different than all those who came before him.  Obama is a big boy, I think he'll be ok without Keith Olbermann and Jimmy "the anti-semite" Carter making accusations for him.  Oh, did I just accuse Jimmy Carter of being an anti-semite based on rumors????  Darn, who else does stuff like that?

 

 

 

White House Calls ACORN Actions "Unacceptable"

Well, I guess we can put to rest any notion of this HUGE story being "noise" or "fake." 

ABC Reports.

ACORN Buckles

ACORN has halted operations in the face of massive public scrutiny.  They are calling for an independent audit.  But I thought the videos were doctored and fake?

More to come.  Follow me on Twitter (Shake My Head) for the latest.

Liberal News Agencies Take Evasive Measures

    When criticized for not reporting on the ACORN and Van Jones stories, the mainstream media acts predictably by suggesting that they weren't relevant news stories.  Oh really?  How was the local issue of a misdemeanor arrest (Professor Gates story) relevant to the national audience?  How was Joe Wilson saying "you lie" during the President's address relevant in the grand scheme of our country?  Besides the fact that the main stream media is now reporting how he's racist.  How is MSNBC devoting air time to "white extremists with guns" (one of them turned out to be black) relevant?  These 12 protesters white and black informed the secret service and police they would be carrying their guns.  Yeah, they are extreme, good report MSNBC. 

    I guess an organization tied to multiple frauds and scams which clearly has an ethics issue in advising low and moderate income groups how to obtain home loans and the fact they receive federal funding and contracts/grants etc. is not important.  No not at all, not when we are trying to instill responsibility in the housing market especially among lower income communities.  It's not a big deal that they are clearly rotten with fraud.  Because that isn't a story when the housing market is in the slumps and almost caused a depression.  That millions, maybe billions of dollars would be wasted on this fraudulent organization teaching people how to cheat the tax system...nah Professor Gates being arrested and rid of charges on a misdemeanor should dominate our living rooms.

ACORN's Ironclad Defense

    ACORN is claiming that the California employee was simply kidding with O'Keefe and Giles. Tresa Kaelke felt scare so she played along with them.  Why not call the cops?  Her manner of speech sounded like she spent some years with crack  or meth so maybe she's a little crazy.  Did she really kill her husband?  That's being investigated but he did have a restraining order against her.  KAELKE RESTRAINING ORDER.

Plan B: They're Racist

    When all else fails, when public support for Government takeover is low, when you can't pass socialist health care reform despite majorities in the house and senate, when your appointees and politically friendly organizations are exposed as frauds and radicals...call your opposition racists.  It's not about piling unearthly sums of debt upon the average American for generations to come and it's certainly not about the attack (by proclaimed Marxists) on the free markets that have conservatives up in arms.  It's because they are racist.  You guys saw it coming.  I did.  The democrats have the ultimate trump card..."can't disagree with him because that makes you a racist."  The media loves it.  You saw my article about the African American with an AR-15 slung on his shoulder, the state run media wanted you to think he was a white racist extremist. 

    They are in the second phase of Plan B (read here).  The first part was buttering you up, constantly talk about race, keep in fresh in your mind.  Make the local and insignificant Gates/Crowley story into a national crisis and when "they acted stupidly" blows up in your face...hold a beer summit to deflect criticism.  Then wait...wait for anything, even if it's not race related and jump on it.  It took two words, "you lie", and we have now confirmed that along with 6 month old babies...all of the GOP is racist. 

    Friends, if you can't see this race baiting for what it is then please continue to tune yourself out from reality.  It's desperation to the extreme.  People don't like what's going on in this country that's why you have dissent.  It is not about black and white.  It's about Government and the fact that many see it's getting too big.  And that's not a slight limited to democrats, it was growing under Bush too.  But it's getting worse.  And despite talks about recovery, Americans are jobless and those jobs aren't coming back.  So people are mad, scared and are not willing to go along with a national financial strategy that forces us to spend ourselves into more debt to get out of current debt. 

    Please, liberals, find another excuse because calling everyone (including 6 month olds) racists will lose it's punch after a while.  You've already turned your back on any hope of bipartisanship, you will continue to alienate the average American when you constantly insult their intelligence.  Extremist, dangerous, wacko, bitter and racist are not terms of endearment.  Remember a lot of fence sitters voted you guys in, and the buzz on the street is...they are feeling a little buyer's remorse.  They will vote you out in 2010 and 2012.  Of course, it won't be for your fault...it will be because...they must be racist.
