The recent video of the phony pimp and hooker who enter an Acorn office and received tacit approval to defraud the IRS has left me speechless. Since I cannot use the spoken word, I'll try to put my thoughts on computer screen. This has to be one of the most ludicrous things I've ever seen. A thin, pale honky kid comes into the office dressed as an actual pimp. He's got a sequined robe and a cane for gods sake. And he looks like he's in his mid 20's. But wait, he's actually some kind of Michael Moore Republican filmmaker activist. The "hooker" has her ass hanging out in these spandex shorts. And I love the plastic mammoth loop earrings. They neglect to show her face but I'm sure she had a sufficient coating of rouge.
The pimp proudly explains to the Acorn rep (a black woman in her 40's) that he has a dozen Central American girls on his payroll. I like the illegal immigrant insinuation - nice touch. Then he proudly extols, "Some of them are underage!" Then, like most pimps, he wants to acquire a better understanding of his tax obligations to the IRS. The seemingly amused woman informs him that he "probably shouldn't make an issue of it and it might be wise to avoid reporting all this extra income on his tax returns."
ENTER FOX NEWS...
Here is pure, verifiable truth that Acorn is a corrupt organization and they are actively engaged in trying to rip off the US government. Apparently, this is their "gotcha" moment and they're going to use it to dismantle Acorn. Acorn supports underage prostitution rings! Those bastards! Our hard earned tax dollars are being used to support teen prostitution. Beck, Hannity and O'Reilly are going to have a field day with this one! Limbaugh will probably have to go back on oxycontin.
The incident is eerily reminiscent of the deranged artist who submerged a cross in a jar of urine. I think it happened in the early 90's. Basically, you take one moron and use him/her as a poster child to damn an entire organization or political movement. In one fell swoop, this idiot managed to accidentally galvanize all of the churchies in America. Basically, this guy metaphorically urinated on every flag waving, social conservative Republican. After all, the National Endowment for the Arts was supported with taxpayer dollars, so in effect, the government was funding and advocating this disgusting, immoral artwork. I think it was the infamous Senator Jesse Helms who led the charge. The same man who claimed that it's impossible for a female rape victim to get pregnant because "the juices just aren't flowing."
What's both sad and amusing is that the whole Acorn incident was a set-up. The Acorn worker recognizes the degree of absurdity and seems to be playing along. The notion that Fox News would use this fugazi nonsense is borderline insane. The producers at Fox obviously believe this story has a degree of credibility. But it's more likely they think the majority of their viewers will find the story newsworthy. This speaks volumes about how they perceive their viewership and their collective abilities to dissect and ingest the daily news. At least the outcry over the urine crucifix was grounded in reality.

Anonymous - Your decision to use the term "bone head cum face" made my day. I tend to embrace these things. Like when someone steps in my line on the putting green. You incorporate the negativity and move forward.
Honestly though, this Acorn saga is all meaningless wedge issue/distraction politics. I think Acorn gets something like 50 million a year from the govt. - a drop in the bucket. McCain used the "3 million dollars a year to fund genetic testing of bears in South Dakota???" constantly during his campaign. Such wasteful govt. spending! So appalling!
You can find these minor spending blips all through the U.S. government. I just think it's funny that Fox endlessly rails ON AND ON about Acorn.
Makes for a great sound byte to enrage the Republican base but has no real substance. Fox should stick with the fiscal responsibility themes (bank bailouts, AIG fiasco, etc.). Of course this stuff emerged during the reign of Bush Jr., so it's a lot easier to just stick with the easy shit - Fascist Obama funds teen prostitution ring! Right On!
Well Saf I must say that I agree that FOX does go on and on and on about ACORN, but I must say that there are very real concerns about this administration and the amount of money they are spending with coninued promises of not increasing our taxes. Also I do feel that as far as foreign policy issues go, there is a concern of weakness on the part of the new president. I like the president, I just have REAL concerns. Also I am really tired of being called a racist everytime there is disagreement with Obama policy.
ps love ya, you crazy bone head cum face :)

Tell that to the Pirates.
"Obama is perceived as weak on foreign policy" - Depends entirely on your perspective.
If you truly believe that the invasion and occupation of Iraq was a success or a noble, just cause. That our military saved the people of Iraq. That Bush acted out of benevolence to free the oppressed population of Iraq. That the US should be the dominant and unilateral force. That the US military should be used to end tyranny and unruly thrid world dictatorships.
Then yes, I can see why you would think that Obama is weak on foreign policy.
