      Real news organizations don't promote defense funds because those real news groups are impartial.

      This is pretty offensive. How dare he publicize her defense fund?

        I mean beck called out all his viewers to try to find something on ACORN and this is how these videos likely came to fruition. So I guess if FOX is going to promote making the news its irrelevant if they promote a defense fund for the very people they called to arms because beck cant actually do reporting himself.

        Whats appalling to me is that the democrats in congress seem completely oblivious to the fact that this whole thing was orchestrated by FOX to intentionally manipulate the situation with the sole intention of shutting down or mainly shutting down government funding of ACORN. Its not like acorn employees were asking her to be a prostitute. She told them she would be one and they didnt care and wanted to make her living situation more affordable. God forbid a poor person cuts corners. Lord knows some big corporate guy or government guy would never be caught cutting corners with their taxes. oh yea, OUR FRICKEN SECRETARY OF TREASURY!!! And multiple congressman among others. What was gEITNER raking in those days? Just a cool 400,000 or more.

          Do you have any documentation about Fox orchestrating the acorn expose"? Or are just delusional clains of yours? And what did Fox manipulate? They merely aired the tapes of the acorn criminals. Perhaps the dems in Congress have a little more commen sense than you and recognize that acorn is a criminal enterprise,

              Who let the inmates run the assylum on this thread, anyway? Fox News can dupe its viewers into paying Giles' and Breitbart's lawyers if they like, we already know they are openly advocating against the administration on a daily basis. All the lawyers in the world won't help, when the facts are as clear as in this case. They broke the law. They will be punished.

          Maybe the conservatives are trying to shut down any aid to the census, to try and prevent redistricting that represents greater percentages of minorities and the poor, which "equals" votes for the Democrats...

        Well, I am not sure why you want to make it know to the whole wide world that you can't be majorly outraged at one or more things while you are minorly ticked off at other things - typically, one wants to brag about one's strengths and minimize or hide one's weaknesses!

        And your suggestion that being concerned about this is too distracting for you to be concerned about something more important isn't a good thing for you.

        And your suggestion that we're not more concerned about other more important things is a strawman argument. See, we can be really concerned about the really important stuff and still point out these things too.

        FoxNews promoting a defense fund is really offensive.

      Congratulations as you have stripped ACORN of all government funding. The Association for Community Organizations of Reform Now which is defined on wiki as "a collection of community-based organizations that advocate for low- and moderate-income families by working on neighborhood safety, voter registration, health care, affordable housing, and other social issues." Many props as this sounds like a whirlwind of greed and corruption and anti-American sentiment that likely funded terrorism and Im sure had some connection to the assassination of most American presidents including Abraham Lincoln if Im not mistaken.

      Facts are that ACORN was founded in 1970 and has since dedicated itself to better housing and wages for the poor, more community development investment from banks and governments and better public schools. ACORN pursues these goals through demonstration, negotiation, lobbying for legislation, and voter participation. And why did beck target them? They also champion liberal and labor oriented causes- so clearly no political motivation involved.

      ACORN champions such noble causes as seeking out and removing predatory lending and foreclosure scams. After katrina, ACORN built 2000 homes and have directly found housing for at least 2000 homeowners who found themselves homeless in the aftermath. They provide assistance to the poor and fight for better wages for those who can't afford basic necessities. They have been a strong proponent of education by hiring more teachers and building more schools as well as promoting increased funding for education.

      And because of two bad apples, you succeeded in getting government to pull all their federal funding. Im sure mommy and daddy are so proud of their little girl and Im sure sachs and bank of america and citi and merrill and morgan stanley dont have ANY bad apples at all so we have to make sure everyone who gets government money or any political influence uses it correctly except for CEO bonuses- that we just ignore. But this conglomerate of corruption, this octopus with tentacles shooting venom into every crevice of american society, this giant beast of twisted ideological terror must be taken down at all costs. i MEAN WE cant very well have organization with some political power, lobbying, government funding, infrastructure and influence be representing the poor or minorities. We must keep them powerless and allow the giant corporations run be millionaire CEOs who know how to handle such power to guide us.

      Whats next up for beck in terms of nonprofit community service initiatives? A few ideas may involve something genuinely evil like habitat for humanity or Amnesty International. Clearly affordable housing and human rights groups should not be overly represente and pervasive in a country that likes to deny housing and abuse human rights on occasion whenever we feel like redefining international law and asserting American national sovereignty.

      Maybe something even bigger like the World health organization - they really have everyone fooled with their whole eradicating disease around the world front when it is so transparent that the vaccines are really controlled by Hamas to eliminate the American and israeli threats. What about that sleazy Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation or the pediatric AIDS foundation or the world wildlife fund. Of course, FOX viewers are all too aware that Bill Gates is a robot and AIDS is just another fabrication by the left like global warming and evolution and gravity. Everyone knows all these groups are just controlled by Obama and run by SEIU out of some basement in Mongolia as a bottomless pit of power and money.

      Seriously though, I bet if someone brought a video tape into goldman sachs and taped them doctoring the books, media may not even notice it or care and certainly not FOX. Madoff was basically called out as a fraud long before his collapse and no one gave a hoot. FOX's double standards are incredible.

        Because they are crooks.

        "Madoff was basically called out as a fraud long before his collapse and no one gave a hoot. FOX's double standards are incredible"

              He said that Fox was nowhere near as interested in the Madoff scandal as they are in this ACORN thing. If you honestly think that's the same as accusing Fox of being responsible for what he did, then... well, you're not displaying any more cognitive dissonance than usual.

      The republican party is a bigger criminal enterprise tyan Acorn.

      The RNC remains under a court ordered consent decree to avoid voter supression. Yet they continue to this day to supress voters rights, through puring of voter rolls through "caging" and other methods.

      32 people were convicted from the Reagan administration and if we had a less corrupt system many from the Dubya adm will be in jail.

      Of course, Dubya and Rove purged the DoJ of disloyal attorneys

        Well, first of all, you don't know what you're talking about. Because the future funding that ACORN lost, was never applied to voter registration drives, as in, federal funding was never used to register voters (again, they register everyone, not just democrats, not just republicans, and are required by LAW to turn in all forms, real, or fraudulent).

        So, ACORN will not be affected one bit by this loss of funding as it pertains to their voter registration actions.

        The democrats will not need to respond at all. Why do you guys have such heartburn with a group that promotes the poor as having a say in their world, and getting them to vote?

      How come, all of these so called conservatives ALWAYS have defense funds for themselves? What happened to personal responsibility that we hear conservatives yelling about all of the time? What happened to being responsible for your actions? What happened to NOT paying for someone else's way? Because, this is what Giles is doing here. Expecting other people to PAY for her mistakes.

      Other notable examples of this. Savage. Palin. Libby. And so on.
