You’d think, since Oliver never seems to write about the topics they want to comment on, they’d just look elsewhere for a blogger who does.

Just goes to show, it’s impossible to overestimate just how low a.o. et al. will stoop. I should have learned my lesson by now.

People on the right will consistently through up the ACORN case as if millions of people or even one person was hurt by that fake, made up, make believe scenario of a pimp and prostitute trying to get over on the government, while REAL victims of the Catholic Church are pushed aside and hidden just for the Catholic Church can save face.

How come real child abuse(molestation in the Catholic Church) is being downed played or over shadowed by fake child abuse(fake pimp and prostitute in ACORN offices) by so many on the right?

I thought you guys had values.

Yes he is.

“The only story I ever heard about Acorn doing anything “untoward” was the Baltimore branch “Prostitution Sting” thing.’

There’s that MSM echo chamber thing again.

What the hell do you do for news that this crap is at the top of it? The only story I ever heard about Acorn doing anything “untoward” was the Baltimore branch “Prostitution Sting” thing. Do these idiots go to every single branch there is harrassing them? What the fuck point are they proving? Are they successfully demonstrating that ACORN is actually a child prostitution ring? Do you actually fucking believe that yourself?

They lied about Watergate
They lied about Iran-Contra
They lied about Whitewater
They lied about Iraq
They lied about Obama
They lied about death panels
They lie about Social Security
They lie about gays
They lie about Muslims
They lie period

If anyone is “playing the odds”, it’s me. Now go back to killing homosexuals, burning books, or whatever it is conservatives do besides lying and destroying the country.

I just think that this world would be better without pious, ignorant idiots running around. I’m similarly committed to the end of all religion, not just Catholicism.

Mambo do you feel as strongly about imprisoning the convicted pedaphile Roman Polanski FOREVER along with those involved in minimizing his punishment for buttfucking a 13 year old girl?

Who said anything about Roman Polanski?

To answer your question, perhaps I don’t feel “as strongly” about Polanski as I do the scandal with the Catholic Church. But that’s simply a difference of degree, and not of kind- many children have apparently been victimized by the Church, whereas all I know of Polanski is that it was one. But fuck yes I want Polanski thrown in prison.

Do you want him to also be subject to punishment dealt out by convicted criminals operating without any legal constraint?

Yes.

Given Mambo’s written statements advocating such things one shold give little weight to his ideas pertaining to the rule of law. He has placed himself in opposition to the foundations of our society.

AO, you’re just a good for nothing troll. You come on here, looking to reactions out of people by saying ridiculous things that you think make you sound smart. In actuality, you just wind up looking like an idiot. But sure, try and put forth the argument that child rapists shouldn’t be thrown into prison forever; try to make the argument that child rapists don’t deserve to get the piss kicked out of them in prison; try, ham-handedly, to catch me in a hypocritical moment.

You will fail, because that is what you do best on these boards. It’s almost like you enjoy it.

Every time the stingers have made an unverified statement, they’ve later proven them to be 100% accurate.

Every time ACORN has made an unverified statement, they’ve been proven to be 100% wrong.

Remember how ACORN said they were turned away at every other office besides Baltimore? Bullshit.

Remember how ACORN said they got nowhere in California? Bullshit.

Remember how ACORN said that they got nowhere in New York? Bullshit.

Just play the odds here, Zython. The stingers have released edited tapes before. ACORN then howls and says that the tapes don’t show what REALLY happened. Then, a little while later, the stingers release the unedited tape, and ACORN is proven liars once again.

That’s OK, though, Zython. After all, ACORN can’t be lying every time about everything, right? Sooner or later, they’ll have to be telling the truth.

Breitbart is a genius. He’s killing ACORN by the death of a thousand cuts, putting it out in drips and drabs, never letting the story completely fade away — and now he’s putting Jerry Brown and Eric Holder on the spot to do their jobs.

What Rex said.

Christ.

On the tape, right after the “Pimp” says they’re bringing underage girls into the country to work as whores? And the woman who clearly speaks on behalf of all ACORN employees that have ever existed says “No, That’s illegal.” This is help?

So once again, which part of helping establish whorehouses for underage girls wan’t true?

