      Good for Chris. Somebody needs to call these idiots out for what they are doing. ACORN has not done anything . . . some employees have and they were punished.

      "Perhaps a deserving one", is he hedging his opinion? Hey but he blames the right, the last I looked our Congress was overwhelmingly controlled by the democrats. I didn't think the democrats were on the right, you learn something every day.

      ACORN's a victim? They should be praising the "journalists" for helping them (ACORN) root out the bad apples.

        Well if one defines "victim" as any non profit organization who because of a few bad apples,loses ALL of it's funding after decades of working for the poor and disenfranchised...then yes.
        "Victim" will have to do.

        Why doesn't fox care about merrill Lynch bonuses? Why is this all about the ACORN funding? Where is our millions in bailout money from Bank of America that spent a huge chunk on executive bonuses? It comes down to this - FOX targeted a nonprofit, community service organization that tried to help low income, urban families. They forced this garbage that ACORN and obama had deep connections for months. Then, beck calls on someone to help him get ACORN because god forbid, FOX actually does its own or any investigative reporting and then, some kids come in with video of two employees acting illegally and all of the funding is taken away - that will really hurt many good people in this country who struggle to survive in this economy. So I ask again, where is FOX on calling out all the bailout money paying corporate bonuses?? Isn't that the misuse of taxpayer money beyond anything else?

      He said "perhaps a deserving one."

      Is this video supposed to be pro Matthews?

      In the meantime Halliburton, KBR, AIG, Other finacial giants, and Health insurance Cos continue to pillage our economy, hang heavily on the puplic teat, and usually get to write the laws governing their operations.
      Hey but, what about ACORN and its insidious influence.
      Farp!

      Um, did you not hear Chris say "perhaps a deserving one?" You are only hearing what you want to hear. I would wager that there are far more than a few bad apples at Acorn.
