Updated W/ Video: ACORN Organizer Admits To Killing Husband?

Whatever the case, this is going to be interesting to watch unfold far beyond just the Glenn Beck Show. See Big Government.

10:54am: As the audio continues, James divulges his aspirations to run for an elected office someday. In enthusiastic response, Theresa says she speaks with Congressman and Senators every day. She names Senator Barbara Boxer and Senator McCleod, and 62nd district Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter. Theresa says that “Eden’s” prostitution money would be an asset to him in his quest to become a Senator or Representative.

11:01am: Regarding the legislators that she speaks with, Theresa says that they (most likely herself and their ACORN office) are lobbying these law makers in behalf of health care reform. Apparently, this “non-partisan” organization that gets government money for housing assistance is using tax dollars for health care lobbying.

11:15am: Theresa discloses that her ex-husband abused her and “beat the hell out of” her. She then continues to confess, “I killed him . . . . I shot him.” She notes that she had laid some “groundwork” beforehand. When James and Hannah question her as to whether he was abusing her when she killed him, she says that he was not at that moment, but she knew he was going to, she said, “I knew it was coming.”

Update: Unfortunately, this woman is a wack job. ACORN may suffer from hiring her, but unless Beck has more, this isn't going to advance things much because she's so obviously nuts. She could be talking out her azz for all anyone knows. That said, perhaps Beck has more. But I don't see this gal in the video looking like much of a witness of any broader crime. See what you think.

Holy Guano, Batman!

This must be what Beck meant last week when he said someone might go to jail.

The irony....

The DUMBOCRAPS "own" the old media and really think they are controlling the message...the reality is that the new media will bring them and possibly the presidency to its knees!

Doesnt king barry realize the more he talks the lower his numbers go?

[JustOneMan]

Hmmmm...what type of training did the "Community Organizer in Chief" in the white house provide?

[Unscrupulous]

Mom? You said Dad died in Iraq!

Acorn is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This is proof positive that if it's not a partisan group, it is at the very least a political lobby that can NOT maintain 501(c)(3) status, but may have obtained that status fraudulently in the first place.

[Conor Friedersdorf]

This is the best, most entertaining investigative story I've seen in a long while -- I offered kudos to everyone involved before, and it just keeps getting better. It ought to destroy ACORN.

The woman in the video, Tresa Kaelke, has a restraining order against her by her current husband, Ronald Kaelke:

I like the guy across the street who knows the going rates for the black girls.

I figger that the fact that the interviewer, Hannah, brought up the topic of her former pimp being abusive is a hint that the interviewer thought the interviewee, Tresa Kaelke, might run off at the mouth about her own abusive hubby (and his murder). Apparently, the interviewers were well informed about the inner workings of the various ACORN shops and the propensity of the workers there to spill. This has been well planned and prolly aided by inside sources. I gotta believe that the end of this series ties Obummer himself directly to the criminal enterprises in that corrupt organization. Where's the FBI and the IRS in this thing?

[Captain Joe]

I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI was really the source of the information on this case and has been feeding the information to Breitbart for his publication of the mess. I gotta think that it's political suicide for FBI to investigate because of Obama, and that lower levels of the Agency are doing this because it's the only way it can be done without raising flags.

They hired her and have not (so far as I know) fired her. They let her out to meet the public. They do not have anyone else that can take over the interview in that office. That says a lot, right there.

Such as: "Hi! We're nuttier than squirrel-poop! We're ACORN!"

[4merKPer]

Umm, so this is the kind of "whack job" ACORN is hiring to help poor people? A quick google search shows that Ms. Kaelke list herself as "Lead Field Organizer" for ACORN. Doesn't sound like a low-level "dummy" in the organization, but who knows. Should we be give millions and potentially billions to such an incompetent, or possibly criminal organization? Will our hired officials perform their responsibility to the taxpayers?

[Cargosquid]

"Should we be give millions and potentially billions to such an incompetent, or possibly criminal organization?"

Um, We already do. Its called Congress......

"But I don't see this gal in the video looking like much of a witness of any broader crime."

There are lots of real witnesses (see Michelle Malkin's months long ongoing reports). They haven't accomplished anything, nobody's ever heard their names. The point here is, Mrs. Kaelke is who the ACORN management put in place. She's the person behind the counter when you walk in- she is what ACORN consists of. In spite of the media blackout, America is now finding this out.

[joyMc]

Is ACORN just a magnet for shady types with diarrhea of the mouth?

[Darth Venomous]

Well, it _would_ explain Roberta, Wilma Sandover, Michelle Bennett and Hulon. :-)