The entirety of it. And you know this. I mean you understand the whole thing was a set up, so these ACORN employees were “helping establish whorehouses” in exactly the same extant that James and “Kenya” are a Pimp and a Prostitute, which is to say not a goddam bit. So your entire point is based on what you know to be a lie.

But even if it weren’t, precisely what you’d have on that video tape would be two people giving tax advice to a pair of criminals. Not advice on how to commit their crimes, so to whatever extent they might be involved in a criminal enterprise at all is staggeringly minimal, since the non-specific nature of the info exchanged is what would have been provided in a pamphlet.

Ah, but they knew about it and didn’t notify the authorities. Well, presuming they thought they were serious (and you’ve seen photos of Pimpy McPimperson and ‘Kenya,’ how serious do you think people took them?) they ought have shared whatever information they had with authorities, but since they had none, no full names, no addresses, no nothing except that these two said they were going to set up a whorehouse, that might be seen as wasting the time of the police. They sought no further information, which is not the most virtuous thing to do, perhaps, but it is not criminal.

And even if it were, it would be these two people and not ACORN. Why implicate the company? Hell I bet they probably live in the same neighborhood as each other, why not accuse the homeowners association? Why not their church? Why not their stylist? Why accuse the company that then fired them for this incident of endorsing what they did?

Why, in short, are you asserting something that sits in direct contravention of every available fact?

Yeah, it’s a real shame they aren’t Muslim, or that would be OK by your standards.

Tell me, AO, where’s the unedited tape, and why hasn’t it been turned into the authorities?

But being anti-death penalty and being Catholic is debatable? Right, Frank?

Also, who died and made you the arbiter of what is and is not debatable with regard to peoples’ faith?

The man whose constant whining will one day save the world.

Let’s roll the tape, courtesy of the network you love to hate. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,548827,00.html

I’d call that help. So once again, which part of helping establish whorehouses for underage girls wan’t true?

Allow me to correct you.

You are wrong.

Even if loosely-defined tax advice constituted “helping establish whorehouses,” (and it doesn’t) and the two ACORN employees on tape spoke for the company (and they don’t) and they didn’t then contact the authorities about this (and they did) and weren’t then fired (and they were) then no, you’re still wrong. Not that it should matter, or keep you from repeating what you know to be false, but just so you know, you’re wrong. Utterly.

Also, far as I’m concerned, yes, Harshest possible penalty for Polanski. I’m sort of hearing you saying “those involved in minimizing his punishment” to mean the people who’ve worked with him begging for clemency, or even if not the term could mean those who prevented his extridition previously, whose hands may have been tied for legal reasons, but otherwise, yes. Polanski himself and anyone knowingly involved in the crime, harshest allowable penalty.

It seriously goddam amazes me how so simple a point as “Underage Rape Is Wrong” gets twisted into these semi-political “Oh you say that now but I bet you wouldnt if…” things. Here’s a handy guide to minimize confusion:

Rape by a Catholic Priest: Bad

Rape by a Protestant Priest: Bad

Rape by Roman Polanski: Bad

Rape by a teacher or day-care provider: Bad

Rape by some random person: Bad

Rape on a Tuesday: Bad

Rape on days that are not Tuesday: Bad

Rape in all cases: Hmmmmmmm… yeah I’m gonna say Bad on this one.

OK. You’re wrong and now you’re corrected.

Interesting that Mambo is dedicated to the destruction of the Catholic church and wants to go medieval on religious pedaphiles. Mambo do you feel as strongly about imprisoning the convicted pedaphile Roman Polanski FOREVER along with those involved in minimizing his punishment for buttfucking a 13 year old girl? Do you want him to also be subject to punishment dealt out by convicted criminals operating without any legal constraint? Given Mambo’s written statements advocating such things one shold give little weight to his ideas pertaining to the rule of law. He has placed himself in opposition to the foundations of our society.

But being Catholic and pro-child rape is fine and dandy, though, amirite, Frank?

Also, who died and made you the arbiter of what is and is not debatable with regard to peoples’ faith?

Frank, please point to a similar cover up of the same magnitude by a public school, day care center, or other denomination that chose to hide it’s pedofile members and protect them rather than protecting the children they harmed. You have my word that I will condemn it in the strongest words possible.
