Holy crap. ACORN's response to this is:
"The portrayal is false and defamatory and an attempt at gotcha journalism. This film crew tried to pull this sham at other offices and failed. ACORN wants to see the full video before commenting further."
I just don't understand under what context this behavior would be considered acceptable. What good is seeing the whole tape going to do?
It's like Van Jones saying that it was all a smear campaign.
In the age of instant video and youtube, they're going to have to come up with better excuses than this!

This incident is really going to hurt acorns great reputation with the American people. If they could incorporate the race card into this it would be a good rebuttal.
Unbelievable? Nah. I dont think anyones shocked. I think the shocker will be if the other news stations dont cover it. Iam not even sure if that will be shocking.
Florida state attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle said the 11 workers hired to register voters by ACORN in Homestead, Fla., submitted 888 fraudulent names -- which included names of people who were already registered voters, fictitious names, and the name of the late actor Paul Newman, who died in Sept. 2008.
Fernandez-Rundle said ACORN alerted her office after it reviewed hundreds of voter registration cards it suspected were fraudulent. She said that none of the names in question actually voted.
I doubt that it is only in Baltimore. Look to any city that suffers from serious widespread inner city rot, you'll find the same type of slavery being promoted.
In virtually all cases, said cities have been run by bleeding heart liberals who think that they are being compassionate, but in truth are enabling the problem.
Same thing in the Washington DC office, was on Beck today. ACORN is a federally funded program (your tax dollars at work) and is eligible 8.5 billion in stimulus money.
