Confession of a "former escort" killing her husband? I suppose you could call that a pattern.

From the freelancers scooping ACORN, or the (magically missing) ones from ACORN about the people wanting to set up a prostitution ring in the various cities? Yup...hearts'o'GOLD, those ACORN people. QuoteConfession of a "former escort" killing her husband? That's the one that that the Fox people said that they hadn't confirmed, right? How about the ACORN manager that got on TV saying she threw them out, then the next tape has her in a 20 minute interview with them. QuoteI suppose you could call that a pattern.

Yup...hearts'o'GOLD, those ACORN people.Quote The one in Philadelphia that called the police after they left. QuoteConfession of a "former escort" killing her husband? That's the one that that the Fox people said that they hadn't confirmed, right? That's my beef with FOX. They have a tendency to report on things that aren't confirmed...over...and over...and over and over again. Something about "say it often enough and..." It's a interesting contrast now that I think about it. CBS reports something that's factually accurate yet from a lousy source. They get raked over the coals. FOX reports something that's factually inaccurate. They get good ratings. Quote How about the ACORN manager that got on TV saying she threw them out, then the next tape has her in a 20 minute interview with them. That wasn't the same one that called the police on them was it? I really don't know. I didn't pay that much attention to all the coverage. Regardless, ACORN has what....1200 offices in 40 states or so? And a few employees screwed up and got fired? Hell, our Congress doesn't have a record that good.
