i thought this banner ad on the site was funnier:


OH NOES HEALTHCARE EVERYBODY PANIC

Did someone spike the irony tag too?

Hmmm. There seems to be a gap on the tape, as discussed in the article. This doesn't look good by any stretch, but I'd like to hear the explanation for the gap.

I hope the investigation into ACORN continues and we'll finally be able to see what the hell these people have been up to.

IMPEACH HIM!

Oh for fark's sake. Enough with the ACORN bullshiat. You guys are talking out of your asses.

Site is blocked at work.

Summary anyone? What do they mean by "spiking a story"

JusticeandIndependence: What do they mean by "spiking a story"shiatcanning it.

Why don't you just go ahead and admit you work for them?

sepuku2: Why don't you just go ahead and admit you work for them?

no shiat.

JusticeandIndependence: Site is blocked at work.

Ready?

So basically the world's most biased "news" station (Fox) has the bloviator in chief (O'Reilly) play a tape in which some words are redacted where a reporter intimates that a story was shiat canned for political reasons. The New York Times flatly denies the accusation.

The Bill O'Reilly talks to known Democratic antagonist Dick Morris for 5 minutes and the two of them speculate about what dark secrets Acorn is hiding and the Morris accuses the Obama administration of illegal activity, without any evidence.

The ironies here are A) Fox News B) Bill O'rly C) Dick Morris D) making shiat up and E) assmitter's "Evidence mounts"

This is the best that Republicans got; 18 page glossy catch-phrases and empty speculation about the President.

So much for the party of Lincoln and Roosevelt.

timmy_the_tooth: The New York Times flatly denies the accusation.

Oh, then it's all settled.

I won't believe this story until I see the Hot Air author's birth certificate.

Oh no! Acorn is getting poor people to vote, THE HORROR.

A newspaper decides not to publish a smear story based on speculation to sway an election? And this is a bad thing?

radioshack: timmy_the_tooth: The New York Times flatly denies the accusation.

What's was upset?

craftyy: A newspaper decides not to publish a smear story based on speculation to sway an election? And this is a bad thing?

What is it "The Truth has a well known liberal bias?"

Something like that.

Oh and you left off the part where a pissed off reporter is all "I take my orders from on high *wink wink nudge nudge knowwhatimean???"

sepuku2: Why don't you just go ahead and admit you work for them?

Why don't you admit that you don't know what in the hell you're talking about?

Agreed totally -- no matter what side of the political aisle you are on, let's see the truth.

That being said, the alleged redaction of part of the tape sure makes you go "hmmmm...."

KaponoFor3: Agreed totally -- no matter what side of the political aisle you are on, let's see the truth.

The whole thing makes sane people go "hmmmm...."

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING

NONE

That's not true. See there's this organization called ACORN and a black guy is president. What more could you possibly need?

Translated: "My editor realized that we would get sued for libel against a presidential candidate because we have no evidence to support the claims of this story."

Shocking.

Besides turning in invalid and fraudulent voter registration (which they were legally bound to turn it, even if they thought [and told election officials] they were fraudulent), what exactly did ACORN do? What was its big crime? What are they saying it accomplished in undermining democracy, besides just being the big ACORN-shaped boogeyman?

Yep. The "sources" here have zero credibility. There's a reason the big bad mainstream media isn't talking about this one.
/because they're LIBS LIBS LIBS LIBS LIBS?!
//no, you idiots

Barbigazi:

Hopey McChange?

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO SILENCE THE TROOF!

Remember what happened to Dan Rather (pop)?

Remember how angry the Right was then?

People were linking Obama to ACORN regardless. And this "smoking gun" is a bit on the wispy side. Yes, the voicemail sounds fishy. But what "ties" to ACORN were they supposedly burying, that were any worse than what people already believed during the campaign?

timmy_the_tooth: The whole thing makes sane people go "hmmmm...."

And it makes insane people go "hmmm... there's gotta be something to this acorn deal"

Granted I can't hear the voice mail because the site is blocked at work.

BUT, how is a single voice mail evidence?

JusticeandIndependence: BUT, how is a single voice mail evidence?

In the same way that a single book is evidence for God, silly.

JusticeandIndependence: BUT, how is a single voice mail evidence?

Guess you weren't around when Tricky Dick had to pack up and leave because of a few missing minutes of tape.

pandabear: JusticeandIndependence: BUT, how is a single voice mail evidence?

No, he resigned because if he hadn't he would have been impeached for fundamentally undermining American democracy by wiretapping American citizens without a warrant, political espionage, break ins, and money laundering.

The tapes were his lame ass attempt to cover up some stuff.

There's a reason that Ford pardoned him, ya know.

KaponoFor3: That being said, the alleged redaction of part of the tape sure makes you go "hmmmm...."

That's the section of the tape where Michelle Obama says "whitey"

ACORN adjusted the color balance on my TV so that everyone looks kind of green now.

I hate those bastards.

Barbigazi: Remember what happened to Dan Rather (pop)?

Remember how angry the Right was then?

CBS passing off a blatant forgery as truth was what provoked the anger

Bah! The NYT can choose to print or not print a story whenever they so choose. BFD.

This Acorn story is nothing but a joak.

albo: Barbigazi: Remember what happened to Dan Rather (pop)?

They ran a suspect story based on flimsy evidence NYT didn't.

If Dick Morris says it, it's GOTTA be true.

Weren't there accusations about the Times spiking stories for Bush as well? I remember more than this one (new window), but that's just the first hit.

That would be interesting if ACORN actually was corrupt in any meaningful way. It isn't a 100% perfect organization, so it must be corrupt, I guess.

But these are the people who think of big businessmen as our saviors. . .

FloydA: I won't believe this story until I see the Hot Air author's birth certificate.

I was expecting a birth certificate green next, not an ACORN one.

I'm starting to see why they got $48 Billion of the taxpayers money in the stimulus bill now

palladiate: Weren't there accusations about the Times spiking stories for Bush as well? I remember more than this one (new window), but that's just the first hit.

Only in the run up to the war in Iraq. Which I'm sure the Independents are aghast about.

ACORN killed my family.

/and then registered them to vote multiple times

He was smoking weed?

Even if they did it still doesn't make up for unquestioningly printing the neocon's propaganda and lies leading up to the Iraq Invasion.

Farking HotAir. HE WAS NOT EVEN BORN IN THIS COUNTRY!
