You know there are times when you become so cynical that nothing surprises you.

And then there is Acorn.

You know I would have thought it was just as likely to find Bikini pictures of Robert Stacy McCain and Bikini pictures of Charles Johnson on the net then it was to have someone admit manslaughter to a total stranger in a public place to a complete stranger but apparently I’m still a wide eyed innocent in this world.

Reaction: Hotair:

Can’t wait for that House vote on whether to keep funding this syndicate.

Robert Stacy:

That sound you heard was my head exploding. Even mixing psilocybin and Bolivian flake, it would be hard to have a trip as weird as that.

Steve Den Bestie via Glenn:

“Think O’Keefe will get a Pulitzer Prize for this expose? heh heh heh… yeah, right.”

You know I’d really be interested in his opinion on the McCain/Johnson fight.

Charles Johnson:

Yes, really. This is how bad it’s getting.

Just kidding. That was concerning Pat Buchanan. You didn’t think he would actually comment on a group Glenn Beck opposes do you? Instead he is pushing a Color of Change press release.
(He has a very good point about the Buchanan thing however.)

Wizbang nails it with the post title

Andrew Breitbart As The New Don Hewitt

Gay Patriot:

Wonder how many media outlets in the Golden State will investigate this story?

Glenn goes all Charlie Brown:

Good Grief!

Confederate Yankee:

Tell me, Madame Pelosi: Why should taxpayers still fund this organized criminal conspiracy?

Don Surber

Maybe ABC should get knowledgeable about this because ACORN may go down and take President Richard Milhouse Obama with him. Or maybe not. We shall see.

Gateway Pundit quotes Achmed the dead terrorist :

Holy Crap

I think he has it cold.

More updates when my D & D character is done fighting his way out of our party’s ambush.

Update: Lost a 3rd of my HP but hey I haven’t played D & D for almost a decade.

Flopping Aces:

Kicking ‘im in the ACORNs

The Radio Patriot:

This is stuff you can’t make up

BTW on the lefty blogs the favorite story is Joe Wilson. but Steve Benen at Washington monthly is now quoting Charles Johnson, expect a lot more of this in the days to come.

Talkleft: A search for Acorn newest result is from Oct 2008.

Dissenting Justice Acorn search. No Results.

Firedoglake: Nothing on front page.

Media matters accuses Beck of using Breitbart as a source!

Beck has credited the “instrumental” work of conservative columnist and Web publisher Andrew Breitbart, who has a history of smearing progressives and making inflammatory statements.

You know I’d think Soros would get more for his money that this pap.

The left coaster calls for help:

Help Us, Obi Wan Pelosi!

You’re our only hope.

No that’s not a joke at least not an intentional one.

Crooks and Liars says it’s not journalism, of course as an MSNBC fan he might not have a clear definition of the term.

Update again: Another D & D fight surprised in my sleep but things are still going.

Powerline:

ACORN employee describes bankers who didn’t want to lend money to start a brothel as right-wingers. “If they were liberal, they’d be helping you,” she says. The entire encounter is surreal:

Rich Lowry of National Review:

The E. F. Hutton of Prostitution When ACORN talks, pimps and hookers listen.

Hugh Hewitt talks media:

Increasingly, though, the major divide is between those who report the news –like the ACORN scandals– and those who don’t.

Patterico:

Don’t miss this one

Rockwall County line asks a great question:

My question is, how did the film makers know what questions to ask? Did they have inside information from former workers who had left in disgust when they found out about the perversity of the place?

Chicago Boys answers it:

Since this is definitely far from the first time Acorn has enabled criminal activity, I feel certain that the journalist heard stories and decided to follow them up. Apparently, there has been deep suspicion about Acorn in the non-profit world for many years. No doubt the journalist started there.

I like the title of Small Dead Animals’ post:

But Glenn Beck Is The Crazy One

Update yet again: a few more before I head home.

Atlas Shrugs:

While we, the free of America, enjoyed the fruits of the fight, the toil, the bloody sacrifice of our fathers, grandfathers, founding fathers ………….the left set about to infiltrate our institutions and destroy this country from the inside. Rotting, decadent — lifting up the rock on the left in America.

Or they are just a bunch of crooks.

Pundit & Pundette notices something:

It’s 7:00 pm and there is almost no reporting on this by the mainstream media. One AP story from yesterday; the rest are FOX News and blogs.

Protein Wisdom is lucky she wasn’t drinking when he read Acorn’s press release:

UPDATE: [guffaw, snicker] San Berdo ACORN organizers claim Tresa Kaelke was afraid of O’Keefe and Giles … or was just joking … Take your pick of excuses.

Lucky for me I put down my water before reading the link.

Right Pundits have their priorities down:

More importantly, we get to see more shots of Hannah Giles strutting around like a hooker. Now that’s quality entertainment! I have a great idea for a “business” venture, let’s open an ACORN office and see if we can entice Miss. Giles to stop by and interview us!

I’ll be getting some Bikini pics hits from them.

Nice deb:

They wanted to see how corrupt ACORN was on the West coast.

They found out

Ace goes over the defense:

Because claiming to have shot your husband is a laugh riot, as is a sex ring featuring underage girls illegally in the country. Maybe it was just me but I didn’t get the sense that Tresa had such a wry sense of humor.

And we will end the day with HotAir’s quote of the day:

Former Acorn board members tell me the group has always been confident it will be protected. After the Nevada voter-registration fraud indictment last May, Bonnie Greathouse, Acorn’s chief organizer in the state, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that ‘we’ve had bad publicity before’ and survived. ‘People always come forward to our defense. We’re just community organizers, just like the president used to be.’”
