Andrew Breitbart Trying To Blackmail The Obama Administration With ACORN And Other Videos
In the latest video (really two videos of one encounter), Los Angeles ACORN employee Lavelle Stewart is shown talking to the undercover filmmakers, “abused prostitute” Hannah Giles and her “boyfriend” James O’Keef,e in a setting that is obviously not ACORN but in a hallway outside of an office called, “Program for Torture Victims” where Stewart thought Giles would be better served than at ACORN. There is a point where Stewart offers to help the pair, though I could not tell from the edited video what, exactly, she was going to help them do. But Stewart also made it clear she was acting on her own, not on behalf of ACORN. As the Los Angeles Times reported, Los Angeles ACORN has refuted the video, saying, “The tapes are clearly doctored and highly edited and it is our hope this will be responsibly reported on should this become a news story… It is hard to respond to this tape. It is so heavily edited that it may be constructed to conceal the reality of the interaction… We are going to reserve judgment on the actions of the former employee (Stewart no longer works for ACORN) on this tape until we see the full, unedited version of this interaction.”The only thing missing is the stakes and stacks of straw where ACORN and its employees are burned after their trial by edited mash up tapes and trial by media insinuation. Our foundinf fathers would be so proud.
A genuinely smart man that had some rgeard for his country and his own honor would on occasion manage to get one fact straight. Not so for the far Right's conservative golden boy Glenn Beck, Beck advanced dubious claim that "[n]owhere in the Constitution can you find" authority for health reform legislation
