What a strange world we live in where someone can be forced to pay money for exposing criminal activity.

Oh happy day...

I guess you can continue to encourage prostitution now without worrying about being exposed. Fabulous.

Was that the one who gave advise to the hooker and the pimp?

Was it too hard to read the links?

Vera was one of the ACORN employees portrayed in O'Keefe's videos as offering assistance in setting up a nonexistent child prostitution ring. After his encounter with O'Keefe, Vera contacted the police to report "possible human smuggling," unaware that he had been duped.

Now you know the whole story.

 

[Intense]

How many laws did that ACORN employee break? James taped the conversation? OMG!!! How terrible!!!

 

[Rozman]

Why didn't the ACORN worker tell the guy to get the frack outta the office and then call the police.
Or stall the guy and have someone call the police.
Why did he give the advise in the first place...

Strange.

Now the ACORN guy gets a whole lot of Obama bucks.
$100K
Nice payday

Duh. He didn't know the guy suggesting criminal activity until the guys suggested criminal activity.

Apparently, right wingers can read minds. Too bad they don't read books.

There was no criminal activity

O'Keefe lied

Of course he can't. It's like asking a right winger to explain the difference between communism, fascism and socialism. They would say they were synonyms if they knew what synonym means.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy....

Didn't Al Sharpton once have to pay a ton of money for his part in the Tawney Brawley fiasco and
his slander of the the prosecuting attorney?

I'm not sayin....

EXCLUSIVE: Tawana Brawley served with court order to pay man she accused of rape - NYPOST.com

He believed her.

I believed Bush. The world believed Colin Powell. Colin believed Bush too.

Republicans believed "B" Girl.

 

[Rozman]

And James O'Keefe believed the ACORN people when they responded to his inquiry.

 

[Rozman]

And if the ACORN guy was wrongly terminated isn't his beef with ACORN?
