You guys try and get underage 13 year old girls to be prostitutes and you want someone to believe anything you say? You are a very EVIL person. And we wonder why the cities are so screwed up. Look who’s running these cities. You need to be tried for murder and put in jail forever. And they blame white people for their problems. YEH RIGHT!!!! Another Van Jones desciple. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same ask this freckin witch+b.

POed Taxpayer   September 20th, 2009 - 7:37 pm

Cut and uproot ACORN and ALL it’s little organizations attached to it!!!

Investigate ALL of these leftist thieving sobs under RICO!!!!!

Go with the grilling! Nice job, Mr. Wallace!

ACORN must be done in…and thankfully, it is. Keep grinding these nuts ’til they’re gone for good: “CRUSHED NUTS: How ACORN Got Trampled by the ‘Racist’ Stampede” at http://firebreathingchristian.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/crushed-nuts-how-acorn-got-trampled-by-the-racist-horde/

All I can say to start is OMG! This has to be one of, if not, the most inept and ignorant CEO’s I have ever seen. She certainly did not help her case with that interview. Face it, 40 years, Acorn, good run. Sorry, I am not going to lose sleep over your demise!

palmeto   September 20th, 2009 - 8:21 pm

Nice outfit she was wearing. the female version of the powder blue tracksuit. This fool is running the criminal organization and could not answer one question without doing the democrap dance. They lie and if cornered will simply change the subject.
Have a good look America to what putting enept idiots in power means to our future. The midterms will not come fast enough for the normal people of this country. Its time to put the adults back in power again….

Taro   September 20th, 2009 - 8:39 pm

ACORN is a criminal organization, pure and simple. Go to Wikipedia and edit ACORN to state this fact. The ACORN criminals guard their entry jealously, so be vigilant and edit often. Revert revert revert! Remember, there are a lot of people who have never heard of the ACORN criminals, and they go to Wikipedia (God knows why) to “learn” what ACORN is about. Let them learn the truth by reading that “ACORN is a criminal organization.” You would expect no less from a description for the Gambini crime family.

It is not racist to demand the truth!

M@TO   September 20th, 2009 - 8:48 pm

Big Bertha knows it is over. She could not even look Darrell Issa in the eye when he was asking her questions. At this point, she is just trying to save face by evading questions (until Obama tells her to do different). Bye Bye Bertha! Bye Bye Acorn! Bye Bye Obama in 2012!

Craig Allen   September 20th, 2009 - 8:58 pm

***It is not racist to demand the truth***

It is if you demand truth of Al Sharpie, Jesse Jackson, Hussien Obammy, etc.

And it is racist to tell a person of color that WHITE is a color!

kadams   September 20th, 2009 - 9:10 pm

A most telling interview. ACORN is not subject to congressional oversight? They need to be defunded immediately.

joey   September 20th, 2009 - 9:31 pm

ACORN is goin’ down… the Democraps are goin’ down… AND THAT PIECE-OF-CRAP PREZ WE HAVE- THE NOBAMESSIAH- IS GOIN’DOWN!!!

HEADLINE:

Wallace grills acorn–many satisfied

To the CEO’s credit, she did what Obama would not, which is–namely–to appear on FOX, the only legit mainstream news source out there. Considering just how poor her position was, it is not surprising she came off badly.

If Obama vetoes the defunding, he can be assured that the electorate will send him packing in 2012.

roger   September 20th, 2009 - 10:18 pm

Obama, Didnt you sign the stimulas freaking bill?? Read what you sign, or are as dumb as Van Jones.
Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law. DId you ever her that from your mentor that you walked the streets of in chicago as Frank did???? (as in frank marshall davis)

Trent   September 20th, 2009 - 10:25 pm

Funding won’t necessarily be cut – Maxine Waters says the funding will be attached to another bill and admits is a typical GAME they play. In the House, I believe, they only cut PORTIONS of their funding. They are just waiting for you all to go back to drooling in front of the TV.

I IS AN ACORN   September 20th, 2009 - 10:29 pm

YEAH

Trent   September 20th, 2009 - 10:30 pm

LOL! So out-of-touch she is wearing a bath-robe on tv. Notice she throws in “White” at the end for cover. ACORN is a Black supremacist organization.

Trent   September 20th, 2009 - 10:34 pm

Why wasn’t ACORN SUPPORTING the community when it came to the Health Care crap that no one besides the Insurance Lobby and the commie Acorn members wants?

