Did anyone notice on the Glenn Beck show yesterday when he was showing that video from California had a date imbedded in it showing august 2005.

I did not notice any date.

Wow, that would make Hannah like 16 years old.

Yes I did see that and have been wondering about that ever since. So far I haven't seen a word about it on Becks site either. I don't think Fox would be so stupid to air something like that unless they checked it out but hey it might happen.

I'm starting to think this whole thing is just a final straw play for us to not believe anyone or anything..... Like I've said for years here, nothing is as it seems to be in this world but Jesus.

The news about ACORN is getting around, even without the state run media :)

Schwarzenegger Wants ACORN Investigated

Governor Asks California Attorney General To Look Into Activities

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Raising the stakes involved in the scandal surrounding the anti-poverty group ACORN, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is urging a "full investigation" by California Attorney General Jerry Brown into ACORN's California activities.

The governor sent a letter Wednesday to Brown, referring to "news stories regarding the ACORN organization that have concerned me greatly."

ACORN stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The group has come under fire after employees were caught on tape giving tax advice to conservative operatives posing as prostitutes and pimps.

The most recent video surfaced this week in San Bernardino and has been used extensively by Fox News and conservative Web sites.

"You can hear on the tape, the ACORN worker offering advice as to how to lie, how to claim that the house is a business, not a brothel," KTKZ talk show host Eric Hogue said Wednesday on his radio broadcast in Sacramento.

Callers weighed in, one saying, "It just makes me sick."

At ACORN's Sacramento offices on Florin Road, a worker who answered the door said she couldn't answer questions. Ronald Coleman, ACORN's legislative director in Sacramento, later confirmed that tax and mortgage services were being suspended for now.

"This is not how we should handle ourselves. We need to take this time to re-evaluate," Coleman said.

Bertha Lewis, ACORN's chief executive officer, called the action of the workers in the video "indefensible" and said an independent review would be launched.

It's unclear just how much federal money goes to ACORN in California. The state Department of Housing and Community development said it had no records of any state grants being awarded to ACORN.

The Sacramento ACORN office's budget is $300,000, according to state field director Christina Livingston. Many of those funds come from membership and fundraising, she said.

Outside the Sacramento office, Ruby Bradley said she was highly skeptical of the organization. She said she once applied for help with a housing loan with ACORN, but never got a response.

"I think it was poor business," Bradley said.

That complaint was echoed by Demario Anthony of Sacramento, who said his aunt's application was ignored.

"She stopped dealing with them," Anthony said. "We asked what happened, and she said she didn't want to talk about it."

Well, if you listen to the interview, at one point the woman mentions President Obama. I doubt very seriously she'd be saying this in 2005. :)

I think they just didn't set the date or set it right or something like that.

After the authorities checked on what she said, they found that none of the woman's husbands were actually dead. Obviously FOX is that stupid.

I don't know - that woman seemed a bit . . . foggy (?).

I meant to say her husbands were NOT actually dead. She claims she made it all up because she was knew something was off.

Or...she wanted to come across as being at their level....after all, she thought they were a pimp and prostitute. :emot-hug:

I just watched another video, it appears as if the calendar and clock are incorrect...this may have been done purposefully, but thats just a guess.

I know what you meant to say. What I meant was that something about her wasn't' - shall we say - normal.

She claims she made it all up because she was knew something was off.

Let me see . . . she believes that something is off . . . so she makes up a story that she committed a felony - on top of assisting people in breaking the law . . . and this somehow makes sense to you. . . ?

Either way, Foxnews should have checked the facts before airing the story.

Hey - if she lied, the untruth is on her head - not Fox's.

What kind of person brags about committing murder when they didn't?

Glen Beck has already lost 60% of his advertisers. I imagine he was hoping this ACORN story would help things.

Assigning motives? Can prove or support your claim that this is his motive?
