Ask him about the 800 thousand dollar donation that went to an affiliated group of ACORN from the Obama campaign. That Obama now claims was a “Clerical Mistake.” Imagine that an 800 thousand dollar mistake to the only group presently under Federal investigation for committing voter fraud in all the swing states. Just how stupid does the Obama Campaign and ACORN think the American public is? This is very important since the Democrats tried to fund this organization from the 700 Billion dollar bailout. Want to bet that the Obama campaign will not ask for the 800 thousand back.

Could you please ask him why Senator Barack Obama is now claiming , he has never had anything to do with Acorn. Where I come from thats called throwing you under the bus. How many times has Obama had to do that now?

Pogger, I think thats the million dollar question,oops excuse me I mean the 800.000 question.

Mrs Krueger
I have about 75.000 in my 403 plan, people are telling me to cash out and take the hit, because if I dont I stand to loose it all. Im 45 if that matters, so I wont be retiring for awhile.

Ask him what other NFL teams his organization registered

A political motivated investigation. No sanctions or criminal charges tells me they did not have a case. Democrats will stoop to anything

This comment by Jenny last nite says it all. Ill bet you all MSN (MLSD) is all over this. But no Acorn news, imagine that.

its to cold

Alisyn, tell the Dude on your right that the Red Sox won’t make the World Series. If they were to represent the AL, that would mean they and the Phillies would have red in their uniforms. Tampa Bay will win cause they have blue in their uniforms. This will make the AL blue and the NL red (Phillies). This will match the Red vs. Blue of the Presidential Election.

This may be off topic today but why do I keep hearing reporters call President Bush “Mr. Bush.” Do they have so little respect for the Office of the President of the greatest nation on earth? It doesn’t matter if you like, dislike, agree or disagree with President Bush’s policies or the way he runs this country but people need to show complete respect for the Office.

The ignorant person on Alisyns right you sound like you work for CNN, Why dont you talk about the issues instead of she abused her power, why dont you tell them it was a democrat who did the investagation and said it will be a october surprise, and why dont you say anything about the wife of the guy, this all pertains to it, Instead of bashing her.

And she had all the right in the world to fire him

oh I forgot its the LIBS on the weekend

Questionfor Pam :

I want to rent my townhome to a family member so I can purchase a bigger home with a big yard for my newborn son that I will stay in for many years. Since forclosures have driven down home prices is now the time to buy with say an FHA loan, and use my town home as an investment property?

Alisyn why dont you put on your Obama shirt, nothing Biased here ,right

Hi Alisyn- Wanted to let you know it is Dave’s birthday today-tell him his family says Happy Birthday!

I have a 30 year fixed at 5.6 percent. I have paid into this loan for 4 1/2 years. Countrywide continues to contact me to refinance into a FHA government backed loan. Is this a good idea? I have excellent credit and have never been late on any payments

Barak + Ayers = Obombya?? This from a decoder wheel in my box of cereal this morning. JK, I feel for McCain though and it would have been the same for any Republican candidate going up against Obama. He’s danged if he does, and danged if he doesn’t.

Asked him why Obama denies any doing with Acorn now, and what about the 800.000 the he gave them, and all the money he funneled to Acorn thru ear-marks?

Why on earth did you allow your guests to get away with statements that indict only white people for letting race “matter” to them when deciding who do vote for. I work with
African Americans who freely admit that they do not care about the issues and that they will vote for Obama because he is black. You didn’t say that they only polled white voters, so why would you allow them to villify white voters without asking if they believed black voters could have stated that yes, race does matter to them.

How do we know that the people making outrageous comments at McCain rallies are actually supporters and not Obama operatives trying to make McCain look bad?

Quite disappointed in coverage re troopergate. Your lead was misleading. Legislature did not approve report. They are not in session. Commission released report only. Investigation was made by one man, whose wife worked for the removed commissioner. Report contradicts itself; exceeded stated mission. Opinions were prevalent while facts were missing supporting those opinions. States she violated ethics yet the law cited has nothing to do with the type of ethics violation she is accused of. Head of commission and most of commission are vocal opponents of Palin. No supporters on the committee. Decidedly one-sided makeup.

Why do we give 500 million dollars a year to Acorn to push banks into loaning people who can’t afford it mortgages, to register fraudulent (liberlal) voters and then also have to use taxpayer money to investigate and prosecute Acorn on the other side of crimes. This is absolutely ridiculous!! If people really want to vote, they need to own the responsibility of registering and voting. I would rather spend money on efforts to get people to voting and registration locations rather than registration drives. If an elderly or handicapped person calls up and says they need assistance getting there, we should use all the money we otherwise would have spent on getting them to the polls. The people own some responsibility for exercising their right to vote if they take it seriously!!

I am a staunch Republican supporter but I think John McCain is either an idiot, senile, or he doesn’t really want to be President. He has exasperated me so much that I have decided to vote for Ron Paul.

Sorry ya’ll, too early to “think” accurately? Barrack Hussein Obama IS Arabic..his FATHER IS from Sub-Sahara Africa(NOT BLACK) …Mom is from Kansas…makes him at least HALF Arabic…it’s Muslim there is a debate over, not his NATIONALITY…go for another cup, please.

Good Morning.

Is it possible your producers could book early guests who are a tad more mellow than Marc Lamont Hill? This man talks so fast, the captions have a hard time catching up. I know this because I put him on mute. It’s a terrible shock to the system to listen to this guy so early.

OK I’d even settle for Lannny Davis at 7 am. Right now I’m crossing my fingers Bob Beckel is out on a lake somewhere fishing.

Sarah Palin was investigated by a bipartisan group which means they are not favored Democratic or Republican, learn to get your facts straight Jimmy C.

Regarding McCain finally stepping up to debunk the myths that his campaign was instigating the past two weeks is far overdue. But kudos for the effort, however small. The fact that his campaign had decided to take this route is horrifically dishonorable. McCain, Palin and even Mrs. McCain has been inciting hate and racism at all of there rallies.

Alyson,

I have been watching the show weekdays & weekends for 4 years now. I noticed that you quit doing the news on weekday mornings and you’re only on the air on weekends or when Gretchen is gone. Out of curiosity what do you and the other weekend anchors do during the week?

I may not agree with John McCain and I will not vote for him BUT he did regain respect that he and his campaign has lost along the way by his handling of irate followers/hecklers. If he continues to take the high road, we may have a tight race…

When my wife and i bought our house we bought only what we felt we needed to to grow in including future kids and also made sure we were comfortable in making the payments.
Senator mcains plan calls for rewarding the homeowners who bought more than they could afford.
Why should my mortgage not be refinanced at the present value of my loan

I FEEL BETRAYED AND CHEATED

Ask him how much ACORN pays him.

The Campaign is dealing with the challenges that most private sector businesses have been dealing with for a few years.
In prior days, most people learned about things, products and services from a friend, family member or a brick and mortar location.

With the rise of the internet, and the last mile of broadband extended, the old way of grassroots campaigning is competing with new egrassroots campaigning. A report recently released from Digit, shows that most people get their information about a candidate, NOT from the candidates website or the Party website, but from what they get from a search engine or a news type website. What ever has the most traffic is what they find.

So I think that the McCain Campaign is playing catch up.

Many of us out here are doing all we can to close that gap, by providing content, etc.

my .02

When are we going to start using “common sense” in this Country? We are giving money to Companies who can’t manage it. Why not give every America, who paid taxes in 2007, a $100,000 rebate check. Then have the Companies owed money on mortgages send in a government request and if the person who owes the money has a rebate coming back send that $100,000 to that Company. Those of use the pay our bills would then in turn use our $100,000 to stimulate all Markets. We would pay bills, invest back in the stock market, buy retail goods from “Main Street” businesses, etc. This would put money back in the pockets of these “Belly-up” Companies and stimulate buying. Then the Companies who hold mortgages can either give people decent interest rates to re-cope the additional mortgage owed, or just foreclose on them.

This would cost the Taxpayers a lot less and put money back into all aspects of our Capitalistic Society.

Acorn Jerk:
This guy is lying through his teeth–what can we expect when we hear this jerk blaming everyone but the idiots who do this FALSE registration. Interesting as slick as this guy seems to be, HE HAD TO BE ONE OF THOSE THAT OBAMA TRAINED! ACORN IS A FRAUD AND HAS RESPONSIBLITY IN THE CRASH WE ARE GOING THRU–THEY WENT TO THE BANKS AND USED FORCE TO GET PEOPLE LOANS WHO HAD NO WAY OF PAYING FOR THOSE LOANS–THEY STAKED OUT BANK OFFICIALS HOMES–THIS BOILS DOWN TO BLACKMAIL!

LIES, LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES–SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY THING THE DEMOCRATS ARE CAPABLE OF DOING! OBAMA IS THE BEST AND HE TRAINED ACORN WELL AS WE ARE SEEING!

God help us!

Ask him why Acorn sought out felons convicted of identity theft to work on their registration drives!!

As you reported on the responses John McCain gave during recent campaign stops, I could only image what the news reporting would be if he did not try to calm the fears of voters. The tsunami of fear-baiting, hate-mongering, inciting racial issues would dominate the news. I do not think he had a choice.

Rosalie, I understand your frustration, but realize this: a vote for Ron Paul is essentially a vote for Obama.

Allison,

I beleive John McCain’s comments about Obama are simply a matter of him putting his integrity above the politics of the campaign. We talk about change in Washington and how we want our politicians to be straight shooters and McCain is demonstrating to this country that he already has those qualities.

Because of his public and truthful statements about Obama yesterday, I trust John McCain even more today than I did yesterday and beleive even more today that he’s the right man to lead this country.

Alisyn, that guy from ACORN was plain and simple RUDE. You needed to shut down his mike and switch over to the other guest to let him talk! He is like a parent whose kid has bit everyone in his kindergarten class–instead of taking responsibility for his kid, he’s saying that the classroom is too small so that the kids are close enough to bite each other!

Alisyn, how can you say that the hateful things that have been said at McCain/Palin rallies are “internet rumors?” THERE IS VIDEO! “Off with his head! Tratior! Treason! Kill him!” It is sickening that anyone would defend this, ignore it, or pass it off as rumors. McCain and Palin have went too far and now have to calm the storm that follows when politics incite hatred. -Inexcusable and McCain/Palin should come out and go a step further by apologizing for igniting these acts. We are a nation of one!

I am proud that John McCain did the right thing by taking the hard road when it came to defending Obama. He did not hesitate to give his opinion in a room where he was greatly outnumbered. The first thing that came to my mind,” was this woman planted to stir the pot and cast a bad light on McCain if he would have taken the bait and bashed Obama?” I feel like it says a lot about his integrity and I am proud to say I am voting for McCain/Palin.
Debra in Mississippi

Saw the interview and your guest appears questionable to me…it’s and ACORN snow job.

As for your earlier question during the show about what McCain needs to do for the balance of the campaign:

1) Attack Obama
2) Go further beyond the face of the attack and EXPLAIN WHY his position is significant/important to the American people.

Obama is doing this eliquently…McCains plans make sense and he needs to articulate them…

Thanks

If you’re not going to let John Fund speak to expose ACORN for what they truly are then please don’t bring him on as a guest. The idiot from ACORN spoke like true liar that he is. You show a video of the woman explaining how she was asked to register multiple times and then you let Scott filibuster the discussion. It’s a useless interview.

For heavens sake Alyson, control your guests! John fund was constantly interrupted and shouted down by the Acorn rep. You just allowed him to continue to spout his talking points. John
Fund never had a chance. As a fair moderator, and I know you are, you blew this one! If this kind of “debate” is representative of what we can expect if Obama wins, we are all in trouble.

OMFG< Tell him to shut the hell up because John didn’t say what needs to be said , why don’t you get it fox they the Acorn/Obama team knows the weak anchors on fox.
They know when to send these obots to talk to you(fox) why don’t they send them to Hannity or Oreilly or Greta ?
Those are the best to get crap out of these A_holes…

Please do everyone a favor and don’t interview anyone that is a professional liar you are not equip with Hannity’s power.

Allison, You lost total control over the interview with the crackpot from Acorn. He wouldn’t let Funt talk and kept interrupting with his jargon. I had to change the channel. Disgusting!

Ali:

I think we just saw the Democrat in you take over and John Fund was able to say virtually nothing! Thanks for revealing your true colors, and I just was reminded why I don’t watch F & F Weekend–TOTAL WATSTE!

McCain CONFLICTED? Clearly he’s forgotten the Socialism aspect of an Obama Nation.

Sorry, I meant WASTE!