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   September 20th, 2009 - 10:37 pm

America…this is a cool cookie! She was careful, deliberate and evasive on many of the questions some of which she did not answer!

She is probably the “smartest” thing about ACORN! But even she won’t be able to save this illegal organization.

How did they get this way? They became too big to fail!

Gotcha! Take it away Glen! Literally…take it away Glen!

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!

CORRUPTION – CORRUPTION – CORRUPTION

ACORN is like a cancer.

It needs to be cut out completely.

Mish   September 20th, 2009 - 10:47 pm

EVERYTIME this woman is asked to “show the books” she quickly changes the subject or gives some lame “this is what ACORN does” speach. These people who wish we were a socialist country need to MOVE TO A SOCIALIST COUNTRY!! You all we seriously need to stand up and let our voices be heard! We need to DEMAND transparenty of our tax dollars, our representatives, our White House! I think we all need to boycott any place of business who plays CNN on their TVs for their customers!! We will make a statement to all these corps who support the dems.. because everywhere I go it’s CNN who is blantenly byast!

It Figures   September 20th, 2009 - 10:58 pm

I find it amazing that obama denied knowing anything about what’s going on at acorn.What a surprise!Did anyone else notice she NEVER made eye contact with Issa? Guilty people usually never do.

IS THAT A MUSLIM ROBE SHE IS SPORTING FOR THE VIEWING AUDIENCE?   September 20th, 2009 - 11:03 pm

HOW SPECIAL, NOT!

Rufus   September 20th, 2009 - 11:05 pm

Can anyone direct me to where I mights find that lovely chocolate mamma we see at 9:48? I think I see a KFC original recipe thigh that has fallen and gotten wedged in that beautiful cleavage. I think I am in heaven!

You stay aways from dem titties. Da leff one is mines, and racerx done likes to sucks on da rite one!!!!!

JanC   September 21st, 2009 - 12:23 am

All I can say is that affirmative action has gotten this country into a lot of trouble.

GREED DESTROYS...   September 21st, 2009 - 1:14 am

She did not answer ANY questions and would not even look at Issa. Somebody spent a lot of time and makeup on tring to make her look “palatable” (the pink blush-on was a nice touch)… But ACORN is DEAD… Sorry ’bout that, but you guys DID IT TO YOURSELVES. You had a good thing goin’ but GREED, as usual, toppled it.

PS TO ACORN:
Please name one good thing you’ve ever done for public schools, which is a stated goal on your website.

Her one-answer-serves-all response:
“POOR BLACK AND BROWN FOLKS, MY JOB, HIT THE GROUND RUNNIN’, MAKE SURE ALL IS IN ORDER, POOR BROWN, BLACK, ASIAN FOLKS, POOR FOLKS…”
(You get the drift…) (WORD SALAD, buzz words; that’s what these “NEW DEMOCRATS” consider “communicating.”)

checkit   September 21st, 2009 - 1:33 am

She dodged all the questions, refuses to open the books, ignored the congressmans questions and went around them. ACORN = C O R R U P T I O N

SHUT THEM DOWN! STOP ALL FEDERAL FUNDING! HAVE THE FBI & IRS INVESTIGATE THEM! This week, why is this taking so long? Is this all another game?

Dimitri   September 21st, 2009 - 2:24 am

I like how she tries to avoid his questions by not looking towards him at all.

Roger   September 21st, 2009 - 2:37 am

Do us a favor and use your powers Andrew Breitbart and cover and unfold the water crisis in california. We need your help. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,552081,00.html

Roger   September 21st, 2009 - 2:56 am

Im all for helping the inner cities. Id rather ACORN stay in business and have Stephen A. Smith run it. He will run it correctly and tell the truth.

Roger   September 21st, 2009 - 3:02 am

I know what the statement from the independent auditor is going to be. “Well, because of of Hurricane Katrina, all our records in New Orleans were damaged in the storm”

Cant quit laughing at her last statement “my job is to make sure kids dont get lead poisened”

