Fox news claims occupy is funded by ACORN assholes committing fraud:
ACORN’s dead, dead, dead as a doornail. That asshole O’Keefe and that other asshole Breitbart (with plenty of help from spineless Congressional Democrats) saw to that. Fox is lying, as usual.
Not that I care one way or the other, but did you read the article? Fox agrees with you that ACORN is dead.
Yeah, what are you, a stupid liar? You can tell Fox agrees ACORN is dead because of this quote from an anonymous source:
Because the 40 bajillion mentions of “ex-ACORN” this and “former ACORN” that and “The former New York office for ACORN, the disbanded community activist group” in the article aren’t there. Well played, genius.
The implication is that ACORN is dead and the activists that used to form ACORN now exist under the guise of a different group. Glad I could do the math for you.
It is good to see the rightards are still scared to death of ACORN.
Yes, they are referring to former ACORN folks. Still, I don’t think a story that is reported only by FOX has any credibility.
I don’t necessarily disagree, but at least read and comprehend the frigging article.
Oh please, get over yourself. All the squishy lefties on this site do is snipe at the ‘right-wingtards’… or pubtards… or dumbfuckistan, or whatever. And no, I’m not a right winger, nor am I all that conservative. At least according to regular America - within the spectrum of this board, most of the posters here make Howard Dean look like Pat Buchanan, so maybe I would qualify as that.
I’m glad to see that meager efforts like tear gas are within your arsenal of reasonable responses. I would think that other non-lethal steps, yes including rubber bullets, are fine when the hippies and trust fund babies are throwing rocks, bottles, and hell, M-80s, at my troops. But you are entitled to your opinion.
I dunno. Didn’t they bust acorn all by themselves the last two times?
Of course ACORN is dead, but trying to pump up the ghost of ACORN bogeyman just shows the mendacity of FOX news.
Meanwhile, people that are not even related to the caricature of protester that was made by Breitbart and Fox are willing to protest even with the risks.

Who is the subject of the title of the article?
followup Q: is it in the present tense?
So the question is, did the modern-day rebels in Oakland have it coming? I see the NY Times, the lib’s bible, has updated their blog with the piece from the San Francisco Chronicle:
(emphasis mine)
This is what the defenders of these crybabies are saying is OK?
and
Are you suggesting that the police broke their own cruiser? Or are you ready to admit that the kids in Oakland were getting way out of hand and got what they had coming?
They made a mountain out of molehill, but even then the other news outlets were reporting the story, such as it was.
Really? You really want me to answer? OK Fine
- ACORN
- in the present tense
Quiz time over? Good.
Did you get that the headline was to grab your attention and get you to read the ACTUAL content of the article? Good.
Did you read the ACTUAL content of the article? Good.
Did you read the myriad mentions of the organization known as ACORN being non-existent in the present tense? No? How unfortunate.
Did you get that the article implied that ACORN is dead and the activists that used to form ACORN now exist under the guise of a different group (Goddamn, that sounds familiar) ? No? How unfortunate.
Again glad I could do the math for you.. and apparently a follow up pop quiz for good measure.
You know this little exercise kicked off with jayjay saying Fox was lying about ACORN, right? And you correcting him? And now you’re wondering how I could miss that the attention-grabbing headline and part of the article is actually contradicted by another part of the article, so obviously even though they said it, they can’t actually think it’s true.
You are correcting in the wrong direction.
Got to tell you, I have supported Obama up until he started playing poker with Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid during the debt ceiling talks. Basically, his last chance with me is make this American Jobs Act work. If he fails, I will support Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries.
In 2008 Obama came into office, controlled both houses of Congress, and added billions to the TARP - Wall Street Bail Out. Since that time have you seen **ANY **financial restructuring of America? Did anyone hold hearings on the Wall Street Bail Out? Did anyone go to jail? Main Street is broke, and Wall Street is rolling high again.
What has our treasured Democratic Party done for the average American? One thing, extend unemployment benefits when Americans are screaming for JOBS. Now you see why my avatar says, “feel politically homeless.” OWS is a about all we have, and big city mayors are f*ucking that up.

What a fascinating article! Man, have they ever got sources! Oodles of sources! Sources say this, sources say that. They even have direct verbatim quotes from sources. Talk about the gold standard of journalistic integrity!
So they got about fifty people getting ten bucks an hour? Somebody is spending $5,000 an hour to make it iook like maybe fifty people showed up? What?
But still, the old Fox is slipping, not quite on top of their game. For instance, this about the demise of ACORN:
The perfect opportunity to slip in a bit of innuendo, squandered. They could have just obliquely mentioned that the scandal had to do with child prostitution, but it slipped through their grasp. Just not up to their usual form. Of course, they would have to find a source…
Note that 50 x 10 = 500.
Only after Fox broke the story.