What McCain is trying to fix, but is not explaining it very well is that the mortgages that need to be bought and redone, are not necessarily a reward to those that took them. Most of those houses were APPRAISED FOR WAY MORE THAN THEY WERE WORTH.

This collusion between the realtors, appraisers, mortgage brokers, etc. has resulted in a balloon that has burst.

McCain wants to have the home reappraised, and refinanced in a mortgage that reflects the true home value and a non-predatory mortgage.

Look at AOL Straw Poll. They have McCain WINNING at 57%!

Patsy: enough already. Remember the spanish speaking ad that Obama put out for hispanics linking McCain to parody comments by Limbaugh? You disagree with those hateful filled ads? This is politics – not a tea party for crying out loud!

I still believe that the most outrageous screamers at McCain rallies are actually Obama supporters.

What a joke of an interview regarding Acorn and voter registration fraud. Have you ever moderated a two-sided debate/interview before? You gave the representative from Acorn all the time to talk and allowed him to talk over your other guest John. When guests are rude and act in that way, you must put him or her in their place and allow the other side to have their fair time to talk. That was the most frustrating interview I have heard in a long time.

I’m sorry Alisyn, I couldn’t stand it anymore when you let Scott from ACORN take over and never let John talk. He obviously had the facts that we never heard. What kind of interview is that? Go back to the weather!!

Every 4 years all you hear from Democrats is how the Republicans have stolen another election. You would think the Dems would want people to prove they have the right to vote, instead they insist that showing a photo ID shouldn’t be required. By the way you are a terrible interviewer. You should bop that ACORN guy on top of his head and tell him to shut up and let others speak.

His Walmart analogy is a canard.

If Walmart employees engaged in a pattern of stealing from customers or the government to the benefit of Walmart, we would blame Walmart.

You let him run all over you and not let Fund make his points.

Omg that ACORN guy, is he nuts or what, what a condescending jerk, does he think we’re stupid. Come on John Fund, get him!

That old lady who thought that Obama was an Arab shows the mentality of the McCain/Palin supporters.

Good job Alisyn interviewing Acorn! (HA-HA)
You really let Acorn shine.
Maybe you should stick to the news, you obviously can’t handle an interview.

How can true AMERICANS Vote for a person who :
1. Takes the AMERICAN FLAG off his Plane,
2. Refuses to wear the AMERICAN FLAG Pin on his SUIT,
3. Refuses to place his hand over his heart or sing the NATIONAL ANTHEM!
4. Wants to CHANGE Americans into Liberal Socialist, Totally dependant on Government, Raise Taxes on ALL businesses that make money, and employee us AMERICAN WORKERS !
WAKE UP AMERICA !!!
THIS IS THE FALL OF THE GREAT AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE !
GOD BLESS AMERICA: AMEN !!!

Why doesn’t anyone bring up the NATIONAL DEFENSE!
FIND OUT WHY BARACK OBAMA WANTS TO GUT OUR ABILITY TO DEFEND THIS GREAT COUNTRY!
With all the Wars going on, this is not the time to cut “ TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM OUR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, Slow our development of future combat systems. Not develop NUCLEAR WEAPONS, Not Weaponise Space.
Abolish our Nuclear Weapons; at the same time all our enemies are developing them.
Are we being taken over, CONQUERED from the inside, somebody has to bring this subject up! First disarm the American Public, Second disarm American Military!
Where is he getting billions of dollars to BUY THE PRESIDENTSY?
Why did he replace the AMERICAN FLAG on his plane with this new symbol?
Looks like the AMERICAN FLAG being flushed down a toilet!
PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO!
THANK YOU,
Patriot1776

Is it true, if Obama applied for the the FBI he would not be able to pass their background check and meet the stadards set for FBI hiring? I’m thinking this may be true due to his affiliation with some people, etc…. If true, WOW, would’n ty be hired for the FBI or to be a person to protect the President but, some want him to be President????

Sleazy little worm, makes my skin crawl and the main reason many Americans get the willies every time they mention ACORN and their ties to the Democratic Party. Remember people that man represents a group undermining you right to vote and who Pelosi and Reid tried to give millions of your taxpayer dollars in the 700 billion dollar bailout.

Who Obama, helped train, defended in a Lawsuit and has an 800 thousand dollar clerical error donation. Imagine how powerful this group will be in future elections with Obama and the Democrats having a Veto proof Congress and Senate.

Grrr! John didn’t get his first point in let alone his final point. Shut Scot up and don’t let him phillibuster! It is obvious to me that this election is rigged and it is over. Obama has stolen the election. I just wonder if he stole the Primaries as well. Democracy is finished in this country. All hail King Barry the First. As for Scot, I hope the peasants string him up in the first revolt.

Why do we see the need to keep asking these questions? There is less than ONE month away from the elections and nothing has stuck to Obama yet…Honestly, without the media promoting and protecting Obama, he would not be where he is today…McCain decides now to take the gloves off, but he’s not swinging hard enough to make a dent…Sad times for America…

It’s pretty obvious the Acorn Nut is hiding the worm in his shell while saying there isn’t a worm.

Get a life PATSY, McCain cant control everthinh hat comes out of their mouth, At Obama Ralleys jerks say McCain is going to crock soon, Palin is a barbie doll for america, Its not Obamas fault either. So give it a rest PATSY.

You have given us a very weak segment———- take control or go back to “fluff” anchoring ———- he made a monkey out of you and “we” learned nothing from the other side!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Allie, you certainly let the ACORN guy go on and on and on and on and on and on. John Fund didn’t get but, maybe, a couple of sentences out. You should have cut the ACORN guy’s mic so John could have made his comments. You were terrible!!!!

I just watched the interview. The ACORN rep badgered and interrupted and “filusbustered” (which was the correct term) through the whole interview. This is what people do when they don’t want to answer questions and they have something to hide. When the smoke clears, ACORN is still what it is —crooked.

I just watched that pathetic interview you just did on air. So why would you let the clown from Acorn interrupt, without allowing your other guest finish his point. You fail in basic juournalism. That was so pathetic how you just let the ACORN fraud cut off the counterpoint, and you did nothing to shut him up and let your other guest speak. Maybe you should just stick with the Home Depot segment of the show. Real news interviewing is not your specialty. Why wouldn’t you even bring up the point that they promote fraud by paying the people for each signature they get. Maybe you and Gretchen should get together, and create a show called the Two Worst Women in News Reporting.

Send Oreilly after Mr ACORN

The interview you had with the head of Acorn was the most pathetic controlled interview I’ve seen. You let Scott talk and talk and never let John have his say. You need to go back to News Interviews 101.

A profound disparagement of John Fund and your “fair and balanced” viewers to permit Acorm to sermonize, monopolize, and interrupt John Fund. For shame. More is expected of this program. Perhaps it’s time for a more assertive moderator.

You just conducted the WORST interview in the history of Fox News! You allowed the guy from ACORN to get in all his points, continually interrupt John Fund and let him make a mockery of what is actuallyt taking place. You need work on your skills!

Your interview this with the ACORN representative was a disastor!!!! The ACORN representative totalling controlled the interview and you!!!! You never gave the curteousy of extending time to the opposing view!!!

I am so so disappointed in you!!

Aly,

That Acorn rep. is trying to manipulate us into believing his rhetoric. I’m sure Acorn has a “policy,” but they certainly aren’t enforcing it.

I would like to know if Acorn officials reviewed all 1.5 million registrations before being submitted to the respective election commission. If so, how can they have overlooked all the duplicates and false names the election commissions have found.

This man is trying to blame individual Acorn employees which would be okay if it wasn’t happening in every state fraud has been found.

I usually like Alysyn’s interview style, but today was pathetically bad…a new low. She let the Acorn apologist filibuster away, while dismissively ignoring John Fund, who has the facts on Acorn’s systematic attack on our democracy with their illegal registration tactics. What in the world was she thinking? She let the guy walk all over her.

I think that maybe the Secret Service may have stepped in and ask the McCain people to tone it down because some people my take it a bit to far and may try to harm Obama…just a thought

Alysin, that Scott played you like a cheap fiddle!!!!!!!!!!! He rulled the conversation. He was an insult to John. And…..you never even gave John time to talk. I am very disappointed on how you handled that conversation.

The Acorn representative states how they have registered 1.3 million “VOTERS”, when in actuality it would appear they have registered 1.3 million “NAMES”.

He espouses how they want voices “heard”, when it would seem they are willing to win the election with thievery in an effort to “silence” the voices of others. He certainly hasn’t been willing to let the opposing voice be heard during this interview!

alic you let that acorn spoakperson run your interview ????

Why was the Acorn Rep allowed to run the interview? He would not allow anyone to interupt him but would not allow anyone else to speak without interupting. THAT IS NOT fair and balanced!!

Alisyn–

You said “Troopergate” found that Gov. Palin “…acted illegally.” THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. And right after those comments your colleagues contradicted you by stating there was absolutely no illegality what so ever in the investigations findings with regard to Gov. Palin.

Don’t you think you should clarify your remarks so not to leave your audience with the impression that Gov. Palin broke the law?

You have given the left a fantastic sound bite. Are you happy? Do you care if Obama surrogates pick up your words, which they most likely will, and uses them in an ad attacking Gov. Palin and John McCain?

I’ve been listening all morning to F & F and you have had ample opportunities to correct the record. I look forward to you correcting the record.

And lastly, why are you letting that ACORN representative filibuster? Come on!

Why was’t John allowed to talked without interruption about Acorn. Scott made his point, but constantly interferred with John’s comments.
Sharon

Judy–I agree with you. I have been thinking all along that the Obama camp knows that getting McCain’s rallies to be too negatively charged, that it will turn off most voters and possibly fire up those still sitting on the fence to vote for Obama, just in principles. I am concerned that there are Obama folks in McCain’s rallies that are doing this. I was also concerned about the gentleman telling McCain to “go get” Obama in the debate. Did I miss his appearance on the show? I want to know more about him–is he really a McCain supporter or is he setting up McCain?

That Acorn guy had me shouting at the screen and at Alisyn. I haven’t read the other comments yet but somebody has to agree with the following:

SHUT OFF HIS MIKE!

I don’t care what his political view is (actually I do) but he is behaving as an ass and should be dealt with as such.

Alisyn, you let that goofy ACORN guy get one over on you! He hogged the conversation. Give the other guy not sitting in front of you at least equal time.

How do we know that the people making outrageous comments at McCain rallies are actually supporters and not Obama operatives trying to make McCain look bad?
=================
Judy I thought this too. Anything is possible.

Let John speak. It is sorry interviewing. Acorn has been allowed to continue spinning his lies.

Alisyn – WORST INTERVIEW I HAVE EVER SEEN…. YOU DID NOT GIVE THE GUEST OPPOSING THE ACORN SPOKESMAN A CHANCE… GIVE US A BREAK. YOU PANDERED TO THE ACORN GUY WHO WAS FLEECING YOU. MAYBE YOU NEED TO TAKE OVER JUST THE WEATHER. A DISAPPOINTED FOX FAN.
CERTAINLY NOT FAIR AND BALANCED. I STILL WANT TO HEAR WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS IN EACH STATE INTERVIEWED MENTIONED.

As I reflect….still cannot believe I saw your WEAK interview.

Frank

WEAK ASS REPORTING, HEY FOXS TRY NOT TO COME ON WITH THESE WEAK TALKERS..
That Acorn put you in your place and you can’t do crap right…..shut down because the Obamanese is coming out with you three little obots…….Oh and yeah the acorn guy should work for fox because he ruled that segment and not the one who gets paid..

Ali,
First of all alot of us think you should take gretchen’s place! Next, on the Obama factor, 1. there are alot of facts you can look up that show interesting details about his ties to radical Islam. We know how patient they are. 2. Are we wrong in the fact that he is mostly arab, and that would not be an issue if it where not for all the other facts. 3. With everything going on we feel like we are going to loose our way of life if Obama is elected. You have all the facts, tell me what you think. I could go on & on and I am very angry that more is not coming out and that everyone is trying to protect him.
Please respond

Gee, I don’t see anything wrong with what Scot is doing. He seems like such a nice guy, the kind of guy who you could leave your beautiful wife with when you leave to go to Iraq. He seems like a guy who could give you a low interest loan for a mansion if you don’t have a job, income, or decent credit and not pocket the cash.

DON’T LET SCOTT TALK ANY MORE!!!!

You might as well let the ACORN rep. have the entire interview! C’mom…you’re a girl trying to do a woman’s job. Pathetic….

What a freak that ACORN guy is, listen to him tsk’ing :O

KILL HIS MIKE!

turn Acorn’s mike off

Did the Acorn guy really just “tisk, tisk, tisk” on the air? He is a piece of work!!

