Part II: Filmmakers Show Video of ACORN ‘Sting’ in Philadelphia

Fox News: 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 claim the community organizer group lied when it said the pair were shown the door without receiving assistance from staffers in its Philadelphia office.

Good job Breitbart. You were smart to show them little by little. The White House would have lied even more than they are now. At least they are getting caught in the lies. Media, get off your a$$ and give us the news, we’re sick and tired of propaganda.

Wo to those who call good bad and bad good.

Why is the president failing to give leadership on an isuue of wasting taxpayer money on a corrupt organization like Acorn. Why has Acorn only assisted the DEMOCRAT party when it helps with voter registration.

The MSM has not shown an “inability” to “do their job,” to ask questions – especially the RIGHT questions – or to fact-check. They have shown an UNWILLINGNESS to do so when their agenda is at risk. In fact, they have gone so far the other way that they actively support ACORN and other odious piles of corruption and attack truth-tellers, with lots of “fact-checking” lies and questions like “have you stopped beating your wife yet.” This is called “bias.” lol

This is NOT new, Cronkite and Brokaw were at it decades ago, and the NY Times and its predecessor for a century. For example, when Cronkite reported, falsely, knowingly, that the Tet offensive of 1969 was a disaster for the South Vietnamese and the U.S., when in fact it was a devastating defeat for the attacking Viet Cong, the switch to stealth partisanship was complete.

In the middle of Breitbart’s speech, the White House emailed to correct him – everything he says is wrong and ACORN is really doing a great job! Maybe it’s US who are getting all hysterical over this ACORN thing.

On top of this story, which is great journalism. Today, Obama personally on NBC “news”, drove possibly the last nail into the “NBC NEWS COFFIN”, by attacking FOX REAL NEWS again. How can this idiotic behavior continue ? Now it’s out that Obama met for 2 ½ hours, with far left loons in the white house. Those 2 ½ hours would have been better served with meetings regarding Economy, Afganistan, HealthCare. What is going on with these idiots ?

These are the hero’s of the modern era. These will be the ones that save America, because they take action and dont wait for the roof to fall in, like us.

The comment about the White House emailing indicates the pathetic aspect of Obama. ACORN has been linked to numeorus voting descrepancies in past elections. This is not something new..

Ok, I have seen all the segments of the appearance before the National Press Club. I have seen the police report that was filed in Philadelphia and I have some questions:

1. Didn’t James use an alias? I don’t recall him using his real name on the other videos. As a result I have to ask how it is that the police report has his actual first and last name documented?

2. I am wondering how it is that the video ran out of battery during the conversation with the ACORN worker, but then was able to capture their “pleasant conversation with the receptionist”?

3. If they have video of leaving the building, then I would think that would be evidence enough of the intentional inaccuracies that ACORN is perpetrating.

4. Maybe as a way to show the editing is not an issue in telling the truth, it would be a good idea to have a forensics lab verify the full footage has not be tampered with. That should shut up some of the critics (if James feels that he can do that without the tape being compromised. At this point I am not sure that there is a truly independent lab that the media would trust.)

Way to go Hannah, James, and Andrew. Good for you for taking the media to task. They are doing a shameful job, not covering this story. Its their tax dollars too. Of course, its been so long since they did any real reporting they may not remember how!

One word can describe Andrew Breitbart; Courageous!
Bravery like I’ve never seen before! Bravo Andrew, James and Hannah!
