acorn never committed any counts of voter fraud whatsoever some of their workers did in fact commit voter registration fraud and when it was found out by acorn they turned those workers into officials now that happened because acorn actually checks or used to check before they were destroyed by the republicans used to check every single signature to make sure that it was legitimate however in newt gingrich's case clearly he didn't bother to check his own signatures in his own home state to get on the virginia republican primary ballot before turning in these fraudulent signatures and then apparently not bothering to turn in the guy who apparently created this massive fraud and now remember newt gingrich and the republican party and fox news has spent years calling this stuff voter fraud however as you just saw with the newt gingrich when he himself does it is own campaign oh in that case it was just a mistake it is a stone doing hypocrisy in this story has well this week so amazing so brad friedman the in iowa tonight the republicans and because this is in a state election it's run

well they went after acorn because acorn was the largest organization grassroots organization of poor people many of them african-americans in the country that's why they went after acorn why did big why did they name the welfare rights organization as part of the tree of revolution or why did they name george soros or why even do they name barack obama and why do they face ludicrous things about barack obama they're demonizing particular people who are associated with the politics of the left but really the politics of the bottom of americans the siamese the politics of working people the politics of poor people who are trying to make life a little bit better for themselves who are trying to enhance their dignity in american society all of this is poise. and to the right and so i became a scapegoat and you know i'm not sorry because it gave me a chance to answer back and you've done so brilliantly repeatedly you write a you just mentioned the way to the poor way to end poverty the article you wrote we have about three minutes till the break and then we can pick up a little more after

morris was acquitted, acorn was never charged. and this is karen giles. in 1994, he intervened in a nightclub fight. acorn stab at baron giles in the heart. -- stabbed darren giles in the heart. >> but the man who has refused to speak to the bbc has been acquitted. a jury decided he acted in self- defense. these incidents do not provide evidence any of the three men killed steven lawrence. they all deny that, and the police currently have no information to act on. they left court this afternoon to begin their return to normal life. they expect to meet detectives out again next week. >>> we have some breaking news from the philippines, where officials say at least 16 people have been killed by a landslide on the southern island. they say about 100 people are still missing after the landslide struck a mining area. the army has deployed soldiers to dig for survivors, and here is the executive director of the national risk reduction and management council in the philippines, who is in the capital, manila. have those figures changed, 16 killed, 100 missing? re

take acorn, for example. acorn followed the textbook written by saul alinsky.hey would invade a bank, literally take it over, sit on the floor, chant, shout, scream, demand that their members receive low interest loans, and if they didn't get the loans they'd call the bank manager a racist. that was the kind of style, the kind of community action which saul alinsky laid down in his textbook. did that rub off on president obama? does president obama's political strategy, his political positions, does it reflect the hard left socialism of saul alinsky? megyn: he became a professional man in chicago, he is a noted community organizer, you heard the white house spokesman acknowledge that and say it's all been well documented. some of president obama's biographers have said he is a lot more conciliatory in his approach than saul alinsky was. while they may have a lot in common on paper is there any evidence that they have the same sort of radical philosophy. >> reporter: well in 1988 then citizen obama published an essay in which it was all about after saul alinsky,

it sounds like what acorn was doing with the voter registration names by all of those workers who turneds and the registration forms. >> that's true. but in virginia, the whole reason that these candidates have a problem is because they actually were checking the signatures. they didn't do that in indiana. it was only recently that a local newspaper started looking at this and found these problems. unfortunately indiana, for example, has a long history of fraud involving not just petitions, but absentee ballot fraud. there was a 2003 mayor's race that was thrown out because of massive absentee ballot fraud. same kind of thing. fraudulent signatures on the saab centi -- on the absentee ballot. >> what should officials do? >> they have to do a much better job of actually checking and verifying the names and the addresses of registered voters and checking the signatures. this case was so bad that the hand writing experts said it was obvious looking at the petitions of -- one of the pages was written by the same person. that's something the election officials could have easily caught. they c