Hey Alisyn, you said that certain comments by McCain supporters during rallies are just rumours but unfortunately they’re not, you can check on the net for videos. The hatred that McCain and Palin are stirring against Obama in order to win these elections is just sickening, they should really be ashamed of what they’re doing and do something more than say Obama is a “decent” person. Yes, he’s decent, the man that will lead the USA into the future and save the economy. Oh, and Palin should resign after this scandal.

Clearly the outcome of today’s red river rivalry is on the mind’s of all swing voters and hedge fund enthusiasts.
My prediction:
OU 31 / TX 17

Perfect example of a liberal. Cant keep his mouth shut. rude!! i can’t believe you are letting him get away with that. he has dominated the whole thing. i am changing the channel

Alisyn ,
Fair & Balanced IS A Concept that any/all dems .YOU NEED TO KICK THAT PUNK OFF ! ! ! !JUST PLAIN RUDE ! ! ! !

McCain had to respond like he did if he wants to be percieved as having a brain and a little integrity. He needs to get angry about what Obama may do to send us toward depression. Cut the mmike on the acorn moron. You can’t ingore something and expect it to go away.

Wow, you really controlled the ACRON nut! Let a lunitic ramble, lie and keep the brain of the bunch quiet…Sat liberals??? Give me a break…some of you need to LEARN MORE before your allowed to speak…”children should be hear and not…” SHUT THE IDIOT UP CHRIST YOUR EASY!!

Can your team explain IF the voter registrations (for a party DEM or REP) affect the electorate?

If the voter registration does EFFECT the electorate this is SCARY and I think Americans must know.

PS. The oldest trick in the book is to pay people via contests or items…. ACORN is compensating for registrations somehow, someway

Scott is a piec of crap!!!!!

Alysn, are you employed by Acorn?

The other comment was that the Acorn spokesperson is just full of baloney and rude. He thinks he is a smooth talker and you should not let anyone take control of the discussions. Take control of your show.

This Scott guy is a REAL JERK! Why Can’t he just SHUT UP!! Obnoxious Jerk!

I wanted to hear what John had to say today. I work during the work. Acorn ruled this interview

STOP THIS MORON FROM TALKING!!!!!!!! JOHN KNOWS WHAT HE IS SAYING AND SCOTT IS AN OBOT.. No more debating from you Alisyn..you sucked REAL bad..

alisyn
you lost control of the interview. How could you let that lying blowhard interrupt and notanswer the questions asked. John Fund should have left.You did a lousy job Alisyn.

That made me sick, omg

you guys are getting as bad as cnn

The ACORN rep. states they have registered 1.3 million “VOTERS”, when in actuality, they have registered 1.3 million “NAMES”.

He espouses how ACORN wants voices “heard”, when they actually want to win an election with thivery and by doing so “silence” the voices of the opposition.

Is the American President selected by the electorial college and is the electrorial college affected by voter registrations?

If the answer is YES what ACORN is doing is SCARY.

I think McCain is starting to lose track on his campaign direction.

Here is what I see as the truth: Many Americans are questioning Obamas loyalty to this country and his character. McCain does not and should not need to defend him. It’s upto Obama to defend his loyalty to America. Obama’s associations and actions have led people to question who he is, while everyone knows for certain who John McCain is.

Obama put the questionable character out there, McCain needs to make some issue out of it, while making other topics (economy, health care, taxes) issues as well.

Thanks, Mark

Too bad McCain never showed President Bush, VP Cheney, Sec. Rumsfeld, Governor Romney, or many other Republicans, half the respect he shows Sen. Obama. They all are far more deserving of respect.

That brings us to the question: what would Obama have to do to earn McCain’s disrespect? Ayers, Wright, Rezko, ACORN, Raines, are apparently not enough.

Did I just hear Alisyn say that the angry mob’s outcries of hate at McCain and Palin’s rallies were “internet rumors?” Are you kidding me? I’ve seen for myself several videos where supporters were screaming horrible things about Obama. Including, “Kill him!” As an undecided voter that footage made up my mind right away. God forbid our country elects a ticket that would let their supporters behave that way. I want to live in a country where we all strive in tough times together.

Ali—–Perhaps you should never, never ever act as a Moderator in any debate!
YOU GET A BIG FAT FFFFFFFF FOR YOU CURRENT MODERATOR SKILLS!

This was a disgrace as this guy was OBVIOUSLY TRAINED BY OBAMA IN HIS JOB WITH ACORN!

Wow! This guy from ACORN is a nut.

I’m sorry Alisyn because I really like you, but why on earth did you to let that Scott continue to rudely interrupt the other gentleman. ACORN has a history of causing problems in elections, and you didn’t let that side be clearly stated.

Hi Alisyn,
Good interview with Acorn representative.Why did he evade your question about asking people too register dozens of times?

That interview with the rep from ACORN was PATHETIC! You essentially REWARDED him for interrupting by allowing him to complete his interruptions and you didn’t control the debate so that John Fund could complete even ONE of his comments!

I like you Alysin, but if you can’t control the guests any better than that, let someone else handle the debates.

It didnt get any better in the second segment Alyson. You either wanted Acorn to control the debate or are unable or unwilling to give John Fund a fair time to respond. You can do better than that!

For the first time in a very long time, John McCain is leading by example and showing his maverick side by simply doing the right thing. He is FINALLY listening to the people and getting out of the mud and into the issues at great peril for the presidency. He is “walking the walk” of putting people before politics and Country First.

Turn the ACORN mic OFF Look how long it took for ACORN too send a rep to F & F THen they find the most obnoxiuous guy to defend them Then he doesn’t defend them he is just RUDE Never answered one question I feel like my time was wasted watching this

ease up on Allisyn………..sometimes handing someone a shovel and letting them dig isn’t a bad tactic…

ALISYN YOU LET THAT ACORN PUNK WALK ALL OVER YOUR POLITE GUEST ! ! ! Come On ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Fair & Balanced IS A Concept that any/all dems JUST DO NOT GET ! ! ! Your guest SCOTT interupted my typing along with his RUDENESS To YOU & John ! ! ! !
Good Grief ! ! ! ! !

good morning Ms. Alisyn,

I wished I could have asked him what he planned to do with his time while in prison. In fact there simply must be some accountability in this and those not only directly involved, but those who were involved should all go to jail.

That means their lawyers too, past and present. Sorry Sen. Obama, that means you too.

chas

I am outraged at the Acorn spokesperson (scott) talking over John Fund constantly. His mic should have been cut and the bum should have been thrown out of the building

Just an awful segment on Acorn. Alison was used and didn’t appear to be aware of it. I was very disappointed in her ability to control the debate. WAKE UP Alison!

FOX PERIOD RACE BAITS. THAT IS WHY JOHN MCCAIN IS FORCED TO DEFEND BARACK OBAMA’S CHARACTER. FOLKS AND FOX SAY THAT MSNBC IS IN THE TANK FOR OBAMA YET TAKE NO CREDIT FOR FOX BEING IN THE TANK FOR MCCAIN. ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT IT OKAY TO BASH A MAN’S CHARACTER TO THE EXTREME THAT UNEDUCATED OR INTOLERANT PEOPLE BECOME SO AFRAID THAT THEY SHOUT RACIAL REMARKS OR VIOLENT REMARKS SUCH AS “KILL HIM” OR “OFF WITH HIS HEAD” SHOULD BE AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THIS COUNTRY IF AN IDIOT TRIES TO TAKE OFF THAT HEAD.
ANY ALLEGATIONS OR INSINUATIONS THAT OBAMA IS OF QUESTIONABLE CHARACTER IS A POLITICAL STRATEGY THAT IS NOT WORKING. IF MCCAIN THOUGHT OBAMA’S CHARACTER WAS QUESTIONABLE WHY HAS HE WORKED WITH HIM IN THE SENATE WITHOUT RAISING THOSE QUESTIONS BEFORE NOW? COULD IT BE BECAUSE OBAMA’S CHARACTER IS NO MORE QUESTIONABLE THAN MCCAIN’S OWN WITH HIS LONG LIST OF OBJECTIONABLE CHARACTERS INCLUDING CHARLES KEATING WHO WAS A BUSINESS PARTNER OF HIS WIFE LONG AFTER THE KEATING 5 SCANDAL? LINK: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/10/cindy-mccain-kept-keating_n_133738.html OR SARAH PALIN’S ASSOCIATIONS: LINK: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/10/10/palin_chryson/ THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
MY POINT IS THAT TRYING TO MAKE OBAMA OUT TO BE A TERRORIST IS BECOMING REALLY DANGEROUS. AND NOW WTCHING FOX THE SPINSTERS ARE TRYING TO DEFEND SARAH’S GUILT IN TROOPERGATE AS FOUND BY A BIPARTISAN GROUP THAT CONSISTED OF 10 REPUBLICANS AND 10 DEMOCRATS. SHE IS NOW SAYING THAT HOW CAN SHE BE FOUND GUILTY AND SHE HAS NOT TALKED TO ANYONE. COULD IT BE BECAUSE SHE REFUSED TO TALK TO HER DEFENSE I THE INVESTIGATION?

I’m watching Alison totally controlled by Acorn’s spin representative and not giving equal or any response time to John Fund. This issue is a critical one and our democracy hangs precariously in the balance. If our elections can be manipulated openly without disturbing the populus we are indeed numbed and desensitized. I’m beginning to agree with Sean Hannity that journalism is dead. I expect more of Fox than other networks. Don’t bring heavyweights on Fox & Friends Weekend if you can’t give the topic a better shake than MSNBC. I’m turning Fox News off.

Please…..shut the rude dude up.

Allyson, what happened to fair and balanced. You let Acorn answer anything he wanted and did not let John answer. I now see in this second segment you are allowing the same thing. If this continues I will not watch Fox and Friends on the weekends. I always thought you were better than this, Allyson. You did not make Acorn answer the question. He skirted all of them and you allowed it. Please watch your other hosts, Neil Cavuto, Shepard Smith, and others. Tell them this is MY show and I want you to answer the questions. I have been watching you for years, Allyson, and I have never seen you give in like this. It is far from Fair and Balanced. I am very disappointed.
Lynn.

The ACORN spokesman, Scott, was rude. Scott’s strategy was to try and speak over John…to drown him out…when John obviously had done his homework. Alisyn… next time… speak up… don’t be afraid… make both sides have equal time.

I believe that the question about John McClain and if he is being to nice and not want to attack radically the way the democrats do. I believe that if he is trying to be a Christian, then he is trying to be civil. Even if it cost him the election. I am also well aware of what is at stake in this election.

Lost control of that interview.

The Acorn guy was very rude and seems to be hidding a lot.

If the representative from ACORN (Scot) is any indicator of how rude and persistent ACORN workers are, it is no wonder people are being registered to vote so many times. What would you do to get “that” out of your home?

You guys are a little behind the curve on this whole “angry McCain supporter” thing. Did you ever stop to think that some of these comments were made by plants? It is a well known liberal trick to plant people in the audience to do and say certain things to get a story. Rush spent an hour talking about this on Thursday – and took tons of calls from people who have been at the rallies and said that the MSM is completely blowing this, and that that is not the attitude.

Dear Alyson: I am apalled at the egregious way that the representative of ACORN completely dominated the entire segment, and even more upset that you did virtually nothing to control the segment. Not your most shining moment. I am a consistent viewer of FOX news and, if I may say so, a fan of the network. I am also an ardent McCain/Palin supporter.

My comment is for John McCain…He needs to fight for this election. He need to look back in the history books and see how John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and the rest of the delegates argued and fought for what they believed. They hashed and bashed until all 13 colonies agreed to sign the Declaration of Independence. They were not “whimps” when they felt that their beliefs were right and just for all. We need this kind of representation again. “No taxation, without representation!!!”

Allyson:

You blew it with the guy from ACORN. You allowed him to dominate the entire conversation and use his public relations skills to create a very unfair and unbalanced review of voter fraud. You needed to be more proactive and allow the other guy to continue his thoughts. You blew it, Allyson! and I am very disappointed in you.

By the way, I love Fox News and you guys are great.

WOW, never saw such an out of controll interview as I did with the ACORN spoksman….

The result is Palin is in her rights so get over it FOX….

I am shocked that you could not control your guest from Acorn and stop him from interrupting your other guest. Where I come from after he was asked politely to shut up and let the other speak, we would make sure he shut up.

RE: Acorn representative segment. It was insulting to John Fund and the audience to have this obviously well trained “representative” for Acorn slickly dodging all of the well-known shady activities of Acorn. My opinion is that we don’t even NEED acorn or similar organizations. If any U.S. citizen eligible to vote really wants to do so, they can find a way to get their butt down to wherever they need to go to register!! The only purpose of ACORN is to seek to register as many people as possible as many times as possible to vote for the candidate for whom they are working!

