Megyn “Tyrannosaurus Rex” Kelly interviews ACORN founder Wade Rathke! (H/T Nice Deb)
(This was original in 6 clips, but they were removed. Now the first video lets you click on to the second part at any time!)
Part one explores how ACORN’s goals are centered on increasing the number of welfare recipients, and making them politically active in order to pass more welfare programs. ACORN’s motto is discusses, which explicitly mentions redistributing wealth (socialism).
Part Two talks about the Community Reinvestment Act, which forces banks to make loans to people who can’t afford them. Also discusses ACORN’s support for higher minimum wage rates, which causes unemployment among the poor, and increases welfare rolls. ACORN also supports unions and also intimidates businesses to pay them money or be “protested”. ACORN’s close, long-term relationship with Obama is discussed.
Part Three explores the funding of ACORN, and the way that organizations linked to ACORN advocate for political causes. ACORN’s links to SEIU are also discussed in this episode. ACORN’s financial scandals, including embezzlement of funds by the founder’s brother, are also discussed. (No, he was NOT fired!)
Part Four talks about ACORN’s efforts to register voters in areas where voters vote mostly Democrat. The problem is that ACORN is now charged with voter fraud for turning in fraudulent voter registrations. Details about some of the trials going on right now are discussed.
Part Five explains how Democrat politicians block investigations of ACORN. ACORN is accused of being a criminal enterprise from the ground up. The new sting videos are from O’Keefe and Giles showing ACORN encouraging criminal activity are discussed.
Part Six shows the founder of ACORN and the current CEO spinning the findings from the previous episodes, taking no responsibility. The founder calls the videos “scurrilous”. ACORN is the victim, don’t you see? The series concludes by noting that ACORN has opened offices in several countries, including India.
I also note for our Canadian readers that ACORN International has opened offices in Toronto and Vancouver. It’s global communism.

I’m probably going to have to go to confession after saying this about a married woman who just gave birth but Megyn Kelly is very hot.
And – sheesh! – returning to work after 1 week maternity leave? She’s also very studly.

Oh, yes, Megyn Kelly is super hot. There is no doubt about that. My concern is that I do not know her views on fiscal conservatism, social conservatism or foreign policy, as well as her views on Christian apologetics… so I can’t really get excited about her.
I like her skills and the way she attacks hypocrites on the left. I also am not thrilled about the idea of returning to work at all when there are children that need to be raised. Strangers can’t do as good of a job as the child’s mother.
But what does she stand for? Is she as passionate on things like traditional marriage, pro-life advocacy, small government and vouchers? This is why I like Bachmann a million times more – she has all the right views and does know about apologetics at least to the minimal level of Ravi Zacharias.
If I could choose to spend lunch with one or the other, I would choose Bachmann – I want to give her lots of compliments. She homeschooled, had 5 natural children, and 23 foster children. Now that’s balance. She knows that children need to have a qualified specialist (i.e. – MOM) in the home.
