    Limbaugh had an excellent point yesterday, that this is the kind of reporting 60 Minutes USED to do......

    No, they are reporting on it. You just ignore them because you are so biased.

    Embattled Van Jones Quits but Czar Debates Rage On
    By MICHAEL BURNHAM of Greenwire

    Candor and community activism vaulted Van Jones to the White House, but what were once seen as assets became liabilities amid the rough and rapid churn of the 24-hour cable-news cycle.

    Jones resigned over the Labor Day weekend as President Obama's special adviser for "green jobs, enterprise and innovation," after reports linked him to efforts several years ago suggesting a U.S. government role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

    This was a private endevour. Perhaps ACORN can file a lawsuit, but where would it go ?

    This is a great day in journalism. God bless these two young folks.

    Did they quote anything that he said? Did they expound on his radical past and his radical, communist agenda? Did they report on his philosophy of using the environmental movenment to lead the country into socialism? No, of course not. They ignored the story for weeks/months. Not even a mention until they recieved instructions from the Whitehouse.

    They waited to get marching orders from their boss at the Whitehouse, and then they dutifully marched in lockstep and printed exactly what they were told to print.

    They reported he had resigned. They reported he had made "controversial" statements. No details... just damage control for the Whitehouse.

    Wow!! What a great bunch of professional, unbiased journalists! :rolleyes:

    peace to you:praying:

    Third Videotape Reveals ACORN Assisting 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' in Brooklyn, N.Y.
    Monday, September 14, 2009

    Aug. 4: Two ACORN employees advise an independent filmmaker posing as a 'pimp' along with a woman acting as a prostitute.

    Days after the release of hidden-camera videos led to the firing of four ACORN workers in Baltimore and Washington who assisted an independent filmmaker posing as a pimp to apply for an illegal housing loan for a brothel, a third video has surfaced showing ACORN workers offering the same kind of assistance at the organization's office in Brooklyn, N.Y.

    As in their previous undercover stings, filmmaker James O'Keefe, 25, and partner Hannah Giles, 20, who posed as a prostitute, received advice from ACORN workers on how to launder their earnings and avoid detection from law enforcement officials while running a prostitution business.

    "You have to find another name for it," an ACORN employee tells the pair seeking a mortgage in the Brooklyn office. "Honesty is not going to get you the house. You can't say what you do for a living."

    Obama is an alumnus of ACORN! And they are still slated to get $8.5 billion under the porkulus bill. Probably payoff for all the votes they stole for democrats last year.

    ACORN is now claiming that they will sue for the "illegal" recording. They have backed off the libelous ploy because there is no doubt about the veracity of the second recording (and now a third!).

    I doubt that ACORN will actually do anything anyway because they would admit by default to the truth of the recordings. The matter would be magnified and protracted over the media.

    Drudge, Limbaugh, Hannity and Savage would have a field day every day they were in court as their dirty laundry was hung out to dry daily.

    Hopefully they will sue. That would open the process called "discovery" which would reveal all the dirty linen of ACORN, perhaps even Obama!

    Fourth Videotape Reveals ACORN Advising 'Pimp,' 'Prostitute' in California
    Tuesday, September 15, 2009

    ACORN staffer Tresa Kaelke advises a 'pimp' and 'prostitute' last month during an undercover taping by two filmmakers.

    A fourth video by an independent filmmaker posing as a pimp along with a purported prostitute has surfaced depicting an ACORN staffer in California assisting the couple in their quest to obtain housing for their illegal sex business.

    Much like in their previous undercover stings at the group's offices in Baltimore, Washington and Brooklyn, N.Y., filmmaker James O'Keefe, 25, and his 20-year-old partner Hannah Giles, who posed as a prostitute named "Eden," were given assistance on Aug. 17 from a staffer at ACORN's office in San Bernardino on how to avoid detection by law enforcement. The couple even tell ACORN staffer Tresa Kaelke — who admits on the videotape to previously having sex for money — that they plan on bringing in 12 girls from El Salvador to work in a home they hope to acquire via the community organization.

    "We're bringing these girls from overseas, but we are going to take a cut of the profit and intend to use the profit from the tricks the girls perform to fund my political campaign and the advertising," O'Keefe tells Kaelke, adding that it'll fund at least 50 percent of his planned run as a Democratic congressional candidate.
    Kaelke, who told the couple that she once worked as a paid escort herself, at one point admits she was unqualified to counsel but stops well short of reporting O'Keefe and Giles to authorities.

    Not because it is the truth, but because they were caught on tape.
