Filmmakers to Release Details of ACORN Sting in Philadelphia
Foxnews and Andrew Breitbart ^ | 10/21/2009 | Foxnews

Posted on 10/21/2009 7:59:38 AM PDT by SueRae

The two independent filmmakers who posed as a pimp and a prostitute and received advice from ACORN employees in five cities on how to skirt tax and immigration laws will hold a press conference Wednesday on their experience at another of the group's offices -- this one in Philadelphia.

James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles will be joined by Andrew Breitbart, a conservative commentator who runs Breitbart.com and BigGovernment.com, which first posted the videos last month.

"ACORN representatives claim James and Hannah were kicked out of Philadelphia," Breitbart said in a statement prior to the 9:30 a.m. ET news conference. "They also said publicly that, unlike Baltimore, Washington D.C., Brooklyn, San Bernardino (Calif.) and San Diego, James and Hannah never even mentioned prostitution before they were told to leave.

"James and Hannah will be joining me to set the record straight. After Wednesday, everyone will know what really happened in Philly."

They’re doing this just right -

wait for ACORN to provide an excuse,
show a video refuting that excuse.

Repeat.

LOL! I hope there’s about 5 to 10 more of these.

Alas, no more popcorn. But I will get out the carrots and broccoli. Too much waiting for good news and too much popcorn = bad...

Basically, EVERYTHING Acorn told the media was a bold face lie about the Philly visit.

And they provided themselves with plenty of ammo (videos) for the hunt. They in essence by-passed the state run media in regards to the fact they can’t just blow it off; the way the SRM would if it were only 1 or 2 videos.

I like the fact that they haven’t disclosed just how many videos they have in reserve.

Could be two more, could be a hundred. ACORN will never know.

So not guilty.

My guess is that they do know. They probably have checked with every office to see if they were visited by James and Hannah, or offices that were visited probably have ‘fessed up.

Actually, they’re playing the SRM like fiddles, too. The media has been trying to run cover for Obama and ACORN and they keep getting tripped up as well. They have tried to play it off as a one-time, no wait, two-time ... uh ... three-time, ok four-time fluke. Waiting to let it die down some and then releasing ANOTHER one is brilliant! Even making those dolts in Congress who are defending ACORN look foolish. I sure hope the filmmakers have bodyguards and are watching their backs. You know that their backgrounds are being researched way beyond what Joe the Plumber’s was.

What makes you think the lying, scamming staffers at ACORN’s local offices tell the truth the lying, scamming staffers at headquarters? These people lie instinctively. If their boss calls up and says “Did anyone at your office do anything bad like the people on the videos did?”, the automatic answer is “Us? Oh no, of course not, we’d never do anything like that.” Why tell the truth? They just want to pick up their paychecks and have access to kickbacks for as many more weeks as possible. They certainly don’t give a crap what happens to the overall organization if they’re not going to be a part of it anymore, so there’s no benefit to confessing upfront and helping the organization avoid more damaging embarassments.
