O'Keefe, Giles, BigGovernment.com and Andrew Breitbart all partners in fraud. ACORN videos were clearly edited.



















O'Keefe, Giles, BigGovernment.com and Andrew Breitbart all partners in fraud. ACORN videos were clearly edited.

We should have known it. The videos that made ACORN into a household word and nearly destroyed one of the most effective community advocacy organizations in the country turn out to be largely faked. I had anticipated that the internal investigation of ACORN would find no wrong doing by ACORN. Not anticipated was the extent to which the videos had been doctored to make the ACORN employees look like criminal conspirators. A reading of the available transcripts of the videotape taken by the right wing crusaders reveals that the tapes that were released were heavily edited and did not tell the true story.

There were a number of small lies, but the biggest one was the pretext for the discussions with the ACORN employees.
