Good for these two individuals shedding light on such a corrupt organization as Acorn. More needs to be done to get rid of Acorn altogether.

I applaud these two young people taking an interest in helping society, unlike most of us who continue to complain and belittle others and not put action into our words in a useful/productive/positive manner.

So to those of you who continue to rant about people being racist, that excuse is getting a bit old, don’t you think? Or perhaps you don’t think at all… Food for thought.

Truth looks you in the eyes and people tend not to be able to take it, a bit true in this case.

Great job Hannah…you showed OBAMAS ACCORNS for the slime that they really are…He gave them a ton of money andpromised them a seat in his government…Now he shuts his big mouth whenever ACORN is mentioned. What a fake..as bad as some of those Republican hypocrites like Foley and Lary Craig…. Thank you to FOX for doing some investigative reporting …most of the rest, like MSNBC just keep on chanting for Obama and telling us how crazy we are if we arent in the Obama lovefest…they are sickening..tune them out and CNN too !!!

I’m black and I’m offended by the first comment by Chris Gordon. ACORN wasn’t helping minorities. They were helping themselves… to government funding to line their own pockets. These kids did a good thing and should be recognized for doing so. Corruption should be exposed regardless of which party it comes from.

If you people —-who keep bashing Haaanh Giles and Glen Beck ect —had any brains you’d realize they are doing you a favor- EXPOSING the TRUTH !!! Somthing that most news outlets these days refuse to do…. They all want to paint a picture of a happy America and claim that now that we have Obama everything Is wonderful.. look around you… what do you see ? since the Democrats took over in Congress and refused to impeach Bush things have gotten worse….Bush is gone now- good riddens ,..but singing Kumbaya nad refusing to look at the radical agenda Obama is trying to force on us is not realistic. He taught those Acorn workers..he was their LAWYER…dont think he isnt aware fo their scams and lies because he has many of his own- currently sealed – but they cannot stay hidden forever.

What ACORN did was not a crime. ACORN never housed a prostitute. When these two sting artists taped ACORN without their consent THEY were the ones who committed the crime. Now they’ll be hit with a big fat lawsuit and we’ll find out who really funded their little escapade.

A couple of questions about what Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe were doing. Who gave them the idea to do this in the first place? Who paid for them to be able do this? Who dreamed up their stories? Your bring 12 underage girls in to the country and you do not know where or when they are coming. She could not answer what she got for the last weekend off the top of her head. I just can not believe they were not laughed out of the office. If their are people who work of ACORN who believed these two, what the heck are you all worried about.

Lidia,

If Obama actually is a racist, which would require him to be a self-hater, I guess that makes it okay for you to make those stupid racist comments like you did?

Every organization (public or private) has some form of corruption. ACORN is no worse than the others. Someone should get a 10-yr old church going boy (armed with video cam) to visit her father and see what entertainment ensues.

Folks are right – it isn’t black/white, left/right, liberal/conservative, republican/democrat – corruption is corruption (just like hate is hate) and it pervades all segments of society. So stop turning this into another reason to hate Obama.

Hey, I’m a Democrat but if ACORN didn’t respond to these young peoples antics then they would have nothing to worry about. Good for these two, and the nation as a whole, for exposing the unsavory side of an organization that receives public funds, no matter what side of the aisle it’s coming from.

I am not even sure exactly what ACORN does, besides the fact that Glenn Beck constantly rails against them. I think they are blown WAY out of proportion just like 90% of the other stuff FOX News and DittoHeads are constantly complaining about.

That’s their right to be stupid, just like it was the right of stupid liberals to blame Bush for every single thing bad that happened from 2000 to 2008.

Anything run by the government is corrupt! The people that are getting help, should’nt be! How many babies are my taxes paying for because all the “baby momma’s” have several kids all by different “baby daddys”! And the only reason Obama keeps grouping hispanics with blacks is to get the Hispanic vote!It’s so obvious, but everyone is afraid to say it, because they will be called a racist! Pathetic!

President Barack Obama, seeking to make a case for health-insurance regulation, told a poignant story to a joint session of Congress last week. An Illinois man getting chemotherapy was dropped from his insurance plan when his insurer discovered an unreported gallstone the patient hadn’t known about.

“They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it,” the president said in the nationally televised address.

In fact, the man, Otto S. Raddatz, didn’t die because the insurance company rescinded his coverage once he became ill, an act known as recission. The efforts of his sister and the office of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan got Mr. Raddatz’s policy reinstated within three weeks of his April 2005 rescission and secured a life-extending stem-cell transplant for him. Mr. Raddatz died this year, nearly four years after the insurance showdown.

Obama aides say the president got the essence of the story correct.–WSJ

You people ragging on the Post for being late to the game are missing the point. The girl in the story is from South Florida, so it’s a “local” story now. Now real news agency bothered to carry the ACORN story until a couple days ago either.

Welcome to the game Palm Beach Post lol. This story is over a week old. I guess the forum on racial profiling was much more important than millions of tax dollars going to a corrupt organization. I wonder if this story would of been covered if it was a conservative organization? How do you guys call yourselves journalist!
