Mr. Mitchell wrote:
I notice that you have a picture of you and Oliver there. This seems to be fairly common among people who have humiliated themselves before millions of people on shows like the Daily Show — they pretend they were in on the whole thing and it’s all just a big laugh. But it doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of people who know you will *always* know you as a giant asshole. And this will never change. This video will be online forever, haunting you, and superceding everything you have ever done or ever will do. And rightfully so. You deserve it.
The photo he is referring to is a profile photo I posted in Facebook that was taken of me with reporter/comedian John Oliver after the taping a few weeks ago.
Here is a screen grab of the email:
How do I know Dan Mitchell is a reporter for the New York Times? Because when I attempted to block Mr. Mitchell from communicating with me, this helpful information box popped up (another screen grab):
Isn’t it interesting how the New York Times has been using Facebook to attack conservatives? Just two weeks ago it was revealed that New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor went snooping around on Facebook and sent an email to the youngest daughter of Senator John McCain, Bridgette, in hopes of scoring an exclusive interview.
And isn’t it interesting that just today a new news story broke about yet another ACORN employee involved with crack cocaine. Talk about a Bill Ayers moment.
We’ve received quite a few negative comments related to my appearance on “The Daily Show,” but the last thing we expected was harassment from a reporter for the nation’s supposed newspaper of record.
The New York Times is major-league biased. Big time.

(This post updates a previous post.)
I referenced a ton of documents in my Foundation Watch article on the inner financial workings of ACORN, so I might as well make them (and others I found in the course of my research) available online. Here goes:
1. The complaint in Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, et al. v. Wade Rathke, et al., being file number 08-8342, Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, is available as a PDF file here: ACORN v. Rathke. This is the legal complaint filed in Orleans Parish, Louisana, by the dissident “ACORN 8.” This cluster of unhappy ACORNs is upset with fired ACORN founder Wade Rathke’s eight-year-long coverup of his brother Dale’s nearly $1 million embezzlement. The plaintiffs had demanded that ACORN produce documents related to the scandal. ACORN refused and continues to refuse. Reportedly the ACORN board had the action dismissed, arguing that the board members lacked standing to take them on in court.
2. “The Corporate Democracy Act and Big Business Day: Rhetoric vs. Reality” (Heritage Foundation backgrounder, March 11, 1980). It was referenced in my American Spectator article Oct. 31 because it dealt with the disdain that ACORN founder Wade Rathke used to feel for “interlocking directorates.” The feeling passed and he later began using interlocking directorates to exert control over the ACORN empire.
3. Prairie Fire, the book, in its entirety. According to littlegreenfootballs it is the Weather Underground’s 1974 communist declaration of war against the United States. Sorry Billy, terrorist groups aren’t entitled to copyright protection.
4. 1999 ACORN Housing Corp. document, “To Each Their Home: Success Stories from the ACORN Housing Corporation,” in which ACORN brags about undermining banks’ underwriting standards by getting them to count food stamps as income: toeachtheirhome
5. Blog entry, “Obama’s Campaign Lies About ACORN,” by Larry Johnson of “No Quarter” blog. The post lists 294 ACORN-related entities that share the same address: 1024 Elysian Fields Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70117.
6. ACORN document listing some of its sister organizations: acorn-and-sister-orgs-address-list-a-z1
7. ACORN position paper endorsing the Fairness Doctrine: acornsupportsfairnessdoctrine1
8. ACORN’s Louisiana nonprofit registration: acornwww400-sos-louisiana-gov_cgibin_baguypkt
9. ACORN’s Arkansas nonprofit registration: acornwww-sosweb-state-ar-us_corps_search_corps-php_as5nez3j
