Yesterday America's Right posted a story about the independent filmmakers who exposed the corruption in ACORN. The two had posed as a prostitute and a pimp seeking to buy a house to use as a brothel employing underage illegal aliens. The ever-so-helpful people at ACORN gave them tips on how to fill out the paperwork to get a loan and how to hide what was actually going on in the house.
As a result of the videos Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe III released of their encounters with ACORN, ACORN was excluded from playing a part in the 2010 Census, and legislation was passed through Congress cutting off their federal funding (unfortunately, their funding was reinstated--see RightWingGranny article of November 28,2009).
Meanwhile Ms. Giles and Mr. O'Keefe III have now been sued by an employee of ACORN for making tapes without the consent of the people being taped.
The article at America's Right goes into detail some of the legal action being taken against the filmmakers. It is a travesty that ACORN is still functioning with government support.
I only wish a judge would simply throw this case out of court.
