While the video by James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles seemed to show three ACORN workers advising a prostitute how to hide ill-gotten gains, the unedited version was not as clear, according to a law enforcement source.

"They edited the tape to meet their agenda," said the source.

I wonder if Rush Limbaugh will report this with as much enthusiasm as he reported the initial accusations.

I wonder if Newsmax will cover it.

I see that one of the "conservative activists" who produced the bogus video has been arrested and accused of trying to tamper with a LA senator's office phones. I wonder if Rush will mention THAT.

do tell us. we're all ears :)


I try and look at both sides of any political argument with skepticism and to see what motive a person has for doing what they do. these acorn workers were wrong for giving out very bad advise. as for the legalities of their actions, i cannot say one way or the other.:S

Don't worry. They will. And it will be Obama's fault. You see, in our new socialist society there are no guilty people:D

Your posting record says otherwise.

Purer, it seems, than the CONSERVATIVES who tried to frame them.

What is it about CONSERVATIVES than seems to bring out dirty tricks, viral emails, etc.?

Must have been nothing to it then. I'm betting the 4 ACORN employees who were immediately fired will be re-instated with full back pay and bennies right?

of course they were cleared. ACORN is not necessarily and wholly responsible for radical and errant behaviour by one of its team. A pattern would have to be produced.

That is like have IBM being charged with theft because one of its employees stole somethign while on the job

nice try right-wingers, - but it is sad that both sides have to resort to stupid tactics just ot make the other side look bad.

"Can't we all just get along?"

Why would we want to get along with right wing whackjobs?

I've just been reading some of last year's "Sentence first, trial later" posts about ACORN by mnealtx, rushmc and johndeere. I wonder if they'll now eat a little crow (I doubt it, though).

There WAS a pattern established, they went to multiple ACORN sites, all across the nation and got the same results........

At this point I think they are all full of shit on all sides.....revolution anyone?

Yea it could have been edited for instance they might have told the pimp to donate to charity or go to church right before they told him how to hide his prostitute ring avoid taxes and use illegal immigrants.... They might have edited that out, but they did not put the words in the acorn workers mouth about the illegal dodges. Do a search they went to many sites and captured this stuff.

I care but I know it's all out of our hands no matter what we do or say. politicians are gonna do what ever they want.

there was no pimp ;)

(just a couple of wiretapping nutjobs out to frame whoever they could)



If the employees were clean, there never would have been a 'scandal tape' to release.

you agree with the nutjobs then - good for you ;)

(meanwhile everyone else knows ACORN has been set up - shall i mention what race ACORN best serves and the colour of the 'nutjobs' - no let's look the other way)
