ACORN, James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles for Dummies

With this video showing Fox News, Chris Wallace and the Republican Party so gleefully - and wet your pants joyously - making superheros of these two nastyass wingnuts, I have to wonder if indeed that so profound are our differences that it is genetic.

The Nature of the Beast.

Even taking the obvious low road of racism out of this, what is left is a political ideology claiming the moral high ground because it not only could care less about the least of us, but actively blames them, tries to take away what little they have and goes this far out of their way to give them that extra kick in the mouth. Brings back the very words I founded this website on 15 years ago:

I suppose I can understand Republicans' selfish callous disregard for others, it's their pride in it that passes me by. 

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now was formed in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1970. Its charter was to push for free school lunches for poor grade school children, help Vietnam Veterans home from the war, and getting more emergency rooms available in the inner city. It is now funded primarily by half a million dues paying members and supports 1000 employees. Well it seems it is now 995 as a few of the dumbest were recently let go. Who could not smell that scam is beyond me. I guess the reasoning was be nice to eveyone, which has been the failure of Liberals for... For... about a million years...

ACORN is now the largest community organization in America. It is based in the inner cities of 40 states to help the poor deal with issues of housing, predatory credit, minimum wage, unemployment - and of course the reason behind all this - getting African Americans out to vote. It is responsible for getting 1.3 million new voters out in 2008. The words "community organizer" are Republican code for unsavory black people who cause white people trouble.

Barack Obama was a community organizer in Chicago and a law firm he worked for defended ACORN in a few cases.

Though voting fraud accusations against ACORN abound, they are for the most part propaganda games played by talk radio hosts. What few there have been do not matter a wit or a nit, were dealt with by ACORN itself and there have been no indictments or convictions.

Remember Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Turdblossom Karl Rove in trouble for politicizing the Dept of Justice? Well this was the issue, they were trying to depress the minority vote which ACORN was the leader in.

Enter the Pimp James O'Keefe. A mostly unemployed conservative activist who presently distributes Right-wing literature to college campuses. He made a name for himself at Rutgers University with a silly Lucky Charms lawsuit pretending that what the Irish suffer is no different that what African Americans suffer. A reach so far into such insane crap it absolutely is racism. It is what the guy is mostly about, kicking Negroes down... 

Enter the Whore Hannah Giles a right-wing Florida preacher's daughter who spent the Summer training at the National Journalism Center which was also the training ground for Ann Coulter.

Enter conservative columnist Andrew Breitbart an especially angry Right-winger who writes for the conservative newspaper the Washington Times. Breitbart was about to kick off his new website blasting Hollywood Liberals - Big Hollywood - and O'Keefe appeared at his doorstep with these tapes, and here we are.     

Other bit players in this the beyond the pale looneybin The Cato Institute, the almost as crazy Leadership Institute, Fox News, Fox News Sunday, Clash Church, Washington Times, Townhall.com and of course the standard gang of talk radio players Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage and Glenn Beck.
