Obama's ACORN II

Obama’s ACORN II
(Please see “Obama’s ACORN, the Early Days,” http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1215, which reviewed the history of the president’s involvement with that extremist, revolutionary, anti-American organization and ACORN’s inspirations, smarmy affiliations, and misuse of millions of taxpayer dollars.)

The most recent scandal surrounding ACORN represents profound testimony to the group’s hypocrisy and utter contempt for law.

By now most people have heard of its advice and instructions to two Fox News Channel investigative reporters posing as a pimp and his girlfriend/prostitute.

In brief, the poseurs, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles, went to two ACORN offices where they were given helpful advice on avoiding taxes, evading the cops and, most reprehensibly, instructed on how to get away with trafficking in Latina child slavery.

(See videos below.)

ACORN’s “chief organizer,” Bertha Lewis, elected the best-defense-is-a-good-offense strategy and Ms. Lewis was very offensive indeed, accusing Fox of “relentless attacks,” perpetrating a “scam” and even charging the investigators with what “our lawyers believe a felony–and we will be taking legal action against Fox and their co-conspirators.”

The only attacks have been ACORN’s assaults on truth and honesty; the only scam has been ACORN’s pretense of being committed to empowerment whereas its actual purpose has been to undermine law and societal values; the chief crime has been ACORN’s very existence.

Ms. Lewis went on in her statement to comically and indignantly write, “I am appalled and angry; I cannot and I will not defend the actions of the workers depicted in the video, who have since been terminated. But it is clear that the videos are doctored, edited, and in no way the result of the fabricated story being portrayed:” http://bit.ly/YyiCb.

If I correctly follow her argument, the whole mess is a scam, the videos in question are fraudulent, yet innocent ACORN victims were nevertheless fired? . . .