Jynnipher   September 21st, 2009 - 3:43 am

What I found most disrespectful was that Miss Lewis would not look at Representative Issa (R – CA)when he was asking her a question. That was extremely rude. Who doesn’t look at someone as they ask a question to you? Only Miss Lewis, in my experience. I also don’t appreciated how she deflected questions and simply changed the topic. Shame on you – open up your books if you really believe you have no corruption.
All this tells me is that they are indeed corrupt and she knows it. On the flip side – I applaud for her showing up on Fox News to discuss the topic; God know obama didn’t have the balls to do so.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I noticed that too. She says things like ” The question you should be asking is this…..blah blah…..JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION!
No invitation to open the books, no invitation to be transparent, no invitation to prove they’re not corrupt….They lost the chance to get 8 billion so I know they’re upset but the question they failed to ask was …Bertha, Acorn was going to receive 8 billion dollars from the stiumlus could you please tell us what was that 8 billion going to be used for? She changed her tune from wanting to take Fox news and the boy and girl down. What are her motives? Why the change? Why even ask her “IF” they can do a investigation just do one. When investing corruption you just do it you don’t ask criminals “IF”they can be investigated! Just do it!

Terrance   September 21st, 2009 - 4:04 am

true we need to demand to know what the 8 billion dollars of stimulus money was going to be used for and we need to know Who was going to allot them this money and why they were? That question must asked of someone higher up. Bertha Lewis isn’t going to answer any questions especially that one. We need that answered first and foremost. Dig, dig, dig and dig deep. I want to know who approved this 8 billion for them? Glenn Beck please find this out for us.

———————————————————————-

Good question! With the money they receive they could offer health care to the poor people. This is a great question and I think someone should post this to one of the Fox news anchors. We know they receive millions but I am sure what we don’t know would shock us. We need to thank the kids who went under cover to expose them. These kids did us all a huge favor and one that cannot be denied. Bertha Lewis can act like she appreciates what these kids did but we know her initial response. It’s that initial response we need to keep in mind and continue forward to shut them down. Too many honest charities are out there who don’t mind you looking at their internal operations. Let’s give them the money for the good and quit giving Acorn money for the bad.

e_holl21   September 21st, 2009 - 4:34 am

Oh but Bertha, you and your organization are perfect……PERFECTLY CORRUPT!

ECHOING ROGER...   September 21st, 2009 - 4:34 am

Roger wrote, “Do us a favor and use your powers Andrew Breitbart and cover and unfold the water crisis in california.”

Echoing that request. It is UNBELIEVABLE and OUTRAGEOUS that the water has been turned off to farmers in California! Does the government expect Americans to buy our food from CHINA???? Haven’t they heard about the toxic pharmaceuticals and toxic canned foods from China??? God only knows what toxins and poisons would be in any FRESH PRODUCE we’d import from China! Don’t they know we have a research/depression going on, and this foolishness of turning the water off only makes it all worse for farmers and consumers alike?

TURN THE WATER BACK ON, IDIOTS!

Milli   September 21st, 2009 - 5:35 am

Watched the interview. She did not answer any question with a satisfactory answer. She evaded, would not look Issa in the eye, and made horrible little moves when Issa was speaking. Would love to see O’Reilly do a “body language” segment for her. ACORN is obama’s baby, can’t wait to see how all this turns out.

T Case   September 21st, 2009 - 5:46 am

Big Bertha is f ing black RACIST and that is why she wouldn’t look Issa in the eye. With the RATS in charge nothing will be done except our tax dollars will be wasted in in a frivolous investigation that will not yield any results. Big Bertha and her racist organization ACORN are going to investigate there own corruption… yeah Right. These people are pigs eating at the gov’t trough. These people and our gov’t are destroying this great country.

Disgusted   September 21st, 2009 - 5:53 am

Throughout this video ACORN CEO, Bertha Lewis, showed her animosity against Congressman Darrel Isa by not looking at him when he asked her a question or offered a suggestion. Her anger at his questions and suggestions was very evident by her facial expression that suggested “How DARE you QUESTION ME!” The anger was also evident when Bertha refused to look at or speak to Congressman Isa but instead faced Chris Matthews during the entire video and directed her statements only to Matthews.

While Congressman Isa was very polite, this woman was what normal people would call RUDE – the very attitude that Obama referred to in many of his speeches over the weekend as “RUDE.”

claspur   September 21st, 2009 - 7:05 am

She said that Her job was to make sure to be taking care of the 500,000 members. (”taking care”(meaning) with Our tax dollars, right Big Bertha?)
Hey Bertha… since when has any black organization ever helped/assisted any Asian community, as you said-here?(ask Al Sharpton if you can’t find an answer to that)(( search:The Nine Lives of Al Sharpton))

*Still want those Rathke brothers dragged-out of their holes, and chaired-up before congress.
They need to get located, and fully disclosed as-to what they are involved with… all their off-shoot organizations.

