Big Dan's Big News Sep 19, 2009

This is just like astroturfing! The rightwingers do "sting operations" against only liberal groups they want defunded, and if they throw enough shit against the wall and something sticks, FOX "news" runs an out-of-proportion distorted infomercial for them!

So, is Rush Limbaugh, Jr. (young rightwinger James "pimp" O'Keefe posing in the ACORN videos), racist rightwinger Andrew Breitbart, and FOX "news" just going to keep doing "sting operations" against liberal organizations Republicans don't like, like ACORN, until the ASSHOLE Democrats vote to defund everything rightwingers hate? With the so-called "liberal media" NOT exposing what's going on? FOX "news" is now dictating what Obama and the Democrats do, and the so-called "liberal media" is a useless piece of shit!!!

Same Rush Limbaugh, Jr. "pimp" & FOX "news" posed pregnant teenagers to try and get Planned Parenthood defunded

Lila Rose and James "the pimp" O'Keefe, super-effective UCLA student pro-life activists & their Planned Parenthood "sting operations"

Now we know that Karl Rove spearheaded the firing of David Iglesias, the U.S. Attorney in New Mexico who refused to follow the Bush White House's orders to intimidate low-income voters (ACORN)by making false charges of "voter fraud.”

For many years the combined forces of the far right and the Republican Party have sought to ruin ACORN, the largest organization of poor and working families in America. Owing to the idiocy of a few ACORN employees, notoriously caught in a videotape "sting" sponsored by a conservative Web site and publicized by Fox News, that campaign has scored significant victories on Capitol Hill and in the media.

In defense of ACORN. The right-wing crusade against ACORN is a far bigger fraud than any misdeeds a few employees might have committed

Scumbag Andrew Breitbart Unleashes A Torrent Of Invective Against Sen. Ted Kennedy’s Legacy On Twitter

Michael Eric Dyson Schools Racist FOX "news" "expert" Andrew Breitbart on Real Time with Bill Maher. Breitbart makes sure every time he talks, he says "I used to be a liberal"



Objective journailism? Who are the "players" behind the ACORN/prostitution video? If you get your news from right-wing talk radio and Fox News, you probably think America is being overrun by a hyper-corrupt organized prostitution ring headquartered in the White House. Four videos were being promoted as unimpeachable proof that all of ACORN is equally corrupt -- all 1,200 chapters and hundreds of ACORN employees. It was the opposite of how a credible investigation is supposed to function, in which conclusions are withheld until after all the facts are in. By comparison, here, the conservative media had a few isolated facts but were willing to extrapolate an entire thesis from them. Have you ever seen the "liberal media" do a story on all the GOOD things ACORN does? Where is the "liberal media"s defense of ACORN, an activist organization of almost a made up of almost a half-million mostly poor people of color who campaign on behalf of poor people for things such as: Affordable Housing, Better Schools, Fair Housing, Fair Tax Fees, Foreclosures, Gulf Coast Recovery, Health Care, Immigration, Living Wage, Paid Sick Days, Predatory Lending, Utilities, and Voter Engagement? The total opposite of everything the Republicans stand for - THAT is why they hate them and endlessly smear them and try and take them down on the GOP's FOX "news"! Once again, another coincidence in a never-ending array of coincidences of people the right is attacking: ACORN is mostly made up of people of color!

The story at this point really has a lot more to do with Fox News and conservative media activism than with ACORN. The undercover videos first appeared on BigGovernment.com, founded by Andrew Breitbart, a protégé of Matt Drudge and a conservative with a long record of highly partisan and inflammatory statements. Giles, daughter of conservative blogger Doug Giles, attended the National Journalism Center in Washington, one of the many right-wing institutions conservatives have established to flood the field with young, motivated, and rabidly partisan "reporters." For his part, O'Keefe has been a far-right activist since college. "Obama is Van Jones, Obama is ACORN," right-wing pundit Monica Crowley said on Wednesday. "Just as he is ACORN, just as he is Van Jones, he is racism," Rush Limbaugh parroted the sentiment on Thursday. Radio host Jim Quinn said that we were all living in the "United States of ACORN," and Fox News' Megyn Kelly had Karl Rove on to talk about the tapes exposing what was now a "remarkable criminal enterprise. The New York Times covered up conservatives' well-documented ACORN obsession in its reporting. In their reports, all three network evening news broadcasts -- ABC's World News, NBC's Nightly News, and the CBS Evening News -- left out substantive facts about the incidents that mitigate the accusations, exonerate ACORN employees, or undermine the credibility of the filmmakers. Moreover, none reported that Fox News, in its aggressive promotion of this story, had made false accusations.

Breitbart has developed a direct line to Glenn Beck, and so it wasn't long before the videos were being presented breathlessly on his TV and radio programs. This week, following his 9/12 rally, Beck escalated the attacks over ACORN.

Including false claims such as:

- the conservative pimp/prostitute weren't thrown out of any offices
- an ACORN employee murdered her husband

Do you call all these conservatives "objective news journalists"? Is the "liberal media" pointing this out? NO! FOX "news" controls the "liberal media".

Media Matters: Fox News' incomplete, misleading ACORN coverage is just nuts

Network news largely silent on Fox News' role in hyping, distorting ACORN story; Networks ignore mitigating facts in their ACORN reporting; Networks ignore that Fox News repeatedly falsely reported ACORN employee killed her former husband; Only ABC acknowledges that Fox News played a role in promoting the videotapes



Police report filed by ACORN exposes false claims by individuals behind videos; Giles, O'Keefe, Breitbart, and Flynn each claimed every ACORN office the filmmakers visited was complicit; But Philadelphia ACORN office says it called police after O'Keefe asked suspicious questions

Above: copy of Philadelphia police report where Philadelphia ACORN threw out the FOXEY conservative pimp/prostitute

ANOTHER Falsehood in ACORN Attacks: Fox News, Andrew Breitbart face more questions about videos

Watch the FOXEY young conservative activist pimp and prostitute STUTTER AND STUMBLE as they LIE at the very end of this video @ 1:55 of this video below, the makings of a young Ann Coulter & Rush Limbaugh:
