I have fast become a great fan of Glenn Beck's T.V. show on the Fox News Channel. How refreshing it is to see this man have the freedom of speech rights as a news analyst (who is also very funny and entertaining, I might add) to discuss the things that many Americans want to hear about - but is either being muzzled or ignored by the rest of the Lamestream Media pundits.
Beck's shows are power-packed with information that the rest of the media refuses to report. I record it each day so that I don't miss one show. It also helps to be able to rewind and view again when blogging about an issue!
Today's show [Nice Deb has the videos!]
is one that must not be missed! Glenn will have seven of the eight former ACORN board members who, up until now, have not been given any platform to tell their stories about their former involvement with ACORN. During Glenn's show, we will get the inside story (that others don't seem to want to touch with a ten foot pole!) and they will have the chance to express their opinions, concerns, and reasons why they believe that this organization has been highly corrupted.
Yesterday, Kevin Mooney of the Washington Examiner was a guest on Glenn's show. He reiterated the fact that ACORN has nefarious ties to SEIU. Mooney also reported that after his story came out in the newspaper, the SEIU took down their online link to ACORN. Hmmm....
Glenn is right! There is MUCH MORE CORRUPTION going on with these groups than has already been revealed by the lawsuits against ACORN in twelve states for voter registration fraud.. And, the fact that Obama was once a prominent "community organizer" involved with ACORN for years, it will be interesting to see what the former ACORN employees have to say about the time when ACORN changed from being a good organization into its current highly corrupted management.
During Wednesday's broadcast, Glenn pointed out that we didn't elect a president - we elected a community organizer who is now involved with the greatest power grab that this nation has ever seen! Obama wants to control - well - just about EVERYTHING through government.
NOT GOOD!!!
I think that we might find out much more about the intimidation methods of "community organizing" and the Chicago "pay to play" and "corruption" methods than we ever dreamed existed!! It will start with the information that the ACORN seven will share on Glenn's show today.
There was much more important information that Glenn covered on yesterday's show - i.e. the Montana ruling for states' rights, and the reason why the latest "stress test" was made public (think Alinsky rules for radicals and "community organizer" style politics for a hint) while the normal FDIC stress tests are never made public. But they are topics for another day. Or, see my sidebar because many bloggers are discussing them.
I want to focus on just a very short incident that Glenn shared while he was attending the Time magazine "most important people - or something like that" dinner. He mentioned that everyone in the room probably hates him. Well, if you ever see Olberdummy mock Mr. Beck, then you would not blame him for thinking that way.
While sitting at a table of reporters who most likely hate his guts, Glenn said (paraphrased here) - 'I know that we don't see eye to eye on most issues. But I'd like to ask a question. Has anyone here really thought about what our nation will look like four years from now with all of the spending that is going on in our government?'
One woman thought about it and said, (again, paraphrased here) 'No I haven't. I think that perhaps we should.'
Yeah...I think that perhaps EVERYONE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF SADDLING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF DEBT ON OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN!!!
Stay tuned for an update after the show broadcasts today.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE!
I was just listening to the very end of Glenn Beck's radio program and guess what? The appearance of the ACORN seven is now down to TWO! Glenn made some excuse about the cost of "last minute airfare" (since when has THAT EVER BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A NEWS ORGANIZATION???)
BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK??
THOSE PEOPLE WERE MOST LIKELY THREATENED BY THE EXISTING ACORN THUGS!!!
BRAVO FOR THE ONES WHO WOULD NOT ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE INTIMIDATED OR COWED INTO NOT REVEALING THEIR STORIES!!!
*******
Update: Well, I watched the show and the two brave women who had their say despite the threats shared some powerful information! I will try to locate the youtube videos of the segment and post them here. It is better for readers to see the entire broadcast segment. Then you can make up your own minds about what (and just whom) is behind all of the corruption.
Isn't it odd that John Conyers dropped his call for an investigation into ACORN?
Hmmm...
One of the ladies on the show mentioned that Gerald Nadler was against it and pressured Conyers into dropping the investigation.
Hmmm....
I wonder who else pressured Conyers to shut up??
Keep an eye on this developing story. This is only the beginning - folks.
P.S. Oh yeah!! I can't forget this part. At the very end of Glenn's show, he stated that the hate mail was coming in at an alarming rate. But not only against him - against the women for speaking out!! No surprise there...huh???
Glenn asked for us to pray for their safety. I have and will continue to do so.
However, I think that is the other five had shown up and millions of Americans had heard their stories, too, that they would be more protected due to the fact that they DID speak out - even when threatened (both before and after the show) by the "powers that be." There is something to be said for safety in numbers...in this case - safety in the number of people who now know the truth about corrupt ACORN!!!
