Thread Name: BS: Spread the Truth About ACORN
Subject: RE: BS: Spread the Truth About ACORN
Maybe they're not covering any illegal alien home loan racket because there isn't one.
I just watched Bertha Lewis being interviewed by Wolf Blitzer. She said ACORN is proceeding with the law suits.
The people who made the videos were caught in quite a few lies about their experiences at various ACORN offices. They stated many times that they were never denied help (while posing as a pimp and a prostitute) in any of the ACORN offices they visited. FOX News assisted them in making this claim. This page has a police report that was filed after ACORN workers refused to assist the video makers because they were asking suspicious questions. This also happened at other ACORN offices...

Here is a video of an ACORN worker who filed a police report. She says the people were not dressed outrageously, and they did not present themselves as a pimp or a prostitute. She says the man was not dressed as he appears in the videos that are being shown on FOX. And since we never see him dressed that way while actually talking to the ACORN worker in the videos, we can assume that he wasn't dressed that way when he was talking with them, either.
So we have proof that the makers of the video have lied quite a few times, including on FOX News, and that they misrepresented in the videos what actually happened during the making of the videos. We have overwhelming proof that these people, 1. have an agenda to discredit ACORN, and 2. they have used lies and dishonest tactics to do it, and 3. their representation of ACORN and its workers is a lie.
