Hilarious .... simply hilarious. Lets see...a good analogy might be...a guy walks into my office and says "I want to rob a bank". I say "really?" No problem. I tell them the right bank to hit. Tell him how to talk to the bank manager. I offer to drive the car to the bank. I give them directions inside the bank. Tell them where the guns can be found. Even tell them the teller's name and the combination to the safe.
After awhile...a few days, weeks, whatever (who knows when they figured it out) I say to myself...holy geez... I might be found out for wanting to help bank robbers...what do I do now...AHHH grasshopper....call the police....on them, ummm myself...ummm oh forget it.

You can bet this won't get fair play from the far right Fox Network.

Nice try WhatNuts. Do what the neo cons do and exaggerate the time. It was a couple of days. Sorry the truth ruins the your beliefs. And get a better analogy, something that fits.

Wow! So you're saying that liberals have actually found a person who is only a semi-corrupt ACORN worker....what an achievement!

Q: How many days does it take an ACORN worker to determine if human trafficking and indentured prostitution/slavery of minors is wrong?

A: Two days...for one employee. Never for the rest.

OK, so it wasn't an actual "reporting" to the police. The more interesting story here is that THIS is what the Sentinel chooses to report, rather than the corruption of ACORN.

Pathetic.

it is kind of sad how the media have abandoned their mission to expose corruption and malfeasance among public entities. In the past a show like 60 Minutes or Frontline would be all over this but they won't touch an organization that claims progressive politics as its core mission. The same goes for allegations of racism at Planned Parenthood or the hypocrisy of Code Pink

What kind of fair play should it get? The guy waited TWO DAYS! And then it wasn't so much to report it as it was to ask his cousin how to cover his arse! He still gave them advice! The fair play is that yet another ACORN office shows a willingness to turn a blind eye to lawlessness. What's worse is that they've been proven to be perfectly comfortable with sexual slavery!

Call them what you will. They're outing corruption. They're actually doing their job, in most cases, as journalists!

"National City police said Monday that Juan Carlos Vera contacted his cousin, a police detective, to get advice on what to with information on possible human smuggling."

He contacted his cousin after they didn't call him on his cell phone about the "pick up" and guilt set in. After he didn't get the call, he got scared and worried!

c'mon, now "foxy", aren't they racists, too?...good gracious, you, too, are such a cliche' of the ignorant, loony-left...lemmings all...from what i can tell, fox has people on tv nightly between 8:00 - 10:00, who call themselves, "commentators", which is fair and accurate...over on General Electric-owned msnbc, from 7:00 - 10:00, their air is controlled by "commentators", too, only they call THEMSELVES "journalists", which makes them ALL LIARS!!...msnbc, the de-facto "cheerleading" network of all things democrat and obama, OWNED by g.e., which stands to make billions in easy, corrupt money from the democrats, is more like "pravda" than "pravda"...corrupt from the top down and the best YOU have is "nazi" when describing fox?...you're a bad, sad, OLD and not funny at all "joke" of a person...your agenda has driven you, at least, mad, if not without any moral compass...good luck and God bless!

Daily Horoscope for January 7

Leo

You'll be action-oriented today, Leo. If truth be told, intense physical activity has the ability to soothe you much more than frenzied mental exercise. Invitations to madness are the wrong thing for you, but they are tempting nonetheless. Dig in your heels and do what you know you have to do. When driving this evening, take extra care.
