foxnation_9-13 Dispatches From Fox Nation:

Last month The Fox Nation celebrated a “victory” over health care. Well break out the balloons and streamers, it’s time to celebrate another win! The headline: “FOX Nation Victory! Census Bureau Severs Ties With ACORN“. Here’s what happened:

The Nation post links back to a Foxnews.com story, reporting this:

The Census Director has sent a letter to the National Headquarters of ACORN notifying the group that the Census Bureau is severing all ties with the community organizing group for all work having to do with the 2010 census.

This comes in the wake of all those BigGovernment.com hidden camera videos of ACORN employees helping actors playing prostitutes and more.

Again, we’ll point out that although this is a an opinion arm of the Fox News digital properties, it still falls under the FNC umbrella. It counts toward Foxnews.com’s monthly page views, and features many columns by Fox News personalities. So claiming a “victory” here should raise some eyebrows. But let’s not rain on the Nation’s ACORN-free parade.

There were so many ridiculous reactions from the commenters, we had to include two favorites. Here’s how they celebrate at the Fox Nation. There was this poetic response from “Rebel”:

ACORN = (A) (C)riminal (O)rganization (R)uining the (N)ation. No wonder Barry Hussein Sotero Obama cut his teeth being a commie street agitator with this rotten slimebag outfit.

And “Jenney” apparently is focusing on Hondurus:

ACORN is the biggest pimp in the whole Country. Hopefully the director won’t get fired for being an ethical person. clinton and barack took 18 mil from the poor children of Honduras because Micheletti saved their Constitution from destruction by dictator chavez. clinton and barack are out to destroy anyone out standing in the way of communism. Leave Honduras alone.

When will The Fox Nation get another “victory”? Stay tuned.

The two idiots that pretended to be a pimp and a prostitute had went to several offices and were thrown out several times. They did’nt tell you that. The police were even called on them. Get the facts out there before printing these stories.

(Of course they just might be Idiots who probably can keep from confusing or combining their “haves” and “wents”.)

By the way, they not only weren’t thrown out, but were encouraged to break numerous laws, including aiding in child prostitution and tax fraud, along with other ways to defraud the government on at least three recorded occasions.

The fact the Census Bureau has cut all ties to ACORN should make it clear even those who hate Fox News and all things conservative that this smoke does, indeed, signal a fairly major fire.

The facts are out there, friend.

ACORN is now threatening to sue Fox. Let it try. The discovery process — ACORN has consistently refused even pleas from its own board members for an outside audit — should be great fun.

cmdrgmh,
Could you please provide us with a link, video or other facts that support your statement that they “had went to several offices and were thrown out several times”? Please tell us what you’re basing this statement on.
I’d love to see the source before commenting on your post. Thanks.

If there is a standard that an entire network can be branded with the comments of a “fan,” because a website “features many columns by [network] personalities” (as was stated in this article), can you please link me to the articles criticizing MSNBC’s alliance with the Daily KOS, where Keith Olbermann blogs. Does that mean KOS’s “victories” are also MSNBC’s?

Greenhaven, the “film makers” themselves admit they went to multiple offices before they got the footage they need from Baltimore, DC and NYC.

As far as the cops being called on them, I had not heard that and have no idea if it’s true.
