Anybody watching the ACORN/SEIU videos on Youtube?

You have to watch them for a while (3 seconds?) until the pattern of intimidation and violence jumps out at you.

Chris Matthews would have you think that all the problems at Town Halls are being caused by inbred white racists:

Convenient, but untrue.

And here's another one from before the coronation, detailing ACORN registration hijinks, that just has to be seen to be believed:

Repeat after Austin, everybody ...

Video 1-- That was bullshit what that cop and ACORN folks were doing-- complete bullshit.

Video 2-- I didn't see anything particularly objectionable in this video, except that the people getting the petitions signed got annoyed with the people trying to disrupt their petition drive, which is understandable. I also found the use of "Blue Sky Mine" in the video, which is a pro-labor song by a socialist band to be highly ironic while the video producer is ranting against "socialism". Finally WFP is not an ACORN "affiliate", though they do often work together.

Video 3-- Let's see, I'm with a group of people loudly chanting and shouting people down, then the doors to a public meeting are closed and I'm outraged, OUTRAGED, that the organizers of the event close the doors so me and my groups can't shout people down inside and disrupt the meeting. Then I start bitching that it's a public meeting and how dare they interfere with my attempt to disrupt it, and I'm horrified when I say my angry, chanting protester buddies and I are "just there to listen", and the people guarding the doors think I might be less than truthful when I say that. Oh, the injustice of it all!

Video 4-- I still smell bullshit. As I said before, we don't know what happened before the video starts (and maybe SEIU did cause all the trouble and attack first as this Kenneth guy is claiming), but there was an SEIU guy on the ground at the beginning of the video and Kenneth was moving towards him-- this part of the events has been mysteriously left unexplained and unmentioned by both Ken and his attorney in every statement I've read by them. To listen to them, the ONLY people getting physical were SEIU folks, and the fact one of them was on the ground and being protected by his union brothers seems to suggest someone else had gotten physical at some point. That and the allegations being made against the union by the lawyer, insinuating that this altercation was part of an organized plan are uncorroborated, and mere speculation.

Video 5-- Ewwwwww! And ACORN does suck.

Yup, I ve watched these and many others. ACORN is a collection of tax-funded thugs. So how do you think the 2010 elections will go, given that the voter fraud and voter intimdations seen in the last election are not crimes in the eyes of our current leaders? Oh, and the next census which will determine our representation is also controlled by ACORN.

Personally, I think it will get ugly, very,very ugly.

yeah, that is rich.

kinda like they used to blast "born in the USA" over the PA system to get us fired up in the morning when i was at west point. "ummm...don't any of you guys realize that is an anti-war song?"
