This post debunks several liberal myths about ACORN that have emerged in recent weeks — many from Eric Boehlert of Media Matters and Brad Friedman.
POSING AS A PIMP AT ACORN
Liberal Myth: James O’Keefe did not pretend to be a pimp inside ACORN. Instead, he merely presented himself as Hannah Giles’s boyfriend, trying to help her escape from an abusive pimp.
Examples of the spreading of the myth:
O’Keefe pretended to be an aspiring pol, not pimp, in first ACORN vid.
The video implies that the advice about the 13-year-olds was given with the intent of helping a pimp control them. This doesn’t fit the circumstances. In fact, it appears that what happened was that employees were responding to requests on how to get young girls out of sex work, not keep them in.
After not hearing from New York Times Public Editor Clark Hoyt for nearly a week — during which I’d sent him more and more indisputable evidence that Andrew Breitbart employee James O’Keefe never played his infamous “pimp” character in the offices of ACORN — he responded with a couple of blistering charges.
Though he can, perhaps, be forgiven there, given that Harshbarger’s report had not yet come out confirming that O’Keefe neither dressed as a pimp, nor represented himself as such. Rather, O’Keefe told ACORN workers that he was a college student considering a run for Congress someday, and was hoping to help the prostitute actually escape from an abusive pimp.
(Bold is mine.)
[O'Keefe] had dressed like a nice, young, preppie fellow, just trying to help this unfortunate young white girl caught in a bad situation in order to gain the ACORN workers’ trust and compassion. He used his stereotypical innocent, youthful, studiously upstanding looks to create a false impression with the ACORN workers and then turned around and filmed some bogus footage of him dressed in a ridiculous pimp costume to give a false impression to the mostly white audience. It was a very clever way to use racial stereotypes on both groups to get what he wanted.
Dave Johnson at the Huffington Post:
In fact, O’Keefe was NOT “dressed as a pimp.” He represented himself as a candidate for Congress who was trying to help women who were being exploited. He then doctored the resulting videotapes to make it appear that ACORN acted improperly.
Fact: James O’Keefe posed as a pimp. He repeatedly told ACORN employees that he was setting up a house where Giles and underage girls would turn tricks, and give the proceeds to O’Keefe, who planned to use them for a future Congressional campaign.
Let’s take the Baltimore transcript — which is the first ACORN video, and therefore the one where Boehlert denies that O’Keefe pretended to be a pimp. Among other things, we see this:
Tonja: so the type of business okay … the type of business of service you provide let me make sure there is a code for it okay O’Keefe: A code for prostitution? Tonja: Well, yeah I have to have a name and a code number.
and this:
Tonja: they under sixteen so you don’t worry about that, but on the other part of the form you can use them as a dependents because they live in your house they are under 16 and they are living in your house. Well you live in a boat but because you are taking care of them so you can use them as a dependent O’Keefe: What if they are going to be making money because they are performing tricks too Tonja: but if they making money and they are underage then you shouldn’t be letting anybody know anyway.
and
O’Keefe: we want to use a lot of the money that we are getting Shira: you don’t want to use all of it O’Keefe: No I am saying we want to use a lot of the cash for my campaign.
Similarly, at ACORN D.C., O’Keefe and Giles talk about setting up a house for Giles and several El Salvadorean girls who will be working for him. Giles says she will take the money and give it to O’Keefe, who says he is running for a local election. The ACORN worker tells O’Keefe to distance himself from the house of women of the night that Giles will be running because he is in political stuff and the revelation will be bad for him if people learn about the house of prostitution. Here are some quotes from the transcript which (like all ACORN transcripts) is supported by unedited audio:
James: So, I can be the one who ah, I have documentation right? So, I can, I can be the one basically put up the house for it and she can perform tricks in the house.
Acorn 3: Yep.
James: Okay, and well all those girls too? All those, there’s like 10 girls? There’s ten El Salvadoreans. . . .
Acorn 4: If you buy the home, you have no knowledge of what’s goin’ on in that home. He’s just [garble] the landlord.
Acorn 3: You have no knowledge of what’s goin’ on, you just the landlord.
Acorn 4: You have no knowledge of what’s goin’ on, I’m just keeping it real – your just the landlord.
James: I’m just the landlord.
Acorn 4: You’re just the landlord.
James: But, but, but…
Acorn 3: We know she’s your girl friend, but we’re talking about your career. How far you trying to go?
James: I’m using the money that she’s getting, you know what I mean?
Acorn 3: Okay. But you don’t know where its coming from.
Hannah: It’s cash.
James: I, I, I personally know where its coming from.
Acorn 3: Right, but when the police ask you – you don’t know where its coming from – that’s what we’re trying to tell you.
James: All right.
Acorn 3: We’re looking out for you. . . .
Hannah: And I want him to be successful and why I’m working so hard and bringing these girls in so when he does run for office he has unlimited funds.
O’Keefe: . . . we wanna set up sort of like a business to do this type of thing and –
Theresa (ACORN): A prostitution business?
O’Keefe: That’s right. . . .
Hannah (Eden): um I’m kinda familiar with that in Miami, but I also the guy that I’m supposed to be working for here just got a shipment or 12 El Salvadorean girls.
Theresa (Acorn): Oh, really?
Hannah (Eden): They’re between the ages of twelve years old and 15, and if I can, which I think I because I do have some sort of relationship with them.
Theresa (Acorn): Mmm hmm.
Hannah (Eden): in the brief time I’ve come in contact. Would like to take them away from him . . . and use them for me, for myself and also to keep so they don’t have to be subjected to a man . . . who is abusive . . . .
James: So basically we want . . . a house to put them in and we have been trying to go through the other authorities but they have been unhelpful with us because of, you know . . . they just you know they don’t wanna deal with these sex sex girls coming in performing sex they think we don’t wanna have anything to do with that. . . .
O’Keefe: But, one of the things I was one of the things we also wanna do um one of my goals you asked you asked do you know how you wanna do this, I think one of the goals is not only can Eden protect some of these 13, 14, 15 year-old girls.
Theresa (ACORN) Yeah.
O’Keefe: coming over from El Salvador. In addition to protecting them and getting their feet on the ground so that they can you know perform the tricks and you know learn the how LA prostitution scene is I was also wanting to um use some of the this is very lucrative and potentially we can use a lot of the money we’re getting from the underaged girls from El Salvador and use some of the money for campaign one day . . . .
O’Keefe: We’re bringing these girls from overseas.
Hannah (Eden) Well, they’re here.
O’Keefe: But, we are gonna take a part of the profit and I intend to use the profit.
Theresa (ACORN): Right.
O’Keefe: From the tricks the girls perform.
Theresa (ACORN): Right.
O’Keefe: To fund my political campaign.
Theresa (ACORN): Right.
The videos go on and on like that.
Friedman, Boehlert, and others have glommed on to the fact that O’Keefe did not wear his pimp outfit inside ACORN. Pointing to various ambiguous statements or failures to correct others, they have argued that Breitbart and O’Keefe deliberately tried to suggest otherwise. Friedman and Boehlert have yet to explain how O’Keefe supposedly sought to advance this misdirection by showing himself walking into ACORN in a shirt and slacks — in the first few seconds of the very first video released to the public.
I have challenged Boehlert to say clearly whether O’Keefe ever posed as a pimp at ACORN. The offer stands at $200 simply to take a clear and unequivocal position, one way or another. It would take only 10 words and he could collect $200. Yet he won’t do it. Could it be that, if he admits O’Keefe posed as a pimp, he would no longer be able to insinuate that he didn’t by focusing on O’Keefe’s manner of dress?
“INDEPENDENT” REPORT EXONERATES ACORN AND ESTABLISHES MISLEADING OVERDUBBING
Liberal Myth: An “independent report” by a former Attorney General from Massachusetts establishes that the videos have been doctored in a misleading fashion. O’Keefe overdubbed voices to make it appear that ACORN employees were responding to one question, when in fact they were responding to a very different question.
Examples of the spreading of the myth:
You may also not have known that while both independent reports, the other one by the Co micsngressional Research Service [PDF], found no criminal wrong doing by ACORN, they did find that O’Keefe likely the broke the law in at least two states by secretly recording the videos which had voice-overs deceptively edited into them later, “in some cases substantially,” according to Harshbarger’s report, so that it was “difficult to determine the questions to which ACORN employees are responding.”
Boehlert and Brad Friedman have written exhaustively on how misleading the videos were, how they were heavily edited to make it look like employees were answering questions they weren’t actually asked (it seems that a lot of the “tax evasion” stuff was created in editing—employees seem to be talking about strategies to escape an abusive pimp).
Dave Johnson at the Huffington Post:
The investigation offered conclusive evidence that the videos were doctored and that voiceovers were used to make it appear people were saying things they did not say.
Harshbarger also shed light on the controversial videos, noting that portions had been “substantially” edited, including some voice overdubbing. And because O’Keefe and Breitbart refuse to let any outside observers — including journalists — view the full collection of unedited tapes, it’s impossible to tell just how significantly the tapes were manipulated prior to their release.
Fact: The report is by a paid ACORN consultant who did not allege misleading voiceovers, who did not interview the ACORN employees in the videos, who admits that his evidence is secondhand, and who never acknowledges the existence of unedited audio.
Harshbarger did not say the videos were doctored to make ACORN look bad. His report said there were edits and narrative voiceovers — just like in any documentary. It did not say those edits and narrative voiceovers were misleading. Here is the quote from paid ACORN consultant Harshbarger:
The unedited videos have never been made public. The videos that have been released appear to have been edited, in some cases substantially, including the insertion of a substitute voiceover for significant portions of Mr. O’Keefe’s and Ms. Giles’s comments, which makes it difficult to determine the questions to which ACORN employees are responding. A comparison of the publicly available transcripts to the released videos confirms that large portions of the original video have been omitted from the released versions.
In addition, in every case where I have seen a voiceover by O’Keefe, the unedited audio backs up what he claims is being said.
It is not “impossible” to tell what questions ACORN workers are responding to, as Boehlert claims. (Or “difficult” as shill Harshbarger claims.) The full unedited audio is available at biggovernment.com/acorn. You can listen to the unedited audio, compare it to the videos, and hear for yourself that O’Keefe did not overdub voices in a deceptive or misleading way.
For some odd reason, Harshbarger declines to mention the fact that unedited audio is available as to each ACORN visit as to which there is a transcript. Listening to the unedited audio would make it VERY EASY to determine whether there was any misleading editing or overdubbing.
You know: if you actually cared. As opposed to being out to make cheap political points.
Indeed, they used two separate microphones, as this video reveals:
Eric Boehlert has linked Friedman’s post but did not lift a finger to correct Friedman. Remember: Boehlert has repeatedly claimed that O’Keefe “lied” or committed a “hoax” because he did not correct Steve Doocy’s claim about his manner of dress at ACORN. By Boehlert’s logic, Boehlert has himself engaged in a hoax, by endorsing Friedman’s post but failing to correct Friedman’s falsehood.
What’s more, Harshbarger was hardly conducting an independent investigation. He was a consultant paid by ACORN — as independent as a researcher paid by a tobacco company who finds no link between cigarettes and lung cancer.
According to the New York Times, Harshbarger “comes from the liberal, Democratic side of the political divide.”
And he didn’t interview any of the ACORN employees that appeared in the tapes.
We did not interview the employees captured on video, since we were satisfied there was no question that the visits occurred and the comments were made. . . . Hence, all our knowledge about the videos is largely circumstantial and secondhand.
Oh, well, then. You’re paid by ACORN and you didn’t interview the primary people. You want to raise questions about possibly deceptive editing — yet justify your failure to interview the principals by saying you are “satisfied there was no question that the visits occurred and the comments were made.”
Yup, no credibility issue there!
ACORN ADVICE ABOUT AVOIDING PAYING TAXES
Liberal Myth: ACORN employees never advised O’Keefe and Giles to avoid paying taxes. They simply tried to help the two pay their taxes.
Examples of the spreading of the myth:
None of the workers they spoke with who had tried to help them had advised “evading taxes” as the wingnut crew would have you believe .. .
Friedman, in a letter to Clark Hoyt:
Your contentions are clearly (and understandably) biased by the videos which offer a very different picture from what actually happened in those offices, according to the transcripts. I’ll not continue this already long email by detailing specifics of how, except to say that, contrary to what I read as your impressions, in every office the workers advised the pair that they must legally pay their taxes (not hide the income as you suggest), no matter where it comes from.
In fact, in every ACORN office seen in the Breitbart/O’Keefe vidoes [sic] — as understood only by reviewing the text transcripts, since the videos are so purposely misleading on this point — ACORN employees advised that Giles must pay taxes, even if the income was gained through illegal prostitution. No ACORN employee ever advised the pair to “avoid paying taxes” as so many who fell for the hoax have described.
*Correction: I originally wrote that ACORN workers provided advice on how a prostitute could avoid paying her taxes. That’s incorrect, and I regret the error.
Boehlert and Brad Friedman have written exhaustively on how misleading the videos were, how they were heavily edited to make it look like employees were answering questions they weren’t actually asked (it seems that a lot of the “tax evasion” stuff was created in editing—employees seem to be talking about strategies to escape an abusive pimp).
Fact: ACORN employees advised Giles and O’Keefe on strategies to evade taxes.
Let’s go to the Baltimore transcript again:
Tonja: No you have to pay taxes on the money you make
O’Keefe: Is there any way around that though
Tonja: Yeah don’t file them and you continue doing cash
Or San Bernardino:
James: What about the money situation like the eh if I wanna use some of this money for my political campaign. How can, how can I start thinking about this long term so that I don’t get caught with the Feds or something like that?
Theresa (ACORN): Okay. I think- in my business it it was mostly cash.
James: Okay.
Theresa (ACORN): All right. It’s a cash business.
Hannah (Eden): That’s what we’re doing.
Theresa (ACORN): So you only claim enough to you you can’t . . .
Theresa (ACORN): do you? Yea yea well and and we at that time I made 15 grand and they made ten and thats a lot of money for a week, well for six days,
Hannah (Eden): no kidding
Theresa (ACORN): and that was paid up front in cash
James: did you declare it all?
Theresa (ACORN): I didn’t declare a dime no—It’s cash
THE PHILADELPHIA VISIT
Liberal Myth: Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe did not represent Giles as a prostitute in Philadelphia.
Examples of the spreading of the myth:
In the video (seen at right), Russell explains what happened when O’Keefe and his partner Hannah Giles — seen dressed similarly to a prostitute in the edited videos from other cities where O’Keefe carried out his campaign — came in for an interview in her office. “They never said that she [Giles] was a prostitute, and he was not dressed in any usually flashy manner,” Russell explains.
Fact: A video shows that Giles was identified as a prostitute.Indeed, the released video shows that ACORN worker Katherine Conway Rcssell went on TV and lied about a) whether prostitution had been mentioned; b) whether Giles and O’Keefe were kicked out; and c) whether she gave any help to Giles and O’Keefe.
Friedman is aware of this. I told him about it on a radio show hosted by Larry O’Connor. He has failed to correct the falsehood.
These are just some of the myths, and just some of the evidence. I spend the time compiling it because I am sick of seeing history rewritten.

Outstanding work, as usual Pat. You are a national treasure.
Now, where is that clever little alpaca?
(by the way, I want to apologize for all those sweaters I wore in my youth…it was an Arnold Palmer phase I went through. Sorry, Retracto…it won't happen again).
"These are just some of the myths, and just some of the evidence. I spend the time compiling it because I am sick of seeing history rewritten."
As Citizens, we all ought be cognizant of this phenomenon. It is appalling what is currently being orchestrated. The old adage of "only believing none of what you hear, and only half of what you see" is certainly applicable in this new Bizzaro World.
Welcome to ROOM 101……….
Was the video doctored?
This ACORN bunch has always been corrupt in their voter registering campaigns to elect only Dims with the aid of cartoon characters and the dead,
The style of clothes and the way someone is dressed is nothing but a poor smoke-screen excuse to cover what the ACORN employees actually said and the lengths they were willing to go to break the law.
The ACORN Community Organizers (OBAMA PEEPS) could have been dressed like NUNS and James and Hannah could have been attired in togas. The encouragement to break laws and give tax evasion instructions is the issue, not the clothes.. DUH…
Shhhh.
Be quiet. Sit down and shut up.
Whats the matter with you, applying common sense and logic? Don't you know that is contrary to the ACORN biddness model, and modus operandi?
That was an early misinformation out by ACORN along with it was an isolated event and that the visits were uneventful at other attempts, then came the tapes from other visits.
CL…
We're all hoping to see their biddness model de-funded and shut down…
They are one galling bunch…a very annoying burr under my saddle…
and to think Obama was spawned there…
Looks like they believe what they want, and spin the best possible explanation that makes the crooked ACORN workers look like saints and O'Keefe the crook.
The problem is it seems like both sides are lying here….can't ever trust media.
Can we get full, unedited tapes of all of the visits, please?
Need to get the point across that O'Keefe posed as a pimp to continue racial stereotypes. We understand. It's not bad enough that you have to slander an organization with heavily edited and doctored videos but you also have to desperately appeal to racists by furthering O'Keefe's lie that he was dressing up as a "Disney style" pimp and then edit the videos to deceive viewers into believing this "Disney style" pimp costume was used in EVERY video when in truth, it was never used. Bottom line when appealing to a bunch of racists with pimp blacksploitation style videos…YOU LIED!!!
and got caught. AGAIN!
Oh goodie!
Syntax_game II is here again…
SG you are a fine example of what happens when the criminally insane lead the mentally ill!
Sounds like someone is a little upset that his opportunities for hiring the services of fourteen year old El Salvadoran girls has been hindered. Poor thing.
Interesting article.Thanx.
Syntax_game II:
Yes, how evil of us for having set up poor, innocent ACORN, whose operatives would never have dreamed of defrauding the American taxpayers without the relentless goading of O'Keefe & Co. And since you were caught red-handed, how unsuprising and typically liberal of you to play the race card in the first half-microsecond! Liberals aren't intelligent enough to offer any other argument than race-baiting. They trumpet "Gonzo Journalism" for decade after decade, and then cry like babies whenl someone else turns it against them.
Sorry Sin-Tax, try as you might repeating lies does not make it truth. No lies, no video editing, no doctoring. The only thing that is boring to me is the continued attempts to portray Hannah and James as being dishonest by the very people who support the dishonesty of ACORN.
As to the recent court decision, I do not view the decision as lending ACORN or the people in the tapes any credibility at all.
I guess that it would be the same if I were to be able to secretly tape a meeting of a group of bank robbers discussing how to pull off their next heist. The fact that it is not a video of an actual bank robbery simply means that the crime of bank robbery was not recorded in that video. It does not mean that the people in the video did not commit such robberies in the past or that they are not actually going to commit one in the future, it just means that a robbery is not on that video. As a police officer once told me, "I cannot arrest someone for a crime that they have not yet committed".
What the videos do show is how much ACORN was willing to help it's community create new jobs, even if the job was one of being a prostitute, help people locate and purchase a new house, even if the money to do so came from illegal means.
They show ACORN doing business as usual.
Anybody ascribing a pimp with a race is themselves racist.
EDITOR- please note, the text of the article runs beyond the right border of the page. Thanks.
Shiniqua in Detroit
All the comments here sounds like a bunch of ACORN hateing republican racists. They despise anything ACORN does that helps the people, like Obama do all the time..
Mr Jimmy Carter is the kind of president that Obama is trying to be like..Helpful to the peoples that cannot seem to make it in a white world. sorry, but the roots of slavery goes real deep in the attitudes of the present day Negroes.
I only hope Obama gives ACORN enough money to help his peoples in De-Troit. We are really hurtin' here. Nobody has a job that amounts to much.
So we is forced to sell everything from drugs to our asses in order to make it. Even with the help of Obama and ACORN, the democrat governor and the democrat mayor..You’d think wit all these democrats in charge, all us black folk be rich by now…
Do you work for ACORN??
If you don't , you could…
It looks like the marching orders to keep shouting “racist” were true. Look at all the race baiting so far.
It’s odd, to me, that criticism of ACORN is “racist”. While, ACORN willingness to assist in the exploit of poor dark skinned illegal immigrants is …..noble?
What a strange world some people live in.
Siniqua has to be a parody.
Breitbart hasn't covered it because it is Birther crap that is now being pushed by the Left. Team Hillary started this garbage as a smear against Obama. Pretend it was real and then ask yourself if Hillary could/would have let it go?
It won't be that easy to tarnish Breitbart and the Tea Party people. But, do keep trying. It means you care.
The acorn ladies didn't blink an eye as they advised a guy how to setup a location for a sex SLAVE operation. It show you where the heart and mind of acorn might be………
There is no way Eric Boehlert and Brad Friedman can actually believe what they are writing. The videos speak for themselves and if indeed they were doctored, the story would have been over by now. These guys love to fuel the conspiracy fire to their fellow lunatic followers.
I was hoping nobody would come by and post anything negative. I was wanting him to come back and respond. It is like fishing, you need to give them plenty of line to run, before you haul them in…….
Shiniqua, if indeed you are serious, I recommend taking some English classes. Your grammar skills are horrible.
"wit" is not a word. You live in Detroit and can't even spell it right. You must be a moocher.
Capitalists………..
Good lord, what a babbling idiot. He obviously didn't ever read the article. Way to parrot those talking points, zombie boy!
I think you are the racist one. You are implying that the Acorn workers lack the intelligence to spot a "Disney style" pimp suit. You are one sad sack. Please don't have kids, and go seek out a vasectomy ASAP. Are all the members of Congress who voted to stop funding ACORN racists too? What about all the people who voted against Obama?
57,212,032 racists, guess we have a lot of work to do.
Cowboy Logic, you are either a liberal trying a false flag operation, or an immense retard. Either way, take a hike.
Syntax
Is you stupid or what?
The clothes dont make the man but the f**kin ENGLISH words make the F**kin' CASE…You dig fool??
Syntax
and Ron Paul be a f**kin' loser like you…
Palm boy your ebonics ain't worth a shit.
As I told you befoe I'm from Detroit, you sound like you are re from the Hamptons…
Looks like the work of Jamesb, Randy12 or CowboyLogic…
I'm betting on the Cowboy…
Pretty good parody, had me until the last paragraph…
Oh really now. So having unedited audio isn't enough? Nice try, Beak.
POTUS40
Listen fool, I does the best I can wit what I gots. I am a product of Detroit schools 'till the 6th grade.
I gots 3 kids so I be real busy all de time.
And I am a welfare single mother, moocher I guess
You folks keep workin', so we in de-troit, can git them trickle down taxes we need so bad.
Bil
I told you awhile back you was a bore and you still is..always pompus and pontificatin', boring…
Thank you for assembling all the data in one place. Now when we get those Liberal trolls who claim that there is "no unedited tapes" or that ACORN has been cleared of wrongdoing, we have a place to send them (understanding of course that they'll never admit they're wrong, even if Bertha Lewis came out tomorrow and admitted everything).
Manj88
You lame and boring…
Definitely a parody, and a pretty ignorant one at that. Sadly, the tool who did it will never admit it.
"Stands for 'Corn, collards and coons."
Wow….that's just stunning how you can revel in your ignorance like that. Gee, Conservatives need more rocket scientists like you to show what a great movement it really is. {/sarcasm}
I read it and chuckled…I guess I'm ignorant…
That's up to you to decide. I stopped laughing at white people making fun of black people for being ignorant when I was about 10.
It's only slightly humorous in light of the subject here…You know, ACORN…Leave it there…
I think there needs to be a better, more coordinated effort to gather this kind of information. I remember when the O'Keefe in New Orleans story broke, that the Liberal trolls came here in droves and virtually every post talked about the ACORN tapes all being edited and the conspiracy to make them look bad. If we have a place with that knowledge concentrated, then we can answer those claims immediately and force them to switch their arguments (or go away, which is more likely).
That YOUTUBE vid must have been Shinequa's Inspiration ! That's funny(sad)…Thanks..
Hey Syntax, aren't you going to whine about there being no unedited tapes? Oh wait, you can now find the unedited tapes. Make sure you get back to me after you have listened to them to let me know what was edited out of the videos.
I agree. Lack of education is incredibly sad, and a very real fact of life. It exists in all communities, but is especially prevalent in the African American community in the poor areas. There was a great (but sad) column at Big Hollywood by a Black Conservative who told a story about his son telling him that the "king of the blacks" in his grade school was a kid who had been held back, had violence issues, and was generally an idiot. It makes you wonder how we are ever going to fix the problem in this country.
Still, I strongly object to White people trying to make that parody. Maybe I'm too sensitive, but I find it seriously offensive (and it reinforces the stereotype that Republicans are dismissive of the Black community). Perhaps it's just a lack of skill on the part of the poster to be more clever with his parody.
BTW, we need the same thing with the Global Warming debate. There is so much information out there that it's virtually impossible to make a counter argument to a Liberal who simply posts links to scientific studies. How is a layman supposed to read a scientific paper and have any idea if the person's facts are legitimate or not? There is a lot of counter information out there, but not all of it is legitimate, so trying to argue with a GW zealot is a minefield. One un-sourced comment and the rest of the argument is them saying you have no credibility.
"You are implying that the Acorn workers lack the intelligence to spot a "Disney style" pimp suit" — Well that's the lie that's been exposed their Grand Dragon. They lied about dressing up as a pimp. They lied and doctored the videos to carry a racial stereotype "appearance" and as before on numerous occasions, got caught red-handed telling yet more lies upon lies upon lies.
"Are all the members of Congress who voted to stop funding ACORN racists too? " — No, just the racist ones. The ones who voted to defund ACORN for fake, doctored race-baiting videos and then voted against women serving their country from being able to seek criminal prosecution and justice for being victims of sex crimes like the woman in Iraq who was drugged, gang-raped and left for dead in a transport container. I guess the rapists should have been black to get those "yea" votes.
Shiniqua, I completely understand why you would dislike the founder of the Tea-party movement. Most tea-baggers hate the guy too. He actually walks it like he talks it unlike most of these tea-bagger pansies.
Conservatives want the best for everybody, inc Blacks. But what gauls most of us, it their blind alligence to the Dimocrats.
Esp in light of the PlannedParent-in-the-Hood black baby abortion mill revelations and the terrible schools, Dimocrat FUBARS. . Think the voting block will change one iota? Not likely…
Hey, never know…Maybe Shinequa is Walter Williams…..
The DA in NYC has the unedited tapes and discovered they were edited to support a political agenda. Smart people already knew that months ago but you bubble people won't catch up on that for quite some time. Racists don't like it when they get caught lying about black folk.
Yeah, they get a rise out of predictable min-pins like you and right on cue. LOL
MMMMMMMMBIRTHER!!! Daffy Duck and Alex Jones are here.
How much money were defrauded out of?
Repeating lies is what's been exposed…AGAIN. You just don't see it because the difference between ignorance and stupidity is ignorance is CHOOSING to be stupid. Not wanting to see it because the people taped were black and racist don;t like it when regular Americans expose they're race-baiting lies so the racists still have to defend the lies no matter how much it's been exposed as a lie.
ACORN has been convicted of everything under the Sun on these websites but yet never been convicted of anything in the real world. Guilt by repeating they're guilty even though they have never been found guilty of anything.
Don't project your racist sociopath ideology on me. I am not a racist who fabricates guilty convictions based on heavily edited and doctored videos and "pimp" stereotyping lies for America's lowest common denominator to suck up as gospel. That's you!
Do you need some Jiffy Pop to go with that tinfoil hat?
Why don't you just listen to the unedited tape for yourself? Could you please link the article where the DA claims the unedited tapes are actually edited? I'd love to read that for myself.
And the idea was Giles and O'Keefe's so by your standards, Giles and O'Keefe are excused from your condemnation why? Because they're white? Racist!
Hi Plains drifter? Does the great Clint Eastwood know you desecrate his image on a website that had 15 fisting articles? Don't think Mr. Eastwood is your type of fella…fella. LOL
The DA in NYC had an unedited video tape that Mr. O'Keefe apparently turned over to them. The unedited video proves that it was all agenda driven. Shut off from the outside world are ya? Too bad. In our world, black folk can vote. Boo hoo on you. Need another fisting article champ to ease your pain?
Palm Tree
We're always coming back when these bogus ACORN videos and the lying scumbags behind them get exposed for their race-baiting lying, thieving stealing, hypocrisy. And the videos used to expose them are not edited and doctored. When the truth is on your side, you don't need to doctor or edit videos now do ya? Boo hoo hoo.
From todays NY Post :
"The video that unleashed a firestorm of criticism on the activist group ACORN was a "heavily edited" splice job that only made it appear as though the organization's workers were advising a pimp and prostitute on how to get a mortgage, sources said yesterday.
The findings by the Brooklyn DA, following a 5½-month probe into the video, secretly recorded by conservative provocateurs James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, means that no charges will be filed.
Many of the seemingly crime-encouraging answers were taken out of context so as to appear more sinister, sources said."

Folks, 'Syntax_game II' and 'Shiniqua in Detroit ' are professional trolls. They have absolutely no regard for truth and will say or claim anything – no matter how idiotic it is – because they are "disruptors." Their posting handle says it all. Notice how quickly they went for the oldest fascist trick in the book? When you have no facts at your disposal and may loose the argument, just call the enemy a racist bigot. WHATEVER you do (the rule says) DO NOT argue facts. Ensure the argument deteriorates to name calling, something 'Shiniqua' does in his/her oh-so-cute vulgar way and 'Syntax' does a little more genteelly (but not much).
They are not interested in truth or justice. Their ONLY aim is to disrupt, cause confusion and anger and then leave the forum in as much disarray as possible. The best thing any poster can do here is simply IGNORE THEM.
I thought you liked Ron Paul? You sure sound like a liberal to me.
So what exactly is the reason for not releasing the unedited videos? I don't think I've ever read any excuse given for that.
Anyone got a reason beyond "screw the MSM ! " ?

Anyone who doesn't think a "pimp" outfit like the one in the videos is a black stereotype is either stupid , lying , or 14 years old.
I' m a moderate leftist and yes, I like Ron Paul. Honest politicians are very rare on both sides and I think it's hilarious that Dr. Paul won the CPAC straw poll.

You homophobe!
What did they say? According to the Brooklyn DA, the tape was heavily edited and these "honest" folks here and the obedient followers (you) won't allow for the rest of us to see the tapes unedited. Truth is on your side than you should have nothing to hide right? But then this happens:

And real gonzo journalists don;t edit videos. That makes us frauds.
Was if Jack Nicholson in the movie "A Few Good Men" who said "You can't handle the truth!" These lemmings were given a neat story wrapped in a racist ribbon. It starred all American white kids fooling and exposing black people and those that help black people. They didn't care if it was true. The never questioned if what they were being told was honest. They never questioned why the videos were edited. They never questioned why they kept getting caught in lie upon lie upon lie with these tapes. They just wanted to see blacks get their comeuppance at any cost and hid their racism behind the illusion of journalism.
Bite me fool
Oh this is interesting, and how many times did I read on here about the "criminal" Acorn enterprise:
"Breitbart walks back claims of "criminality" by ACORN
In a March 2 Twitter post, Breitbart wrote:
ACORN tapes were less about 'criminality' than facility with which employees all knew how to work system for any lowlife wanting govmnt $.
So I guess your answer is " I don't know why they won't release the tapes so I'll just toss out a little sarcasm"
The answer is, it's new day, your strange little obsession is a joke. ACORN is losing.
Andrew Brietbart, and the TPM is coming, to kick your little commie pinko asses.
hehehe.
Collusion to commit fraud on the federal government should be a crime.
THIS IS A MUST READ. WHY HASN'T BREITBART OR OTHERS COVERED THIS HUGE STORY?
http://www.thepostemail.com/2010/03/02/was-there-...
IN 2006, LAWYER WORKING FOR LAW FIRM WITH TIES TO OBAMA FLOATED THE IDEA OF A “TAKEOVER” OF OUR GOVERNMENT BY A FOREIGN POWER
by Sharon Rondeau
The Chicago-Kent School of Law is affiliated with the Illinois Institute of Technology
(Mar. 2, 2010) — It is no wonder that Sarah P. Herlihy is an associate attorney specializing in litigation at the Chicago law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP. On its website, the firm displays that it was “named to the ‘Global Elite.’”
Herlihy graduated from the prestigious Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2005 and is the author of an essay published in the Chicago-Kent Law Review on Feb. 22, 2006 entitled “Amending the Natural Born Citizen Requirement: Globalization as the Impetus and the Obstacle.”
Kirkland law partner Bruce I. Ettelson lists to his credit having been a “Former Member of finance committees of U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Richard Durbin.” The law firm employs literally hundreds of attorneys who specialize in the areas of intellectual property, anti-trust and competition, corporate and tax, and “community service.”
Herlihy’s essay was widely disseminated on the internet during the 2008 presidential campaign as rumors surfaced that Obama and possibly McCain did not meet the “natural born Citizen” requirement laid out in Article II, Section 1, paragraph 5 of the U.S. Constitution. Various bloggers noted that the author of the piece was employed at a law firm which had forged connections with Barack Obama, then-senator from Illinois. The original document can be found on Bing and Ixquick search engines, but not on Google. Follow the link to read the entire story, you will be shocked!
Racist.
ACORN partners elements of sleezy unionism (is there any other type?), corrupt community activism, and far-left radical politics all dedicated to stealing the hard working taxpayers money — politicians like Obama are merely their happy-faced enablers.
I just looked at all 5 of the links you posted and couldn't find a single mention of the full versions of the tapes being edited. In fact the only 2 points made were 1) there was no criminality and 2) the first tapes released were edited. The first is subjective and the second is freely admitted in the article above.
So, we are back to the original question from Des_ — Where can we find an article where the DA claims the full versions of the tapes (available at biggovernment.com/acorn) were actually edited?
And not one of them says what you said it does.
Be careful what you wish for, syntax. Releasing the unedited videos (and there's no reason to suspect that they'd depict anything different than the already released unedited audio; they both come from the same source, the camera) would be a great way to refocus attention on the Democrat party's little helpers closer to the November election.
DES
It does not end here…These folks care NOT about truth …only the destructive agenda…Talk about grasping at straws..
Yes.
They are the only ones that you respond to.
Obvious racist?
Give me a break.
You wouldn't know obvious if it hit you in the ass.
It's a typical tactic of the Left…spin, twist, and even make up new facts regardless of how ridiculous it sounds.
No amount of spin or made-up facts from the Left will cover up the fact that ACORN is a corrupt organization.
A lie is a lie. To carry a stereotype of race-baiting to appeal to the most racist of ignorant "fools" in this country serves it's purpose for the handful of morons who actually care. You do understand the term "stereotyping" there "Shiniqua"? Of course you do.
Don't you just love it when the defenders are so stupid, they end up proving the point they're trying to defend. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Off your meds a little early this week, aren't you?
Breathing and walking are a little challenging for you, huh?
I'm sorry.
I'm sure there's an Ivy somewhere that can teach you.
They don't. So what is it troll boy?
You gonna answer the question, troll boy?
C'mon…quit being a pussy, troll boy.
As are zombie trolls.
C'mon, answer the question, troll boy.
That Brooklyn DA is a member of the Working Families Party, an ACORN front group. Yeah, that's an unbiased authority.
Responding to these two trolls is a big waste of time for all of us. Syntax and Shiniqua are the true racists – using stereotypes and already-tired Alinsky tactics to drag people into a ridiculous and time-wasting volleying of comments. These can be taken out of context and reposted at MediaMatters or Salon or wherever these subhuman douche bags post.
Don't even bother with them. There are "syntax_game" type trolls at other message boards and comment sections – across the nation – all the way down to the local level.
They all use the same type of ID/screenname – probably as a note to other libtard trolls – with an underscore between two words. These are usually Latin terms, BTW, or they use characters from literary works like "Holden_Caulfield".
This is a trick they've actually learned from Nigerian 419 scammers, who would leave "markers" on guest books where they'd farmed email addresses for scamming. ("MUGU KEEEEP OFFF! I BE HERE DEY!" was a common marker – with an ID containing the word mugu — a Nigerian slang for stupid. person.)
This is part if Syntax_Game's game…. if you are a moonbat troll, you needn't post if you see another libtard with a similar name – he/she has it covered.
The next tactic will be for S_G to dare me to prove it – but I've already wasted enough time on this.
There are more important things to do rather than deal with these useless idiots.
Just because you continue to spew baseless lies? The old days of polite silence are over, lefty liar. We're calling you lying bastards on them, every time.
Incidentally, your Race Card account has been closed for excessive over-limit charges.
Your short bus is here, troll.
You a post-impressionist poop painter, are you?
or just a troll.

"I see where Acorn hired ex Massachusetts attorney general to do an internal investigation of which I'm sure acorn people paid him very well and he came to a conclusion that the accorn employees who were fired did no wrong.
No crime was committed, was the way he put it. Acorn is now breaking up into a bunch of different names so the American people will not know it is them.
This is what this president does when ever they are caught and get bad publicity. He moved his czar Van Jones when he was found out to be a communist. Note he moved him to another spot. He didn't get rid of him.
The president has a long history of working with Acorn even though he lies and says he worked with them once. This accorn group is a big part of his plan for the future so his people will now disguise this group under different names, so they can still funnel big money to them".

I see that, as usual, despite the incandescent words from both sides, that at the end of the day Breitbart has the facts, and his detractors just insults.
The astounding amount of open misinterpretation that the leftists need to even *have* any argument at all about this might be ignored to people as small and with such clear issues as they are… but people from outside can see this pretty plainly. Hint: this "did he wear a pimp suit or not" doesn't even rise to the level of *half-assed tertiary point* as far as criticism goes.
Breitbart is getting to them. Keep it up. You're behind us when we're fighting… we'll be behind you when you do!
Can you tell me when he lied about it?? Anyone who watched the video were able to clearly see what he was wearing. How is that a lie? Did you not watch the videos?
Posts like this are important so that the truth can be preserved. It's going to be an uphill battle with the Left being so accustomed to not only getting the first hit in, but then erasing all knowledge of the event by controlling the history books, too. The internet is a serious threat to their whole outlook, because it means that they can't bury the evidence any more — the bodies just keep coming back to life. I love it, and thank you, sir.
I don't think I've ever seen a more thorough PWNAGE of the left wing loons' lies. Well done.
Oh cute! palmtree is using the old "John Gotti was acquitted a dozen times before finally getting nailed" defense. I guess since ACORN hasn't gotten nailed for the O'Keefe tapes YET they're in the clear.
Nevermind the dozens of convictions for voter registration fraud, etc in multiple states.
So O'Keefe is looking at 5-10 years in federal prison and now the NY ACORN probe has been dismissed because the video was EDITED to make ACORN look bad.
No WONDER Breitbart has been shrieking like a maniac lately. He's terrified he's going to prison and will have to share a cell with inmates who once benefited from ACORN's efforts.
The tape was edited, Mr Giles should go to prison
So THIS is an example of today's alternative media? MAKING UP stories?
Breitbart, you've got about as much credibility left as those two guys who said they had a Bigfoot in a freezer. Hope you enjoy life on the streets, because you won't have a DIME to your name after ACORN wins its libel suit against you.
