Weekend question
The past week has seen the US Census Bureau, US Senate, and US House all move to defund ACORN within days of the release of videos showing ACORN employees around the country helping an undercover pimp and prostitute skirt tax law while smuggling underage El Salvadorean girls for sex trafficking.
Weekend question: Why did undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood employees around the country helping an undercover minor hide the rape of her adult boyfriend not get similar traction? What is the difference?

People find prostitutes threatening on a bunch of different levels.
What do you think your average person would say if you asked them, “What would you rather have located directly across the street from your house…a brothel full of illegally imported sex slaves or a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic?” I think people will reject whatever seems threatening to them and their family. Even Keith Oberman considers prostitutes worser than abortionists. Therefore, the Acorn story got media traction and action from politicians.
I think there is a wide perception that PP clinics are little unobtrusive medical clinics that pose no threat to people who don’t go in there. And having them in a community is a good thing for those who might have need of its services. After all you never know…it could happen to you…so it presence in the community offers a kind of scary comfort for the desperate and are not really that unwelcome…even if they occasionally cover-up statutory rape.

1.Timing.
2. B.O. is really starting to stink and his fawning obsequious servile sychophants can no longer hide the odor. Even their brown tinged nose are starting to wrinkle.
3. When over one million people make the trek to the nations capitol to voice their displeasure about the direction their elected representatives are taking their government, then something is ‘rotten in Denmark’ and B.O. is the face they put on the problem.
4. PP is an established whore house. ACORN are the new boys on the block.
What is the difference?
Minor girls choosing to have elective surgery to cover up their consenting sexual activity is not the same as young girls being kidnapped, smuggled into a foreign country and being sold into sexual slavery.
If you polled the americans nearly ever person most would find child prostitution completely unacceptable.
Unfortunately we have been desenistized to abortion related issues.
If you polled americans nearly every person would find it unacceptable that their daughter could obtain an elective surgical procedure without their consent or knowledge, paid for by their government with their money.

Most excellent question, Jill.
I suppose the first difference is that the “right” to abortion must always be protected, according to our pro-abortion media and government, even if it means ignoring a teensy little crime like statutory rape. So what if the guy was an adult? I’m sure the young girl really wanted sex, and now the pregnancy is her problem, so she must be allowed to abort the child.
This hypocritical contradiction you’ve highlighted just proves that the abortion industry does not care at all about the health of women, and certainly not about protecting young girls from predators.
Apparently, the government doesn’t care either.
Only the legalized murder of babies must be protected at all costs.
It has to do with Obama.
Obama’s connections with ACORN go way, way back. That’s one reason why he moved to Chicago. He worked for them, gave legal cousel, and made no qualms about having them on his team to formulate policy once he was in office.
So exposing ACORN is a periphreal way of exposing Obama.
The PP videos, on the other hand, exposed PP, but few, if any, pundits were saying that PP and Obama were conjoined at the hip and therefore their behavior is a reflection on Obama’s credibility.
Another reason: Andrew Breitbart. He’s orchestrated this masterfully, giving ACORN and Mainstream Media the oppportunity to look absolutely foolish before he relentlessy shoots again.
Maybe Lila needs to get together with Breitbart the next time she plans to throw Big Abortion another bomb.
And now that I think about it, perhaps if Lila had gone into the abortion clinics with her “boyfriend”, then maybe it would have gotten more play.
Now that I think about it, perhaps the fact that the under

Hundreds memorialize ‘Sign Man’
By MICHAEL PETERSON, Argus-Press Staff Writer
“www.argus-press.com/articles/2009/09/19/news/news7.txt%22%20target=_blank”
“Wednesday’s memorial featured…a message by Pastor David Knox of Abba’s House Christian Fellowship, the church [Jim] Pouillon attended.
Knox touched on Pouillon’s reputation as the “sign man,” which he earned by protesting abortion around Owosso while displaying graphic signs that
‘purported’
to show aborted [human] fetuses.”
————————————————–
All these ‘jounalistas’ must be cloned from the same human embryo/fetus and indoctrinated in the same liberal/humanist schools.
By ‘purported, Mr. Peterson is admitting he never bothered to verify the authenticity of the ‘sign mans’ photos.
How difficult could that be?
It is more convienient for mr. Peterson to just cast doubt on the ‘sign mans’ veracity than to verify that which he does not want to know and report:
Jim’s photos are graphic evidence of dead HUMAN embryos/fetuses killed by abortion.
That way mr. Peterson can keep himself and his readers in the false safety and security of the ‘denial zone’.
mr. Peterson is ‘purported’ to be a journalist.
We are stil awaiting vefication of that ‘fact’.

I think the big difference is funding and political lobbying. P.P. has so much power with those already in office that they choose to look the other way … very sad!
Please listen to this podcast.
Is MICHAEL Reagan Right?
Because PP owns the government and the unborn babies are the sacrifices of the false pagan godless citizens who believe unborn babies are worthless parasites.

