Stung by the prospect of withdrawal of federal aid following the airing of video evidence of its corruption, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has filed a suit against filmmakers James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles.
ACORN attorney Jack Cozener argued that “real damage has been done here. The ACORN organization is losing millions in government money. Justice requires compensation for this wrong.”
Cozener said he will be demanding that “100% of the profits that O’Keefe and Giles reap from this effort—from the films, any books or other media—be turned over to my clients. After all, it is ACORN’s staff members that provide the stars for their video. O’Keefe and Giles couldn’t have done it with them.”

Giles and O’Keefe should be paid royally for exposing this crap and ACORN should get nothing. Giles and O’Keefe are NOT the criminals here.
Is this satire?
Great satire - chilling, though.
Glad I saw the, “SATIRE,” keyword...
Yes and your people caused it
The ACORN organization is losing millions in government money
How, exactly, are they entitled to it? For what purpose? When they commit violations of ethics and/or laws why do you expect that entitlement to continue unchecked?
Justice requires compensation for this wrong.
On this we agree. Start writing a check back to the taxpayers.
me=sucker
But the lawsuit is real unfortunately.
Good one! LOL!!!
That’s a cool website.
Had me going there, John....
:^)
Saw this one coming from DAY ONE...
Find a sympathetic Judge, then create a FINACIAL HARDSHIP on those that DARED to expose ACORN’s crimes...
I pretty much know automatically that anything John posts here is satire. But the “real” news is so absurd lately it’s hard to tell sometimes.
Fiction writer are losing work fast lately. No need to make stuff up - it is making itself up with this administration.
They need to get in Federal Court. Many Federal issues 1st amendment. Employees paid by taxpayers.
This would pass for legit on SFGate.com
Amazing the cretin can say the word ‘justice’ without his head exploding.
Uh...doh...
Although the article is semi-satirical, the lawsuits are real. There’s a legal defense fund for Hannah at www.defendhannah.com. She was interviewed on the Mike Gallegher show this morning.
