I watched an interview Glenn Beck did with Ms. Reid and another member of the ACORN 8 and while I know I can't hope to get any of the ACORN apologists, in this forum, to watch; as much because it's Glenn Beck as it is they're not interested in the truth, I'd be interested in your responses.
Ms. Reid has been fired by the national organization of ACORN but her local board has stood in the gap. She had the audacity to ask for an audit of her chapter's books and, well, ACORN couldn't have that can of worms opened, it seems.
What chapter? The Washington D. C. chapter.
Ms. Reid and the other member of the ACORN 8 also discuss many of ACORN's other abuses with Glenn Beck.
Here is the interview in three parts. If you want to skip Beck's show intro, you can go to approximately 2:50 in the first part:
PART I
PART II
PART III
I'm curious as to why it's not big news -- on the major networks -- that ACORN's Washington D.C. chapter is in such turmoil...over issues where the "terminated" chairwoman is alleging national fraud and abuse by her own organization.
It's more curious why the confession by the Repug programmer who stole the OH election, and therefore the election, for the Repugs didn't get any press play. In how many elections has Acorn reversed the result? After years of screaming by the Repugs of voting fraud, how many fradulent voters have been convicted? Prosecuted by dubya's politicized US attorneys told to make voter fraud their priority. Bullsit voter fraud accusations is just another reason why the pissed-off wrongies are more irrelevant and ignored than ever.

Nice diversion...but, if a Republican operative isn't getting press it's because there's nothing to the story. Now can we discuss something that actually has current implications?

Glenn Beck got owned by that ACORN spokesman a couple days ago and had to resort to shouting him down, cutting his mic, and acting childish... when all the other guy was doing was having a civil debate.
There's a girl on this site who actually works for ACORN's San Antonio office and it's nothing like the boogey man that Republicans are trying to paint it.
@ Glenn Beck. He's a horrible comedian, and a horrible political commentator. He's such a ing phony.
Of course Yoni is done in by his own hypocrisy. I seem to remember a few moons ago when some Bush officials made damaging claims about the justification for the Iraq war and the President. Yoni came out claimed 'they were scorned employees' , or they 'had an ax to grind'. One of personal favorites was Yoni telling us that these folks couldn't be believed because of their agendas to get Bush. Yoni never believed any of it to be true no matter how many people made the same claims.... Yet now Yoni believes a former 'scorned', 'agenda driven' employee... when it comes to a democrat affiliated group.......You have zero credibility..
"People in these tough times need to be responsible with how they spend their money... with the way government is behaving... every penny is going to be important... to yourself and to your family"....
about 15 seconds later...
"Don't forget to pick up your Dashboard Obama at GlennBeck.com... just 5.95. you too can have the Messiah watching over your shoulder. :stupid voice he always does: Even though he's doing it already, if you know what I mean.
That's the magic of having everything both ways. Yoni's judgment can always be turned inside-out to suit the case. The gambit involves a significant gain in rhetorical efficiency, at the expense of overall credibility.
Oh, and here's the video of Beck getting "shouted down" by that ACORN spokesperson who, incidentally, confirmed what Ms. Reid and her associate were saying; that ACORN takes activists off the street, doesn't pay them a living wage, gives them quotas to meet to avoid being fired and, then, acts surprised when these activists resort to criminal activity.
Video:
Also notice the ACORN guy got booted because he pulled a clambake and accused Glenn Beck of being afraid of black people.
If you're going to say he got owned by this guy, you should at least post the video.
This guy didn't own anyone. He avoided the questions, tried talk over Glenn Beck and completely failed to exonerate ACORN of anything.
Seriously, it was a good analogy. If any company had as many people under investigation, indictment, and su ion as does ACORN, you'd quit blaming the people and start blaming the company.
I know you won't watch any of these videos because it's on Glenn Beck but, tell me, what liberal blog or news organization is talking to the ACORN 8 or questioning the ACORN national organization about corruption in their ranks?
No one.
At least with these videos you can listen to both sides of the ACORN issue. The spokesperson who allegedly "owned" Beck and the two members of the ACORN 8 who are speaking out against the corrupt administration of ACORN in hopes of saving their organization.

Okay...at least I looked at the accusations. By the way, I'm merely stipulating for the sake of this argument, that everything you claim I said is true. You don't give much context. I do know I wouldn't make those claims without looking at the argument being made.