I think the difference is that PP is a useful tool to the rich and powerful who want to keep down the numbers of “populations they don’t want too many of” (as our esteemed SCOTUS justice Ginsburg recently said about Roe), whereas the rich and powerful are not particularly well served by ACORN.
It’s all about controlling the “wrong kind” of population.
Great question, Jill.
Why? Personal guilt. And a deathly fear of what will happen if one admits a point of view that would ultimately illuminate or even suggest personal culpability for past involvement with abortion.
In day-to-day life, how many Americans have dealings with ACORN? And how many out of this group are personally aware of corruption, and further, feel that they are wrong in a gravely horrible way simply for having anything to do with ACORN? However large this number is, it is certainly far smaller than the percentage of men and women who have been personally involved with abortion.
A vast segment of the American public has somewhere in their past been personally involved with abortion. I believe that for many of them (not necessarily all, but most), admitting that any serious wrongdoing is attached to abortion (such as the covering up of statutory rape at abortion mills) is something their psyche prevents confronting at all costs. The psychological/spiritual confusion and pain and disorientation that would follow from looking at abortion in a seriously negative way is simply too frightening to permit.
The ACORN scandal does not threaten non-ACORN employees in the same way that the abortion issue psychologically/emotionally threatens those not employed by the abortion industry. On the level of individual persons the stakes are much higher. And I would speculate this reality is at least, if not more, relevant to the elite media.
I think it has to do with the planning. They released a new video each day and each one was a little more incriminating than the last. They went to multiple cities and showed the same thing. They used Saul Alinsky’s rule “Don’t let up” against his own followers. They also had a lot of support from FoxNews and Glenn Beck.
I know that PP makes $$$. Does anyone know if ACORN makes money or only gets federal funding/donations?
“PP is an established whore house. ACORN are the new boys on the block.”
Ken hit the nail on the head. Plus, PP has many pimps in Washington and in the Media looking out for them..
Great thoughts, all. I have also been wondering, Jessi, whether the Lila videos should have been released in quicker succession. Had Breitbart spaced the ACORN videos out farther, they wouldn’t have had near the impact.
PP is america’s whore house, whereas ACORN has not yet matriculated to that status.
ACORN is only progressive/liberal/humanist/democ-RAT’s whore house.
PP is every bit as corrupt as ACORN, but their whores are just more sophisticated and as such demand a higher fee for their services.
PP whores know where all the bodies are buried.
That is one reason they are protected by the political establishment and both sides of the aisle.
Apologies to ‘rats’ and ‘whores’ everywhere.
(Please note I use the term ‘whore’ in a non-gender specific manner.)
Then there is the ‘spiritual dynamic’ at work, but that conversation is a little beyond our collective grasp. Fifty million plus human sacrices is a lot of spiritual capital to overcome.

Firstly, we cannot forget the expose on the donor that insisted his donation to P.P. went to destroy a black baby and there was virtually no outcry. There was not a big audience back then, the exception being pro lifers and conservatives. Now there are the moderates and Independents.
I think it boils down to the fact that many of the viewers that are now watching FOX, were not viewers during the P.P.videos. Now they are becoming aware of the evil of P.P. and abortion also. Multitudes of people that voted for Obama are now watching FOX because of their “disenchantment”. I also believe that a lot of tea party protesters that are now connecting the dots, will be marching in Jan with us in D.C. for the first time. If you are a true Constitutionalist, the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness will resonate with them for the first time, praise God.

I’ve been wondering about this too because I would have liked to see the PP videos get the same kind of traction. I think Jessi’s comments are on point – the media tried desperately to ignore it, but with a new video coming out almost every day (and as she said, each one a little more incriminating than the last) it became impossible to ignore, and increasingly impossible for ACORN to dismiss as “rogue employees.” Also, some folks at Fox had already done some recent reporting on ACORN so they were quick to jump on this new information. Now even Jon Stewart is bashing the MSM for missing the boat on this one.
Why doesn’t Lila go in as a 14-year-old Ecuadorian prostitute who was brought in for sex-trafficing?
There is a tipping poing in society where that which was once tolerable is no longer sufferable.
(See Declaration of Independence.)
It is not necessary for a majority to wake up to reach this tipping point.
It was minority who agitated for independence from Britain.
It was a minority who agitated against slavery, but things came to a head quickly with Lincoln’s election to the presidency and what had been tolerable quickly became insufferable for that significant minority.
We are polarizing as a nation and that process has been accelerated by the election of B.O. and a host of progressive/liberal sectarian and secular humanists. These deluded ones mistakenly believe they have an ‘entitlement’ to power. They lost their grip on the reins in the 80’s and the 90’s and they will stop at nothing to keep that which they have regained. Have you ever known a socialist/marxist/humanist to knowingly and freely relinguish their hold on power.
Remember B.O.’s words: “America has been dismissive, even derissive.”
What has been the attitude of B.O., democ-RAT congressmen and senators to their fellow Americans who have had the temerity to publicly disagree with them?
Have they not dismissed these ‘tea baggers’ as astroturf, disgruntled republicans and derided them as Nazi’s and political terrorists?
B.O. said through his spokesweasel Gibbs that the president was unaware of any thing out of the ordinary on April 15th.
Neither B.O. nor his surrogates have made any mention of the hundreds of thousands of American who assembled in D.C. on 9/12 to petition their elected officials with their greivances. They treated them with silent contempt. They have in no way acknowledged their presence, much less the legitimacy of their grievances.
The D.C. transit service realeased figures that showed their ridership for Saturday 9/12 was up by more than two hundred and twenty five thousand from the previous Saturday.
“Tens of thousands” in D.C. the headlines read. Surely that was just an innocent ‘typo’. It should have read ‘Tens of tens of thousands’.
The liberal lame scream media would dissemble and say, “No matter, they’re all just a bunch of angry white racists still bitter about a black president in the white house”, conveniently forgetting it was white people who elected B.O.
The black vote was just the chocolate icing on the vanilla cake. (Don’t get your pretty pink panties in a wad! Mayor Nagin declared New Orleans a ‘chocolate city’)
And the same liberal lame scream media would conveniently forget that B.O.’s approval rating, and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, and even the lame scream medias approval rating, have been falling faster than the stockmarket afther B.O. announced he would rescue the economy.
These people who gathered in D.C. and in hundreds if not thousands of communities around the nation are the dis-effected people who have seen through the smoke screen of the TOTUS, many of whom were once Obama supporters.