I can’t believe you let the man from Acorn hi-jack the segment.

Hi Alisyn,
Most of us Mc Cain supporters are outraged about the bias of MOST media and the lies the opposition. The well spoken black man and the out spoken white man in Waukesha Wisconsin handled their fustration properly. Mc Cain MUST be tougher;however John was correct about insisting that his crowds don’t descend into name calling mobs.
Paul-Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
P.S.-You look fabulous as always.

Alyson,

IF John Fund ever agrees to be interviewed by you again it will be a MIRACLE! Why didn’t you take better control of that discussion. The idiot from ACORN was so crass as to make tutting sounds during Fund’s basically one chance to speak. How incredibly rude! The organization is corrupt. Everyone knows it, and Fox decides that in the interest of being fair and balanced you will interview their spokesperson. AND THEN, you don’t present a fair and balanced discussion. Outrageous!!!!

Alisyn….you get an “F” for that interview. I know you have a bunch of sycophant fans on here but im not one of them, Simply, when it comes to comments and interviews, you leave a lot to be desired. You should step a side and let people that can interview do that job. John Fund feels the same way. BOOOO!

I’m not sure anyone could have controlled that ACORN guy.

He did shoot himself in the foot by his behavior. Let’s hope others saw it also.

It turns that the Obama campaign is going to have to revise a filing to the Federal Elections Commission saying that they did, in fact, hire a subsidiary of ACORN to do some campaign work. Another lie bites the dust.

It was irritating…the smacking…and sighing by the ACORN rep. I agree..his mic should have been shut off.

For someone working for a major news organization I have never seen such a poor job of handling an interview. If you are unable to control the flow of the discussion then you should not be the one moderating the conversation. Worse, your producer should be called on the carpet for embarrassing you and the network that employees you both. The quality of the on air talent at Fox News has been slipping over the past year and what I just witnessed with the ACORN debacle is more proof of that assessment.

w

Thanks, ACORN person. I will continue to lobby my elected officials daily to stop all funding — federal, state & local — for this organization (and others like it). You truly pointed out what’s wrong with ACORN, although I think you were trying to defend it. This guy was a typical liberal who doesn’t care about anything except his own agenda and his own pocketbook. ACORN is un-American. Americans want openess, fairness and a level playing field. The democratic party (and their subsidiaries such as ACORN) have shown that’s not in their charter. Everyone should email their elected officials — with the economy limiting our resources, every dollar should be scrutinized and no money should go to any partisan group, and especially to any organization being investigated.

FOX get out of the tank for john mccain. He sucks and you know he sucks. His character is as questionable as that of Barack Obama and that is why your attacks or so vicious.

Could someone on FOX please explain IF the DEM’s increase voter registrations for their party THEN will the electoratial college be POSITIVELY effected in the DEM’s favor?

IF YES THEN THIS IS THE REAL “ACORN” STORY THAT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED!!!

You need to give John Fund a full 1/2–ALL BY HIMSELF ! ! ! !

If that rude jerk is any indication of the level of ‘employee’ they hire, he sure did give credence to the claims that ACORN is doing something very, very wrong. There must have been a brain in his head somewhere, but he kept it well hidden.

Do YoU Even Read These Comments ?!?!

When I hear pompous, condescending interrupters like Scot continually undermining the points John was trying to make, and you let him get away with it time and time again, I just change the channel – what kind of a fair debate is this – John tried to be respectful and let Scot make his points – but not answer the question asked!!- and expected the same in return, but it was not to be. Keep jerks like that in line or you lose me!

Alisyn

Try another line of work. You don’t have what it takes to moderate a fair & balanced interview. You got to have “intestinal fortitude”, you don’t have it!

Alisyn,
You totally lost control of the interview! John couldn’t get a word in and when Scott started “tsk,tsk,
tsking” John, you should have told him to shut up! I’m incensed! I love you, kid, but you let Scott
bully you around.

None of you 3 read this report so why dont you all 3 zip it and let the guy who read it all talk about it

Allison,
What happened to fair and balanced. You allowed that A Hole from A corn to run on and did not allow your other guest time to speak.

This was YOUR WORST interview yet.

I’m finding that Fox new is over compenstaing to the left to try and show your fair but that is not fair.

The spokesman from Acorn is a freak! I can’t even describe how I feel – what an idiot! I give you credit Fox News for even allowing that piece of crap on the air!

I am beyond disappointed in you Allison, you let the jerk from ACORN dominate the debate and John could not get a word in edgewise. What happened to fair and balanced? You need to stick with stories that people don’t really care about.
I think I’m done with Fox and Friends on saturdays if this is how it;s going to be. It is too frustrating to only hear one side of the debate.

ya the whole thing seems rigged they’ll investigate palin and thats all you see and all you’ve heard since she was announced as vp .. obama just seems to skate past every lil greasy thing thats found out about him now mccain is gonna lay down .. im not for mccain or obama im independent i’ll vote nadder or bar b4 either of these 2 .. amero is comming folks ron paul has been warning us we are losing our soverinty (the little we have left that is) dont buy gold buy bullets

You should have cut the mic. on the Acorn nut. This was the 3rd time I saw him on fox each time he was let do all the talking. Not good.
Steve

The guest keeps saying Wooten “allegedly” tasered his son. It’s not alleged when the guy said on T.V. he did it. When you admit it the word alleged no longer applies.

yOU HAVE TO STOP ACORN PEOPLE FROM TALKING OVER PEOPLE , WHEN THEY ARE CAUGHT LYING THEY TRY TO DROWN OUT ANY OPPOSING VIEWS.

My God!! Do you people miss E.D. Hill!! Fund should leave in anger and never return. Alisyn, you are no moderator. Cut the mike on rude people and don’t show their face while the other person is speaking. I’m very disappointed.

SusieM Said- “I’m not sure anyone could have controlled that ACORN guy.”

my sycophant comment stands.

What was that, Alysin?? The ACORN interview was out of control. You let Scott run all over you and John. It was the most out of control mess I’ve seen live on Fox. You should have John back on, alone, and let him talk…..that’s after you apologize to him for losing complete control of the conversation with Scott.

Don’t get in the middle of a mess like that if you cant handle it….

Good Morning Alisyn,
ACORN is a corrupted organization associated with Barak Obama,
Did Acorn and Obama steal the nomintion from Hillary?
something to look into.
Sal

Scott Levenson has either been drinking too much Kool-Aid or he is guilty of treason. ACORN is
obviously manipulating the election. Irregularities in so many states, how big of a chance do you think John McCain has of being president?
I was so annoyed with the programmed speel of Levenson, I wanted to stuff a sock in his mouth so John could speak. Levenson is about the most obnoxious person I have had the misfortune of listening to. Those people that knowly signed up 70+ times or anyone who registered more than once should be delt with to the fullest extent of the law. They are also guilty of treason.

My question is for you, Alisyn. You let that guy from ACORN walk all over you and John Fund this morning.

His constant interrupting and filibustering is exactly the sort of behavior that Bill Clinton’s defenders used to use during the time that they were denying his affair with Monica Lewinski. Eventually the hosts at Fox News learned how to deal with these tactics and maintain control of their own show. You need to either take some schooling from some of the hosts who were at Fox during the 1990s or else confine your activities to reporting on health tips and weather reports.

I worked for the State of Maryland in a “Serves At The Pleasure Of” position for over 20 years, under three Governors, and in Maryland you could be let go with absolutely no reason given by the Secretary of the Department for which you worked. I think Sarah Palin had plenty of cause to release the Commissioner, who ALSO knew that he “Served At The Pleasure Of.”

I just saw the Acorn interview…Alisyn, you were too nice to the Acorn spokesperson! His mic should have been turned off when the other guy was trying to speak. Every chance he had, the Acorn rep took over the conversation – it was unfair and unbalanced! Next time put him in a separate room so he can be muted!

Allisyn, after the way you handled the Acorn guy, I’m ready to turn you off. John should be brougt back for his response without rebuttal. You blew it.

did you miss that part in journalism 101

Allyson,
I appreciate Fox News trying to be fair a balanced, but you have to do a better job of not letting someone like Scott to be so rude and talk over John when he is talking. I felt John never got to really voice his opinion. You have to learn to stop this from happening in your interviews.

Alisyn, I can’t tell you how disappointed I was with your interview. You let the rep from ACORN totally manipulate the conversation. It was obvious that this guy did not want the truth to get out. John was doing his best to take the high road.

I’ve always been a supporter of yours, Alisyn, but this makes me wonder if you can handle the tough interviews. Steve, Gretchen and Brian could have handled this moron from ACORN. I can’t understand why you didn’t have his mic shut off.

Shame on you! You need to have John Fund back on as soon as possible without any manipulation from an ACORN rep. Again, this was not up to Fox News standards. There was nothing “fair and balanced” about this interview.

I was disapointed you let the acorn spokesmen get away with running over the other.

Alisyn… The Acorn debate was a joke! Please assert yourself and let “John” speak his mind! This was not the normal FOX fair and balanced debate… where’s the equality of TIME! Why did you even include John? Let’s just have Scott come on and blow his crap! That’s what is was!

*****************************************************************************

(representative from ACORN (Scot)
I would kick his butt to the curb along with his crappy mouth,,out you go you freak..
That’s the way I was taught not scared of any crack pusher like scotty boy..slam dunk time for people like that.

Alisyn:

You blew it letting Scott run on and on and not letting John complete his thought. Even when John could start talking you let Scott shame him, sigh loudly and say “Oh John.” This is not fair and balanced. You should have had more control of the interview. I wanted to hear what John had to say, you know, both sides!

go to link http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/10/cindy-mccain-kept-keating_n_133738.html or link http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/10/10/palin_chryson/ to read about Cindy McCain’s partnership with Keating years after the scandal and Palin’s ties with perilous characters. At least be fair and investigate McCain’s questionable associations that are plentiful.

Regarding Senator McCains Confliction:

I believe Sen.McCains’ recent comment’s are actually contradicting to his Ad’s. I believe that he is listening too much to his Campaign Manager’s. He is the “Fighting Maverick” that we all know and believe in, this will not change how we will vote. However; it does make one think, how easily he can be influenced. Sen.McCain has a fiduciary duty to properly inform those of gross immoral and unethical choices of his opponent Barack Obama. Oh well if the truth and answer’s look negative, I would rather know now, than find out later, after it may be too late.

Potterville, MI

Really, Ally, you acted as though you were intimidated by the acorn man who behaved very badly by blocking the discussion from going forward. You should have used more force on him, like sticking a sock in his mouth, and allowed John to make his statements like the intelligent gentleman he is. If the man from acorn is the best spokesman they have, I can see why they are being investigated.

Why did you allow Scott to interupt and not control your interview. John wasn’t able to repsond without Scott continually speaking over him. You need to improve your fair and balance interviewing skills.

very disappointed

I just watched the pathetic performance of Ms. Camerota attempting to conduct an interview with Scott Levenson and John Fund.

Mr. Levenson ran his big mouth and completely dominated that interview while Ms. Camerota allowed him to do it. He not only turned me off to his explanation but more importantly, showed the poor interviewing skills of Ms. Camerota. I won’t bother watching this program in the future.

What exactly was the “Abuse of power” that Palin is accused of? If someone has a history of insubordination and does not implement your agenda, you fire them!

Some October suprise….

You guys keep saying Gov. Palin “…acted illegally.” Those are strong words. It would be nice if you would at least explain what she did illegal for your audience. Otherwise you guys are giving McCain opponents the perfect sound bite quote.

ACTED ILLEGALLY?

Explain!

The rude manner in which the ACORN rep. conducted himself only served to confirm the potential for dishonesty that likely flows throughout the organization.

To us, the ACORN representative was arrogant, which is representative of the manner in which the organization conducts business. Their view of “freedom of speech” only applies to those who share their particular views.

This interview needed a much firmer hand at the helm. But having said that, the interview was probably more “telling” because of the lack of control…

As a former Police officer and having conducted interviews (they’re not call interogations anymore) all I can say is that the more a guy talks the guiltier he is… The ACORN guy is the kind of suspect that after reading him his rights you would have to tell him to shut up because he wouldn’t stop talking.

Public Relations guy? Sounded like a lawyer to me. I’m surprised he didn’t jump up and yell “Objection”

not enough pros on the weekend

Alisyn:

That was awful. A career low-point for you. I doubt you will ever do worse and if you do, I hope they replace you .

