American Prospect’s Gabriel Arana joins the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club

The list of ACORN’s defenders in the media continues to grow. Gabriel Arana is the latest useful idiot to join the club. Here’s what this dishonest leftist wrote in a piece concerning Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.): The entire story has all the trappings of a contrived scandal; one cannot but draw a parallel to the James O’Keefe ACORN hullabaloo, in which O’Keefe posed as a pimp seeking advice about his prostitution business and then edited the tape to smear the organization. To be sure, all journalism—on the right as well as the left—tends toward sensationalism, and no doubt part of … Continue reading American Prospect’s Gabriel Arana joins the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club

The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes Aunty Em of News Hounds

Let’s have a big round of applause for blogger Aunty Em of the anti-Fox News hate site News Hounds. She’s the newest member of the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club. In a new post trashing Andrew Breitbart she makes the demonstrably false claim that the undercover ACORN videos that showed the group’s criminal inclinations were somehow “thoroughly discredited.” No facts, just a smear. Aunty Em, whoever you are, wherever you are, you’re an idiot in the service of error. * * * * * America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. … Continue reading The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes Aunty Em of News Hounds

The ACORN Useful Idiot Club welcomes Peter Hart of “FAIR”

So many ACORN crime deniers, so little time. The latest to join the ACORN Useful Idiot Club is Peter Hart, the “activism director” at FAIR, which stands for Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting. Hart bitches about Andrew Breitbart, who publicized the undercover ACORN videos, calling him a “right-wing scam artist” and an “[i]nk [b]lot.” He whines about a New York Times profile on Breitbart which described the videos as depicting, in the words of the newspaper, “ACORN workers offering advice on how to evade taxes and conceal child prostitution.” This shameless liar states That wasn’t the lesson of the ACORN videos … Continue reading The ACORN Useful Idiot Club welcomes Peter Hart of “FAIR”

Andrew Breitbart endorses Matthew Vadum’s book Subversion Inc.

Conservative Internet news entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart has endorsed my book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers (WND Books). Here is his endorsement: For too long the institutional left has been allowed to operate under cover of darkness because the Democrat-media complex refuses to hold them accountable. But these radicals who have been sticking it to Americans for decades scatter like cockroaches under the harsh spotlight of Matthew Vadum’s great new book, Subversion Inc. America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to … Continue reading Andrew Breitbart endorses Matthew Vadum’s book Subversion Inc.

Matthew Vadum’s adventure on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”

Back on Oct. 30, 2008, I appeared on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” to talk about ACORN and community organizers. Here is a link to the video (the show’s website won’t allow embeds). About a month or more before the air date, I traveled to New York City to tape a segment with John Oliver. Being in hostile territory (ideologically) I thought of the nastiest things I could say about ACORN and community organizers and I said them. There is no point, after all, in going on a left-wing show and playing along with the puppet masters. (Some conservatives criticized … Continue reading Matthew Vadum’s adventure on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”
