ACORN organizer rips video (California ACORN)
San Bernadino Sun ^ | 9/15/2009 | Andrew Edwards

Posted on 09/15/2009 6:51:12 PM PDT by markomalley

SAN BERNARDINO - The head organizer for California ACORN says a new video that appears to show a staffer at the organization's San Bernardino office is fake journalism.

The video, which was posted shortly before 2 p.m. Tuesday on a Web site called Big Government.com, shows a female ACORN employee talking to a man who claims to be a pimp interested in establishing a brothel where underage immigrant prostitutes would turn tricks in order to raise money for political activity.

The woman, identified on the video as Tresa Kaelke, appears on posted footage to be interested in cooperating the plan. However, California ACORN head organizer Amy Schur said the video is a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened.

"In this video, there are two actors who come into our office and who were messing with us. And our employee was messing with them," Schur said.

She said that the complete and unedited video needs to be released to the public.

Schur said that in a moment not shown on the edited video, Kaelke asked the undercover "pimp" if he was joking and then proceeded to play along with the joke.

Furthermore, Schur said that Kaelke will sign an affidavit stating that she was not seriously entertaining the idea of cooperating with an apparent attempt to establish a house of prostitution.

"She (Kaelke) asked if they were joking and asked if they were reporters. They said they weren't reporters and they aren't. This is not legitimate news," Schur said.

Schur's statements follow comments from ACORN office supervisor Christina Spach, who said Kaelke was afraid of the "pimp" and "prostitute" who broached the prostitution ploy at ACORN's San Bernardino office.

The Big Government.com video identifies the "pimp" as James O'Keefe and the "prostitute" as Hannah Giles. O'Keefe and Giles could not be reached immediately for comment.

She was in an office all by herself?

Not on the tape. There is clearly another man there, sitting to Hannah’s right. He’s shown several times.

Manners? Who needs manners? Apparently very few people feel they need them.

When I heard there were more videos, I thought the same thing, — the last one would be from Chicago.

Just as every child molester convict in prison will sign an affidavit that the little boy seduced him!

Hannity is getting the exclusive on the release tomorrow — looks like he and Beck are now vieing to see who can up the other.

It's Beck's story. As usual, Hannity (me, me, me) is horning on a story that he did not develop.

And still no response from our president.

It's funny how he was able to pile on that moron Kanye West within minutes, but is still mum about ACORN.

It's just like he couldn't find an opinion about the huge protests in Iran for a long time, but came out immediately against the Hondurans upholding their Constitution.

Each time I see another source with it frees Beck up to do other things and hopefully removes the target off his back only.

I just hope Hannity can strap himself down and don’t become the story. He gets like a pitbull and dont know when to let up.

His advisors must keep him in the blind so there’s plausible blah d blah d blah. He appears to be uninformed all the time. That’s no way to go through life.

It seems all these ACORN nuts do not fall far from the tree. Now we are supposed to believe this ACORN organizer! Which are the bad guys here...the employees, the bosses, or all. Seems no one can tell the truth.
