Power Line posted an article yesterday about the media coverage of the two young people who filmed the videos showing ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) employees willingly helping the two young people attempt to break the law. The Washington Post ran articles on Thursday and Friday about the two young people. They implied that James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles were not acting independently and suggest that the production of the videos may have been racially motivated. They also make a point of mentioning that Hannah Giles was the eldest daughter of a Christian minister. One Power Line reader points out that none of us have any idea what Woodward or Bernstein's parents did for a living, nor were they attacked for their investigative reporting.
A google search of ACORN will provide a list of the indictments against them for voter fraud and other charges in various states. We need to make sure Congress follows through on its pledge to withhold government funding from them. They may have started out as an organization that only wanted to help the poor, but they have become an illegal enterprise.