Please, Please, Please……take control of the interviews with guests. Your recent interview with Scott and John this morning was frustrating to try and listen to. Scott was allowed to present his distorted views and then acting like a child, interrupted John every time he spoke. I think you should invite John back to tell his side (without Scott). In the future, I think FOX should silence microphones when the other side is talking. The yelling and screaming needs to stop somewhere so why not at FOX?.

I really hope you don’t continue to consider yourself FAIR & BALANCED after the ACORN SO CALLED DEBATE! Why have someone on if you can’t control the guest? I am so sick of this same UNBALANCE treatment of guest on the weekends, especially. This appears to be the direction that FOX is heading. If I were John Fund, I would never appear again when you are conducting the interview, Alisyn.

I am sick and tired of Fox having idiots like Scott Levenson and the other woman from Acorn on yesterday’s show. Why can’t you cut off their microphone when they are being so rude? More and more I am turning to the Weather Channe!!! GET A BACKBONE!!!!!

10/11/08 @ 0710

Ms Camorata:
I just watched the worst interview I have ever seen. You hosted John Fund and the slease from ACORN and allowed the slease to talk over one of the best investigative reporters in the media. If you can’t do better than that you should just stay on the couch.

Please stop referring to the charges against Governor Palin as “Trooper-gate”. That is a Clinton scandal. To use those terms relating to Governor Palin is irresponsible!

I guess you don’t know how to run a good debate on the subject of Acorn. It would have been nice to be able to hear both sides of the subject instead of the arrogant side of Acorn.

I hope they put one of the 3 during the week on the weekend to balance it out

McCain should not defend Obama when American citizens express their fear. Obama’s connections, alliances, philosophies, and past should be open to scrutiny. Fear about him stems from the fact that these things have not been investigated but merely glossed over and any questions about them are labeled attacks against his character. We have a right to know what his character is. He wants to be president! We have a right to know who this man is. McCain must lead in exposing the answers to serious and legitimate questions about Obama. Obama and his machine will continue to create and paint the picture of him they think will get him elected.

SusieM Said- “I’m not sure anyone could have controlled that ACORN guy.”

Ed said – my sycophant comment stands.

W/E, I am no one’s fan.

carry on….

You have to control your interviews. The Acorn rep on your show completely controlled the ” DEBATE” and was able to dominate the segment with no valid points. THE ISSUE ABOUT VOTER FRUAD WAS NOT GIVEN A FAIR REPRESENTATION. WE AS YOUR LOYAL VIEWERS DESERVE BETTER. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED

I might be back to watching FOX after the election but for now you have no control over your guests. Fair and balanced means you get to hear both side of the debate. Every show on FOX lost control. Someone better grow a pair and quit worrying about insulting these mouthy lefties.

Well said Thomas

I am disappointed in Alisyn handling of the interview this AM on the ACORN issue. When the ACORN representative did all the talking and interrupted the other gentlemen, she should have cut his microphone off. She could have done a better job.

This interview is not Aly’s fault. When you get a controlling maniac on for an interview you have take some of his crap. Actually, Aly did a great job at letting this guy show his stupidity in thinking that we would fall for what he said. He didn’t answer Aly’s question; he just changed it to what he felt was important.

We should feel sorry for Aly that she had to put up with this piece of crap. If this man really cared, he would have spoken like a responsible adult. He only proved to me that the “manipulations” and “forcefulness” of Acorn employees are truly what this manipulative person wants. His smile was even manipulative.

Please try to get this ACORN rep on the O’Reilley time slot!

True Amateurs on the weekend. Fox & Friends weak ends…

She hasnt even been charged but the libs on the weekend sure are charging her

they didnt even read the report, its like they stood in line at the store and got the cover from a mag

Never before has there been a time for cleaning out Washington then now! If some of the people in congress don’t go to jail over what’s happening people should march on Washington, maybe it’s time to bring back the old ways of dealing with these people, tar and feathers and a rail. Vote them all OUT NOW! I want my pound of flesh!!!! What’s it going to take to wake people up and clean the crooks out of Washington. Yes I’m mad and getting madder everyday!!!! I voting against anyone and everyone in office. We got crooks investigating crooks. Both party’s are to blame for our troubles, if the two running for president are the best they can find to run the country then we’re in big trouble. You work for ass off, play by the rules and save for the future and the crooks in Washington come along and steal your future.

You must not watch during the week, when the real pros work.

Acorn ran away with this interview. Scott spoke to Alisyn as if she was a child who needed correction. Alisyn you should have stopped the Acorn spokesperson every time he interrupted you. You lost control of this interview. Did you allow his false “calm demeanor” to undermine your control in the interview? Next time turn off the his mic or learn to be aggressive!

Allyson:

As a woman, your interview was an example of a woman who did not have the strength or ability to control a conversation between two men. You should find another job. What happened to you? We expect FOX NEWS to be better than that. I was so angry that I turned off the TV, and I won’t watch FOX NEWS on Saturday again, unless they send you back to the Reporter’s Desk. Please stay away from interviewing controversial people. You are embarassment to all of us women! How dare you allow a man to walk all over you like that! Have more respect for yourself, Allyson.

Voter Registration does NOT have any affect on the electoral college. Each state has a number of electors equal to the number of its Senators and Representatives in the United States Congress. Most states throw all of the electors to the candidate who received the most VOTES in their state.

The issue with bogus voter registration, though, is that there is a possibility, indeed a likelihood, for a vote to be cast for each BOGUS voter registration–some states don’t even demand to see any ID when you vote–thus padding the # of votes which will in turn that state’s electors toward the candidate with the most votes.

You know what the Democrats’ motto is–”Vote early, Vote often”

It is time the Dems shut up and listen for a change. I have just watched the rudest individual who claims to represent ACRON and actually defend the behavior of dishonest voter fraud running rampant in this country. Why is someone like that Scott person be allowed to dominate the entire interview? AND to allow him to make noises, to interrupt John Fund from making any points was just uncalled for. Can’t you pull the plug on those interviewees who become so obnoxious?

I love your program, but find it is becoming more difficult for you to be fair and balanced when your guests are so extremely partisan they will not allow anyone else’s opinion to be heard – so it is with the left. Keep up the good work.

The just completed interview by Alisyn Camerota on the Acorn vote fraud was completely unbearable. Her inability to control the Acorn guest was intolerable. As viewers, we longed to hear the author of “Stealing Votes” speak, but Alisyn just couldn’t, and was not in control of the Acorn guest. Please give her more training to do her job better. This was a message that needed to be heard, and unprofessionalism prevented it, not to mention the President’s address interrupting. Please, we demand to know the truth. If your anchors don’t make it happen, why should we watch your channel? Really bad job.
Also, your website makes it very challenging to easily comment to respond on programming.

Thanks.

Folks, don’t be so rough on Allisyn. If anything this interview really showed the TRUE obnoxious nature of ACORN and the tactics that they undoubtedly use with potential voters….many people would just cave in and sign anything to get a guy like this off their front porch! Let’s hope ACORN is prosecuted to the full extent in those investigations that are ongoing.

Allison, why didn’t you control the interview with the Acorn representative? He took over the entire interview, got across his message and didn’t allow his opponent to state his case. There were times when you should have stepped in so this would have been a more fair discussion. You let him bully you.

Bob and Joyce Wolfe

This is really funny ayers and obama… Well Obama was 8 years old when this happened…Obama did not set off any bombs….I would like to ask all your viewers, are we suppose to start doing background checks on everyone we talk to…are seen with or on a board with. Would you be happy if someone did a backgroup check on you before they would talk or be seen with you.

Alison..I think you read the news quite well and should stick to that. You just blew that interview with the ACORN NUT. I was hugely disappointed that you let him take over. My husband and I don’t care for Fox and Friends weekend but love the Mon-Fri show. This just hammered the coffin shut on F&F Weekend for us.

I think it is funny to watch you conservatives turn on each other. Now you are attacking Alisyn because she allowed the Acorn rep interrupt during the interview. Have you not seen any of Fox’s interview. Her interview was normal. The only difference was the other side got a chance to do the interrupting.
Research McCain’s shady past please!

If ever I questioned whether ACORN was legit, NO MORE. The ACORN guy just demonstrated what a hideous, underhanded, sleezy “organization” they really are. If he is the personification of ACORN, he just validated all of the accusations and proved them true by his ridiculous behavior.

I cannot believe the report you just did on ACORN with Scott & John! You say you are fair and balanced but you let Scott from ACORN hog the entire debate. It would only be fair if you brought John back on and gave him equal time to tell the real fact about that organization. Shame on you for not shutting Scott up!

Thank You

You got that right Kelly

What a joke that acorn voter fraud segment was! There was certainly nothing “fair and balanced” about it. Shame on you Alisyn for allowing a guest to control a segment and drown out equal time for the opposing view!

Alisyn, I was furious w/you this morning for allowing that arrogant Scott to run his mouth about acorn. He not only cut Scott off many times, he even did it to you and you allowed. I thought this a very important matter. You should have taken off his “mic” and then allowed John to finish. Shame on you, for acting like those other news media broadcasts.

Right on!! “XIO”, We dont need to say anymore than that

Acorn interview was a total waste of time. Nothing fair and balanced about this one. Control your guests or don’t have them. What a joke. Ali do better or go back to reporting weather.

Alisyn,
My wife and I were really disapointed with your interview with Scott ? from ACORN. You let him take over your Hostess position and this resulted in a very unbalanced segment. You actuallu allowed him to stop the other guest in mid-sentence and allowed ACORN an unfair amount of camera time. Shame on you. You must keep contorl of your position or you will be nothing more than another script reader. Respectfully, Buzz & Karen Shallenberger

McCain’s campaign is out of control. He is getting to much input and bad advice on how to run his campaign, making him look desperate, unable to use good judgement, and a puppet to all those out there who think they know how to help him win the election. Rather than helping him, they only making him look really bad. McCain needs to be himself and show Americans he is able to make good judgement, and is capable of being POTUS, based on his knowledge of the issues and ability to lead.

Alisyn,
You should have turned off the microphone of the Acorn Rep. He was obnoxious! Same old story from people who do not admit they are wrong!

One thing on Obama, come on were is the fair and balanced

The only person being dis-honest this morning is the guy from Acorn, he actually thinks we believe Acorn is not in the tank for Obama and is not registering people who do not even excist. His only defense is to talk over people who disagree with him, when the Feds are done with these Acorn people somebody better go to jail!

Megyn Kelly should have moderated that ACORN discussion… she has zero tolerance for that crap.

Thank you Aliyson for your interview with the representative for ACORN. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! You asked him several times to explain why the video where people are signing up several times to vote and he started blaming Walmart??? I can’t believe these people! I don’t understand why people can’t see what is happening before their very eyes! I can’t see why anyone could support such a corrupt organization. We all need to wake up and stand up for our country! We are heading towards a socialist government and it appears that people don’t even care. It’s so frustrating.

I AM GOING TO STOP FOX NEWS IF YOU DO NOT PUT A STOP TO THE FILABUSTING BY OBAMA’S SUPPORTERS. CUT THEM OFF. THEY ARE EXTREMELY RUDE. THERE ARE TOO MANY OBAMA SUPPORTERS TO SPEAK FOR HIM THAT SHOW A LOT MORE CLASS.

Ms. Cheryle,

Just a slight correction. Jefferson detested confrontation and sat quietly while the Congress re-wrote parts of the DoI and as much as he hated what they did to much of it, said nothing.

He was not one to talk in front of a crowd, nor fight or defend his ideas in other than small groups.

But otherwise, I agree with you. We have way too many politicians and not enough statesmen.

chas

I understand that better control was an issue. But, this guy wouldn’t let anyone speak. Pulling the mic was not an option given the fact that you have to let the guests speak – stupid or not.

No matter who did this interview, they would not have controlled this guy.

Alisyn, you really blew the interview with that oil slick from Acorn. You let him slime up the entire spot. If you can’t control your “guests” then you are merely letting these creeps have a platform from which to spread their lies. I’m giving up on you guys. It’s like Ted Mack’s amature hour revisited.

As viewer, I can not watch a discussion where a guest acts like a third grader, such as that Acorn representative you had paired with a reasoned adult like John Fund. Yes, I switched channels.

The only redeeming value of those segments of your show is that the Acorn representative left the impression that his organization is a bunch of immature punks, not to be trusted with other people’s money.

John Fund should get the last half hour of your show for the lack of respect he was shown.

Shame on you Alisyn for letting that jerk with the patronizing smile take over your interview. Some of us wanted to hear what John had to say. You should have John on again so he can speak the truth.

