Shameless “Mainstream Media” Scandal
I found with great amusement that Palm Beach Post published yesterday (Wednesday 9/16/2009) for the first time a so called “Breaking News” 
story and detailed the saga of a Florida International coed 20 year old Hanna Giles and 25 year old political activists James O’Keefe video sting on ACORN’s willing assistance in fraudulent house financing, counseling for tax evasion conspiracy, enable and counseling an illegal activity (prostitution) and facilitating the smuggling of illegal under age girls to be used in the sex trade business as prostitutes (sex trafficing) in numerous of their branch offices. This is a story that is 6 or 7 days old but the mainstream media has been conspicuously absent on the story.
At last the New York Times mentioned the story yesterday without any discussion or explanation of the merits of the story, but used their article as a battering ram against Conservatives ….. unbelievable. ACORN has now been stung in 5 separate cities and as I understand it there are quite a few more feet to fall on this matter. The initial response by ACORN was that it was “doctored” and was a vendetta and not based in reality, but today admitted (what else could they do) that this was unacceptable behavior. I have been calling for Obama to disavow this ACORN group, but like the mainstream he remained silent until AFTER his cover was provided by ACORN itself when they issuing a self-condemnation statement. A couple of days ago the Senate voted 83-7 to cut off ALL funding by the US Taxpayer to ACORN. I wonder where those coward 9 other Senators were when the vote was taken? Let’s see if
The thrust of the NY Times article was to complain that the “right” has been trying to draw a non-existent link between Obama and ACORN ever since the primaries. Since the NY Times has chosen to invoke this line of attack please allow me to set the record straight. That comment from the NY Times is a cheap attempt to disassociate Obama from ACORN and is itself a cover up such actual association. Obama’s association with Acorn is long and deep. Even in this last primary season, the Obama campaign paid ACORN $888,000 for campaign services. That’s right, Obama paid a “tax exempt organization” (for those of us in the professional tax industry that would be 501-c-3 non profit corporation) in order to assist in his campaign (under the gise of voter registration and we know how fraud laden that little operation was) especially after they came out and announced support for Obama. ANYWAY…….that is not just a single event, but he has had a long-term association with ACORN.
I am enclosing at the end of this post a copy of page one (Title Page) of the N. District of Illinois Civil Case Docket in an action by ACORN against CitiBank in 1994 with Obama serving as a Page One Lawyer in the 2nd position on the listing of Lawyers representing ACORN after he joined the recently granted “class action” status of the Buycks-Roberson v. CitiBank with his own cases against CitiBank that he filed himself. [FH-IL-0011-7500 | FH-IL-0011-7501 | FH-IL-0011-9000]. There are numerous other examples of continued close contact between Obama and ACORN over the years from training their employees to consulting. [It doesn’t seem his training of their employees was a very effective endeavor.] Not to mention that during the campaign Obama addressed ACORN in a speech (available on video for all to see) in which he promised that they (ACORN) would have a seat at the table (if he was elected President) in establishing policy for his administration.
For those of you new to Next Stop Lauderdale, Buycks-Roberson v. CitiBank was a landmark case against the banking industry by ACORN resulting in an “out of court” settlement that led to a chain reaction of events where the Democrats in Congress pursuaded Fannie May to re-write their loan standard downward (on the basis of “affordable housing”) and that became the first domino in the current housing crisis resulting in the subsequent current collapse of the banking industry and a national recession. For a full white paper exposing this story and the fact that Obama is probably the single most responsible politician connected to the current financial crisis and recession go HERE. (You can forget those protests of Obama himself as he asserts that he “inherited” this mess from Bush).
I would like to conclude by saying that these two brave kids Giles & O’Keefe are indeed the Woodward & Bernstein of this current generation. They are probably deserving of a Pulitzer Prize award for Investigative Reporting but don’t look forward to that since the vast majority of the 18 Board Members are from Liberal Mainstream Publications or Liberal Academic Institutions and these are the same crowd that selectively has chosen to ignore this story since it didn’t follow their own story line and bias.

Bill Clinton Praises Bush
According to NewsMax.com Bill Clinton in an extensive interview by Conde Naste Traveler has offered praise for a number of GW Bush initiatives during the second term. I am not aware of any editorial bias of Conde Naste, but predictably another media outlet has decided to omit this favorable reflection on Bush from their “print edition” but I am told you can find these comments it on their website. I am going to reprint in full this report as covered by NewsMax below for your evaluation. Maybe I am a bit cynical, but I just don’t believe that had Clinton panned Bush in total that this interview would have reached print edition. Look over what Bubba had to say below:
