“Have you got any proof on that Daily Koz comment”

Here’s the diary titled:
“O’Keefe said he went after ACORN because it registers minorities likely to vote against Republicans”
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/9/20/192712/085

He links to a New York times article WITH THIS:

“James O’Keefe, one of the two filmmakers, said he went after ACORN because it registers minorities likely to vote against Republicans: ‘’Politicians are getting elected single-handedly due to this organization,’’ O’Keefe told The Washington Post. ‘’No one was holding this organization accountable.’’”
http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/09/19/us/politics/AP-US-ACORNs-Troubles.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all

They attribute it to O’Keefe, without actually quoting O’Keefe!!!

Thanks for all the great replies and links. I got what I needed for sure. But I got more. That was my first foray into the Daily Kos. I'll tell ya folks, that was an eye opener on several of those links for me. The language was “amazing!” Makes me really appreciate the guidelines we have here at FR ... that is a cesspool over there. But the thought patterns they use were also enlightening. What my evening at the Daily Kos taught me tonight was they we'd better sharpen the knives. Those people are scary and it is easy to see how they can smear even an “honest” effort. I was amazed to see their “defeatism” on ACORN however, I didn't expect that ... many of THEM think the thing should be “burned to the ground.” Anyway an enlightening and amazing evening at the Daily Kos (thanks for the links) ... but now I think I'll go take a shower ... I feel kind of dirty for some reason.