Allison, If this is the best you can do, (The Acorn interview) you should look for other work. It was the worst interview I have ever seen. I watch Fox most of the time because the main stream networks are totally liberial in their views. I must also say that your segment on Sarah Palin was more of what I would expect from one of the Main stream media networks, fair and balanced is what we all would like, but we do not see it from anyone but FOX!

Alisyn – just looking thru the comment board – honestly, you weren’t really giving that ACORN Nut a platform were you? Please tell me you were just being a bit timid. Well get over it girl – I know you have guts, show us!!

I don’t understand why you invite people on the show for their views and then one side can’t tell their views! This Scott person for Acorn as you know kept interrupting John! Then making his childish little noices! Cut the guys microphone! More times than not it is the liberals that act in this way! it is so frustrating! If these people can’t respect the other guest don’t invite them.

Cindy McCain and her father were partners with Keating for almost 11 years.

The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

I felt the need to take another shower after the ACORN represenative Mark Levinson spoke…he is a slime bucket and I wouldn’t trust him with the mensroom key at my local gas station……

JERRY- GROW PAIR. SHE’S NOT GOING TO DATE YOU EITHER. THAT COMMENT IS BEYOND PATHETIC

coloradobuff: Where is your video proof of Obama rallies turning into hate filled bashing? Just wondering…

I live in PA and I was surprised here in PA that before the primary how many people registered to vote in the Democratic party. There were record numbers. At the time, they said people that registered did NOT want Obama to win, they wanted Hillary. Hillary won the State by record numbers. Now I am questioning, whether or not ACORN had their dirty hands in our State for the Primary.

I can tell you one thing, the polling in this State are not correct. I am active in the Republican party and I have NEVER been polled. Obama is popular in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia but not in the heart of PA. Rendall is the biggest crook we have ever had for a Gov. so I can tell you that people that voted this guy in are regretting their vote, twice. People are not happy in this State with all the unemployment, wanting to toll I-80, voting themselves pay raises in the middle of the night so no one would find out. We all took names for the upcoming elections.

The polls are wrong for PA.

Aliyson. I am truly disappointed with your interview regarding ACORN. You really lost controll. There was nothing fair and balanced about that interview. If I could, I would have stuffed his mouth with real acorns

I have never seen such a one-sided interview that was allowed the acorn rep to express his attempt to explain his stupid reason for the unlawful practices of that group. If you are going to be “Fair and Balanced” please practice what you preach

Second and final comment on Acorn dude and interview:
Reading back through comments, I can see I wasn’t alone in my disgust …

BUT

You might as well stop the slagging on Alisyn – not her best moment but maybe that was the first time she ever faced off against an a**hole of that magnitude (judging from the ire expressed here, he made quite an impression). If you are not used to being bludgeoned with verbiage, it takes a bit to catch your breath.

I have the solution:

Give the host a switched mike for all participants. If she can’t turn the guy off, you can hardly blame her for his interjections.

Live and learn, and do better next time.

Alisyn,

My husband and I watch you and Fox co-hosts every single day and truly love every moment. Today, however, I was appalled at how you allowed the ACORN rep. to constantly, repeatedly run over the voice and comments of John Fund. He couldn’t get a word in edgewise, and seemed to be asking you to help control the situation which you failed to do. Get with it young lady…we love you anyway. Carol and Mike H.

I would like to comment about the interview with the head of Acorn. That was one of the worst interviews I have ever seen. The Acorn person was allowed to manhandle not only the intervewer but the people who control the microphones. Fox should give the opposing man 10 minites to state his facts and never allow the clown from acorn on again. You gave that guy way to much air time. He reminds me of the man going to the gas chamber claiming he did not kill anyone but then turning around asking the family for forgiveness.

Thank You!

Dennis said,

“This is really funny ayers and obama… Well Obama was 8 years old when this happened…Obama did not set off any bombs…”

Bill Ayers is no different than Timothy McVeigh. The only difference is Ayers didn’t kill as many people.

Would you care if Obama was friends with Timothy McVeigh?

Alisyn,
Your interview with John Fund and Scott with Acorn was a disaster. You allowed Scott to ramble, and we never heard all of what John had to say. You need to take charge or turn it over to someone who will. I am tired of these democrats who are allowed to talk endlessly and block out what the other person has to say. This is their game, and you know what they do so don’t allow it. They take over and then it is not fair and ballanced. You are getting unfavorable comments, learn from your mistakes, and toughen up.

Alisyn … why did you permit that Acorn jerk to continue to interrupt your other guests, once … ok, but you let him continue to interrupt throughout the segment. You should have thrown the switch on the liar.

The idiot from Acorn was a joke – BUT, with that being said Fox News has been on the air bringing up the Acorn fraud without a spokesperson coming in for an interview to hear their side – so finally an idiot comes in and makes a total a_ _ of himself – this guy Scott has proven what Acorn is like. I think Fox News just proved the point of what this organization is like! Go Fox News!!

Alisyn,
I can’t believe you allowed the ACORN rep (Scott) to dominate the interview and talk over John Fund. EVERY time Scott talked over John you gave him more time, allowing Scott to bully you and John. It’s your show– why did you allow the Scott, who’s only repsonse to legitimate criticism is to shout critics down, to control your interview and disrespect John Fund?

A result of the present functionality of the Electoral College is that the national popular vote bears no legal or factual significance on determining the outcome of the election. Since the national popular vote is irrelevant, both voters and candidates are assumed to base their campaign strategies around the existence of the Electoral College; any close race has candidates campaigning to maximize electoral votes by capturing coveted swing states, not to maximize national popular vote totals.

Claims in favor of the Electoral College
Enhances status of minority groups
Far from decreasing the power of minority groups by depressing voter turnout, proponents argue that, by making the votes of a given state an all-or-nothing affair, minority groups can provide the critical edge that allows a candidate to win. This encourages candidates to court a wide variety of such minorities and special interests.[50] This argument does not apply to states that do not employ an all-or-nothing system, for selecting their electors, Maine and Nebraska being the only such states at this time; the argument does apply to individual electors.

Since we know the popular vote is irrevalent can someone explain what the ACORN strategy is and how they are REALLY trying to effect the outcome of the election?

What is the story behind the story?

Also did ACORN involvement in any way cause Hillary to loose the nomination?

Scott was Acorn was extremely rude – never answered a question. He was out of control and should have had his mike turned off or Alisyn should have been much more forceful in cutting him off and demanding that he not interrupt John Fund. I was so angry I was ready to throw something at the screen. NOT a penny of taxpayer should go this miserable organization!!!!

Alisyn’s interview with John Fund and Scot (Acorn guy) ruined my morning.
Why can’t somebody at Fox turn off Scot’s mike when he “tsks” and sighs and groans, continually interrupting John Fund from making his point??? Are you all paralyzed?!!?

Thank you Aliyson for your interview with the representative for ACORN

WHAT “INTERVIEW? THAT WAS A HIJACKING! BOOOOO!!! ALISYN!!! BOOOOOOOOOO!

Alisyn,

OMG! Scott Levenson never really answered the questions and you let him go on and on. I heard the same rhetoric last night on Greta wire. I can not beleive anyone can defend any type of voter fraud, unless you truely hate this country, which is so obvious with the liberals latley. Voting is the very fabric of our democracy for which John McCain was tortured for.

Could you please ask the greasy, unwashed ACORN guy to leave, and not come back?

His fear of letting others talk is embarrassing.

ACORN struck again. If you cannot legitimize your position, just talk over anyone who questions your position. Shame on you for not stopping his patronizing “tsk tsk”. So unprofessional–but then again, he was trained by Obama. Mmmmm….

Hi Alisyn,
That Acorn idiot was a real nut! No pun intended. I really wanted to hear John’s rebuttal but Scott would’nt let him talk. What a big baby, interrupting with his tsk-tsk. Actually John didn’t have to say word, Acorn dude said it all with his rude, bullying behavior. But I hope John will have a chance to speak sometime soon.

Very poor moderating between Scott of Acorn and John. Why did Alisyn allow Scott filabuster? it was
sickening, one sided and not fair and balanced at all. It has to be the poorest moderating that I have
ever seen. They should have shut Scotts mike off and not allowed his tsk, tsking and sighing to disrupt
Johns speaking. They played into Scotts hand and not allowed the other side to be heard.
I am very dissappointed in Alisyns’ moderating.

Everyone should email their elected officials and ask them to vote to not allow any federal tax dollars to be given to Acorn anymore.

Fox News is in the tank for McCain even though Rupert Murdoch himself thinks Obama will win!

this is the worse

Can Fox find that blonde in the red ACORN shirt that you show a video clip of all the time? Interview her — would probably get more fact than the fiction the ACORN spokesperson just spewed.

I was SO disappointed with Alisyn not taking more control with the Acorn Rep.; I rarely yell at the TV, but I was yelling this morning!!! That guy was so disgusting and infuriating, I’ll use the “mute” button on him from now on, to save myself the stress.

Re Acorn -If I desire to hear an interview(??? not sure that was an interview) where the liberals dominate the conversation, i will turn FOX off and go to NBC. Alisyn that was a bad job and from a channel that is supposed to be fair and balance, I never saw the balance. Bet John Fund doesn’t think you are too fair and certainly not balanced. Don’t mean to be rude as your guest from Acorn was, but maybe Alisyn, you should stick to the weather.

Why is President Bush not defending himself on the economy? He could help himself and his party to respond to Obama’s blaming of the last 8 years. There is proof that he warned the hill and there was no response. The people are hurting and blaming Bush for the pain. Many understand the connections to the Democrats, many do not.

I am still dizzy from the Acorn spokes person tornado. I want to hire him to sell ice to eskimos.

I am always proud of Alisn.She is a key part of FoxNews.She is Hot and has the best legs.Sorry just had to get that out there.As far as Acorn they should be put out of business.The people that actually sign up more than once should also be put in jail.Our laws and heritage of the American way of life are in danger.But most of all lets look at the large percentage of the people they are signing up.Do they have jobs?Do they pay taxes/Hell no they dont.Should they really be able to vote when it comes down to it?

Being able to vote should be a privledge.Not a right after we see these problems with Acorn.
Love Fox News.
Jonathan

The color of a person’s skin is not important to me as far as qualifications for President. What does concern me, however ; is how did we allow someone to become a canidate who doesn’t think enough of this country to salute our American flag, or refuses to place his hand on the Bible to be sworn in as a canidate??? These should be BIG RED FLAGS to all Americans.!!!!! Wasn’t our country founded on God’s Word and when did it become American to deny what so many have fought and died for as our freedom from socialism????? If anyone refuses to show true allegiance to America then let them go where they can show their true allegiance and let us have our established freedom.!!!!!

Alisyn
Your interivew with Scott & John clearly disappointing as evidenced by the mail you received.
You as the interviewer have the capacity to pull the plug but you let the demogogic behavior
of Scott prevail, so much for “Fair & Balanced”
But alas fair maiden you do make indviduals like “Mark” think that they are clearly without
fault…..
greg

Fair and balanced?? I think NOT!

Alisyn’s interview this morning with John & Scott (ACORN) was completely biased.
An interviewer is supposed to be in control. She was not. Scott was continually allowed to rudely interrupt, and John was not able to complete a sentence – even during “closing statements”.

I’ve watched Fox News for years thinking it was the last bastion for both sides of an issue. In the last couple of weeks, you’ve joined the mainstream media. Thanks for ruining my last hope.

Alisyn, I was shocked and disappointed in your inability to control the interview between the Acorn representative Scott, while John was attempting to discuss his point of view regarding illegal voter registration.

I’m a very loyal viewer of Fox and Friends but this interview has made me loose some faith in Fox and Friends.

If your incapable of controlling an out of control Acorn representative, Scott, then you shouldn’t have been allowed to hold this interview.

Fox should put people who are capable to conduct interviews with the skills and strength that will not allow this to happen in an interview.

I was shocked that you couldn’t get this Acorn rep to remain quiet while John spoke and allowed him to breath heavy, make comments and make weird noises while John tried to speak.

If your allowed to hold this type of interview and continue to conduct these types of interviews you have lost me as a viewer.

Hopefully you realize you did an extremely poor job during this interview.

Please explain PMI and why it doesn’t help with current mortgage situations. What happened to all of that money?

That ACORN rep reminds me of a sleazy used car salesman. I would not trust a word out of his mouth. I think the “gentleman” dost protest too much. He thinks talking over everyone else will change our minds but facts are facts… They are trying to steal the election and we can not allow that.

John , John, John… you need to get angry! If BO wins this country loses more than the election. We will lose liberties we have come to cherish. Our new best buddies will be Chavez and Iran Pres ( too lay to look up spelling right now.) Yes our service members will come home , in disgrace and the region will fall into a bigger mess than it is now. Does not matter at this point whether we should have gone into IRAQ. We are there and we need to make sure it is secure before we leave, else we lost the lives of our service members for nothing. We do need to make them start paying for their own recovery efforts. Oh and what we really don’t need to is a democratic run Congress and White House. Hell the country will really be ruined.

As far a Sarah, I say good for her! She would not have had to worry about firing anyone if it had been my son who had been tazered. You go girl. Nothing personal I am not worried about her being a “heartbeat” away from the White House, that is why you put smart people around you, experts in their field so you have the facts to make decisions on.

I do understand the need to put money into the economy, but think every crook who benefited needs to lose it all. Every dime they stole needs to be put back into the economy and they need to go to jail. THe American people need to demand this. I have written to my Senators and demanded this.

Well good morning all….just my thought for the week. Have a great weekend and holiday all.

The 2000 election was stolen by Bush and it’s about time the GOP got some pay back!

Alysin,
What a releif to see you!! We love Ken Blackwell, here in Ohio. Unfortunately he is not our governor! The analogy with Wallmart was stupid. Wallmart is a private compnay, not recieving tax money. Neither is their mission to register voters. ACORN is running a shody program, and is just having a hard time admitting it. Why should tax dollars go to this organization, when corruption is rampant? Why can’t they just stand on their own? I think their mission is to cause chaos, and that is exactly what is happening…so they have been, and continue to be, successful. I suspect nothing will be done, as usual, and they will continue to collect tax revenue from the system, and no one will be held culpable for the miss deeds of this organization. Isn’t it a shame, that an organization that claims it is there to help, is so corrupt? I think so!!!

Well, we have all had bad days, this morning was yours. Like everything in life, take it and learn from it. The guy was difficult……….but no excuse for what I just saw.

Alisyn
Why can you not believe a former secretary of state about the charges against ACORN? Maybe your pathetic attempt at presenting a “fair and balanced” one sided argument between Scott Levenson and John Fund allowed ACORN to out-talk John.

Alisyn:

You were way off your game on handling the Acorn debate!!!

This is how you conduct an interview.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU3OUiEIrhs

Megyn Kelly is great!

Take notes Alisyn.

Allyson,
The representative from ACORN was sweating profusely above his upper lip as he was speaking on your show today. I have read that is a telling sign of someone lying. He was rude and obnoxious. He continued to interrupt your other guest only to confuse the public and keep them from hearing about ACORN’s dupious practices.
Bonnie

FOX & FRIENDS should stop insulting the Gov of Alaska, without reading the report. Its very bad journalisum to acuse someone without reading the report. All F&F is reading the one headline and that is it. Thats A CNN and NBC thing to do, MSNBC is just saying that the whole thing isnt complete yet and they dont want to draw any coculsion, thats hard to belive. FOX & FRIENDS used to be that way.

Why didn’t you shut that man from Acorn down??!! He was rude, and he constantly interrupted the other man, and yet didn’t want to be interrupted. It was your responsibility to allow the other man time to, at the very least, finish a sentence. You mishandled that interview big time. His microphone should have been shut off!

Aliyson, you did a terrible job interviewing the ACORN jerk and John Fund. It wasn’t an interview. You and John were mugged by that ACORN jerk. Why didn’t you stop his boorish and disrespectful comments? I usually like most of your interviews, but you rolled over and played dead in this one. You owe your viewers and especially John Fund an apology. I was literally screaming at my TV set wanting you to shut that jerk up.

please use the mute button and let everyone have equal time – Acorn’s representative dominated the segment!

SO MUCH FOR FAIR AND BALANCED!!!! I can’t believe it – First you let the ACORN guy run the interview and didn’t let John get two words in. You reported that Palin was guilty – you should have read the report. Now, I just heard you cut off your last guest when he was trying to talk about ACORN. Maybe the 3 of you should just stick to the “fluff” stories and forget about trying to report the news.

Alisyn…I Love your show! I have a money question for your guest.

My wife , after health problems left her job and Before the crash, requested to remove her retirement plan funds and roll them over to a 401K. The date she requested it she had about $29,000 and planned to keep out about $5000 (pay the tax penalty) and roll over the rest. We had planned to put it in a total index fund. Is that still a good idea?. She is 53 years old.

The last two years the Democrates have been in charge,
and they want to point the finger at the Republicans,
whats wrong with this,
Pelsoi, Reid, Dodd, Franks, Franklin Rains, Jim Johnson,
who are connected with Fannie and Freddie,
and ACORN these are corrupted organizations associated with Barak Obama,
then we have Obamas anti American associates,
Ayers Wright, Rezko, Pfleger, Farrakhan,Obama,
who live in the same neighborhood,
just a coincidence,
or Obama has lied about his associates,
thats the question, Obamas judgement.

ALI- please read……important……

YOU should have SHUT up the ACORN/Scott rep. who was so rude to you and John Fund of

Stealing VOTES. He talked and talked and talked so no other view could be heard… and then had to make SOUNDS….like and immature child so that John could not speak.

He was trying to intimidate you (and appeared he did because he got his words out there) and just shut you down. And, Obviously his example of intimidation is what is happening across the country with ACORN.

I am surprised at the non chalant way that you handled the interview with the head of Acorn. If you bring guests to your show, you need to control them better and let each one express their facts. When one is as passionate as the Acorn nut to continuously interrupt the opposing point of view, it is a sign of a hidden agenda. John Fund is a respected journalist and author and after reading the articles he wrote about the Acorn fiasco, it seems that he has done much research to denounce their mission. There is a definite association between the Acorn nuts and Barack Obama and it needs to be exposed. It defines the character of a person when you associate with illegal activities such aa Acorn has and is doing. If you noticed all these associations emanate from the same area, the corruption of Chicago politics for over one hundred years.

McCain Voted To Protect Domestic Terrorists Who Attack Abortion Clinics! Who is the REAL John McCain?

Hey Alisyn,

I’m presently a medical officer in the US Army, I spent a year in Baghdad last year, and I can tell you the professionals of the National Guard are tired of multiple deployments. Many doctors have lost their practices and are getting out of the Army. I guess my point is all branches of our military system want to hear a real exit strategy. The American public wants to hear from John McCain that we are getting out of Baghdad, not how successful we are now because violence is decreased. When I was in Iraq I couldn’t believe the number of contractors there working and rebuilding their country. We are pouring millions of American dollars into a country that hates us, its unbelievable.

We definitely need to keep fighting the terrorist but not the way we are presently doing it. We could win the war on terrorism with far less resources and save billions of dollars. I have a lot more to say but I won’t bore you any longer. Have a great day

The 2000 election was stolen by Bush and it’s about time the GOP got some pay back!

HALLIBURTON!!! HALLIBURTON!!! BUSH LIED PEOPLE DIED!!! BUSH HATES BLACK PEOPLE!!! HALLIBURTON!!! HALLIBURTON!….

COME ON OhioPhil!…..GEEZ….WHAT AN A$$HOLE

Wow some of you people are so rude. I didn’t like the debate between the ACORN rep and John Fund either and yes I do feel Alisyn should have gotten better control of the ACORN rep. HOWEVER, you people talk about someone acting like children? Look in the mirror! You do realize being FAIR and BALANCED means having BOTH sides represented right? I watch Fox & Friends on weekdays as well as on the weekends. They are no more liberal on the weekend then during the week. And I have seen people lose control of their guests on ALOT of shows including the nighttime shows like Hannity & Colmes or Bill O’Reilly. Get a grip people!

I have money in a IRA with Fidelity Investments in a cash account. Is this protected?

The interveiw with Acorn was unfair to Americans and poorly done. If you had him on there to explain fraudulate voter ballots, then he should have been allowed to do so. Instead you put someone else on there changing subject by tossing out alot allegations, distracting from the interview. Leaving people frustrated and confuse. Alot of things thrown out there, but nothing ever resolved or proven as fact. I question your crediability and motives. Next time do yourselves and American people a favor and make it fair and balanced. Don’t muddy the water.

Put a fork in it! The McCain camp is fried!

Alisyn, the spokesperson for the ACORN group is so wrong. I would think by this morning it is quite evident the American people are very concerned about the illegal dealings of ACORN. Whether it be by sloppy accounting measures of their people in the field or by total disregard of the truth and accountability, ACORN needs to quit Spinning and tell the American people the truth. I do not want my taxpayers dollars going to support this group. I don’t know of a single person that does. Win or lose, most of the folks in America want truth and honesty and we want to know our elected representatives are looking out for our country. No more spinning, please control the interviews, do not let the interviewees control you and the interview. Please, give us honesty, truth. Good old American values. Yes, we care deeply and we are watching FOX news and paying attention. Linda

I AM SO DISGUSTED WITH THE INTERVIEW BETWEEN SCOTT LEVENSON & JOHN FUND. ALISYN SHOULD CALL JOHN AND PERSONALLY AP0LOGIZE FOR THE RUDE MANNER IN WHICH SHE ALLOWED THE DEBATE TO BE TAKEN OVER BY SCOTT. SHE HAD NO CONTROL AT ALL. I WILL BE LOOKING AT ANOTHER PROGRAM AFTER THIS. SHE SHOWED NO SKILLS IN SHUTING OFF THAT MICROPHONE TO ALLOW THE OTHER PARTY TO SPEAK. SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND GET OFF THE TELEVISION IF SHE WANTS TO PLAY THE GAME OF INTERVIEWER. SHE LOST THIS LADY.

Regarding the earmark for ACORN that was originally inserted into the Rescue Bill and later removed—I want NAMES–who was responsible for having that earmark originally inserted into the Bill–does anyone know?

Quit beating up on Ali. The producer should have cut the mic, pure and simple. Before he even opened his mouth you had to know he was a condescending (Democrat) jerk since he was representing ACORN. That organization has been corrupt since day one. They are at the forefront of the whole housing meltdown and now they are trying to steal the election. And O has been tight with them for years. ACK! When is this country going to wake up and smell the socialism?

On the “Conflicted Candidate”

Normal Americans are angry. Average Americans are afraid. Americans who are intelligent and thoughtful do not know where to focus that anger or fear. The rallies for John McCain are proving that point. People are trying to rally behind John McCain and begging him to lead them. They need to hear that he agrees that Obama is wrong for our country, that Obama will lead down the wrong path, that John McCain believes like they do, and he is angry also. They need to see emotion and leadership, a fighting spirit. The hero John McCain has over and over said he is. AMERICA needs A LEADER TO FOLLOW.

Alisyn, I am very disappointed the way you allowed your”guest” from acorn to continually interupt your other guest. The man from acorn was even making grunting noises into his mic!!!!! You should have taken charge and had your producer cut his MIC OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leo Hunstiger

FOX & FRIENDS should stop insulting the Gov of Alaska, without reading the report. Its very bad journalisum to acuse someone without reading the report. All F&F is reading the one headline and that is it. Thats A CNN and NBC thing to do, MSNBC is just saying that the whole thing isnt complete yet and they dont want to draw any coculsion, thats hard to belive. FOX & FRIENDS used to be that way

I am dissapointed with Alisyns Acorn interview this morning. Why didn’t you shut Scotts mouth and let John have fair time to state his position? John could barley get a word in without bable from Scott and you didn’t stop him. Couldn’t you engineers have turned off Scotts mike so that John could have responded?
Ray Pander

I was very disappointed and irritated with your interview between the ACORN spokesperson and John Fund. You allowed the ACORN guy to constantly interrupt John and then rewarded him with time by taking it away from John each time he did. It was hardly fair and balanced-very one sided.

How will VAloans be effected by the finanicial crisis? I am a veteranand I am worried about getting a home loan.

How can the segment with the Acorn spokesman be called a debate? He was completely rude and childish. The other participant was never allowed to finish a complete thought because of his constant interruptions. However, he would chastise his opponent for making a feeble attempt at breaking into his turn at speaking. If I’m not mistaken, the Acorn spokesman was in the Fox studio which should have made it easier to control this rude boorish person. If he is the best Acorn has to representative their position, Acorn is surely in trouble.

Allison,
Did you have a motive when you let the creap from ACORN take control of your interview with John?You allowed him to drown out John the entire time. Were you purposely allowing him to show what a creap and a liar he apparrently is? If not, you should really be ashamed of that interview.
Doris from Missouri

her interview was the worst

Hey, Alisyn,

Those guys you work with on Saturday morning look like the Pee Wee Herman twinns!

Alisyn,

I am going to have to agree with the multiple listeners’ comments concerning the interview (that was not a real interview) with Scott Levenson and John Fund.

How humiliating. You call that fair and balanced? What you allowed that corrupt individual to do was no more than criminal. He is most certainly being patted on the back at this time for his superb performance from his other fellow criminals! The entire interview I was yelling into the TV telling you to put that individual in his place!

Why all of a sudden does he come in on a Saturday morning? In the studio? You should never be allowed to perform that type of interview unless you are prepared to handle the situation!

Next time get Megan Kelly, Sean Hannity or someone else!

The McCain camp should get releases signed from the two men who spoke out during the rallies and use them in their ads.

You people beat up on Ali only when Faux News doesn’t side with Republicans!

Alison………you weren’t being “fair and balanced” this AM when you let the Acorn rep go on and on, rudely interupt, make childish sounds and never let your other guest get a word in edgewise.

Dennis, Obama was associated with Ayers in recent years. Nobody is saying he knew Ayers when Obama was 8. As far as doing background checks on everyone we talk to (Are you nuts?) However, Obama is supposed to be so super bright, it seems ridiculous that he didn’t know what Ayers had done.

Good morning ALI,
I have to say that you relly ticked me off this morning when you ALLOWED that a-hole from Acron to keep interrupting John Fund. I am really dissapointed in you. What’s fair is fair and you weren’t.

MARY–above you wrote:

McCain Voted To Protect Domestic Terrorists Who Attack Abortion Clinics! Who is the REAL John McCain?

Please, Mary—tell me what Bill # that was that he voted for it? I’d like to look it up on http://www.thomas.gov.

And, if you can’t tell me where/how he voted for it, then I think you should stop repeating things you’ve “heard”.

I am glad you gave the Acorn rep an opportunity to attempt to share their side of the story. It’s clear that he has been forced to make this presentation to as many news outlets he can, because it is becoming a serious problem for Obama-Biden. By the way he continuously talked over Alisyn and John, it’s obvious that they are guilty of the charges. Keep pressing these folks, and the other pals that Obama has, such as Ayers, Flaggerty, Wright, etc.

“Put a fork in him, he’s done” I f John McCain doesn’t get fired up, move over and let Gov. Palin take over. I’m so tired of Acorn, Congress, Obama-Biden. If Obama is the “chosen one”, WHY do the Democrats have to CHEAT?

Anyone that crawls into bed with criminals, racists, and terrorists to further his political career is not a “decent person”.

Anyone that peddles his influence to corrupt organizations like ACORN and slumlords like Tony Rezko is not a “decent person”.

Anyone that takes tens of thousands of dollars from Fannie and Freddie while they are scamming taxpayers for billions is not a “decent person”.

Is John McCain stupid or just inept?

The interview with the Acorn representative was a joke . He controlled the whole interview by constantly interrupting and never let the conservative side get in any comments. Alisyn totally lost control and let this sideshow continue. I’ve watched fox news every morning for many, many years and this “fair and balanced” approach has blown up in fox’s face. If these liberals are to be on, at least have a moderator who can take charge when they act like the Acorn representative and let the conservative side get a chance to present their view. If Fox news doesn’t represent the conservative side and stand up to these ridiculous outbursts like was done by the Acorn representative and have the Fox moderators like Alisyn control the interviews, I might as well watch the liberal national networks.

really= relly spelling lol

Just watched your interview with Acorn – what a disgrace !!! If you can’t control a guest any better than you did this one, I suggest a different line of work; or better still put the guy on with Bill O’Reilly. How about getting your author back on by himself where he can get his point out without interruption !!!!

What if a foreigner, a married man of 25 with a pregnant wife gets a scholarship to go to an American University. He deserts his wife, meets and has sex with a 17 year old girl. She becomes pregnant and has a child. The married man leaves to enter another school 5 thousand miles away, leaving the parents of the 17 year old to care for the young child. This married man then has more children with his wife and 2 other woman.

This child grows up and writes a book, “Dreams from my Father”, has nothing but praise for his fathers actions, virtues and accomplishments. Praise for the father, brief mention of his mother, grandparents or his step father who raised him, sent him to the finest schools.
I can understand the difficulty of Obama’s situation, but to praise a polygamist and in this day and age, a 25 year old has sex with a 17 year old…..not worthy of praise.

GOOD MORNING,
WE ARE LOYAL FOX NEWS FANS. WE WATCHED ALYISON THIS MORNING AND THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS TOTALLY UNFAIR TO JOHN FUND. SHE WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO SPEAK. WE HAVE DECIDED THAT SHE IS MUCH TOO BIAS IN HER REPORTING AND DOES NOT BELONG CONDUCTING INTERVIEWS ON FOX NEWS. SHE IS MUCH MORE SUITED FOR CNN OR MSNBC. FOX NEWS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FAIR AND BALANCED AND SHE IS NOT FAIR. WE WILL NOT WATCH ANY FOX NEWS PROGRAM WHEN SHE IS REPORTING.
THANK YOU,
RITA RYAN

Alisyn: Your interview left alot to be desired. The representative was very rude! You lost control of the session. His intimidation of Mr. Fund and YOU was unprofessional to say the least. Please, if you are going to have someone on and you know what that person is capable of, be prepared to control your interview. You should have told him what kind of guest he was and shamed him in front of your television office. His clicking and other noises was childlike! I feel very sorry for Mr. Fund who tried to speak and was shut down. If I was him, I would tell you I will not be back for your interviews!

If you lost control of a guest, you have also lost your credibility as an interviewer!

Even though I am very scared of Obama being President, I have to wonder if McCain is really serious about being President. I want to see some fight. Being in Notre Dame country, I want to see some Knute Rockne pre-game speeches. If Obama is elected, he will put this country further in debt in one way, but also reduce funds for the military and defense of this country. We The People MUST not allow this to happen. Stan

OHioPHil:

You are an idiot!

Allison so dissappointed you were totally out of your league!!!You let the acorn man run all over you!!You never let the other side be heard!!Are you showing your true colors???

By the way, I love Fox News and Fox and Freinds but some of these younger generation dudes look goofy! And I am only 44.

FOX & FRIENDS needs new weekend anchors, I hear Dennis Miller is available.

Ali,

I am a registered Democrat. I have been definitely on the fence until the Acorn discussion this AM. Everything that has been reported in the media concerning Acorn’s questionable tactics & activities
were brought to light by Scott, the Acorn representative. He bullied, stone walled, & was totally direspectful of you, John Fuld & the American people. It is clear he & his organization have a great deal to hide. Thank you for the interview. You are professional. I feel you let him dig his own hole, and in doing so shined a much needed light on this very scarey situation. It is hard for me to picture Obama as a trainor. Go McCain!

Thank you again,

Tara

Ms Alisyn,
I was disappointed with the handling of the ACORN interview. You had John on there that could have given us a lot of facts on the ACORN organization. Unfortunately, you allowed Scott to prevent the facts from coming out. I understand giving a person a little rope to hang himself; but not at the expense of providing factual information so people are informed. Scott showed his true colors of being a snake and untruthful.

Tom

Hi,

1. I think Senator McCain, is trying to get people from saying, off with his head, theorist, etc. That is what he represents, integrate, respect for even his opposition. He understands that people want him to be fired, just be respectful. It is wrong for you to say he is conflicted and his camp. is conflicted.

2. Who is this spokesman for ACORN trying to cover, he will not let anyone talk, not last night or this morning. Ally needs to take control and let John even answer a question.Why do you just let this man keep speaking over John and instead of John being able to finish, you go back to Scot. He keeps saying, excuse me John, but you don’t let John say anything.

Obamas camp. do the same thing, it is crysta clear that they were trained in the manner that Ayers had Obama train while he was ACORNS lawyer.

Bettie H Starkville, Ms

By the way, Good-bye Alisyn. You just lost my vote. I thought you were stronger than that. Stan

Amen to Harry’s comments. Everyone should watch the re-airing of “Saving Our Economy. Whats Next?”–it’ll be aired again tomorrow at 5:00pm on FOX. It tells ALL.

Hey Mary, Link or get off the pot.

Alisyn, I can’t believe you let that Scott DOMINATE your interview like that. John Fund couldn’t get a word in edgewise. If you want to conduct a fair and balanced interview, you need to get control of Scott by SHUTTING off his mike. This was pathetic!! Maybe take a few pointers from O’Reilly!

How can we have a president that probably could not pass security clearance due to his affiliations?

Several people have suggesting view articles on the huffington post. Well, all of us know how Fair and Balanced they are, right?

Fox & Friends,

I am a very loyal Fox News viewer and an extremely loyal Fox & Friends viewer. I set my morning alarm clock to watch every Fox & Friends show and 99.99% of the time I absolutely love what you guys do especially Alisyn on the weekends and Brian and Steve during the week. However, I just watched the interview Alisyn tried to conduct with Scott, Spokesman for Acorn, and John Fund. I have seen John on many occasions detailing Acorn’s involvement of voter fraud on Fox. John has been very detailed and thorough in his reporting and should be given more respect then Alisyn gave him during this interview. I am so disgusted with how Alisyn let Scott speak over John every time John was “allowed” to speak and give his point. I was yelling at the TV to tell Alisyn to shut that idiot Acorn spokesman up and give John the chance to rebuttal the ridiculous garbage Scott was saying. That was the worst interview I have ever seen and Alisyn Camerota should never be given an assignment this important ever again. People need to hear both sides of the story and Alisyn went out of her way to be fair and balanced and came out being extremely unfair to John Fund. I may never watch Fox & Friends again when Alisyn is on. She needs to go back to journalism school!

Chris Cross

PALIN IS A FRAUD JUST LIKE ALL POLITICIANS.
To be an “outsider” she sure does act like an insider!
Did any of you really think anything different?

WOW! Busy Blog today….Three days of Ali, don’t know I my heart can take it.

The Acorn spokesman spewed the party line. How can the leadership say “break the law.” But I do not think that they have ever gone on the record and told the various chapters to crack down on the abusers. From everything I have heard, I think these canvassers are paid by the number of registration slips they submit. GEE…submit more…get more pay!!!

If Acorn is under a cloud of investigations in 12 states, there is probably something very very wrong.

It all starts with top leadership!!!

FOX & FRIENDS should stop insulting the Gov of Alaska, without reading the report. Its very bad journalisum to acuse someone without reading the report. All F&F is reading the one headline and that is it. Thats A CNN and NBC thing to do, MSNBC is just saying that the whole thing isnt complete yet and they dont want to draw any coculsion, thats hard to belive. FOX & FRIENDS used to be that way. I wonder what happened, theese guys are to comfy with their job

My, Ohio Phil, are you admitting that Obama is trying to steal this election?

Alisyn TOTALLY blew the interview with the ACORN rep and the guy that was countering his views/statements. The piece was so poorly handled that I can’t even remember the name of the speaker that was on the remote camera location! That’s probably what the ACORN guy wanted. He was successful.

I think you owe it to the other guy to bring him into the studio and let him speak his piece. You obviously invited him to speak but then let the hoodlum from ACORN commandeer the interview. That was not only rude to the other guy but quite rude to the American people that really want to hear what he has to say. The ACORN guy has no business telling me (the American people) that we don’t care about what happened 4 or 6 years ago. We most certainly DO care about what happened in the past, particularly when it deals with ACORN.

Please….get the man back on the show so he can share his info in an uninterrupted fashion.

The guy from ACORN is/was repulsive. And the voter registration issues are a huge factor.

Bob Casey (D-PA) advocated the ACORN earmark in the Economic Stimulus Package.

“Mr. CASEY: “We want to do a couple of things with this legislation, which we know is the Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008. Our Majority Leader, Senator Reid, and our leadership and the members of the Democratic Caucus set it out fairly specifically. A couple of basic things this legislation would have done: first of all, it would have continued what we started in the end of last year, foreclosure prevention counseling dollars, to give money to organizations around the country that are certifiably expert at this, organizations like La Raza. I know the presiding officer knows that group. We know also the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now, known by the acronym ‘ACORN.’ They’re headquartered in Philadelphia. These are organizations which understand what a lender has to deal with but more importantly deal with borrowers when they’re borrowing money, when they’re dealing with the difficulty and complexity of borrowing money. These organizations would have helped even more so than they’re helping now with $200 million more of counseling money. That’s not going to happen right now because of what the other side did; they blocked that money by blocking this legislation.””

Scott Levenson’s performance during the interview convinced me of the corruption of ACORN. As their national spokesman, his frantic efforts to prevent any debate about ACORN’s voter fraud efforts is evidence of ACORN’s culpability.

If I were in charge of the McCain campaign I would open every event with the tape of Rev. Farragut’s message to his audience ….Barack is the messiah…or a timeline and papertrail of his connection to ACORN ….And the fact that he could not hire himself if he should become president because he would not pass the background check
