This morning, the Lynn Woolley Show broadcast live from the 2nd floor of the Phoenix Park Hotel. FAIR puts on an extremely organized and sound event, culminating in the "We the People" Immigration Reform Awards Ceremony & Reception. Glenn Beck received one of the words and accepted via video.
Energy level high all day with one low point. After walking one hour to see Archie Bunker's chair at the American History Museum, we learned that the floor on which it sits is being renovated so no picture. Although, I was able to make a comment about Obama at one of the workers and her reaction told me all I needed to know - she's a fan.
This time, the location is San Bernardino, California. James O'Keefe as the pimp and Hannah Giles as the prostitute who pretends to want to open a brothel with 13 teenage girls from El Salvador.
In the video, you see them talking to an ACORN employee named "Teresa", who confesses that Heidi Fleiss is her "hero". You also see a guy sitting next to Giles, who appears to be an ACORN employee. Teresa then admits to lobbying congress and even identifies congressmen and senators by name.
It doesn't end there. Although Teresa suggests that the couple should get a meeting with the bank president (who was certain to take a liking to Hannah), that's not the worst of it.
When the story of Hannah's abusive pimp is brought up, Teresa admits (ON CAMERA) to murdering her abusive husband.
I wonder if Charlie Gibson will know about this one.
Listen for the, "I killed him" and "I shot him" quotes.
So ABC News' anchor Charlie Gibson appears on WLS in Chicago (Don & Roma show) this morning and is asked about all of these ACORN scandals. His response after a moment of condescending laughter was, "I didn't even know about it."
The last time I heard someone laugh like that after a very serious question was when Barack Obama did it to Steve Kroft asked him about closing down auto dealers. In response to Obama's laughter, Kroft asked if he was "punch drunk".
Gibson sure sounded punch drunk in response to the ACORN question. After claiming ignorance, he got arrogant and suggested that maybe this was a story that should be left to the "cables".
Don: Okay, here’s my news question. A Senate bill yesterday passes, cutting off funds to this group called ACORN. Now, we got that bill passed and we have the embarrassing video of ACORN staffers giving tax advice on how to set up a brothel with 13-year-old hookers. It has everything you could want – corruption and sleazy action at tax-funded organizations and it’s got government ties. But nobody’s covering that story. Why?
Gibson: HAHAHAHAHA. HEHEHE. I didn’t even know about it. Um. So, you’ve got me at a loss. I don’t know. Uh. Uh. But my goodness, if it’s got everything including sleaziness in it, we should talk about it this morning.
Roma: This is the American way!
Gibson: Or maybe this is just one you leave to the cables.
Roma: Well, I think this is a huge issue because there’s so much funding that goes into this organization…
Gibson: I know we’ve done some stories about ACORN before, but this one I don’t know about…
Roma: Jake Tapper did some blogging on it. I know he’s blogged at least once on this scandal.
So it's come to this? The limberal media has had several days to come up with talking points that might explain why they didn't cover the Van Jones story. MSNBC reporter Chuck "call me shameless" Todd is unable to use the argument that Van Jones isn't a communist; he's just someone the right wants to smear.
So what does he do?
He attempts to diminish the stature of Jones in the Obama administration, calling him "number 600 down the list". Ok, so the right is guilty of picking on a guy who didn't have much pull, is that it?
Unbelievable.
CLICK HERE for the exchange between Scarborough and Chuck Todd.
At Obama's joint session speech on September 9th, he said that Obamacare will not add on dime to the deficit. In an interview with CBS' Steve Kroft, he said that the only way to get federal spending "under control" is to reform health care.
These things are so absurd that Karl Rove felt compelled to violate decorum while on O'Reilly last night. When asked by O'Reilly if he thinks Obama truly believes his own rhetoric or is deliberately misleading the American public, Robe chose the latter.
In response to Rove's statement, O'Reilly hit a High "C" note.