2009 was the year of the ACORN "scandal." Looks like 2010 us the year it's all exposed as a third-rate hoax. Yet you and Fox News fell for it!
The first rule of journalism is to GET IT RIGHT. In your zeal to bring down the Left, you forgot this crucial point. Now you must pay the piper.
what I don't understand it why brietbart doesn't just post all the unedited videos in full. I know the site is capable of hosting or embedding them, and it seems to me that would be the most efficient and direct way of clearing all this up once and for all.
Where's the "racism"? Explain, please.
All in due time, troll. All in due time.
Didn't read the article, huh?
Oh, O'Keefe is racist … *yawn* we're onto that one, troll. If you have to throw out the race card, you've already lost your argument. You might as well claim that O'Keefe is comparable to Hitler.
ACORN is innocent the same way a sex offender nailed by a cop pretending to be a 13-year-old online is innocent.

troll? why am I a troll? for requesting information? For seeking the full, unedited truth? That makes one a troll?
and furthermore, why the hold up? is there any particular reason for that?
Well , I don't really know why for sure , but I'm going to guess that Breitbart doesn't even have the unedited tapes. Only O'Keefe does, and he is not going to release them because then everyone would see all the dishonest editing he did.
This was too long.
Hey Cowboy,____Visit____http://21stcenturyteaparty.wordpress.com/____leav... your email address in a comment, I would like to talk with you. The comment will not be publicly visible, I will not approve it.
Raining trolls today… Run your mouths all you want trolls, facts is facts. I was there when the Acorn scandal started (and many, many others were too) and will never forget the videos, the coverage, the supporting reports and interviews, etc. etc. Try to twist it, try to rewrite it, it really isn't going to work. We are awake. God bless you, James, Hannah, and Andrew. And thank you for the reminder, Patterico!
ACORN can easily resolve the issue, file a law suit based on the above mentioned claims. Until then the tapes are no different than that used by any other media outlet. Remember that when you watch the "voice over" by your favorite news presenter and the editing done by their staff.
Fecal Matter for America is full of left wing trolls who dont have an ounce of courage to speak the truth
and if ACORN was mostly Italian Americans, they'd have been indicted in NY months ago !
Interesting how far out on the branch the radical left is going to protect ACORN isn't it ? Even the unleashing of this red-troll storm speaks to how important ACORN is to the radical left. The blatantly coordinated fiction being woven in the attempt to confuse and distract the sheeple is very risky. The modern media environment makes these types of leftist-MSM techniques akin to IED's that blow up on the bombers while trying to set the fuse.
Typically tho the intent is to sow some plausible deniability and confusion amongst the sheeple who then ignore the rebutal that will come later. Here is the screenplay as written:
1. Ignore the original story as much as possible. The fewer sheeple exposed to the leftists hypocrisy and evil the better.
2. Attempt to discredit the storys actors by smear and innuendo. Spread this far and wide on every media outlet available.
The sheeple don't need to know who or why, just what: "This person is evil, a racist in fact, ignore and hate them".
3. Weave a lie or distortion "debunking" the original story. "The big lie" works here because of the all-media focus. They want the sheeple to hear the lie several times from several sources: creates credibility.
4. Ignore the rebutal to the lie told in #3 in order to minimize the exposure of an alternate "truth" to the sheeple.
5. Initiate an attack on your enemy to put them back onto the defensive and shift the focus of the sheeple. Look out B.
How many times have I watched American mass media pull of this sequence of events ? More times than I can count.
I dont know what y'all watched….But the clip of 'PimpMan' dressed in his outfit on Fox and Friends not refuting Doocy's assertation that he was dressed in the 'exact garb' in which he scored these videos is damning. He should have corrected it then, but did not. This is just as bad 'the definition of is', IMHO
The full audio is available at BigGovernment.com
Only a troll like you (and palmtree below) would keep asking a question that has already been answered.
The argument that O'Keefe wasn't presenting himself as a pimp because he wasn't wearing the movie pimp outfit is ridiculous.
The only time I saw prostitutes on a street "working" they didn't look like television prostitutes either. Maybe sometimes they do, but the ones I saw (and yes, I do know they were working) weren't dressed sexy, they were dressed squeeky clean… as in… clean, pressed and starched blouse and jeans. The important message being "You won't catch a disease from me or get pubic lice."
I think that sometimes people think that the television is real.
Being white is racist? That's some desperate projection going on right there Klan member. Too little too late Grand Dragon.
Of course you wouldn't. How predictable.
Ignorance is choosing to be stupid. Asked and answered. Get a clue, get a life or just get trolling with someone else.
Brooklyn DA watched the unedited video and saw things differently. If you are such a defender of the truth than demand this website re-release the videos unedited. It's that simple really and imagine how much more victorious you would feel to show the majority of America that the 300 people dumb enough to buy this crap were actually right.
Lying about posing as a pimp when the videos prove that was a lie. Creating a "Blacksploitation" style motive to these videos and the agenda that they represent which people who are NOT racist find that to be racially stereotyping.

Stupid people hate ACORN because some liar told them to. Time after time after time again, these phony ACORN investigations always come up the same… INNOCENT. They misrepresented the videos, and should release the originals immediately, but never will, because it will once and for all show what a hoax this whole thing was. For goodness sakes, ACORN comes up innocent, and O'Keefe is now an accused felon. This doesn't even take into account the very real laws that were broken when they illegally taped the ACORN workers without their knowledge. So they committed at crime in the act of taping the tapes, and committed a hoax in the act of heavily editing the video, putting things in the wrong order, adding in overdubs, editing things out. See the recent Stephen Colbert take off on it with hannity if you want to see what I mean. This was a big hoax. It is always a big hoax with ACORN. Maybe you conservatives can get them next year, right? Not likely. Not without lying again.
