Video: Glenn Beck Interviews Hannah On ACORN Corruption

Amazingly enough, it looks like only Fox News, and the right-wing blogosphere are covering this story. I hear the New York Times is too short staffed these days to handle big breaking stories.

ACORN spokesman, Scott Levenson, naturally denies any wrongdoing on ACORN’s part.

    Regardless of whatever anyone thinks about Beck…he is good for this country. The people are becoming aware of what is happening.

  2. nicedeb Says:

    I agree. And he’s taking a lot of hits from the left for it.

  3. JackStraw Says:

    In a completely unrelated note, the two ACORN workers in question were just fired for not upholding the high standards of ACORN.

    You can’t make this stuff up and fortunately, you don’t have to.

  4. Dennis Says:

    I’m a Beck fan — he did great work on Van Jones — but this story seems like it is way overblown. If ACORN is right — and shame on Glenn Beck for not asking this question when he interviewed her — “Hannah” went to at least three other ACORN offices before she found two women — probably undereducated, pathetically gullible single moms, judging by the kids screaming in the background — who played right into the trap. I’m not excusing them, but to think that these two women somehow prove that ACORN and by extension Obama is corrupt (because after all Glenn has video of Obama inviting some apparently Acorn-aligned group to help shape his administration’s policy) is really ridiculous.

  5. ACORN worker Says:

    Whoops, I just helped a pimp sneak in children from El Salvador so that they can be used as sex slaves. Don’t blame me though, i’m just a single mom with a lot on my mind.

  6. ACORN worker Says:

    Hannah” went to at least three other ACORN offices before she found two women

    Heck yeah. I hope your statement is true. It would mean only 25% of ACORN offices HELP people commit sexual acts on children. But I wonder why the other 3 offices didn’t call the cops? I guess 100% of ACORN will turn a blind eye to this sort of thing.

    Van Jones, Gates, Ayers, Wright and now this child sex slave ACORN s***. F*** Obama and his defenders.

  10. ACORN NOT Says:

    “but this story seems like it is way overblown.” The fact is these two women were willing to allow under-age girls to be sex slaves. How is this “way overblown”?! These women should be prosecuted. Also, it is reported that one of the women had business cards with only her first name on it. What should this tell you about hiding ones identity? Also, if these women were willing to commit all these illegal acts, what else have they done?

  11. Dennis Says:

    You sort of miss my point…yes absolutely, these women should be fired (they have been, I think) and prosecuted. But if these were just run-of-the-mill amoral criminals, that would not warrant a full hour on Glenn Beck. Beck’s point is that ACORN itself is corrupt and promotes sex trafficking. And that Obama by association is corrupt and is driving this country to a new world where bringing underage illegal aliens for sex is OK. And my response is that is nonsense. I genuinely think Beck is doing good work… if he harps on this particular story for too long it will absolutely backfire on him.

  12. nicedeb Says:

    ACORN itself is corrupt…yes, that is the point. Corruption is endemic throughout the organization. This story helps illustrate that. That’s why it’s important.

  13. flag.therealamerica Says:

    Oh ya, CNN, part of the right-wing shock troops (Not just Lou Dobbs but Campbell Brown covered this story).

    Oh and this didn’t just happen once…in Baltimore.

    Now try on Washington DC

  14. Mal Says:

    A crock as usual. Don’t let any facts get in your way, do you, Nicedeb?

  15. geoff Says:

    Did you have something to say, Malky?

    Guess not.

  16. nicedeb Says:

    Oh, hey, hi Mal….so help me out with the facts, here.

  17. Marie Says:

    Dear Acorn Not,

    Have you watched this video? http://www.biggovernment.com/

    These women are not “uneducated, pathetically gullible.” They are well-spoken and clever and give them very pointed advice. Quite frankly, the sound experienced in giving this type of advice. Certainly not at a loss for how to “help” these two poor unfortunately souls who desperately need housing to avoid living in the streets.

  19. Marie Says:

    Sorry … my comment should have been directed to Dennis. If this were any other situation, the issue would not be put to rest with the firing of these two individuals. The entire organization would be investigated. You argue that Hannah had to go to three offices before she found such corruption. My reaction was “only three” before she found this? I would expect her to find weeks or months of rejection before finding somebody who played into her trap.

  20. Dennis Says:

    Well, I really am not trying to defend these women. But she didn’t really seem evil, did she? More like someone in a strange box who could not see beyond her basic mission of helping everyone who comes in the door. The actor gave her so many prompts, regarding prostitution, age of the girls etc, it was positively painful that she didn’t realize she was being set up.

  22. AScheele Says:

    Where is the real reporting on stories that should be seen? Acorn is corrupt and this is just another discusting example of it. This is just the tip of the iceburg! Those women acted like this was a common occurrence! CNN you just lost another person to FOX News where the news is truly fair and balanced! Wake up!

  24. Nick in Gettysburg/Auburn Says:

    I question the legality of this. It is important to note that the person filming is a normal filmmaker and not a member of a law enforcement agency. That is to say, the entire video is moot. The only thing the ACORN workers can be charged with is a minor charge of conspiracy. The filmmaker, on the other hand can actually be in more trouble. In Maryland, for film and taped conversations to be made and released, there must be mutual consent. We also must note that these workers faces were shown without consent. In the end, the filmmaker can be charged with multiple crimes that can entail 5 years in prison and $10,000 in fines. The worst part is that if he hadn’t pretended to be a pimp, many of the things the ACORN workers did could be called out. The fact that he was faking negates many things.
    Lastly to “maniapill”, I suggest you not call it a “Thugacracy” lest you who speaks against racism be considered a racist. I say that with complete concern as I understand where you are coming from but the wording could be better.

  25. Mal Says:

    Hannah Giles, member of racist Young America’s Foundation, daughter of Doug Giles, town hall columnist. Spent her life savings entrapping acorn folks (yeah right – daddy aint gonna help you?) Prostitute for the lunar right. Doesn’t like acorns but has never seen one before. Bimbo.

  26. geoff Says:

    Great. Now Malky’s hitting the bottle.

  27. nicedeb Says:

    Gosh…yeah…those poor Acorn folks, huh Mal? They were only more than willing to enable a fellow liberal Democrat and his prostitute GF get their teenage sex trade operation up and running. How racist of those two to expose how disgusting and corrupt ACORN is.

    Mal, you’re barely worth responding to these days, your troll-fu is so weak.

  34. Anonymous Says:

    ok I clearly missed something there…nobody said anything about the girls being prostitutes. Are we all watching the same video?

  35. nicedeb Says:

    Hannah Giles, the 20 yr old woman being interviewed, and her partner in crime, 25 yr old James O’Keefe conducted stings at 4+ ACORN offices, starting in Baltimore, Maryland. They posed as a pimp and his prostitute girlfriend wanting help from ACORN in getting a loan for a house. Every ACORN office they’ve gone to so far, has been more than happy to help them set up a brothel of imported underage prostitutes. You can watch all of the videos, here.

  37. JR Says:

    ACORN should be shut down, but seriously this is a drop in the bucket of the 100B/5 weeks quoted by Beck…let’s see:

    800B/yr on Defense & Wars
    700B to bail out banks
    60B/yr on public education that is making kids dumber
    30B/yr energy dept. that has done the exact opposite of what it was designed for

    The list goes on and on.