DA BEARRRS   September 21st, 2009 - 7:21 am

Lucky Eric Holder is AG, or they would be under a RICO indictment, since he has made it policy not to indict black criminals. But he will find the time to investigate Tea Party Express and indict them for being White On A Sunny Day.

Big Bertha   September 21st, 2009 - 7:30 am

I’m not exactly sure which one, but this Bertha lady is either Cedric the Entertainer or Bernie Mac in drag.

Go to The Washington Times and look at the interview Obamacorn gave Steffie Stephanopolis(sp), probably yesterday, as He says He wasn’t aware of how much ACORN was getting in taxpayer government funding. (be prepared to puke)

Steve   September 21st, 2009 - 8:09 am

They should have been investigated after the registration debockle. What took so long?

tom   September 21st, 2009 - 8:34 am

…where are the Rathke brothers? They started this whole mess in Arkansas years ago. If the had been Italian or Sicilian the RICO charges would have flown in on their own wings sans FBI help…….

rover   September 21st, 2009 - 8:36 am

Talk about poor representing your org. Big Bertha is a prime example. She is angry she is even there. You could read her body language. She never looked at the senator. She is disgusting just as is her org.

pepito timbales   September 21st, 2009 - 9:23 am

Have you noticed how this shyster ACORN CEO does not even look the congressman in the eye when he ask questions of her? That to me is a confirmation of criminal shenanigans. Besides she doesn’t even answer any questions from the host. She is so full of it!!!

BAN ACORN NOW!

CUT THEIR FUNDING NOW!!!

Commieobamie   September 21st, 2009 - 11:08 am

ACORN & Obama Professional standards:

1) Don’t get caught!

Davis Xeriatis   September 21st, 2009 - 6:02 pm

Bertha lewis ………….. whatta scumbag witch. And to think, she almost got her grubby hands on $8,000,000,000.00 of our tax money. Where do these criminals come from???

Birther Lewis   September 21st, 2009 - 6:34 pm

Missy Birtha ain’t got no worries bout getin dat govment money. Obammy done refused to say he’d be cuttin da fundin from Acorn. She knowd damn well dat he gots her back and she be cool. We jus let it all simmer down a lil bit and we be good!

Andi   September 21st, 2009 - 7:23 pm

Obama’s softball interview where he denies knowing anything about acorn proves nothing will be done. Why can’t the American people rise up and demand the dismantling of this criminal organization. A huge cesspool of corruption and he still has 3+years left. OMG we’re doomed and he loves sticking it to us. Helpless, I feel so helpless.

KBS   September 22nd, 2009 - 11:44 am

Did you notice how she couldn’t even look at the Congressman. She is a shady character just like the organization she works for.

ACORN MUST GO   September 22nd, 2009 - 6:47 pm

She never answered the questions and she never looked at that white boy that was axing them. Black people like her make me sick. I am ashamed of voting for Obama and this corrupt organization.

mb delaware   September 23rd, 2009 - 9:47 pm

I bet a dollar that not 1 damn thing will change and they will continue to get all the billions promised to them in the stimulus. I’d bet more but I need keep some money to pay the those awesome new taxes coming my way. Hopefully I’ll be left with a little CHANGE.

Ryan   September 23rd, 2009 - 9:52 pm

Does anyone believe that this woman actually calls any shots at ACORN? She’s an ignorant front for a shady board.

Tuesday   September 24th, 2009 - 8:59 pm

All of the above comments are on target.

Got that right, Ryan! Nobody believes this interviewee is calling the shots at ACORN! But she’s adept at sidestepping, and is very well-versed in not answering, the questions from Congressman Issa and Chris Wallace. Why did she agree to appear in the program in the first place? She is a perfect example of what an ACORN employee is like. Evasive. Focused. Focused on evading answers that might incriminate her and ACORN further!

Has anyone looked at their website and confirmed that they really hired an independent auditor last Monday?

Hurely   September 25th, 2009 - 4:50 am

Independent auditor my rear end. Who did she hire her baby’s daddy!
Obama turned a blind eye as we all knew he would. You know they will still get the 8.5 billion from the stimulus because I just don’t think there is anything we can do about that. If there is someone please tell us what we should do. I hope each state steps in and takes them apart bit by bit.
We can’t count on washington but let the states do them in.
