We like the truth.
It is you who is looking in the mirror, seeing your own soul, or lack of one, and trying to portray us as being similar to you. We aren't.
That doesn't change the fact that David Feherty said some unfunny stuff that impugned our servicemen and suggested they, and Feherty, are traitorous to the USA.
And the point of this was that Beck baselessly suggested that these former employees were in physical danger for speaking out. That's crazy talk. That's Beck.
That is a far cry from flat-out claiming that they never got any federal government money whatsoever.
So NO, I was not wrong and YOU are the one who is brainwashed.
Looking at the shape our economy is in and the $trillions of tax dollars needed to prop up the banks, it would be hard to find anyone more deserving of a protest than the executives of companies that sponsored the subprime loans.
FL, your logic must be wherever the elusive Iraq WMD are, lost in the Never Never Land of Bushian nonsense.

Wow I think this will be the next red scare for the right.....ACORN is gonna get you run in terror as they register people to vote and help the less fortunate....GODZILLA.....more people trying to scam a company out of their money.....tickle me Elmo and Big Bird will vote in the next election....and you can be safe from ACORN if you hide under your desks and tuck your head between your knees.
As a viewer of this circus of hilarious incompetence I say Bravo! ACORN *Beck runs and hides* sorry I meant encore
Beck didn't say "physical danger" he just said "danger". That could include a beating or a firebomb, their pets being killed their jobs being taken away by a boss whose received warnings from someone ACORN will say was not acting on their behalf.
When the "ACORN is not scheduled to get any money from the TARP" argument was repeated to these dissenting and now former ACORN execs. they both spontaneously broke out in laughter. They then explained that this is the way ACORN works. ACORN the parent organization may not get any money, but ACORN is composed of more than one hundred organizations that may. One of the reasons they lost their jobs was that they were trying to get ACORN to be more accountable about such resources and were denied access to information. (This by the way means that half a dozen or more of MMFA's recent articles on this subject count, by their own standards, as lies because they failed to mention that this refuting information was out there.)
Typically, MMFA has taken one possibly disputable sentence and used it to try to discredit the entire interview and its host.
In the State of Washington the Democrat won the governors election in 2004 by about 30 votes after two recounts in which "mislaid" ballots were discovered in Democratic districts on 19 seperate occasions. The Republican conceded. Two years later, after the investigation was completed, we found that there were more than 1,000 votes by dead, non-existent, inelligible and doppleganger-plagued voters. Of course, these are blind ballots and no one can say which fake ballot was cast for which candidate. But this is a state where ACORN was active not only in registrations but in ballot monitoring. This is also a state in which several ACORN workers were prosecuted and confessed or were found guilty of registration fraud. The presence of great numbers of unaccounted for registrations opens the potential for unscrupulous people to get ahold of extra mail-out ballots which can then be filled out and cast to tip the balance in a close election.
ACORN - If you don't accept that there is a problem you are not paying attention.
