I would suggest actually reading my posts before responding to them. I did not say the ACORN employees did nothing wrong. It's right there in several of my posts. I said that the accusation that they knew they were addressing a pimp and a prostitute and that these people told them they were going to operate a child sex slave ring is disputed by the people in the videos and by ACORN.

I support investigations into what actually happened like this one by the government of California. If they are found to be guilty of the above charges, I think the workers in question should go to jail. However unlike the above poster who still lives in the dark ages, I don't think they or the organization they worked for should be punished before they are found to be guilty, and I don't think the organization should be punished if they were not aware that things like this were happening in some of their local offices. They should take responsibility for a lack of appropriate training, and they should correct that (and they are doing that), but there is no reason whatever to shut down the whole operation for something like that if they correct the problem so it won't happen again (if, in fact, all of it turns out to be true).

The edits in the tape are quite apparent. All one has to do is watch the tape to see them. And we never actually see the "pimp" and "prostitute" actually say any of the things we hear them saying. There is no way for us to know whether or not that is what they actually said. These things are quite obvious and because of them, the tape we saw would never hold up in a court of law. They would have to show the whole tapes and even then, we still might not know if we never see them saying the things we heard.
